i fail to see how anyone could call a persistent delusion that one is or should be the opposite sex, culminating in the pursuit of surgery on healthy body parts and long-term hormone replacement anything but a disease. supporters argue that these radical treatments are the only way to cure dysphoria, but the numbers are inconclusive and we don't got cutting off the limbs of every dude who demands it, so why is it the accepted medical protocol? (because transsexual activism is based around advancing their gender identity above what's healthiest for everyone, there's good money in it, and our society likes the idea of a man wearing dresses and makeup because he's a woman on the inside more than a man wearing dresses and makeup because that's what he likes to do.)

they never recognised WWII and instead called it The Emergency, which lasted from 1939 to 1976.

The illiterate idiots who wrote this fail to realise that Switzerland as a neutral country fucked all comers into it's airspace, shooting down allies and axis planes alike, and housing their POWs in ski chalets because there was something of an extended off season on ski holidays at the time. Switzerland is /soc/, complete with the potential of blowing its own shit up and never calling you again once it got the money now you claim not to love it any more.

i spent a long time on tumblr trying to untangle it. i insisted that "all trans women have always been women", i read monetizeyourcat's stuff at face value, the works. then i started analyzing gender as a social system that promotes the separation of work and subjugation of females in order to extract sexual, reproductive and domestic labor, and now i'm a gender abolitionist. most people into sjw stuff deserve compassion, not hatred. they're vulnerable people trying to make a stand in the only way they know how to. but that doesn't include endorsing their politics or the way they discuss them.

Nothing wrong with that, but you do realize that abolishing gender categories altogetger is much more demanding than just getting people to accept that there are numerous ways to relate to them, and each is legitimate, right?

Economic communism is not conducive to fascist culture. Economic socialism can be, but that should be qualified by what Rocco said, in that economic liberalism can be as well, the economic system is not the basis for the ideology, but rather the ideology adapts whichever economic system will support it in the context of its time and place.

You should also be careful not to conflate cultural fascism with cultural traditionalism. Fascism is pro-tradition, as in a consistent cultural that unites a people, but it is supportive of creating new traditions compatible with contemporary material conditions rather than trying to force traditions that are inextricably bound up with passe material conditions.

This is from an allegory in the OT. Very few sects outside the biblical literalists and fundamentalists hold much truck with that.

You understand what original sin is, right?
I'm sure that women have been oppressed to a greater degree than men have historically, but again, this is because humans-mostly men, if we're talking specifically about the oppression of women, but there have been females who collaborated with the patriarchy, of course-are prone to do the wrong thing, which is to oppress each other.

The Church isn't big on scriptural literalism and I'm not educated enough to explain why the Church advocates certain roles for women as opposed to others.

Gender roles are what they are. If you aren't attracted to men and don't like the idea of childbirth you could always just not marry and not have children.

Seriously, Rites of Initiation classes will give you catechism lessons for free. I'd invest in a copy of the catechism rather than in Augustine and Aquinas if you're starting out, so you can get a current feel for things and the conclusions of the disputes between the two.

For instance, Aquinas' proof that an infinite amount of angels could dance spiritually but not materially on a pinhead was seen as a bit too Greek philosophy for the church, so your idea that being spirit they have no gender edges close to the heresy Aquinas would have committed if he hadn't shelved that proof in favour of other projects.
Both angels and God have been referred to with varying genders, not limited to the binary of sex organs. If you look through even Psalms in Hebrew, the many appellations of God alone tend to be as much female as male.

You seem culturally Protestant. Not all of church teaching is infallible or dogmatic; judgement is reserved for God alone; those who claim to know the state of grace of themselves or others would need to repent their pride or self excommunicate. Every Catholic is a bad Catholic, but denying the internalisation of the holy spirit in favour of church teaching can just as easily be a sin as witchcraft.

Catholicism only becomes a contractual obligation once you accept the Church, and then you leave yourself open to judgement for your adherence to Church law. They don't care what you are before, but once you're one of them, you can never leave, only lose contact and even that can be difficult.

Well it's easy enough for a straight person to say it's an obligation to refrain from homosexuality, or a man to say it's an obligation for women to stay out of the clergy, but if you aren't part of the targeted demographics, these aren't really "obligations" at all.

I have read Foucault, whose theories by the way are in fact considered bourgeois liberalism by many Marxists.

Whether or not demographics are legitimate is beside the point, the point is that you are not targeted in it. The targeters are imposing identity (which Foucault certainly dealt with), whether or not you personally subscribe to the identity doesn't protect you from being a victim of targeting.

The Episcopal Church does not recognize the authority of the monarch since the American Revolution. We recognize the Archbishop of Canterbury as the highest bishop (though in more of a symbolic way than an actual, he has authority but it's limited and he hardly ever uses it; but we generally follow suit with his policies). The communion of the Anglican Church works something like that of the Eastern Orthodox Church in function of authority.

Belief in Marx implies on a general level that you agree that economic conditions shape the social. The postmodern is simply a generalization of this to its logical conclusion— social behavior is produced and acted, and does not exist except in relation to its opposite. Something is the One, and everything else is the Other.

Postmodernism is leftist in a way that people who complain about "SJWs" can never be, because it acknowledges the signifying economy that produces the signifiers.

http://www.jstor.org/stable/536768?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents
Read "A Structural Study of Myth" by Claude Levi-Strauss to gain an understanding of the way that your social and historical conditions shape the way that you live your life. Keep in mind that postmodernism extends from Marxist critiques that indicate that material conditions are the ultimate cause of all of this. You cannot consider yourself the Left and still rail against "social justice warriors" as if acknowledging the inherent meaninglessness of biological and social concepts is unacceptable.
