I don’t believe in God. Despite this, people who do believe in God continue to exist. I do believe that people who believe in God should have the same universal human rights as non-believers. God brings comfort to some and others cause unimaginable pain in God’s name. 1/4 I don’t believe in gender. As with God, I believe it to be a construct designed to limit and oppress. I have a right not to have a gender identity. Why would I want to buy into something I see oppressing me every day? I have a sex. 2/4

If a Jehovah’s Witness wants to refuse a blood transfusion that would potentially save their life, I find that sad but it has little to do with me.

I can’t imagine the sheer gaslighting of being expected to call him a woman. To have to explain what ‘her’ penis did to me. 2/5
