I think that one downside to Evolution being taught and promoted is that then people falsely assume that Evolution has a relation to whether people are Christians or Atheists.

Evolution and Creationism debates
What nonsense. People had infinitely many different beliefs before Evolution became popular and long before Darwin or Lamarck came along.And if Evolution was somehow “disproven”(what would that even mean?), it doesn’t give people any reason to pick Christianity as the religion to believe anymore than Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism or Jainism.But the problem is that people can’t think outside the binary of Christianity or Atheism anymore than they are able to think outside the binary of male or female.People will of course keep fighting legal battles over which theories will be taught in schools because everyone is fighting for control over what children are forced to believe. It’s all child abuse either way.And I believe the primary motivation is financial. What people believe makes a difference in where they spend their money. Take money out of society and I don’t think we would see nearly the controversial debates that we currently do. -
I like to name myself
My mom gave me another speech about how she doesn’t like the name Chastity and that it sounds like titty. She told me never to change my name legally.
I don’t expect her to get the significance of the name to me but I told her that I have no plans of changing it legally because I’m too lazy to learn to sign my name differently.I have nothing against my name Chandler in fact I quite like it, but I also feel that it’s the name that she gave me because she liked it. Children are stuck with whatever name their parents decide to give them. People should be able to name themselves whatever they want when they are older and decide what describes them best.In my video games I give myself all kinds of names. I always do Chastity if 8 characters are allowed. If I’m limited to 7 I use Unicorn. If I’m limited to 4 I do Pony.I explained to my mom that I am a female unicorn trapped in a male human’s body. -
I am cursed
There is a fear I have that I don’t believe I’ve ever mentioned before but it is a fear many biological men must have. I sometimes fear the possibility that someone could falsely accuse me of raping them or claim that I’m the father of their child.
I was recently reminded of this fear because of the stupid paternity court show that is always on the break room TV at work right before I start my 11 AMshift.It seems like a silly fear because obviously there would be no evidence to back up such claims but still I wouldn’t want to have to go to court or have anybody believe such a thing for even a second.And that is actually an additional reason to want my male private parts removed. It’s far from the only reason but it is an extra motivation that I do think about often.It pains me to live in a world where men have a weapon attached to their body that they use to hurt people. I cannot relate to the feelings other people have about penises or testicles. I see them only as evil and something I wish had never existed.I think part of the reason I see myself as a woman is because I do not have any desire to see anything that reminds me of male body parts or masculinity. If given the chance I’ll get an orchiectomy and maybe even full SRS which would remove the penis entirely. I have no use for weapons as I have sworn nonviolence and celibacy.And that is why I’ve named myself Chastity to remind me that I am innocent and that I have not done anything wrong. And I feel happy knowing this until I feel the pain in my testicles or get an erection and I am reminded that I am cursed. -
Why Transition?
Why Transition?
I decided I wanted to write an explanation of why I think transgender people feel the need to transition in such ways such as changing their name, legal gender, or change their bodies through hormones and/or surgery.
I could be totally off in my reasoning but I think it’s about safety and simplifying relationships. At least this is what it is in my own experience.
Safety: Because some people may commit violence towards people who don’t conform to societal expectations of them because of their biological sex, this provides motivation to change their appearance to match the biological sex so that they are not as noticed and can blend in. For example there are people who have negative attitudes about men who watch My Little Pony. Even such a small thing as this can send some people into a rage. One person accused me of being a pedophile because they saw pictures of characters from MLP that I shared on Facebook. Biological men are more commonly accused of being a sexual predator than a biological female and they are allowed to like girly cartoons or wear dresses. I don’t like people’s attitude of what a man should like or the assumption that a man is automatically dangerous and to be feared.
Simplicity: I also believe that it can simplify friendships and probably sexual or romantic relationships. I don’t want people to only be interested in me because I appear male, nor the opposite for that matter. But the main thing is that I would prefer to form relationships after I am established in my identity rather than make friends only to lose them later because they don’t like me to change.

You can’t save my soul
Recently it seems I’ve had Christians trying to save my soul. I don’t know what the deal is. First I get preached to by a lady I used to know at Walmart, then I have a customer and even a co-worker at Hy-Vee telling me Jesus loves me. I can’t respond to that properly in public but here is my response.
- I have no proof that there is a Jesus.
- I don’t care if Jesus does love me. If he doesn’t love the animals and isn’t a vegan then his love is worthless to me.
- If you think that telling a vegan transgender atheist that Jesus loves them is gonna make them a Christian again you don’t know how the world really works. I’m too far gone at this point and I know your religion and god are worthless.
My Christian friends who are worried about my soul need to worry about their own soul if such a thing exists. Nearly all the Christians I knew growing up never had the slightest clue that there was anything wrong with killing and eating these animals but I came to see it and was very sad that I hadn’t had somebody to teach me real ethics and about going vegan sooner.
And my mother knew nothing either. Why did she learn about veganism from her atheist child? Why didn’t god reveal this to her so that she didn’t go vegan till she’s over 60?
These are the answers I’ve thought about deeply.
1. This god people claim to have a relationship doesn’t exist.
2. This god exists but just doesn’t care anything about the animals who are murdered by the billions.
Whichever option you pick doesn’t matter. Either way it doesn’t help the situation to believe that god loves you. I wouldn’t want love from a god that orders or simply allows the incomprehensible torture and murder that humans do to the animals both human and non human.
