How Great The Fall!
Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

Originally posted by Boxing Pythagoras View PostI think Jenner would say that he is finally accepting who he is, and I see no indication that he'll be one of those who regrets his sex change.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostThat's the point -- they do the sex change thing because they think they're "finally accepting who they are", and the notion that YOU don't see any indication that he'll regret it is totally useless. That's like saying "I think that guy can handle alcohol without becoming an alcoholic". On what do you base that?"[Mathematics] is the revealer of every genuine truth, for it knows every hidden secret, and bears the key to every subtlety of letters; whoever, then, has the effrontery to pursue physics while neglecting mathematics should know from the start he will never make his entry through the portals of wisdom."

I think Pascal said it best - “There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of every person, and it can never be filled by any created thing. It can only be filled by God, made known through Jesus Christ.”The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Boxing Pythagoras View PostThe alcohol analogy seems quite a bad one for your point, since the vast majority of people who consume alcohol are not alcoholics,
thereby justifying the assumption that a randomly selected person should be able to enjoy alcohol without succumbing to alcoholism.
Do you have any studies which show that the majority of gender-reassigned persons regret their sex changes?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I think part of the problem is that they somehow have it in their head that if they become the opposite sex they will live a life of that opposite sex and everything will be wonderful. But in reality they mostly end up alone. Heterosexuals don't want to date or have sex with a transexual, thinking "she is a dude!" for example. And even gays won't want to have intimate relationships with them. Thinking the same thing, "He is not really a guy, he is a girl"
That kind of rejection can cause suicidal tendencies as they realize their fantasy doesn't live up to reality.

We're not talking about painting each other's toenails here, or dying our hair purple, or getting a tattoo...."[Mathematics] is the revealer of every genuine truth, for it knows every hidden secret, and bears the key to every subtlety of letters; whoever, then, has the effrontery to pursue physics while neglecting mathematics should know from the start he will never make his entry through the portals of wisdom."
