    Does anyone actually have a problem with hermaphs though? I live in, essentially, Trump-city, and I’ve heard people actually distinctly separate hermaphrodites from their hatred because it’s how they were born, and there are physical characteristics. Maybe because hermaph as a subject matter existed much earlier in history? Or is it because they find it hard to grasp things they can’t see? But they believe in God…

    NONE OF IT MAKES ANY SENSE!

      My main point was that basic biology isn’t just as simple as, “two genders hur dur”, so there is no reason to think the most intelligent and sophisticated beings we are aware of are any simpler. Agree with everything you said nonetheless.

      They usually don’t. They go to church and own bibles and all because that’s what “good” people do. But by and large they don’t think there’s an invisible, omnipotent being controlling everything. If there was why would you have to pull yourself up by your bootstraps? And why would a grand cabal of Democrats be able to control everything?

      There’s exceptions but I really doubt a very large portion actually believe. It’s why they get so upset over alternative behaviors. Someone isn’t following the “rules” so they should be punished.
