MAGA: Giving foreigners the same benefits as native-born citizens is immoral. This is why we need a government based on the Bible.

LEVITICUS 19:34 : "The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were once foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God"

MAGA: Cancelling student debt is immoral. This is why we need a government based on the Bible.

DEUTERONOMY 15:1: At the end of every seven years you must cancel all debts. This is how it is to be done: Every creditor shall cancel the loan he has made to his fellow Israelite. He shall not require payment from his fellow Israelite or brother, because the LORD's time for canceling debts has been proclaimed.

MAGA: Transgender is a mental illness and mutilating their bodies is immoral. This is why we need a government based on the Bible.

MATTHEW 19:12 : "There are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the glory of the Kingdom of Heaven."

@Lana I get the point you're trying to make but I'd rather be called a slur than a eunuch

@julia
If I imagine myself growing up in biblical times, i could see myself become an eunuch in puberty while current me still hasn't really figured out what to do about my gender at age 30.

And i wouldn't have "trans" ... as a concept to understand and change my expenses.

There are people in history and characters in folklore that we today can best describe as trans. But we shouldn't forget that we can't know if they would agree and how people would have lived if that word had existed.

@betalars I think for me personally if I was born in a time when medical transition didn't exist I just wouldn't have lived a full life. I don't see my gender as something that's queer- I'm a bisexual who leans saphic, thats whats queer about me.

@julia I wonder how much of this is akin to not being able to imagine living without active noise cancelling headphones and how much of this is me being a different flavour of trans than you.
And i also wonder how i think about this in a few years when I hopefully came to a good conclusion with my gender.

But ... and i think that underlines the point @Lana made ... if "eunuch" was a common word used by the LGBTQ community today ... MAGA would bash it just as much as ace or trans or non-binary.
