A man cannot ever be a woman. It is Set in stone as it were. Trying to change that is futility.
Learn the difference it'll do you a world of difference.
You will have to learn the difference mate. At least if you want to be on the right side of history and live happely with trans people.
Criticism of a religion should never have anything to do with adherents of said religion anyway.
So i dont really care that muslims are a protected minority when talking about islam.
Shitting on islam and protecting muslims from racists arent mutually exclusive
Not really no.
Your critic will never be deprived of a context. By criticizing the religion of believers when said believers are under oppression, you will add a layer of pressure on them and your critic could be used as a way to attack them directly.
Again, I repeat, your critic can't be deprived from its context and the context in which you are making said critic.
The same way that you will not sh*t on the husband of a widow during the period of mourning, its non pertinent and potentially dangerous to make a blind critic of a religion of people who are under oppression.
I say blind critic because there are good critics to make about religions.. but its also not our place to take the place of believers to create a critical vision of their own belief. If we keep on criticizing globally a system, we negate the possibility to let a voice of critic flourish inside said system.
Said voices must be helped (only if necessary), but not replaced.
