Art is expression. Every piece of art you’ve ever read, seen or experienced is the result of an artist pushing something. Especially the pieces of art that tend to resonate profoundly and stand the test of time.
Oda’s message isn’t one of encouraging people to become trans.
His message is the same it has been: existence is not a crime.
Oda chooses to show trans characters as interesting and positive role models. Hollywood tends to fixate on what makes them look and feel like freaks. Oda has a fundamentally more humanist view.
tldr - all art pushes for things. If you're against the principle it's not wrong for trans people to exist, that's something for you to deal with personally.

how? where ?
The media plays a big role too. The lgbt+ topic was pushed into a specific political corner, and anyone who doesn't identify with this side of politics automatically disagrees with anything they associate with it. In many countries lgbt+ is considered western influence and the anti lgbt+ is often considered to have sprung from indigenous pre colonial values and culture, when in many cases it actually goes back to western values of previous centuries that were forced onto the population.

I heard about Dawkins and always thought that he was an asshole
While I’m the opposite of an Arheist, I don’t see atheists as bad people. The heart is important and respect against each other but Dawkins seemed like a selfish and arrogant asshole with no respect for the feelings of others
So I’m not surprised at all

I agree. I also think I've softened up a little bit when it comes to religion. I'd like to believe there's something out there, but unfortunately I'm not convinced, so I'd rather be honest with myself. I understand religion when it is used as a means to connect with your inner self and others through spirituality and whatnot. However, Christianity is often used as a weapon for hatred, especially in my country, and that's when organized religion starts rubbing me the wrong way.
Mankind will always corrupt good and beautiful things because evil is like a parasite, it can’t sustain itself
Jesus had also beef with religious leaders who used religion for oppression and injustice
Personally, I’m not a fan of organised religion but there’s still beauty and goodness there

Oh I know that name. He was brought up in religion and philosophy class. Don't remember this name fondly but I forgot why exactly
But that's what they literally are. Western atheism arose as a response to Christianity. Atheists mostly talk about abrahamic religions and why they disagree with them. Christianity is their starting point. Which is why they often don't actually understand religion or spirituality. Atheism is all about being anti.

Well in practice in the world it is since we all have a fallen nature, it's not that there are good ones and bad ones, it's that there are some hearts better than others, but they're all wicked, the good and bad is just if you look at it relative to other hearts, not if it is looked at objectively from an objective absolute moral standard, by an absolute moral standard all of our hearts are wicked because we all have some evil
