I could not care less if you are weird or not, or is someone else thinks you are. With love and respect, you seem to be working out some deeper issues that I think have nothing to do with Steve's essay. I say this to you because I know from experience that reading barbed missles into another's speech and behavior is exhausting. And I'd rather see you exhaust yourself in more beneficial pursuits.

I use dictionary definitions of religion, society and mores. I do that with almost all words. It saves time.

Yes, mores are often - probably predominantly - based in religion. Which is your tacit admission that these are seperate topics. And may beg a deeper query about the existence of God.

I have no intention of exhausting myself. If you want to continue talking about the subject matter here, I'm game. But that's all.

“Working out deeper issues?”

It’s interesting that you have a need to characterize my motives for participating in the discussion. I stated those to Steve.

A. I have two daughters and two granddaughters. I want to be able to discuss the issues with them. They are directly affected.

B. I have trans people who work for me. I want to educate myself on their challenges including societies perception of them.

Does that help you understand my “deeper issues?”

What are your “deeper issues” for participating in this discussion? With “love and respect” laced with a little sarcasm.
