Why your reason for hating trans people sucks.
- Published: June 27th 2026
I am a trans woman on the internet, an obvious and common conundrum to be in: people see the word "transbian" in my Discord bio and decide to have a stroke and say some milquetoast reason for why I'm "not right" in their very limited eyes.
I've decided to stop arguing about it and instead make this little page so I could send blatantly wrong people here (that might be YOU by the way!).
Christianity
The easiest debunk for this is The Parable of the Tenants, specifically Mark 12:31, where Jesus says something along the lines of "The second [most important commandment] is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'". The definition of 'neighbor' in this case means any other human being so essentially: Jesus told followers to love every other human being as they love themselves.
Some other proof against hating transgender people exists within Matthew. Matthew 7:2-3 tells followers that they will be judged by God with the same judgement as to which they have given to others in their life as well as stating that you should first judge yourself before you judge others: essentially telling people to focus on themselves than on others as you often have bigger issues personally than the ones you see externally to others.
Saying transgenderism is a sin also operates in direct violation of Mark 12:31 which specifically tells you love all as you love yourself. This means, per Matthew 7:21, you have not done "the will of my Father who is in heaven" and because of that, you will have sinned yourself.
Further is the story of Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch (Acts 8:26-39). Within this story as Philip travels through the desert from Jerusalem to Gaza, he meets an Ethiopian eunuch (a man who is castrated/has no testes) who converts to Christianity, learns the good word, and is baptised. Eunuchs were previously excluded from Jewish worship under Deuteronomy 23:1 and this change from that within the New Testament shows Jesus and God will accept anyone into the church, including transgender people.
Biology
There are only two sexes: male and female / You either have XX or XY chromosomes
This simply isn't true beyond a secondary school understanding of biology. People can and have been born with ambiguous genitalia, chromosomes that do not match the "typical" pair (e.g. X0/a lack of a sex chromosome, XXY, XXYY, XXX/Trisomy X), and having insensitivites to sex hormones (e.g. having XY chromosomes but being unable to take up testosterone) amongst other things that fit under the intersex umbrella. Biology is extremely complex and pretty much nothing fits into the boxes that anthropology defines.
We should institute chromosomal testing to combat this!
The International Olympic Committee used to do chromosomal testing between 1992 and 2000 for all female athletes using a cheek swab to determine if they had the Y chromosome which is before a lot of countries even had gender recognition laws. In 1996, 8 of the 3,387 athletes tested had a Y chromosome of which 7 had androgen insensitivity essentially meaning, despite having male chromosomal sex, they developed female external characteristics and appeared female. The remaining athlete had 5-alpha reductase deficiency which can result in ambiguous genitalia or female external genitalia resulting in them being registered (and raised) as female.
Do you feel these 8 women, who were most likely assigned female at birth and raised as women, should renounce the gender they were raised with and for their entire life understood themselves to be because they happen to have male chromosomes despite every other characteristic of their body saying otherwise?
Sociology
There has only ever been the male and female gender in society / Third+ genders does not exist in history
These statements aren't true even in "Western" countries. Many Native American and Inuit tribes have traditional roles for gender-variant people, many of whom have their own term for it in their respective language, and there is an idea of "third-sex children" in ancient Hindu law.
A particularly Western example is the Public Universal Friend, an American Christian preacher who lived from 1752 to 1819, whereby after a fever that brought The Friend close to death. After recovering from this fever, The Friend stated that their original being had died and their body inhabited now by The Friend, swearing off gendered pronouns and wished to not be referred to as either male nor female as well as wearing a manner of dress seen as androgynous. The Friend went on to form a Quaker sect known as the Society of Universal Friends. The Public Universal Friend died 150 years before Stonewall and 154 years before the first country in the world allowed changing of legal gender, disproving "recency" of divergent gender identity.
