Not sure why some people come in here pretending that this is somehow a Christian thread that is focused on muslims when in reality everyone here hates the negative effects of all religions in the same way. Israel is not an issue here because it reaches far beyond religion and has develeoped very complex historical and geo-political aspects that require a very deep understanding of the different aspects.
I'll freely admit that I know way too little about it to pass judgement but no one here is to protect "white religions" are whatever crazy idea popped into these people's heads.
People confuse gender with the way each individual expresses themselves.
Obviously everyone has a variety of interests, fits some gender roles that are made for their sex and doesn't fit others but that doesn't mean they are a different gender.
Everyone expresses themselves differently but they don't have a different gender.

America is such a hot mess, but I am actually glad attention is being brought to police brutality and rape culture. I admit that I didn't realize the extent to which the police system here is plagued by racism and can have deadly consequences for innocent people. That is something everyone must know. Rape culture exists--Brock ****ing Turner got three months for raping a girl. It's a mixture of corruption, rape culture and racism that allowed that to happen and we should be critical of that.
I get the impression that some of you don't really 'hate' all religions equally, but that's just me. We all have our biases I suppose. I myself am more critical of Catholicism because that's the religion I was brought up with.
As for gender, agender individuals do exist. So many people live in a gray space where they don't identify as neither female nor male. Why do we have to make life a living hell for those people?

If they want to be addressed with the pronoun 'they' then what's the issue, honestly?

I feel like being empathetic to what other minorities go through is something we should keep in mind. In the Western world people are still discriminated because of their religious beliefs or lack thereof.
