I'll take Smith... not only was he as vile a man as Young, he intentinally deceived tens upon tens of millions of people by creating a fraudulent religion to profit from. We have different views and that's interesting; I like the discussion. From what I see, Smith is at least not as racist and bloo...

Thanks! Goodness, this is from the Mormon church's site...

You are correct. Sexism is built into Mormon God’s grand design.

And indeed, if a compliment in fact makes someone uncomfortable, we need to respect that person and not use that compliment. My article is NO...

I would expect that in most situation a trans person wants to fit into the natural flow of human relations without trans being a focus issue or problem. In almost all situations saying your brave would be an othering statement putting up a barri...
