Less than 1% of the world's population is trans.
That's proven fact, not opinion.

How exactly can something like this be "proven"?

Well, consistent surveys show that less than 1% identify as trans, which is the only data we can go by.

I think the Omphalos hypothesis is a likely possibility of our Earth’s past, though I am a theistic evolutionist.

The Omphalos hypothesis doesn't resolve the problem for Biblical literalists that the fossil record shows that if Genesis is to be taken as literal history either God allowed lies to exist in the fossil record or that on an Earth supposedly designed to be perfect, with every species fulfilling its unique role, far less than 1% of the species that ever were are still around today.  You don't even need to bring up the age of the universe to make a compelling case for the first eleven chapters of Genesis to be considered myth rather than history.

It definitely seems like way back in the day unpopular/bad opinions used to be a lot more tolerated on this forum without people freaking out over them.

That's very different from "proven fact."

Yeah, I don't really trust surveys/polls that ask about gender identity or sexual orientation. Many people are still in the closet and would never admit to a surveyer that they're LGBT.

I know, but my point is that I don't see divine deception as out of the question, especially as someone who believes in predestination.  Granted, I'd have a real hard time being a Christian if I firmly believed that, hence why I'm still a theistic evolutionist, but I still see it as a possibility.

I prefer the term 'parable' to 'myth'.

So men today brag about the amount of porn they watch?
If so, I'm glad I got out when I did.

Shocked

What does that mean?  Were you a porn star at some point?

What? No, I was talking about being a guy (a team which now allegedly brags about how much porn they watch).

If it floats your boat to use that term instead, go ahead.  The word myth gets unfairly stigmatized, thanks to all the bowdlerized versions of myths the Victorians relegated to the realm of childhood stories.

You'd figure for someone who's been on this site since 2004, he'd be adjusted to "trans until proven innocent".

- You can be racist to whites, saying you can’t is a tumblrite excuse for your bigotry and hatred.

Rip me

What a brave man, making such a bold statement ;(

Unpopular opinion: most AZ users (with the exclusion of Cactus and some others) are trash. I don’t understand the issue with you, like I’ve never gone after you, yet you show up randomly and jump on my case.

I think the heat makes the Arizona posters overly aggressive. They always seem to be enraged about something.

Whereas you're a dick just because.

Even though IceSpear constantly pisses on my WV family, I still find him inherently more interesting and pleasant than you or that other I-AZ avatar. You guys need to tone it down. Or sit on a cactus. Either one.

There isn't really such a thing as a victimless crime, except in countries where being gay is a crime.

This depends on how you define "victimless", in some places, things like gambling and smoking weed are crimes and I'd consider those victimless crimes.

YES.

I'm going to a bluegrass fest on Friday. I'll try and get some good footage.

And possessing child porn is supposedly a victimless crime, but we went over this already.
