What is Gender Atheism? - FREE, COMMENTS OPEN

A Quick Intro

Gender atheism is the complete lack of positive belief in the material existence of gender identities.

Gender atheists, like atheists generally, will not stand in your way from asserting the belief that this entity, this gender identity, exists, as long as this statement is made at the appropriate time and place, which is not in places of compulsory attendance like work, school or official functions. They are free to offer to proselytize, and we are free to refuse proselytization. However, if you want to compel us to say we believe in it, or behave as though it were real, you must prove its material existence, starting with a coherent definition.

Absent this demonstrable material reality, a person living in a secular society with freedom of religion has a right not to be forced to pray or led in prayer to any deities, including gender identities, such as by using words which acknowledge the deity's presence, e.g., using the deity’s pronouns without material referent for the pronouns or other so-called gendered language. In the United States, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. Compulsory belief in and tax-funded acknowledgment of this gender entity that has no material basis is an establishment of religion.

A female person's right to be apart from males in times of undress or sleep is rooted in the material reality of our bodies, not our belief structures. We have a unique vulnerability to male predation. I do not have a right to be apart from people who believe themselves to be men, but rather from people who are materially men, who have an evolved tendency to act towards me in ways I am statistically unlikely to reciprocate, and to harm me in a way I am physically incapable of reciprocating (pregnancy).

A child has a right to be free from harmful chemicals based on the material reality of the child's body, not based on the child's belief that the harmful chemicals are harmful or not harmful. A child who believes smoking will cure their dysphoria has no more of a right to smoke than any other child. Only when a child has a material illness for which a harmful chemical may help more than harm do we permit doctors to violate the child’s fundamental right to be free of harmful chemicals for the greater good of meeting the child’s right to evidence-based healthcare for documented physical ailments. Many of the trans rites require exposing children to harmful chemicals based solely on the child’s belief the harmful chemical will help.

A child also has a right to know who its mother and its father is, and to have access to medical information about each parent. This includes information as to the sex of each parent, which is necessary for judging heritable genetic illness linked to the X chromosome, as well as to mitochondrial illness, which is only passed on by the gestational parent, who is invariably female.

The trans rite of requiring everyone pretend that something false is true, is in direct conflict with these secular rights of women, children, and men, which are rooted in material reality. Secular rights must take precedence over religious rites in law in a secular country. We have the right to say what is true, what is false, and to act in reasonable accordance with our beliefs about what is true and false. We have no right to force others to pretend to share our beliefs, if we cannot prove to an objective observer our beliefs have a material basis.
