Seeing where this comment thread originated: do you believe Trump supporters will stop hating trans people faster if we allow them to wear their religious uniforms?

As soon as it becomes apparent certain clothes or even hairstyles are forced on people to show they are part of a group, a ban can be discussed. Especially when they are forced on young children.

Every fundamentalist will use the same argument as you do: that these children merely want to express their religious feelings. Sadly, you can't open that door to those that won't force it on their children, to protect those of those who will.

I'm sure a righteous god won't think wearing a uniform is all that important in showing your love.

The fact that you blanket assume kids are going to spontaneously start wearing turbans withour their parents having anything to do with it is telling.

It debunks my argument about schoolchildren that similar rules exist for adults (when working in the government)?

If you think having to take off your religious uniform when you're representing the government is the comparable to state oppression in Iran or Uzbekistan, I get a feeling you don't know too much about life in those countries

Yeah you sure can advocate for people to be free to hate trans people and indoctrinate their children with it. You can sleep easy

Having died in ww2 should not give you full freedom to force your religion on your children

Well up that laugh track to 11 when you hear what islam thinks about that last part

Having gone to school with many muslims, sadly, it's more like 4/5. As in, 4 out of 5 of those girls are forced to wear their religious garment. If they don't it's seen as shameful for their entire family.

Some are beaten but most of them are given a free choice: they can choose not to wear it and leave their family (and most friends). Or they can choose to abide and show how much they love god. Not many 10 year old girls choose to leave their family though.

And the other 1/5th are the full on religious fruitcakes.

You'll be in for quite the surprise when you learn how these fundamentalist muslims think about trans rights

.

Ouch you're correct. Do I get half a point because one of is campaign stances was that the resulting sanctions should be lifted?

Yeah if you completely disregard the annexation of Crimea you're entirely correct. He was so affraid of Trump he never even took Crimea!
