“God doesn’t make mistakes”
I’m not religious anymore but I’ve never understood this one. It argues the exact opposite conclusion than it’s traditionally used to argue.
It’s a fact that trans people exist. If God exists and doesn’t make mistakes, he made trans people, and therefore transness can’t be a mistake. If God doesn’t make mistakes, trans people are beautiful. I don’t understand how this could possibly be argued any other way

If you want to be a God type person or have an ally who is a God type person and that reasoning bothers you, then I like the trans guy on tumblr or Twitter who said “God created trans people for the same reason He created grapes and not wine - so that we may participate in the act of creation.”
Omg that’s such a great quote

They don’t even believe this shit. There are so many biological mistakes. All the way from glasses to disabilities. Every day babies are born who just suffer and die. Is that intentional then, does god create babies that are incompatible with life?
I’m not christian (any more) but it seems a lot better to say god doesn’t micromanage our lives like that.

“God doesn’t make mistakes - except for my nose job, that was a mistake I’m allowed to have corrected”
“Trans people are being tricked by Satan” or something. “We’re trying to save them from an eternity in hell” is probably what they would say when pressed on why they’re so hateful.
