As we now have trans as a protected class it has shown the slippery slope in full free fall from the “gay rights” debate a decade ago. The problem is that laws based on fallacies will always be abused because their is no need to prove that any additions are legitimate. We have known for centuries men and women are not equal, we have known for centuries that racial aggregates depended on the culture dictating genetics. When we pretended that this didn’t matter we opened the door for non-biological protected classes. There has never been any evidence that being gay or trans is genetic, and there has been inconclusive evidence that gay and trans is biological at all aside from the biological impact occurring from grooming. In fact the best biological evidence we have is that external stimuli (aka other people) is what causes biological changes in the individual. Yet now we have more protected classes that are inherently non-biological than provably biological. These abuses are meant to subjugate not protect, they are meant to deny reality in place of accepting it.

Unironocally this. Our genetics determine our hormonal makeup and our personality. Human free will is extremely limited if it exists at all. Mostly, we just do what comes naturally to us and then rationalize it afterwards.
In the case of homosexuality, there is some evidence of same-sex attraction taking place among non-human animals, which indicates that either there is an overt genetic factor, or that it's a recessive genetic response to environmental factors such as food availability or population pressure. It could be that some individuals randomly express a trait that takes them out of the reproductive mix if population pressures grow too severe.
If there is no free will why should you believe any of the evidence you get from science on any topic? There is no reason to and in fact you shouldn't. Science requires free will to actually be science, otherwise you are just reacting to whatever your chemistry says.
Honestly, good luck to you but no interest in talking with someone who "has no free will" because there is no point to it anyway hahaha So good day to ya.
You can easily prove that someone who says he doesnt believe in free will doesnt believe his own bullshit. Punch him in the face until he asks you to stop.
If he truly believed there was no free will then him asking you to stop wouldnt matter because the number of punches he takes would have been determined from the beginning of the universe.
There's a difference between free will and self-awareness. Humans have sentience, but we are still biological beings and trying to act as if your character and behaviour are not determined by your biology and genetics is to deny reality.
Sorry I would type more but you literally don't have the free will to believe anything your chemistry tells you not to believe including that this text is something entirely different than what I actually typed. [and I am not speaking physical observation]
No, you are a scientific materialist. Its scientific materialism that is leading us on a direct path to Hell
I'm a biological essentialist: Evolutionary psychology explains virtually everything about human behaviour. Whether you believe in God or not, either His will or the natural order is expressed in your genetics. You can try to rise above it if you want, and it might even be that there is some virtue to be found in doing so, but to deny the role that your genes have played in shaping the person you are is just silly.
Evolutionary psychology is the BIGGEST crock of shit. Not all of our motivation in life exists because monkey. Its just absurd
People justify some of the worst human behavior based on evolutionary psychology
The evidence for it is overwhelming. Refusing to accept it because you don't like the implications doesn't make the evidence go away.
