Question: if these views on the "Gender Spectrum" become accepted as part of the "consensus based morality" in the West, will you accept or reject this consensus view?
If the former, how can anyone else take any moral position you hold as anything but temporary? If the latter, then will you revisit your position that "consensus based morality" is feasible and/or desirable?
It was not a "gotcha" question at all: it was a genuine question. It's also not "my" holy book since I'm not a Christian (I would have called myself an atheist until about maybe a year ago, though it's been 7-8 years since I've been the "angry atheist" I used to be)
I asked a similar question to an IRL "rationalist" atheist friend of mine in maybe 2015 when he was describing how some of his opinions had changed as social views had. So I asked "well what if social views change in a way that conflict with something that's really important to you?" and he answered that he would probably change his views to conform.
Yeah that's what he said about 10 years prior to when I asked him that. Now he believes some things that are extremely irrational and is validated in those beliefs by other mutual IRL atheist friends.
