A rather odd hill to die on

I was curious enough to search for the reason why. Typical religious nutbar setting their hair on fire over nothing much.

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Thus sparked a frenzied, days-long dance of edits, reverse-edits and earnest dialogue over a cartoon cat's gender.
That's a lot to invest in stupidity, but we do live in the stupidest timeline.
GAH!

Is my dog non-gender now that I had her fixed? She has no internal female parts, does not go into heat, and cannot reproduce. It didn't even enter my mind that now she won't know what she is in doggie heaven...

Good one Meade.

Something like 75-80 percent of orange cats are male. So there is that.

Wouldn't it be delightful if people would invest as much time and energy on REAL problems as they do on shit like this?

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Yes. That was very disingenderous of you.

Big RR. It is really simple (as it always is in a binary world) Just check the birth certificate. No later medical intervention can change it.

But I am surprised at the tone of this thread. The sticker on the car just announces what every Good Christian knows, cats, all cats, not just Garfield. are evil manifestations of the devil. Just look at Joe Guy's avatar. Or review the posts of that one who shall soon be recognized as Saint Ray. who in this life posted here as RayThom

Apparently an apparel and merchandising venture by a college drop out musician type?
