    It’s kind of cathartic when a racist, islamophobic, transphobic bigot threatens you by saying they’ll tell everyone that you refuse to debate their racial and biological theories, and you can reply with: “Yes! Please! Go tell everyone that!” 💁🏼

    Coming face-to-face with naked, unabashed, and unrestrained racism and transphobia is a terrifying and upsetting experience... even when it's only through a faceless, distant comment thread, and even when *I* am not the target.

    I can't imagine what it must feel like to be the direct target, or to experience face-to-face.

      It’s been a long series, but I think I’ve debunked every argument made for religious accessories bans, and shown the very idea to be absurd, anti-secular, and offensive to human rights. There’s onl…

    1. Religious accessories bans are wrong: The right to your face
      By Indi from Canadian Atheist
      This series is about religious accessories bans, and technically a ban on facial coverings isn’t a religious accessories ban. Or is it? Spoiler alert: It usually is.

    Definitely. I've been following Peterson's ascension for a while, and while I knew all about the UofT and Schiff stuff, all the Ralston stuff was news to me.

    The second major argument of religious accessories ban supporters is the "they're just advertisements" claim, that states - without evidence, of course - the supporter's opinion that religious accessories are nothing more than billboards to advertise or proselytize the wearer's faith. Let's see how that stands up to real evidence. https://www.canadianatheist.com/2019/04/religious-accessories-bans-5-proselytizing-by-accessories/ !atheism !secular !SecularHumanism

    Two weeks ago I introduced a series on religious accessories bans, and last week was spent laying out some preamble (stuff to consider *before* considering a religious accessories ban). This week the real discussion starts, and it starts with a bang, calling out the lie that religious accessories bans are "secularism". https://www.canadianatheist.com/2019/04/religious-accessories-bans-4-the-secularism-lie/ !atheism !secular !SecularHumanism

    RationalWiki is an excellent resource! But as with all things, do approach it cautiously - it does go a little too far in some places, and sometimes strays out of "rational" and into emotive.
