Why not? While Bitcoin itself may not be perfect, the idea of cryptocurrency is fundamentally better than any other form of currency we have so far.

Transgenderism affects everyone, especially younger generations because it tells people that it's okay to accept something that isn't true. The only reason someone couldn't get away with identifying as a gorilla, for example, is that it would be completely obvious that he/she wasn't one. People can get away with transgenderism only because their private parts aren't hanging out. I don't see why we should lend any more credence to a man identifying as a woman than to a man identifying as a gorilla.
Men can pretty much morph into a female with the right surgery. This has no logical affect on you, it's completely unrelated (unless it personally offends you, which is what looks like is happening here). It's up to the person in question to make a choice, and it's not your choice to make for them. If they want to cut their penis off and pretend to be a women: good for them. How does this affect you? You believe that children shouldn't be exposed to this sort of thing, but why not? Transgenderism (while arguable if it's nature or nurture), I prefer to think it's caused by nature over nurture. Most children are going to be appalled at the idea of cutting their junk off to begin with unless they're suffering from some chemical imbalance (which is usually the cause for most transgender cases).

I agree with Saddam mostly. Although, treating a transgender person for their delusion would be the same thing as treating a religious person for his/hers. I don't think either of those scenarios would be acceptable to much of society. For now, I'll continue to refer to trans people by their biological sex. They can call themselves whatever they want, but I don't have to accept it.
Mental treatment is far more acceptable to most of society than physical surgery. As shocking as this may seem, your "I ain't holdin' with none of this here pee-cee bullshit" attitude isn't nearly as iconoclastic as you might think. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that it's the "default" reaction of society to transsexuals. The norm rather than the exception.
I'm against it for logical reasons though, not idealistic ones.
Then you shouldn't oppose it at all. Logically transgenderism does not affect you at all. There's no logical reason to oppose it. You are offended by it on some level, and therefore its idealistic. Aka a personal problem. That goes for anyone who opposes it.

No one on TFES can beat me at SSB, but you're all welcome to try once the new one is released.
I will accept this challenge. Let's hope the 3DS version has online multiplayer. If not, I'll have the Wii U version too.

It's on. I haven't played in years but I was a pro when I was 13.
It's a dark comedy because there are people who spent $30 on the blu-Ray to see how the general public gets fucked over and then get upset about it.
I spent exactly $0 watching this movie.
I think Superman would just instantly kill Batman. Batman is just a guy in a suit who can do karate and stuff.
Superman doesn't kill. You are out of your depth.
I think that using surgery to radically alter your physical appearance and butcher your sexual organs is a poor way to deal with what is at heart a psychological issue. I am actually an extremely liberal guy about most things, but I think that the notion that we should just accept this practice because "this is who these people are" is taking things a bit too far. It is truly disgusting. Whatever happened to just learning to accept ourselves for who we are? Does that not apply if we have difficulty accepting that we are male, or female?
