    Hot take bud, where do you draw the line with that?

    Can a transphobic postal carrier refuse to deliver anything they disagree with also? Shouldn’t they be able to decide what mail you get based on their beliefs as well?

    Or are you a hypocrite that thinks that rules should only be broken because you disagree with them.

    Oh, and please don’t go to Nazis when you feel someone disagrees with you. It’s immature, it’s irrelevant to the discussion, and it’s foolish as hell.

        People with strong religious beliefs believe that it does. They believe that even allowing people to see that LGBTQ+ people can be accepted leads to an acceptance of sin, and risks condemning a soul to hell. Even if it’s bullshit, they still believe that real harms are being done.

        You’re wrong here bud. No matter how you feel about it. You’re wrong. It’s her job to deliver mail. Even if she disagrees with it.

        And for the record- they will tell you that trans rights puts people in harms way as well- even if we both disagree- belief is belief at the end of the day- and someone is choosing to take the law into their own hands based on that belief.

        She should be fired.

        I’m done arguing this with people that don’t understand how federal laws work on the most basic of levels.

          Maybe not fired for a first offense. That’s a bit extreme imo.

          In a different scenario, what would you think if it was UPS or another private company worker instead of federal?
