I think a lot of the mods here have decided that anything that doesn't tow the party line is a bannable offense when it comes to race, identity, sexual orientation, nationality, and gender identity.

For example: I'm sure I'll get banned for saying these things but...

Sex and Gender are the same thing. You cannot change your gender or sex. If you want to live life as if you were another gender go ahead. Everyone should be able to live their lives however they want so long as they aren't harming others. Men participating in Women's sports is flat out cheating, just the same as steroid use is cheating. Many decisions regarding gender identity should wait until after you turn 18. Transgender people are factually wrong about their gender, but also having a psychologist try to convince them that they are the gender they were born as usually just results in suicide or depression. So for that reason I am in favor of "Gender Affirming Care". If someone needs to live their life as the opposite gender in order to be happy and not kill themselves, then that's fine by me. At the same time, though, nobody should be forced to use anyone's preferred pronouns. Everyone has a right to reality and forcing people to deny reality in order to satisfy someone else is beyond ridiculous. I'm an Athiest and I see being forced to use someone's preferred pronouns as just as much of an insult as being forced to pray at a company meeting.

If you entered the USA illegally as an adult of your own accord and do not have a valid asylum claim you should be deported without delay. If you overstayed your visa and do not have a valid asylum claim, you should be deported without delay. Immigration whether legal or illegal depresses wages by increasing the pool of job-seekers. Everyone should be paid a fair wage with reasonable working conditions. What often happens with immigration is that everyone is paid the same but the job conditions and wages do not keep up with modern standards. When you have 35 people applying for one job instead of 5 you can afford to have that job be the same pay rate for 30 years and have the working conditions and pace of the job slowly grow worse over the years. 

I want to make another thread on the topic of how the Democratic party has been throwing elections by putting candidates with extreme views on immigration and gender identity on the ballot in red states. The problem is that like the mods on this site, nothing other than the party line is tolerated. But I'll save that for if I don't get banned.

At first, I would say that saying sex and gender is the same is on the same level as saying there is no square root of -1 or that there are only 3 states of matter. But we know that saying these two has no real consequences in the our daily lives. You can speak them out loud, you would just be wrong about it. Saying sex and gender are the same is different, though. It has implications, intentions, many times harmful towards a group of people. But there are times people is just stuck to their precious Basic Biology classes forever. I think the mods can use the powers to take an action when they see one's intentions with their statements. The world is complex even with rules and regulations too. If there is a rule that says "don't step into the grass", it is clear easy to verify if it is being broken or not. There are other rules that requires more interpretation of the ones responsible to moderate according to said rules. If I were a mod, I wouldn't ban you for claiming that Sex and Gender are the same because I don't see an intention of your part to be intolerant. You are just stuck to your Basic Biology class. I suggest you read more about the topic, scientific papers if needed, talk to people who whose sex doesn't align with the gender society imposes to them, know more about what goes on trans people in sports.

Well that's on me then for forgetting to mention people who are born as intersex. Someone born as intersex can pretty much choose whatever gender to be because they are biologically stuck in the middle due to hormonal pollution or other factors messing with their development in the womb. But people born as intersex are only 0.005% of the population. It's a very rare condition, as you can see here: https://worldmetrics.org/intersex-statistics/ Wait??!?!?! 1.7% of newborns are now intersex? Holy crap! Ok yeah, so I am now convinced that pollution has messed with embryo development to a serious level in the world. This is not normal. And if that many babies are being born as intersex then being there's a much higher chance of someone's transgender identity being more than psychological. 

And yeah, someone being intersex wanting to compete in women's sports sounds fair to me. There's already the case of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caster_Semenya.
