I'm surprised at how many didn't get translucent. Aren't they teaching that in school these days?

"To repot a tree, for example". Do people really use transplant with this meaning?

It's the "original" meaning of the word. Using it in other senses is "borrowing" it from its original use.

Transgender means undergone a sex change. Transvestite simply means to dress as the opposing sex.

Technically this is wrong too.

Sex and Gender are completely different things.

Transgender people don’t necessarily undergo a sex change - mainly because sex isn’t changeable (ie XY/XX chromosomes). Transgender simply means you don’t identify with the gender (a made up thing, gender doesn’t exist in nature) you were assigned with at birth.

Don’t the terms male and female relate to gender? These certainly exist in nature. And who assigned me my gender at birth?

Sort of, but they more clearly refer to biological sex. You were probably categorized as either a male or female at birth by a nurse based on your sex organs.

My thought exactly, I tried transponder. I guess transmutation (or even transformation) arent right for the transubstantiation one, because that is the specefic exclusive term for it? (Though I havent heard of it, though in this case that migh not mean very much.)

Okay, I have a backwards complaint – you took my alternative answer and I think it should NOT have been accepted! :-D Transcontinental is definitely not synonymous with transatlantic. (I just had a brain fart and typed it in free-associatively.) INTERcontinental would be, but transcontinental refers to traversing only *within* a continent. Please unaccept my answer. ;-)

For the "cross-dressing" clue I just wanted to point out that the word "transvestite" is no longer used in the LGBTQ community or by the majority of cross-dressers themselves. Also, a person who cross-dresses is NOT the same as a person who is transgender. Hopefully this clears up any misunderstandings!

The wine and bread were not CHANGED into Christ's body and blood;

they SYMBOLIZED his body and blood that he was about to sacrifice.

Maybe, but official Catholic doctrine is that the bread and wine literally change into Christ's actual body and blood.

I thought it was more to do with the idea that you could purchase time off purgatory. Considering some objectively silly things that Protestants also believe, I think it was ideas that provoked moral outrage rather than scepticism that were the primary cause of the reformation. Correct me if I'm wrong here.

I don't entirely understand your point about "objectively silly things" or moral outrage vs. skepticism, but indulgences were a substantial part of the Reformation like you say.

You are not correct, but explaining the reasons for the Protestant Reformation can't possibly be done here. I encourage you to look into it though :)

Transvestite is more accurate but fell into disfavor around the same time that they started pushing the idea that gender was purely a social construct and that it was possible to fully become male or female if that's how you felt. Therefore a man dressed as a woman because they feel they are a woman is no longer cross dressing, i.e. wearing the clothes of the opposite gender, they *are* the opposite gender. This ignores people who might be men and still feel as though they are men but simply enjoy wearing women's clothing, both because there has been a disproportionate weight placed on the rights of "transgender" people and also because there is a parallel movement to try and delete all gender connotations from everything - language, toys, behavior, clothing - so these people believe there is no such thing as men's or women's clothing.

This is all very new, counterintuitive, and opposite to what even the most PC people said 15 years ago, so, some are understandably confused.

I love how you repeatedly comment about how race is a lie and not actually real and wish everybody wouldn't get mad at you when you say you're not "white" but you also have some special vitriol for people who question and experiment with gender identity because you seem not to be able to stand the "woke mob."

"To transpire" doesn't mean "to happen". It means "to be revealed" or "to come to be known".
