    You said:

    at the worst such an interpretation would warrant preaching for them to change their ways, not kick them out.

    Preaching at them to change their ways is attempted conversion therapy. "Oh, you can still live here under my roof, but I'm going to hector and snipe at you every day and make you feel like shit."

      Idk if english is your second language or something, but I honestly don't know how to make myself more clear.

      When someone says "let's say for the sake of argument ________" they aren't actually endorsing said position.
      I honestly don't even understand what overall point you are trying to get at anymore.

      You say people shouldn't quote scripture because people can for evil or as a political tool and I say that this quotation is used for good and to just treat trans people with respect.
      Then you say "yeah but there are passages in the bible that can be read as anti-homosexuality"
      and I said EVEN IF THEY CAN BE THAT DOESN'T WARRANT KICKING SOMEONE ONTO THE STREET BECAUSE OF WHAT 1 TIMOTHY SAID.

      At no point was I actively endorsing conversion therapy.
