That is true, but many MtFs and FtMs don't. One is not more valid than the other. And frankly I don't see the point of over-debating exactly what gender-neutral pronoun to use. Just having a...

Not really. There is nothing personal about it. Many respectable figures in the history of religions also consider certain forms of incorrect beliefs to be pseudo-rationalism and pseudo-faith.

Frankly, I don't think you understand my point at all. Rationality is a methodology rather than an "end", let alone something "enshrined". And Rationalism is not just an Enlightenment idea, the idea...
