Trans rights, do you care?

Re: Trans rights, do you care?

Yes agree I meant people getting worked up about he/she/it/they pronouns is nonsensical. I'm all in favour of trans rights and people should never be abused. We like to think gender is "safely and simply" binary but for those people locked into the wrong body because of a biological aberration it must be a living hell.

Indeed. Getting worked up over pronouns is daft, although no one should have to display them.

That's not the issue though is it; it's about toilets, female safe spaces, women's rights, mental health of young people, whether transitioning can be reversed, radicalisation, language, inclusivity.

There's a whole host of issues that I can understand people have strong feelings about and there is a lot of politics and social issues at play even if many of us are largely unaffected or don't have strong feelings on it.

Re: Trans rights, do you care?

The right try to turn very isolated situations into major issues and political hot potatoes.
The left try their very best not to get burnt by the potatoes.

While certain sections of the media and politics try to get people pissed off about the potatoes.
Meanwhile the massive majority of the general public are not bothered and think "live and let live"

Much the same as the boats, and pretty sad that the country somehow gets focused on very small minorities and issues that actually, on a day to day, don't affect them. I guess at least it distracts people from not being able to afford potatoes.

You're right, the issue is about toilets!

A) They're never clean enough and
B) How come they're always locked when you're out and about and you're desperate for a p**s?

This is a much bigger subject that far more people should be getting worked up about.

Re: Trans rights, do you care?

44 articles in the past 7 days on the daily mail website speaking about transgender people in a negative way.

i wonder if that's because of a school shooting by a 'trans' woman, probly not

The non-binary personal pronoun situation is causing mayhem in some languages. There are over 20 different words currently in circulation in German-speaking countries regarding what English language speakers refer to as the non-binary 'they/them'.

I'd say about 20 of them were. But you're in utter denial if you don't think the dailymail posts negative stories about transgender people almost daily.

what positive spin can you put on a 70yr old woman having her eye socket broken by 'trans' activists, or the lesbian project being smoke bombed by 'trans' activists ?

Absolutely none

Re: Trans rights, do you care?

It's all becoming a bit boring now, Trans is the new vegetarianism.

However = the next 1-2 years is going to be hilarious - Starma cant tell us if a woman can have a penis , meanwhile the jocks are split in 2 - one side wants to allow male born rapists to identify as female and go to a womans jail and the other side wants a ban on same sex marriage. They'll be tying themselves up in political knots for years over all this. Meanwhile Suzi Eddy Izzard is wondering he/she/they can go on the all women shortlist to be an MP, both themself and their penis.

I don't know what your point is.

I don't know what your point is.

you gave a sensible reply, but now you dont understand that reporting 'trans' means covering a 50yr old woman being attacked by 'trans' rights activists , it means covering a little 70yr old man getting smashed in the face by huge drag queen, it means covering barbie kardashian, perhaps the grundians 'it didn't happen' stance it took to the wi spa incident suits you better.
