You people are trying to. Why else do you have to legislate acceptance of an abnormal lifestyle choice like men who dress up like women and try to pass themselves off as a real woman? Feelings can be wrong. Biological fact cannot. Dangely parts? Male/man, no dangely parts? Female/woman. Seen how that works?
Legislation is there to prevent harassment and discrimination. It doesn't force acceptance. It prevents verbal and physical attacks. If your response to someone that you disapprove of is to attack them, then it's you that's out of order.
It has. Thanks to white Americans who died to change slavery in these United States. Even to stop blacks from owning blacks as slaves. So, yea. That is true.
. Well done the saviour whites, rescuing the poor pathetic blacks from themselves. Just listen to yourself. This is the racist equivalent of mansplaining.
I support equality between men/males and women/females. But there is a limit on where we draw the line. Such as no man needs to enter a woman's bathroom and vice versa. No man/male needs to play in women/female sports. We see this equality now being eroded by you people as men/males are invading this precious right under Title IV. Why do you support such disrespect for women/females? You are the outlier.
Why do you get to decide where the line is drawn? Why do we need separate bathrooms at all, and why can the not be divided on gender grounds rather than sex? I hat no problems with segregation of sports. Sport regulators just need to do their job to ensure fair competition. It's perfectly possible. There are women, that you would call women, with XX chromosomes, who are banned from certain athletic events because of the natural levels of testosterone exceed acceptable limits.
Persecuting anyone is wrong but that doesn't mean I have to accept someone else's lifestyle choices that I consider deviant and detrimental to my way of life. That's not persecution.
What do you mean accept?
What actually are you being asked to do, and how exactly is it impacting on your daily life? I sense manufactured outrage here.
And certainly, those who are considered outliers in society, such as these homosexuals, transvestites, pedophiles, sadist/masochists, those who have sex with animals, etc.
Disgusting hypocrisy. Lumping together those who commit serious crime with severe impact on victims, with those whose lifestyle is legal and harmless, impacting nobody but themselves, isa foul and underhand tactic. A similarly untrue sentence would refer to Nazis, Christians, Republicans, QAnon lunatics and gun toting white supremacists. Paedophiles are not shunned because you disapprove of their sexual preferences, but because they prey upon children. When you lump them together with homosexuals you start to think of them as being somehow the same thing. They are not. Please try to avoid bringing your absurd personal prejudices into the open like this and expect them to be accepted.
they have the same basic rights you and I have, but not one of them deserves special rights, such as marriage, access to the opposite sex/gender restrooms, participation in the opposite sex/gender sports, amateur and professional, etc. And when they violate societal norms they need to be held accountable for it.
Why? What's so sacred about social norms? Child prostitution and hanging for stealing a handkerchief used to be social norms
Not advocated for, as we see here. And, that said, they can't make me accept their sexual deviancy or their outlier demands. That I have to accept them, or else. Even when it's legislated, as they have falsely created themselves into a "protected class", and had laws created to force me not to speak my piece turning my opinion into "hate speech", or "enter your favorite sexual deviant choice-phobia". To abridge my right to disagree with their ideology and demands. That isn't going to happen.
. Once again you mischaracterize the nature of the legislation, brought in to stop harassment, bullying and discrimination. Are you claiming the right bto harass, bully and discriminate against total strangers because you disapprove of their life style?
[QuoteThat's wrong. Has been wrong. And always will be wrong. There is no such thing as marraige between same sex individuals. It's only two people of the same sex playing house. Nothing more. Nothing less.[/quote]In your opinion. Other opinions are available, and in this case prevail.
I don't deny there are people who are confused about their sex/gender. But I do deny it is normal and should be accepted, even promoted.
Do you accept autism? Do you think that it can be promoted?: Should neurodivergent people be harassed, bullied and discriminated against as a matter of course?
Take part in society? By invading women/female sports...by allowing men to expose their genitals in women/female bathrooms and public showers...by allowing them to confuse children in the public schools by purposefully confusing them and grooming them to accept such idiocy.
Ludicrous hyperbole. I've dealt with the sports issue elsewhere. People who use public toilets have one thing in mind, and it's not waving their genitals around. Do women routinely wave their genitals at each other in public bathrooms? Would they be committing an offence if they did? Why does the thought of a transwoman quietly using a cubicle to urinate fill you with such outrage? As for "allowing them to confuse children in the public schools by purposefully confusing them and grooming them to accept such idiocy." you are practically frothing at the mouth over children being read a story by someone in fancy dress, which to a child is boringly mainstream. Do you think that gender dysphoria is contagious? Or can be forced on someone? The idiocy here is astonishing.
So your argument, then, is all societal change is good and if I don't accept it, what we are discussing, I am mentally defected? Well I'm here to tell you that's not true. My way of life, and the generations past who have protected it, that way of life is worth protecting and you people are endangering it with your deviant ideology. So, here I am.
My argument is that society changes. That it generally changes because the majority of society members promote or acquiesce in that change. Whether it is good or not depends on your opinion. Parts of society are indeed worth preserving, but not everyone agrees on which part.v Not everyone can be on the side that prevails. The mental deficiency is a refusal to accept that this is what is happening, that transgender people exist, have always existed and that society has belatedly decided to recognise that fact. You may not agree with it, but refusing to see that this is what is occurring, is plain daft.
I am not denying biological science, biological fact. You people are, for your feelings.
Biology has proved you are wrong and all your appeals to "dictionaries, and public and private entities," etc. have not vindicated your aberrant ideology.
Biological fact. Science. A male/man cannot be a woman/female. A man/male, cannot get pregnant. A woman/female cannot get an erection and ejaculate sperm to impregnate a woman/female. This is biological fact. You can't change that. No matter how much you scream at the sky that I must accept your ideology. It's stupendously stupid, your position and arguments.
Biology is neither challenged nor relevant. Biological sex is not in question. Transwomen are biologically male, with male biology. This isn't disputed by them or anyone else. Biology is a Strawman. What we are talking about is gender. There's no biological reason why men should not use female bathrooms or compete in sport against women or wear women's clothing. Having XY chromosomes doesn't affect any of that. It's societal norms, gender in other words, that is in play.
I have ADHD. I have had it for all my life. I know how it has affected my life and impacted my place in society. But I didn't let that stop me. AND I didn't try to force people to accept me because of it. I take medication to inhibit the symptoms. This mediation doesn't cure me. It doesn't change the fact I have ADHD. It just quiets my mind and allows me to function in a more normal way. So, don't tell me about mental defect staring me in my face. I am fully aware of what a mental defect is. You, unfortunately aren't able to see mental defect because of your feelings driving your ideology. Heck, you can't even define what a woman is...
That you have ADHD is interesting, but neither excuses nor explains your attitude. Society should make allowance for your divergent behaviour, giving a pass for those aspects which can be problematic,and celebrating those aspects which are positive. I don't know if your society is as accepting of neurodiversity as they should be, in my opinion. Judging by your attitude to sexuality and gender, I would guess not.
