Indeed! lol

Too many acronyms. I can't keep up.

Remember when life was simpler?

Imo life was never simple....it was just different in some ways.
(agree on the acronym thing, though)

Actually, the Women’s Day is a pretty big holiday in some countries (in Russia it is, don’t know about Poland, though). It’s not considered political by most people, it’s just a holiday and has nothing to do with modern woke crap.

Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist? Maybe I'm not seeing the slur when I call a potato a potato.

I think the whole revulsion factor here is quite easily understood actually. These days it seems that everyone wants a pat on the back or a congratulations for something they perceived they have lived through or have done. Here we are in 2021 when personal choice and eccentricities of the few are forced upon the whole. We don't live in a Trans world. This is a fabrication of the minds of the few. As the previous poster has said. A potato is a potato is a potato. We shouldn't be forced to celebrate what for most is a mental illness.

It really is that simple for most folks. If a person thinks they are something they are not, it's called a delusion. I don't care what the woke media says.

Well this is all new to me but according to Wiki, it historically has been used as a slur to denigrate feminists who believe in Biology. These feminists argue that if it doesn't quack like a duck, then it isn't a duck, and therefore they can't be exclusionists. They consider themselves gender critical.

Let's all just agree to this Trans concept and get along. This also means we must call CyberPunk a well optimized masterpiece too. Hmmm......

Thanks all for sharing your thoughts posting Hi Breja

-I wonder too, my hope: to constructive dialog.
-No Hi morolf,
-Do you have sources to back your hunch?
-To have constructive dialog Hi §pec†re,

It's difficult to remember all dates I think. Besides, several posts on the men's day complained there was no need to have a date, so probably there is no harm there except some nice vgames discounts :)

Honestly I am not close to the feminist movement (other than reading some articles every now and then, some TV news and documentaries). What I know is the original feminist movement -evolved- to something different than the original and it also split in sub-groups which include few radicals. So I would give a chance that the hate to transgenders does not apply in general terms. But If you have sources, please share Hi Mplath1,

Good point, every life its important despite color, gender, creed.
But then, how would you create conscience about social phobias like discrimination and hate which are applied to specific targets?

Thanks all for sharing your thoughts posting. Hi Jorev,

Agree, but I'd say -Identity politics is a very risky business-
Why? Because it will always leave by definition segments outside of scope.
I'd like to discuss this in dept, but unfortunately falls into politics. We would need to find another medium. Hey GreasyDogMeat,

You are right, we are not. If you identify this thread as political and you wish to share, please provide the reasons.

No I am not exempt. What is 'correct' politics? Let's see. It depends if we keep it constructive, out of politics and in a civil manner...

I think morolf is just kidding. Right?
Anyway, the 101 of great whistleblowers is to be cowardly anonymous, and he is revealing his role. (Do you see why I say its kidding?)

The part I don't agree is about getting rid of annoying neighbours.
If I am considered as one, don't hesitate to let me know. Really.

Hi JoaoPauloZA,

Why? Do you have improvement proposals? Please share them

Hi TSC0815,

As a non native english speaker, I am lost in translation. Would you mind to detail your thought to a slow mind like mine please?
(The request also goes to you JoaoPauloZA)


You tell me! And you are native english speakers! Can you imagine how difficult is to us the non-native english speakers to follow/understand? A mini hell!
I go with GR: life is constant problems challenge :)

All right!
first the first: Hello Darvond!

And thanks all for participating on this thread searching for dialog!
Honestly, I am not fan of J.K. Rowling: Haven't read the HP books (I don't feel the need to read ~1500 pages) but I've seen the movies and perfectly know she is in the top10 of the most successful writers ever and therefore filthy rich and a worldwide historic celebrity... if that helps :P
About the specific topic: I remember to have read a couple of articles time ago (and maybe a reference to her in a documentary) about her controversial point of view.
So, before jumping to the entanglement, would you agree this article includes the whole story?

Rape is indeed inexcusable, but I don't see anyone here talking about rapists. Because of that, your post comes across as suggesting that trans people are rapists, which is a pretty nasty prejudice to display. All demographics have criminals and monsters within them, but if a trans person happens to also be some sort of sex offender those two qualities are as unrelated as if a black person happens to also be a violent criminal.

It's 47% Actually. It's mostly do to people mistaking mental issues with gender disforia and people are to scared to point it out as they might be branded as transphobic. The mentally unstable think they are trans, get the surgery, realise that it did not help them and commit suicide.

A slur is still a slur, regardless if someone finds it acceptable/ok to use it.
