I'll have a look at that, ta.

What?

The services offered by Tavistock haven't been shut down, just moved to regional hubs because it wasn't fir for purpose any longer due to increased demand.

Trans people have literally nothing to do with your life as a woman. You've been hoodwinked into believing bigotry is valiant.

Serious question, how would you react if this became a family matter with one of your children coming out as trans?

That's absolutely not true. They're expecting over 1000 lawsuits after this report was released

Please don't patronise me Slim, I haven't been hoodwinked into anything, maybe it's harder for you to understand the implications for women as a man?

I would make sure I protected them as much as possible, get them in to see a therapist who would work through whatever issues they were having. Keep them a way from medicalisation for as long as possible until they really understood the implications of that, if as adults they still wanted to go down that path of course I'd support them and love them, are you suggesting I'd stop loving my own children? I hope not.

I don't even want this discussion, I just post my posts, but you keep it going for some reason. I've told you loads of times I don't want it for this exact reason. It never goes well for irreconcilable reasons. People on my side believe all groups people should be treated with respect, and people on your side view things differently. When positions are that diametrically opposed, there is no way around it, which is why I don't bother.


We know each other, Niamh, and have been through sh1t on here. That question was asked specifically because I knew you wouldn't stop loving your children. The fact you turned it around to accusing me of that shows that I was wrong - you don't know me at all.

Trans people have nothing to do with women? The entire ideology is to redefine the concept of woman, of all genders. You're gaslighting by ignoring that obvious and essential point. Personally if I had a child who thought they were the opposite gender, I would help them come to terms with the reality of being their actual genetic gender, just as I would help with any mental health problem. If someone is suffering from delusional thinking, the absolute worst thing to do is to go along pretending their delusions are real, especially with children. It isn't bigotry just because I don't agree with the religion of wokeism - I practice tolerance. I respect and am kind to all sorts of people who think polar opposite to me. The woke movement should remember what tolerance is rather than accusing anyone who disagrees with their personal beliefs of being a bigot.

I would rather not discuss it with you either but if you post something like that about Graham Linehan which I believe so strongly to be wrong, how can I not say something about it?!

You're saying I don't want people to be treated with respect? Why? I mean I could say I, as a woman feel disrespected when language around women is changed, when I'm referred to as a bodily function or body part (in ways that men strangely are not)but that position isn't valid on "your side" why does it only work one way?

I don't want to fall out with you at all, you're one of my favorite people on here. I was taken a bit aback when you brought my children in to it, hence the defensiveness when answering that question.

Again, I'm not getting into it, but bigotry is about prejudice against an individual or group, not a disagreement, so please don't make sh1t up.

Mystic Mock 06-09-2022 04:02 PM

We talk about a lack of Prison space a lot in the British Isles, hence why we release murderers and Paedophiles early apparently.

And yet this guy and Boris Becker are two people that are taking their spot in Prison, that really is a 2022 moment.

UserSince2005 06-09-2022 04:02 PM

maybe the twist of this is that the prison gay bum sex will make him realise hes a girl?

Redway 06-09-2022 04:03 PM

Because that was really the full story wasn’t it.

Not getting into it because your side is absolute unscientific opinion that you cannot logically defend, so it makes you hostile and rude. You might want to open your closed mind and realize you are the prejudiced one with no tolerance for different opinions. We could agree to disagree on our opinions, because yes, this is a disagreement, but you choose to vilify me and insist upon my acquiescence to your personal belief system. Intolerance like that is what will tear society apart because you are not morally superior to me.

This makes more sense.

Whether you think I'm right or wrong, or Graham was right or wrong (on this issue generally), his obsession did cost him his marriage, which is the post you replied to. That was a factual and non-controversial statement.

I'm not interested in repeating this over and over again. Women have always been 2nd class citizens, and you've been kept that way primarily because of one prevailing ideology in the world, and that has never come from people who think like I do. I think that's a non-controversial statement that you would probably agree with.

However, the same ideology that has carefully managed women's suffrage, in the same way that they've managed conditions for other minorities, is now suddenly propping women up to tell them that this other group is attacking them.

The same kind of person, incidentally, that has just stripped reproductive rights away in the US, or that will be the first to write "her skirt was too short" every single time a woman is attacked. These are the people you think are standing up for you, rather than using you to pit against another group. The struggles for women are real and depressing, but not because there is a single trans person on this planet.

There is no logic in the anti-trans movement (apart from sports, as I see it), and not a single thing I say could change your mind, so I did actually want you to feel that whiplash, because I know you're a loving ma who would stand alone against the 7 billion people on the planet when it came to protecting your kids (I just didn't expect you to make that insinuation).

People write all kinds of weird and strange stuff about trans people on here that I ignore, because I don't really give a sh1t, but it pains me when people I like, and that would never dream of attacking any other minority group, feels as though this is ok. The fight is for equality for everyone; we already have a tiered system.

Time is going to tell what happens. Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe scientists will identify a chemical imbalance in 5 hours time, than can be cured with a sherbet lemon, and I'll happily hold my hands up, but what these people are going through is real, and I'd still rather be the person that is willing to offer support rather than piling on.

Anyway, I didn't want to leave it where it was for obvious reasons, so I've replied here, but I probably won't reply on the topic again. I'll just post my posts, and let everyone else post theirs.

Dude, I could not care less about you. I don't know you, don't want to know you and the only person that has vilified the other, is this load of self important, projected drivel.

No it doesn't, as there's no evidence of harrassment or violence.

So you think that he got jailed for misgendering a child? Because that move I've heard isn't happening until 2031

Ireland is a different country to Britain Mock, we have Self ID over here. But yes he was jailed for breaking the court order that said he was to stay out of the school, seems like he refused to leave. It doesn't say he became violent anywhere in the article though as one poster suggested

Contempt of court, and violating an order not to go to the school.

Fair enough on the self ID stuff, but people seriously can face jailtime for being a dick?

In his case though I don't get why he is going near the School if there is a court order against him doing that, whether he was violent or not it's not gonna do him any favours with the law.
