To address the point itself, I can like/dislike anyone and still agree/disagree with their opinions or pull them up on whatever they're doing that I think is wrong. That would be blindly supporting those I like and blindly disagreeing with the ones I don't. But in answer to your question about your posts, maybe you don't realise you're doing it? Fair enough, but it's there a lot. Last edited by Marsh.; 26-03-2018 at 10:33 PM. |

JK Rowling is entitled to her own opinion, whatever it is. The world doesn't actually revolve around transsexual women, although you would think it kind of does. We rarely hear about women who have transitioned to men... oh no... that is not where the drama lies. Do what you need to do to make yourself happy, but don't round on born women if their opinion isn't exactly the same as yours. |

Well a quick Google search says she writes for something called the Bay Area Reporter, "a free weekly newspaper serving the LGBT communities in the San Francisco Bay Area".
So kind of a journalist, I guess... ... you know in the way "community support officers" are kind of police. Except they're actually Edna the primary school dinner lady in a high-vis jacket telling you to pick up litter. |

Anybody can pay to have that done, you won't always be approved though. I think they take into account how many followers and the amount of "public interest". So "celebs" are more likely due to their high profiles. Last edited by Marsh.; 27-03-2018 at 01:46 PM. |

I think it should be offered to everyone as standard really... a "certification" mark if you supply proof of identity. My wife had her facebook account cloned by a malicious little **** half way around the world a few years ago, who she had argued with on a random page, and he had taken her pictures and name and started posting slanderous crap everywhere. It took facebook FOREVER to sort it out and have the account removed. |

Now they take requests, but they don't generally give it to them unless they meet some unknown criteria, and it's cherry picked. They decide who gets them. Last edited by Maru; 27-03-2018 at 02:04 PM. |

Has anyone else seen this?
Trans filmmaker Jake Graf and Hannah Winterbourne, the highest ranking trans officer in the British army, have called out The Sun’s headline about their wedding day. The couple’s exclusive interview appeared on the front page of the paper. The headline read: "Tran and wife. Jake who used to be a woman weds Hannah who was a man." On Twitter, Hannah called the headline "offensive" while Jake said the article, which he praised, had been "cheapened by such a sensationalised and misleading headline". I have a theory, that is that men from all socioeconomic backgrounds are coming round to the fact that some men would rather be women...Which of course is great I applaud this 100% What I don't think is being embraced quite as readily are women wanting to become men, I don't feel there is equal support... In fact I'd say they are victims of hostility, mockery and abuse as seen here. https://www.indy100.com/article/tran..._campaign=i100

So now we're calling out those not accepting female to male transitions after some rather offensive comments concerning male to female transitions?
Diversionary tactic? |

It's actually interesting what your other post said about male to female and female to male, and the difference in the way they are treated. I have a theory about that... I think it's as simple as men expecting to be heard, they are used to it, to having their opinions heard and getting their way (generally). So when they transition to women they have no idea what it's like to grow up as a woman and continue to stamp their Y chromosome, insisting that everyone sees things their way. Conversely, women who become men are (again, generally) more used to being the peacemakers, the nurturers, and they get on with living as who they want to be without involving the opinions of the rest of the world. I'm not sure how you feel about all that, but I have to say, I mostly agree with your stance on this. |
