Haha, reminded me of Deadly Premonition for a minute. :)

Though, i'm not sure about the excelsior part. :P

You misspelled boys there.

They will never, ever be women. Nope. Never.

They sure can become a woman, just not biological female that can carry a child.

[–]Chipit 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (12 children)

Nope. A man can't cut his balls off and become a woman. It just doesn't happen. If your tactic relies on the goodwill and tolerance of your enemy, and it’s working - you're the bad guy.

Irrelevant quote, but just pretend you know what you're talking about if it makes you feel more secure.

When you wallow in ignorance and refuse to question authority that is telling you obvious lies, you live in a demon-haunted world.

I'd rather be your "bad guy" than live in ignorance and fear.

Think for yourself. You don't have to swallow that SJW dogma. You can fight back. Resist!

there's a difference between sex and gender. argue all you want, it's categorical definition

[–]Chipit 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (6 children)

Argument from authority doesn't work when that crap didn't exist before a few years ago.

Men are men. Women are women. Anything else is a birth defect.

[–]cynical_americano 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

just because there wasn't a common phrase for it doesn't mean it didn't exist. get with the times, boomer; the lexicon is constantly evolving, so is science and humanities. also, they've existed a lot longer than a "few years". the concept(s) was explored in the "human sexuality" course i took over a decade ago. you ignorance doesn't equate to nonexistence of a concept/classification

[–]Chipit 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

I'm not a boomer, but thanks for using dishonest SJW tactics. I expect nothing less.

To ignore the baleful effect of far left ideology on the university is horrifically ignorant. Ideologues are in control and abusing their positions to advance their extreme political goals. Do you not know this, or are you pretending to be ignorant?

Fun fact: you know they have big problems translating these insane concepts into other languages? They don't make any sense. Canada ran into this because everything is supposed to be in English and French. The translators said they couldn't translate it to French. Telling, eh?

Sarcasm is a "dishonest SJW tactic" now?

Ah yes, college is all brainwashing and yadayada (i was a STEM major btw, i think for myself and come to my own conclusions using the information provided). College is meant to teach people a toolset for problem solving, not the answers to the problems. The ones getting brainwashed are the ones looking for an answer to be handed to them rather than looking for the method for finding the answer(s).

Back to the topic at hand - Disagree with it all you like, it's a cemented part of our lexicon and society at this point, and it has been for far more than "a few years". There are plenty of things that cannot be accurately translated from English to other languages a vice versa. That's not a very compelling point imo.

As for my own opinion, i'd agree transgenderism is likely, at least to some degree, related to untreated mental disorders (body/gender dysphoria, to name the main suspect). Gender is "fluid", as they love to say; however, sex is not. There is a distinct difference between the two - the former relating more to mentality, and the later to physicality. This is literally how the terms are defined in the modern lexicon.

So - things can change, but now it's cemented and we have no choice? Seriously?

You're arguing against yourself. And losing.

When concepts are so alien and bizarre that they only exist in one lexicon carefully tended by political extremists, and can't be translated to other languages, that's a sure sign you're dealing with bullshit.

No, i'm not. You lack imagination. Even cement foundations can erode and change, be reclaimed by nature, and soon a paved lot is a forest once again. The magic ingredient is time.

The vast majority of the people who accept the new gender classifications are far from political extremists. I'd consider myself conservative in many regards, but in social issues i do lean a bit left; either way i'm a far cry from an extremist in either direction myself. I believe in the concept of personal Liberty a la "On Liberty"; if someone isn't (negatively) effecting me or others with their actions it's not my place to restrict said actions.

Since you so insistent, i must pry: what would be the reason for these spooky political extremists to push this ideology? What does it accomplish for them? Surely they aren't just doing it for fun, so what is the motive you suspect?

"Some experts believe transgender women have a biological advantage"

Some??? SOME EXPERTS??? How about 99.999% believe it gives these athletes an advantage. The other 0.001% are narcissistic assholes who argue only for the sake of themselves and their cause. (Shame on the terrible author who wrote this article.)

They are people who disregard all common sense and science. They push their belief under the disguise of fairness and equality, yet care not for anyone else and how it affects them or how their actions will make others feel. Yet they expect everyone else to have this consideration for them and are outraged if they don't.

There is a very simple solution to this. A male, a female and a transgender class to compete in. It's fair, inclusive and reasonable.

The State of Idaho Bans Transgender Girls Boys Taking Female Hormone Treatments from Playing Girl Sports

But wait, what if they kill themselves over such a decision? this situation has gone so out of control.

Oh boy that's lovely. Can't wait to see the reaction to this on Reddit lmao.

Edit: Yes indeed, it is a fuckfest when this got posted to conservative and linked to a thousand other shitholes like ahs, top minds etc

Interestingly enough, there are a ton of idiots 'supposedly' parents to actual girls that are pissed at this decision in Idaho... Go figure, lol. I read Idaho news as I've got my land there.

We need to stop allowing the propagandists to get away with conflating sex and gender. Sex is biological. Gender is a description of behavioral characteristics that have been shown to be driven by biological sex. Dressing like, thinking like, and acting like the opposite sex does not make you the opposite sex.

Gendered language is intended to distinguish sex. That is why there have never been any pronouns for feminine men or masculine women until 10 years ago when this attack on society began.

We desperately need to organize a resistance to this despicable and dangerous attack. It will have devastating consequences.

I agree with this, the testerone difference is too great. Even in pro sports women get flagged for having high testerone. Schools need to create a transgender league for sports.

[–]useless_aether 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

no, that would only encourage degeneracy

[–]Trelard 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I've been saying new leagues need to be created as a solution, but I keep getting shouted down with the usual insults from the looney left.

They think parents raising their children to be confused about their gender is OK. If a woman watches Ru Paul's Drag Race all day then I am not going to think that their children naturally wanted to be "gender neutral."

Get a freak trans league going. May the best tHeM tHeY win.

So almost everyone here is heavily transphobic? Wow.
