Gender is a different matter.

They were doing so good up until this point, that bullshit is very much apart of the problem. There are two genders and it's same damn thing as sex. Let us not retcon these words to further the lgbt agenda.

I support, respect and protect trans rights

Also part of the problem. And Piers Morgan has no testicular fortitude. Because you can't support "trans rights" without infringing on other groups. If a tranny is really a woman then not treating her as a woman is discrimination, but they're not women and can't be treated as such without affecting real women. Gays and Lez gets affected by this too, but as they're yet again part of the same problem, oh well for them.

I don't think this is what he is trying to say

In a free society, you should be able to “identify” as whatever you please… but that doesn’t mean the rest of us have to buy into it, or that society has to change all the rules to suit your latest identity whim and fancy.

I interpreted this as him supporting their right to parade around dressed up like women, but also supporting my right not to participate in their delusion, and to not treat them like a woman

Morgan wants to sit on the fence. It's the logical conclusion to what he said.

I get that and I'm saying that view is wrong. We didn't realize it, but smear the queer saved boobies. It's time to care about boobs again.

We tried this accepting bullshit, but unfortunately it's catchy. Whatevs, we tried it, didn't work, time to go back to what did.

To me neither 'women have penises!' nor 'smear the queer!' are rhetoric indicative of a healthy society, but you may be right that the public isn't capable of a nuanced take on this.

Are you familiar with what smear the queer is?

Play starts when object is thrown into the air. Players may either snatch object out of the air or wait until it lands. If the object lands, the person closest to it MUST pick it up. (Group will use judgement, or someone who wants it can just pick it up.) Once a player is in posession of the object, they try not to get tackled. Once tackled, the object is thrown into the air (or at a particular person) and the game starts over. Play usually ends when everyone is tired or when someone gets hurt.

The societal benefit, aside from physical activity, comes from the message that homosexuality is undesirable. Kids shouldn't want to be gay.

Unfortunately.

No kids should not 'want' to be gay. I don't like that its becoming a trend. At the same time, there is a certain percentage of the population that will be gay no matter what, and while I don't want society to encourage homosexuality like we see now, neither do I think it is necessary to demonize the people that legitimately are this way, not brainwashed into following a trend.

I would like if we could get rid of the 'pro-alphabet-soup' activist woke stuff without demonizing people over what they want to do in the privacy of their bedroom. But I admit, this issue isn't anymore about what people are doing in the privacy of their bedroom, they want to verbally abuse and ostracize people for believing in basic biology.

Demonize them like saying if we let them around our kids they'll try to turn the kids gay? How do we keep that from happening? Keep them away from the kids. How do we keep them away from the kids? Don't hire them to positions around children. How do we not hire them in positions where they could negatively affect children? We end their protected status.

Then society is free to treat them as they will. It's not perfect I admit.

That's gone now, that was Don't Ask, Don't Tell. The rainbow mafia was not okay with that.
