Men of boards, what innocent behaviors have you changed out of fear?

You do realise that discussing something is not the same as everyone nodding their heads and agreeing with each other? You sound very like the nuns that forbade any questions like if God was so good, why did he allow children to die of hunger. This is the new normal, where "free speech" is allowed only if it agrees rigidly with the status quo.

Thinking being gay or trans is a condition is not the same thing as being homophobic. Not in the least. I think coeliac disease is a condition but that's not the same thing at all as thinking that coeliacs are somehow inferior or whatever.

Illness/condition/disorder = something that needs to be treated/almost always seen as an undesirable or unwanted trait
Gay= not a mental illness/disorder/condition
Theres just no argument or debate here, it simply isn't and you're wrong. you can say something that is factually wrong and then when somebody calls you out on it say they are disrespecting free speech

By who? In my opinion if your born one gender then you will always be that gender regardless of how much surgery and drugs you take.

Gender is something thats in your genetic makeup not your physical appearance. If someone who has "transitioned" stops taking their hormones they will "transition" back.

Okay well in my opinion I disagree with everything you have said and believe they are the gender they identify as. Because it doesn't matter in the slightest to my life and its what they want to do with their life and body

Me and my friend walking home from a night club in Dublin one night, (both male) found a girl extreamly drunk beside the house we were staying in. She she couldn't get in, and her friends wouldn't answer the phone (asleep drunk) and it was freezing (winter). We couldn't leave her there so we brought her back to our gaff and put her on the couch. At least she wouldn't freeze.
When I told Dad the next day, he couldn't believe it. What if someone attached the girl for example and she didn't remember who it was, and thought it was us. We would be screwed. Never thought about it that way. But makes sense. 21st century problems

What your dad suggested is really worst worst case scenario here... Personally I wouldnt let somebody just because of an unlikely what if situation, think you definitely did the right thing..

I think when it comes to kids both genders have to be careful.
I (female) train underage girls football team, and even though my own kid is 1 the ones I'm training, I make sure never to be alone with them, always need to be at least 2 adults . If 1 needs to go to the toilet (they're only 7/8 so need to be accompanied by an adult back to the dressing room to go to the toilet; have to cross a road etc) I make sure to bring another child i.e a witness. Sadly has to be done these days

Of course i do. Its basic biology. They are call chromosomes.
Men have XY chromosomes and women have XX. Doesnt matter what surgery or drugs you take, this wont change (Unless you start talking futuristic gene therapy ).

I don't think it's as straightforward as that. All people basically start off expressing female gnese then male genes and it's a complicated process so it's not entirely surprising that certain genes can get overlooked or turned on off at the wrong time. It's so complex it's actually a wonder more processing errors don't happen.

We can see these sort of errors pop up all the time, some people have two different eye colours, some people are born without pigmentation, some people have freakish abilities like lots of strength or an ability to run really fast, some people get fantastic mental abilities in one area and lack abilities in other common areas. These types or errors are all part of the evolutionary process.

Even so I don't think being gay is an error, it has no negative side effects, up until recently it didn't even stop people reproducing. It seems to have a place in highly social animals that place a high value on offspring.

become a teacher?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/04/16/geography-teacher-cleared-raping-pupil-says-men-should-stay/

A geography teacher cleared of raping a pupil has warned that men should steer clear of the profession, after a false allegation shattered his dream career.

Kato Harris, a former head of department at an all-girls school in London, was accused of attacking a 14-year-old three times in a classroom during lunch breaks in autumn 2013, but was found not guilty after a trial last year.

The 38-year-old said before his ordeal began, "life was like a wonderful dream", and with a successful career and a child also on the way he was "looking forward to a great future".

In an interview with the Mail on Sunday, he has disclosed that "one of the biggest challenges" he now faces is forgiving his accuser, something he said he will do, "just not now".

He told the newspaper: "I would certainly advocate that no man qualify as a teacher. It is just not worth it. What is the lesson here? There is nothing to protect the male teacher."

Don't see how steering clear of that profession would stop it
As another user above posted, happened his relation in a stockroom
Crazy girls will not just be around teachers

its a different situation. in most other careers you can manage your space or there will be cameras or the chances of having to deal with a nutbag are small enough. If a male teacher taught girls for his whole career, we are talking up to a couple of thousand girls over a full career, plus no cameras, potentially situations where you have to have one on one meetings.
Then if you say you will only teach in boys schools you are limiting your potential to be employed. I wouldn't advise someone not to but I wouldn't tell them they are crazy either.

Gayness is an error.

Sperm are designed to interact with ovum.

Why would you spend energy on a system (sperm) with no application*.

That said, it doesn't make gay people bad in any way.

I see it as no different than any other malfunction. Asthmatics have malfunctioning lungs which enflame rather than allow air.

Gay people have a targeting system which doesn't lock on the right target.


*other than maybe beard wax.
