    Reminds of that line in the Allanah Myles number years back, Black Velvet...

    "... a new religion that'll bring you to your knees..."



    Yeah I know that lyrics was about Elvis, but still.

    I suspect this may be the event horizon for the speech police, and I hope so.

    Hate speech is one thing, but this nonsense isn't anything anyone should dignify by catering to it.

    Normally I would agree, but I have been learning that things are not that normal. About 7 or 8 years ago a friend of mine and I were having a walk; she is a policy maker, I will just leave it at that. We were discussing transgender people and their plight, and I was feeling sympathetic. Then she said that the next thing ''on the agenda'' is pre-puberty hormones (blockers) for children identifying as trans. I laughed. Out loud. I said, come on now, they are only kids, it's a bit early pre-puberty to be interfering with them, isn't it? She shrugged and was silent. Fast forward far fewer years than I had imagined in my wildest dreams and I find that puberty blocking hormones are being prescribed ever more for pre-pubescent children in many countries, the numbers being refered to clinics in the UK have increased by 2000% in less than 10 years, and some serious professionals are beginning to speak of childhood gender dysphoria as being a form of social contagion with consequences that will one day be seen as drastic.
    I do think there is every possibility that our language, art, culture, sexual politics, family life etc etc will be policed very heavily into the future. The example of Trudeau is just a casual marker.
    I will be glad if I prove to be wrong.

    This ship is sinking, peeps. Time to err human the pumps??? But can I really presume that everyone errr operating the pumps self-identifies as human? Can I start a sentence with the word "but"? Being a human is confusing. I'm going to Nepal where I shall live as a goat.

    The only good thing about Tru-dope is that his mutterings are so cringey, they can't be ignored.

    Well the people of Canada will have the chance to vote this vacuous arsehole out of power in 2019.

    They should grab it with both hands.

    Interesting, Trudeau wished his daughter a happy birthday on Twitter and called her his little girl.

    So a few wise asses tweeted replies that in the interests of fairness he should refer to her as little person. ��

    Did you notice the rapturous cheers and delight from the crowd when he said it? This is not a niche viewpoint.

    It's about feeling good about achieving something and being part of a movement, the fact that it's completely and utterly pointless and doesn't have any positive impact is irrelevant.
    Legends in their own mind.

    Your ignorance on this subject is not surprising.. But maybe look into why kids are offered these reversible blockers before puberty sets in rather than spreading your ignorance around like the disease it is.

    Now, go wash your hands..

    not really , he and his cohort are in power and get to set the standard.

    If this sh8te isn't tackled it become priority and is ranked above real issues and real crime. Like we see in Britian, police in a rush to tackle people ranting on twitter when other serious crime is left untackled.

    I keep somewhat abreast of the news and have done since I was a child. I don't recall the Canadian prime minister getting this amount of air time before...why so? His liberal ways and passion for social engineering resonates with the the liberal media around the globe. They present him as almost a messiah and such positive PR works and influences people. That's why this needs to be stopped.

    Trudeau is a gob****e. If the alt-right were right about one thing, it's Trudeau.

    I know why they are offered. To temporarily halt the development of characteristics of birth gender. Some studies are showing reduced bone density, increased diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease risk, and compromised fertility. Some professionals who are experts in the field are warning against the use, and advising counselling instead until the child is older. I am not alone in my supposed ignorance.

    Justin Trudeau, the Canadian Prime Minister, interrupted a lady who said to helpfully point out that peoplekind would be a better choice of words.

    Is Justin going to be the non-binary huperson who rids us at last of that dastardly word ''Human'' ?

    I blame the brits.

    Humankind isn't inclusive enough?

    Not inclusive enough for who? Are there aliens I don't know about? When did women and all other new genders stop being human?
    Or is it that human contains the word 'man'? And if that's the case then what in the name of John, Paul, George and Ringo are we going to refer to females as?

    Wopeople?

    Uhhuh.. The key word you used twice is "some" i.e. a minority of biased and bigoted.

    The facts: the psychological damage of putting a kid through the wrong puberty far outweighs any of those supposed health "concerns" that "some studies" have "shown"

    This thread is not about attacking trans children - as much as you want to make it about that.

    So.. yeah.. I won't waste oxygen on you another moment...

    Bye..

    Don't know what I should be more disappointed by: the blatant transphobia or the complete lack of originality the poster displays

    Anyways.. I'm bowing out of this thread.. Don't need this kind of idiotic, hateful ****e.

    Hahaha, I'm actually good friends with a young trans lady, and even she wouldn't approve of this nonsense.

    I'm all for letting people be happy in their own skin and with their own identity.
    But nonsense like 'we can't say humankind' because it's not inclusive enough is where I draw the line.

    But, please do enlighten me.....quite who or what would humankind not be inclusive enough for?

    ....Oh....I just copped it.....you're with PETA aren't you?

    Jazz Jennings, a MTF trans teen has now discovered that thanks to puberty blockers that she hasn't enough penile tissue in her still-prepubescent penis to create a vagina. And it's irreversible.

    I'd say that's a pretty big health "concern" and pretty damaging psychologically at such a tender age.
