Strangely enough, I've yet to see a man abused and criticised for referring to themselves as a man, or saying that they they prefer their sexual partners to be whatever biological sex. The vitriol and shaming is only ever aimed at women. Such progress. How can anyone defend this nonsense?

    Are you suggesting that men aren't attacked for being a man?

    No. I'm not sure how you got that from my post?

    I'm saying that men are never abused and hounded by these extreme trans rights activists if they refer to themselves as a "man" or refer to their biology (women have been attacked for referring to their reproductive systems, Ariana grande being the latest) or if they say that they would not be attracted to a trans person . Or at least, I've yet to see it.

    I'm a man. Not a cis man. I was born male. I wasn't assigned anything at birth except for my name. Anyone who has a problem with that or takes offense to it can, quite simply, fcuk right off.

    Sorry what’s a cis man or woman? Googled it and saying what your identity is at birth. So in old money as a woman am I now a cis woman in new?

    Someone who was born with the genitals of the body they identify with. In other words, a man or a woman. Bizarre

    Yeah exactly

    a cis woman is a woman who identifies as female and was assigned a female sex at birth

    Yep that's it. If you don't use it, you're transphobic according to the lunatic fringes.

    Except in the vast vast majority of people, sex isn't "assigned", its observed and noted.

    Assigned at birth. It's gas isn't it? You can probably bet there's people out there that get offended if staff at the hospital doing their baby scan ask them if they'd like to know the sex of the baby.

    Yeah it's mad stuff

    Nobody I know would identify themselves as a cis man or cis woman

    I think humans are dimorphic and that about one in 20,000 people are born either with a male XX or female xy chromosome most of these cases not all leave these people unable to contribute to producing offspring. Chromosomes can't be changed by scientists yet as far as I know. I think people shouldn't be allowed to alter natural body development untill they are adults and responsible for themselves.

    Oh don't worry, there are many SJW-types out there who actually suggest that having a preference for "cis" people as sexual partners makes one a transphobic piece of sh!t, and that if you identify as straight, that means you can't have any reservations about hooking up with a trans person who identifies as the gender you are attracted to, or you're just an asshole.

    These are of course the same people who go on about consent classes and so on, which makes it particularly peculiar to hear them shaming people for not being sexually attracted to some people, but sure there you go. :confused:

    With all the drama around the Scarlett Johanson role it makes it look like they are trying to build up a privileged class for themselves. Its like in their mind a trans person can play any character but only a trans person may play a trans role.

    And ironically, they'll use the "privilege" argument to justify that. In other words, anyone can behave any way they want, except straight people, white people, male people, and especially people who possess more than one of the aforementioned birthmarks of Satan.

    I note the IT today with a glowing profile of a doctor who performs gender 'affirmation' surgery...

    Shes coming on for an interview shortly with Dave Fanning on RTE Radio1. Its quality advertising for her business.

    A spokesperson from TENI on radio this morning taking about giving children (under 16) the legal right to change their gender with parental consent. If the parents don't agree then they coukd go get a court order.

    Now he talked about this helping many children but it must be a vanishingly small amount. He also said the recommendations came from an independent panel. However that panel was chaired by the head of TENI, so hardly independent.

    "Well, yeah, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man"

    Had to look up what TENI meant. I see it is coming to Ireland then. Bill 89 (2017) passed in Ontario, Canada, allows for the removal of children from parents, or foster families, if they are not supported to change gender.
    Michael Couteau, the Minister of Child and Family Services (Ontario), and who initially introduced the bill, said that he would consider parental discrimination on the basis of gender identity “a form of abuse when a child identifies as one way and a caregiver is saying ‘No, you need to do this differently.'”

    He continued, “If it’s abuse, and if it’s within the definition, a child can be removed from that environment and placed into protection where the abuse stops.”

    The new law now requires a parent or legal guardian to “direct the child or young person’s education and upbringing in accordance with the child’s or young person’s creed, community identity and cultural identity.”

    This is what happens when people run to suckle at the teat of the state for every thing - give me my rights! etc - eventually the state becomes the first parent of our children.
