LLMMLL wrote: » If you weren’t so intent on bashing trans people you might be able to see the difference between her being trans and living as. 6 year old. When describing being trans she describes it as being unchangeable. When talking about living as a 6 year old she talks about it as a decision based on her desires, and they can be easily changed with her choosing to move to a different age to accommodate someone else.

If you think it "fine" to have a cross dressing middle aged man with a host of fetishes hanging out with small kids on a "play date", I really don't know what to say to you TBH.

How about you logically explain your objection like I asked. Then I would counter with my own opinion. If we are lucky a reasonable discussion would break out where people with different opinions exchanged ideas. You know, pretty much what boards was designed for. Call me an idealist, but that’s what I’d like.

LLMMLL wrote: » I really don’t see the issue with a small group of people, One woman and one family, living a very niche lifestyle. Nobody is entertaining it apart from the three adults involved. It’s not a societal issue. Also the pedo reference is a little silly. Not every odd behaviour around children is about having sex with them.

It's about time these courses were exposed for the unscientific propaganda vehicles they are.https://www.haaretz.com/world-news/europe/orban-bans-gender-studies-courses-in-hungary-report-says-1.6365826
According to the government, such courses are not economically viable as they take resources away from other academic fields and produce undesirable graduates for the Hungarian job market, the report said. Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest, one of the only institutions in the country to offer the classes in Hungarian, will take the largest hit. Lorinc Nacsa, Orban's coalition partner, described gender studies as a "wasteful luxury" and "destructive" in a letter to ELTE's rector last year, Hungarian Free Press reported.
"We must raise awareness to the fact that these programs are doing nothing to lift up our nation. In fact, they are destroying the values-centered mode of thinking that is still present in the countries of Central Europe," Nacsa was quoted as writing. Orban was recently reelected in an April election fought on a fiercely anti-immigration platform that demonized Jewish American billionaire George Soros and liberal NGOs he backs. Days before his reelection, Orban approved a draft education bill that critics said targeted a university founded by Soros.
