    I’m 43 and have no idea what a tracker mortgage fringe is... grew up in the era of the basin fringe... but don’t see that here.

    And he wonders why he cant get some

    Old picture, old hairstyle. Pic is from a 10 year old article.

    His last serious girlfriend, last year was a 21 year old.
    I think he is doing ok in the "getting some" department.

    Where will it end ?

    This guy, and people like him, will stop when people like you stop buying what they're selling.

    He's doing this because he knows people will say, "That's stupid, just like trans people, they're also stupid, so really he's very smart for pointing out that trans people are stupid". And he'll be invited on talk shows to say that he knows this is stupid, but if other people can change their birth certs then why can't he.

    Whereas if people just said, "That's stupid. He's a moron", he wouldn't get invited on shows, and he would stop doing things like this.

    Its because of this kind of nonsense that the worlds becoming more right wing.

    People are getting fed up with the liberals saying people can be whatever they want to be, totally against all logic, and its making people call it out as BS and then they are the ones being accused of being anti-everything.

    If you're 69, you're 69
    If you have a penis, you're a man
    If you have a vagina, you're a woman


    This won’t be popular but I’m also sick of parents telling their kids they can be anything they want to be.

    It’s jist not true, take medicine or whatever courses require 600+ points, most kids aren’t capable of that level of performance academically speaking.

    It would be much better to support and encourage them to to their very best and make the best of themselves that they can be.

    The problem is that even when they do their best and don’t get the 600+ points they feel like they have failed even if they have done their best.

    I was among parents at a sporting event some time ago, my daughter was heading off to warm up for a race and last thing I said was” try your best and enjoy it”. Parent beside me said to their kid “if you don’t win it’s because your not trying hard enough”, truth was their kid doesn’t have the ability or skill but did enjoy competing, they’ve since left the sport as a result of constant conflict over performance.

    If a poor delicate flower in Vancouver can have their ''human rights'' mercilessly trampled on because they cannot get a Brazilian for their stalky lady bits then I don't see why this codger can legally claim to be younger.

    :) hehe yeah I looked up their bias before i linked to them, not quite Hitler, but ya know, everyone who is not identifying as a pansexual Pleiadian otter-kin is a Nazi nowadays. Shrugs.
    So, the paper is right leaning? The facts of the case stand - or do you dispute those?

    It's outrage-farming.

    Have any courts found in his favour? Is there any indication that he'd win a case?

    No.

    But they print it because they know that people like you go looking for "political correctness gone mad" stories as an excuse to talk about pansexual Pleiadian otter-kin.

    They get traffic.

    You get to feel edgy.

    Just a bit more content pollution for the rest of us to live with.

    It also gives them an excuse for their own poor behaviour. "The PC Brigade made me do it".

    ''Outrage farming''. :) I like it.

    If you are adverse to content pollution you are probably frequenting the wrong threads on Boards ;)

    You can be born a woman and later change sex to a man, that's not an issue for me.
    It's when the genders limits gets blurred and people start saying there are more than two genders I disagree.

    My sympathies lie the other way:

    There are some people who are unlucky enough to be born with one set of chromosomes, and thw opposite sex organs. Or even wose, mixed up organs. This is where more than two comes in - and its very rare. These folk should get a lot of sympathy and accommodations made for them IMHO.

    Whereas people who are born with matching bits and chromosomes but feel like they want to be opposite .... pfft .... go have a fight with social expectations of your sex, instead of trying to muscle in on mine.

    I doubt that court will go along with it.... but, once precedent is set by those with gender identity disorder, then I think it is only fair.

    He probably needs a academic / medical witness to claim that "age dysphoria" is a legitimate mental disorder.

    Had a quick browse through that, regardless the leanings of the publisher that reads like pure blackmail. Sounds like these women have a legitimate reason for not providing the service but it's more of a 'pay up or I'll send the court and Twitterati after you'.
    One of them, Shelah Poyer, is a single mom who works out of her home. JY was willing to withdraw his complaint in exchange for $2,500.
    Once JY recognized that Shelah Poyer had legal representation and was going to put up a fight, he withdrew his complaint. No hearing took place.

    fair play to him !
    - tbh, more categories that are discriminated should push same agenda.
    for example, in a binary world even, ageism seems to be affecting staff as young as 40 !

    Likely the only reason that such happenings get covered in the ''right'' leaning press is that they do not fit the scriptural doctrines of the ''left'' leaning press, etc. And there are plenty more tossers than this person going round doing idiotic identity politics things, it just doesn't get covered.
    What struck me about that case, which only barely glanced off my attention to be honest, as it is more amusing and pathetic than anything, was that the women being sued found it extremely difficult to get legal representation in Vancouver, because of the nature of the case.
    That is where the specific gets universalised - that is where PC has gone mainstream. It's not just about one blithering gobshyte going around trying to force 16 different women to handle his c0ck, despite said gobdaw knowing there are plenty of places in Vancouver that will wax girl dicks (or whatever). The equipment needed is different for a start. The ''plaintiff'' was lucky he didn't meet a bolshie women with a strong grip who would have told him to hop up there on the table and we'll see what we can do for ya.

    Anyways, the madness will blossom and thrive, no doubt.

    I don't that's much to do with lawfirms not thinking there's a case to be defended there though. Probably much more to do with not wanting the headache of being harassed in real life and online by a bunch of purple haired lunatics foaming at the mouth.

    And while I don't think that's particularly right I can't really blame anyone for wanting to spare their business that kind of attention.

    Yes, for that reason. It's a bit like the gay cake thing.
