You're the one going with us or them.
I'm sorry you see it that way. But I did find a two thumb Fonz for you.
Once upon a time, People believed that 'gay' didn't really exist. It was an excuse for deviance. Those people did not deserve respect. They could be spoken about in all kinds of outrageous ways.
Once upon a time, people in certain countries believed that others with dark skin, did not deserve the same rights as those with white skin. They were seen as 'less than' they could be spoken about in all kinds of outrageous ways.
Once upon a time, women were seen as 'less than' others, they could be spoken about in all kinds of outrageous ways, their rights were not as important as men.
The majority of people today absolutely believe in Human Rights, we are all equal and deserve respect. In decades to come those that treat Trans people as 'less than' and speak about them in outrageous ways, will be rightfully vilified.
All people deserve respect and noone should be spoken about as if they are 'less than'
Just treat human beings as equal and be respectful. It's not difficult.
Definitely. I've feeling they have no idea how horrendous it can be and then equate to sexuality! Lost for words.
That's what I thought.
Sandie Peggie is the plaintiff though, so if she refuses to withdraw her cause, they have no choice but to go to court.
I really hope she does go to court and takes them for a sum that really hurts.
Some people are never happy!
Do you believe your sexuality can increase your chances of dementia?
So if TWAW, in your view, should violent trans women be imprisoned in female prisons like any other women?
Has Isla Bryson been unfairly treated by being moved from a female prison to a male one?
I don't think I will. It's in the link.
Excuse me?
This thread is supposed to be about feedback on moderation of LGBT threads.
Why do you continue to drag the thread off topic?
So I'm going with bs and you're spreading horrendous untruths out there.
I hope you don't have any mirrors in your house.
Where did I suggest otherwise? I have first hand experience of two people I loved dearly suffer with Alzheimer's. I said it was dreadful for all involved, referencing Alzheimer's patients and their relatives.
So, show me where I suggested otherwise, or take it back, please.
We're already treating people with respect.
Anyone who doesn't is warned or banned, the offending posts removed and directions on acceptable posting issued.
What's being proposed is that absolutely all aspects of discussion on the trans issue be filtered through the lens of the opinions held by trans activists.
That means there is no discussion to be had anymore.
A better idea would be to ban all discussion on the trans topic altogether. Because of you bow to pressure of this nature on one issue you end up following directions from the same people on all issues.
You're proposing that the lunatics be allowed to take over the asylum. If this does happen an already struggling discussion site will become a blog for far left activists.
Read your reply to a message not aimed at you. Flanuer it was.
No not similarly at all. Similar would be if they forgot they were gay and thought they were straight - that’s not what happens.
Forgetting who they’ve come out to is like my grandmother forgetting that her husband of 60 years was dead and hadn’t just gone to the shops in Omagh. But she never thought she might be lesbian. Same as gays don’t think they’re straight. Because that genuinely is innate.
Whereas trans people with dementia who’ve had surgery can be very distressed when people treat them as their supposedly innate gender. Because it isn’t. It’s a social construct, like marriage. So they forget it.
Not what the link says at all.
I'm not proposing anything. The thread was started because some offensive anti trans language appeared to be allowed, and there is a suggestion that language should not be allowed. Seems like a perfectly acceptable suggestion.
What lunatics exactly do you think are taking over the asylum?
That link is about as clear as mud. I wasn’t referring to it.
But for example there’s this:
Apologies, I thought that was the inference. I just couldn't fathom why somebody would bring up the specific suffering of gay or trans people in relation to alzheimers. Doesn't really make any sense to do so, yet you did, and given the context of the thread I thought it was meant as another example of increased suffering borne by trans people.
Gay people can get Alzheimers and can forget who they have come out to, or if they've come out, which can lead to distress.Similarly, Trans people can get alzheimers and forget they've transitioned, which leads to distress.It's awful for all involved.

Can you not click links, is that it?
Patently untrue.
What was asked was the CA mods / Admin team look at what is going on and actively moderate the level of transphobic language being used on the site, with word filters if necessary to obscure terms known to cause offense to the transgender community, and to enforce their existing policy on being respectful to transgender people.
No it doesn't. Discussion can still be had, but if you can't engage in a discussion without "being a dick" or using offensive terms, then that is on you.
with word filters if necessary to obscure terms known to cause offense to the transgender community
Apologies if I missed it earlier but can you list the terms you think you should be obscured?
Already asked and answered. Read the thread.
Everything I have read is you deflecting from the question, as in this case. It does seem odd to feel so strongly to request mods obscure these terms, but not strongly enough to give examples of what these terms are.
Failing that are you prepared to cite the example on the first page of this thread that you considered crossed the line?
I mean it's patent nonsense though. The trans prefix was added precisely as biological sex and gender identity of trans people do not align. We're now expected to forget the trans part of trans, and pretend that transmen and natal men are indistinguishable despite the fact that they are in fact opposite sexes and to continue this pretence now it is transphobic (although remember don't think too hard about what trans actually means) to state that men cannot give birth.
This movement has long moved beyond giving people with dysphoria tolerance and respect and the mental gymnastics and inherent contradictions inherent in gender idealogy are absolutely farcical.
And I've already explained why I won't be providing that list.
So again I repeat, its best to do you own research.
Then I can't be accused of trying to force anything on you.
I am doing my own research on the topic of boards modding transphobia specifically by asking the poster who is requesting these changes precisely what the changes are that they think the mods should make.
I don't need to do any further research on what changes I think the mods should make as I think the current modding on the topic appears to be absolutely fine.
You mentioned a specific post on the first page of this thread that crossed the line? What is that post?
Of course i can. You posted the message so own it.
Kinda horrible.
You stated that you have no problem sharing a female only changing room with a trans man. Can you please explain how you would know that a trans man is in the changing room with you?
You have been asked multiple times but seem to be unable to answer?
