    I find if someone has a join date less than 6 months old it's best not to engage, they probably won't be around for long.

    It's just a fun song about how consent is optional!

    Give over man/woman. If she looks like a woman, I will address her as a woman. Mistakes may be made, but in general less offence will be given than asking everyone we meet whether they identify as male, female or whatever. Or do we have to do a Mick Dundee?

    What sort of world would you need to inhabit for that to be OK?

    Could be worse. Smack my *insert desired gender/label here*

    that'd be truly horific

    Personally I don't know why anyone would want to but I wouldn't want it banned as I don't believe banning things really helps. Letting it exist and allowing people to have their say about it is a better solution.

    You could argue it given that she's trying to use issues for attention rather than coming up with solutions to problems she thinks exist

    Not liking "Blurred Lines" is an indicator of not liking music?

    Not sure. I thought SJWs were those who supported the outraged and easily offended.

    You could argue that if you knew for a fact that was the case but that's just speculation on your part.

    totally agree. people should be allowed have their say about it. and the people they direct that opinion at should be free to respond with their own opinion. even if that opinion is "f*ck off and stop annoying me".

    I feel sorry for you if the idea of politeness seems silly to you.

    Fine, here you go.

    Your turn.

    That article is for transgender people. She identifies as non-binary, not transgender. Are they one in the same? To me, she seems to think they're not, otherwise she would have identified herself as such.

    My evidence that it's ridiculous? How do you prove a personal opinion as opposed to something put forward as proof?

    No, that's the meaning certain groups pushing an agenda have assigned to it. I'm pretty sure the writer has never come out and said its a rapey song. But hey, why let that get in the way of an outrage opportunity...

    Are you for real?

    The irony, wow.

    You're talking about non binary and then complain about "blurred lines" when all you have been doing is defending "blurred lines of another kind.

    Sexuality has always been a dance of codes. All pleasures are perilous.

    Yes, exactly! And then others are free to make a judgement on that opinion, even if that opinion is "you're being a prick!"

    Personally, I think Blurred Lines is one of the best pop songs of this decade.

    for example, my gender is an xbox 360 controller. my preferred pronouns are triangle, square and circle. don't you dare tell me how to live my life.

    Aren't circle, square and triangle digital buttons (and hence representable through binary)?

    Not quite, Alanis.

    What "blurred lines" am I defending? If anything I'm on the side of clarity.

    Well if you are that sensitive then 90% of rap/hip hop is a no-no. A fair few of those poppy American gits aswell can have dodgy undertones mate. Just an idea to avoid your moral outrage.
