Re: 'Transgender' prisoner gets life
Trump should say he now identifies as a women, but not change his appearance one bit.
It would really confuse people and those that absolutely hate him would have to admit he is the first female president

I consider myself left leaning but don’t think anyone with male genitals should be in a female prison so I don’t think it’s a left issues, it an idiot thinking issue.

Re: 'Transgender' prisoner gets life
There were a whole series of tv programmes about gender issues last year which I found very interesting. It gave a greater understanding of what an individual with these problems went through and the process of changing gender. It is not for the non committed and the biggest problem was not the actual change (operations etc.) but dealing with relationships - family, work and so on. There are people that suffer badly because of this.Inchy wrote:I think they used to say that about gay people.

The situation that brought about this thread was clearly a bad error by the authorities and not a sign that we have things wrong generally.
I think it's fabulous that these problems are being addressed. It is not a threat to the rest of us but gives a much improved life for those that suffer.

Re: 'Transgender' prisoner gets life
The high suicide rates are probably in large part down to people refusing to accept them for who they are, and for society expecting things from them that they can't reconcile in their minds. I think attitudes like yours kill more transgender people than anything else. These people are already as confused as **** and having to deal with that, but then society tells them that when they identify as a woman it offends them. That who they are and have no way of changing is offensive to you. You are essentially saying that their very existence is offensive to you. No wonder they kill themselves so much.Bfcboyo wrote:I believe on rare occasion this may be possible.

It's estimated that about 1 in 200 people are transgender to some degree, so I don't imagine that there's many people chopping their bits off without being certain that it's what they want.

Now that is strong bull shoite your spouting. They have massive psychological l issues. Not all of these people who claim to be Trans are actually in the same place physically and psychologically .
Where is this proof you have and show me the test they take to prove they are true trans and not just warped weirdos like our not so lovely looking Leeds rapist this thred is about.

Re: 'Transgender' prisoner gets life
Your missing my points and focusing only on your own views.
What physical test is taken to scientifically prove you are in the wrong body before doctors in the UK prescribe hormone blockers to children.
Do you think it possible people with underlying psychological issues may fall down the trans route?
What do you make of this Leeds rapist clearly full of testosterone despite the hormone blockers and a massive lesbian being put in a female Prison?

I don't believe there is a physical test. How would a physical test avoid returning the physically biological gender as the result?
Yes, i'm sure there are people who think they are transgender who aren't. But i think there are far, far more people who are living in a body of one gender with a brain of another.
I'm also sure there are people who mistakenly think they're gay while i think that there are far more people who are living in denial of their homosexual feelings.
And UK doctors don't prescribe hormone blockers to children just for shits and giggles, and the only ones that can be prescribes are drugs that delay puberty allowing the child more time to consider whether it's what they want without having to go through puberty (potentially) in the wrong body while they try to figure it out.

Our Leeds rapist should surely have had a test to pass a test before being given the opportunity to be a woman. He is clearly full of testosterone and attracted to women. How many are slipping the net.

Once you said this i was expecting the article to talk about how many people regret going through transition to in some way support your claime that it "happens quite often". But no, all you did was link one woman writing about her experience and claiming that that anecdote shows that it happens "quite often".
The only thing wrong with the process that she went through seems to have been the lack of counselling. Her parents could have been more supportive too and sought counselling when she was younger.

Yes, i'm sure a few do. So? The solution to that isn't to deny that gender dysphoria is real.
Re: 'Transgender' prisoner gets life

It is all about promoting and treading on egg shells not to offend.
Who knows in 50 years society may laugh and say look at how barbaric they were mutilating their bodies when if they had of looked into it they could have fixed their minds to realign.
A paper a theory a solution is only the answer until the next one comes along to take it's place with new reason, stastics, study and science. This changes so rapidly that the question is how sure of ourselves can we be in any subject . This mutilation of the body I will never see as natural as it isn't, no one should expect me too. Maybe the answer is wash the DNA with hormones to correct the chemical balances in the brain. An evidently young male has not had the correct amount of testosterone wash for his mind as a foetus then lets look at a way to help his mind fit his body before expecting all society to accept a man is now a woman.
I will never accept this is the answer it is too barbaric too strange of an outcome too unnatural and not enough research into other solutions taking place.

This is how i can tell you're arguing in bad faith. You claim to want a scientific answer as to whether people are transgender or not yet you don't respect the scientific method because you think that it is always wrong eventually. I've no doubt that if some kind of test were created you'd find another excuse to want to deny transgender people their right to self determination, all based on the lie that it's because you really care about those who aren't transgender but think they are. "won't someone think of the children" you're essentially saying while also telling transgender people to get ****** because they're not important enough for your sympathy or understanding.
Edit: "promoting gender dysphoria"? It's not a ******* marketing campaign. You sound like those homophobic morons who say that talking about homosexuality is the same as promoting it. Very Putin-esque. You can't become homosexual or transgender just because you learn about it.

The problem with these types of surveys is with all the best intent and purpose they segregate a large section of society who simply do not have the time and energy to complete them, whilst the people more likely to have the time to fill this out are the sections of society that have endless amounts of expendable time on their hands to worry about and get involved in everything that relates zero to them.
The results will be a biased unfair view on the thoughts of a nation on the whole. It almost makes me want to be religious so I have a reason not to agree with all this sort of thing other than my simplistic truthful views of the world through my ever ageing panes.

I think your difficulty here is that we have all been brought up to believe that men and women, although physically different, are not mentally different.

Now you and some scientists are saying that is 100% wrong and the differences between men's minds and women's minds are significantly greater than the difference between their bodies. Which is why Germaine Greer holds views so apparently extreme as to be worth banning from some public platforms - she doesn't believe this, and doesn't like the obvious inference that the Equal Pay Act is based on a completely false premise. If men's and women's mental attributes are so significantly different, then wouldn't it be time to abolish the Equal Pay Act? When the science is accepted as thoroughly as that, then I dare say we all will have to accept it.

No it won’t. He’s only female in his head, so he has no physical attributes of a female. So he won’t have to suffer what he made his victims suffer. He won’t be vaginally raped, because he doesn’t have one. But here’s hoping a shitload of other really bad and painful things come his way.mkmel wrote:Whether he's a transgender or not for me that does not matter

Re: 'Transgender' prisoner gets life
We're not talking about a the mental capacity of male and females, which is the premise behind equality laws. What we're talking about here the physiological and hormonal effects of being either male or female, and there's never been any question that the hormones and physical attributes of being male or female are different.dsr wrote:I think your difficulty here is that we have all been brought up to believe that men and women, although physically different, are not mentally different.

What we're talking about here the physiological and hormonal effects of being either male or female, and there's never been any question that the hormones and physical attributes of being male or female are different.
Nice try, though.
The point being that the Equal Pay Act is based on the principle that there is no material difference in the non-physical attributes of a man and a woman. Men are stronger, women can give birth, but for the rest, we're all equal (to over-simplify). You believe there is a vast difference in the non-physical attributes - both men and women can give birth, that the fastest/strongest people can just as easily be women as man, and that it's in non-physical attributes that the difference lies. So whither the Equal Pay Act? It suddenly becomes obvious that men and women have vastly different non-physical attributes which certainly means that men will be better at some jobs than women, and women will be better at some jobs than men.

You continue to misunderstand, and in my experience with you that isn't an accident. For example...
How have you come to this moronic conclusion?You believe there is a vast difference in the non-physical attributes - both men and women can give birth, that the fastest/strongest people can just as easily be women as man, and that it's in non-physical attributes that the difference lies.
Because men and women have historically been paid differently for the same jobs. Duh!So [why] the Equal Pay Act?
The equal pay act, pretending for a moment that it's even a worthwhile discussion in the context of gender dysphoria and transgenderism, is not about whether one person is better or worse at a job than another. It is about making sure that two people are not paid at a different rate for their work product based on whether they're a man or a woman. A company is more than welcome to pay one person more than another because they perform better, but they're not welcome to pay one person more than another based on that person's sex or gender.It suddenly becomes obvious that men and women have vastly different non-physical attributes which certainly means that men will be better at some jobs than women, and women will be better at some jobs than men.
