Classy is suggesting people are contributing to suicides and are at fault for the troubled minds and souls of trans people, just because they disagree with him. Peter Wilton writes his posts just like Imp Turtle used to that was the ref. to the turtle. It is a bit much accusing and saying the suici...

It seems some of you think that you know better than the professionals, and nothing is going to sway you away from your transphobic attitudes.at least nothing I'm capable of explaining. It is nearly impossible to help someone understand something that they are determined not to understand. You will ...

CAA8CCD6-6309-4C88-AC38-1ABAE1E94CED.jpeg Mermaids promoted this. It’s one of the more backward, insulting, sexist, misogynistic things I’ve ever seen. But produced by the good guys, apparently. Is that not intended for children? Where was that promoted and in what context? Because if that was inte...

Interesting strawman you have there Charlie. Just to address your comments... Nobody has defended Linehan. The comments you describe as transphobic are not transphobic. Please address the points raised as opposed to your interpretation of them. Altering what's posted, to make you seem more virtuous...

I don’t think many people kill themselves because they’re not happy with their gender. They’re more likely to do so because society has taught them that how they feel is wrong and immoral, or they’ve been bullied, or they don’t feel grounded, or feel conflicted inside. I think the reasons are many,...

You missed something. In your world there is only extreme left and far right.

And all us normal people in the middle place called reality laugh at it all .

I really have no idea what this post means or how it relates to the post you replied to. Did you quote the wrong commenter by mistake?

Know them all do you? How do you know how long they have waited?

I know how long because I've been curious enough to look it up to find out what the process looks like and the time frames involved. Why haven't you?

How did we get back onto gender dysphoria again?

You cropped out the part of my post at then end which explained the relevance. Was that intentional or accidental?

PeterWilton

You've misunderstood the question. When I ask how many people killed themselves before this condition was discovered, what I was really asking was how many people killed themselves for this condition before it was discovered. Sorry if you misunderstood. I tried to make it simple. Perhaps if I rephr...

I believe the number of trans people who have considered suicide is nearly ninety percent. I'm not sure what study you're referring to but that wouldn't surprise me if 48 percent have tried to kill themselves. Its such a serious issue that its upsetting to see people openly mocking transgender peop...

Apparently the new X box coming out in november for around £500 wipes the floor with any gaming PC at the price range of £1800. Thats according to my son of course who wants 1. Your son will be wrong. Maybe it'll match a £1000 system. Maybe. But there's a reason you pay through the nose for console...

And honestly, building them is really easy. Watch a video. You'll see how easy it is.

PeterWilton

It's expensive when you think of it as just a gaming machine, but it'll also be a homework/schooling machine and possibly a household Internet machine.

And the games for it are far cheaper, and far far mor numerous than for the xbox.

My lad (age 10) keeps going on about wanting a gaming PC. I have very little knowledge of what these entail so I really don’t know where to look and I was a bit shocked by prices of more than a grand. He isn’t going to do much with it apart from play some of the common, popular games. With this in ...

Apologies if it has already been covered in this thread but the example of cancel culture that has most caught my attention is the treatment of Laurence Fox. I can't say it upset me (to be honest it was so absurd it made me laugh very much at least to begin with) but it was obviously very upsetting...

Reign in the hyperbole a bit. You know it's an essentially flawed argument. The feminists have it right. 'Gender' is the problem, not the answer. There aren't hundreds of genders, there's none. We've invented them all to keep people - females mostly - in their place. What you're doing here is cemen...

PeterWilton

Thanks for the link. So gender is a social construct based on traditional stereotypes of what being masculine or feminine entails. It’s regressive and I can see why many feminists see it as misogynistic and damaging. Seems bizarre that this is the woke or progressive position to take. It seems like...

PeterWilton

Define sex and gender, then. The idea that people disagree with is the idea than a person with Y chromosomes is a woman if that person believes that person to be a woman. I don't need to define gender. The UK government already has a fairly good definition of it, which is based on the WHO's definit...

PeterWilton

And therein lies the problem. The question of "what is transphobia" is so nuanced that it depends on the technical difference in meaning between two words that mean almost the same. And the penalty for getting it "wrong" is to be pilloried on the court of public opinion as being the sort of person ...

PeterWilton

What is someone’s gender? If we’re discounting the scientific facts and placing gender over sex, then I’m genuinely curious to hear what a women is without reverting to regressive stereotypes. If a man wants to wear a dress, call himself Susan and put on make up that is of course absolutely fine. I...

PeterWilton

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the point of the trans people is that they genuinely believe there is no difference between what have traditionally been known as men and what have traditionally been known as women, and all this stuff about chromosomes is scientific fallacy. But I disagree. But if you point ...

The vast majority of people are transphobic. The vast, vast majority. The NHS maternity wards are riddled with it. Every time a baby is born, and the mother (sorry, parent who menstruates, or at least used to mestruate until 9 months ago) asks whether it's a boy or a girl, what is the only possible...

I’m not falling for anything, as I said it’s not new. But what is new is the power of social media to put pressure on people or organisations to act on perceived wrong doing.

Yes pal. Because thats the only example of cancel culture posted on this thread :roll: and not just a quick reply to your comment about JK Rowling.

There’s plenty of examples, Neil Oliver, the subject of another thread is one.

I think it’s actually a good example from Damo. Network Rail pulling a poster celebrating a successful female author because she carefully joined the debate around feminism and transphobia is pretty much what I consider to be ‘cancel culture’. If it’s not that, maybe someone can specify it more cle...

Excuse my ignorance on this but why do they take such risk leaving Europe and France to get the UK? What is it we have/offer that France don’t?

Genuine question.

They probably speak English and not French if they're trying to get here instead of France.

I think something that would help this discussion along would be if the opponent of this "cancel culture" could perhaps give examples of cancel culture in action that they feel supports their argument about how bad this supposed culture is.
