I choose not to believe you. I also choose to believe you couldn’t give a stuff about women’s rights and that you just hate trans people. 30 or so years ago you would have hated gay people too, but that’s not really an acceptable opinion to express nowadays, so trans folk serve as a handy proxy for your bigotry, which can be dressed up in a cloak of “concern for women’s rights”.android wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 6:11 pmGreenmile you are funny but predictable.
It's very much about the women, as I said at the outset.
I do not agree to your demands. Can't have DA going on their feeds and calling these women hateful bigots (lol).
You are quite wrong, but no worries if you choose not to believe me and you are free to rant about lack of evidence or whatever.
What have I said that is not true?Lancasterclaret wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 6:20 pmI've no idea about that

And the echo chamber comment is pointless - You are from the right, which is fine, but you are repeating stuff that isn't true, which is not

Seriously Greenmile, your mind reading skills are even worse than DAs. Just so far wide of the mark. Absolute nonsense.

But it is true so you are the one making things up. Just because I don't play your game of providing a dossier of evidence does not mean that I am in the habit of making stuff up.

Therefore they are not Nazi’s. Nazi as you know is a specific term coined by Churchill for Germany, not the others fascists around at the time like Franco and Mussolini.

The views may be extremist, fascist or even totalitarian but ‘Nazi’ that is a specific signifier. Therefore its general use for Far Right is wrong: never a good starting point in any argument that want to be taken seriously.

For balance I think Musk is very dangerous, in many ways.
Although - the thing as you put it - is also that you required no evidence to falsely accuse me of stating something that is untrue. I do not wish to name individual women who are not in the public eye and receive enough dogs abuse as it is. Anyway, lean as you wish.

Its not a game, its just a simple way to sort out those who are interested in actual stuff, and those that made their minds up long ago and just don't care
Which way do you think I'm leaning at the moment?
I'm just not interested in talking to people who don't provide evidence for what they clearly very strongly believe, because there are a lot in life that do that, and its such a complete waste of time for them and me
I think what elwa is misconstruing is that to try and liken modern events be it the Tory govt or Covid lockdowns etc to the events that happened in Nazi Germany is wrong and totally disrespectful to the horrific events that took place.Lancasterclaret wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 8:02 pmNot saying at all that Musk is a Nazi!
What on earth gave you that idea?
Falange, Fascist, Nazi - there are essentially very similar organisations, with very similar outlooks
If you aren't allowed to go an actual Arizona Nazi (one who has an actual nazi flag in his bedroom) a Nazi then I think that is bordering on the semantics side of an argument, which is also a terrible starting point for any argument that wants to be taken seriously!

You do realise that we can see what you post on here right? So the evidence of you stating something that is untrue, is all the untrue things you have posted - I’ve been kind enough to compile a list for you above, some of which may be slightly tongue in cheek, but there’s plenty enough evidence there to prove you have made untrue statements.android wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 8:05 pmAlthough - the thing as you put it - is also that you required no evidence to falsely accuse me of stating something that is untrue.

I can’t say I care for any kind of Far right politics, be it disguised as fascism or communism. I presume if they identify as Neo- Nazi’s they are as bright as I have always found them to be when I was a SHARP (Skinhead Against Racial Prejudice) in th 80’s and 90’s. Calling them Nazi’s is giving them far too much credit.Greenmile wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 8:02 pmNobody has called Musk a Nazi (on here).

How do you feel about self-styled Neo-Nazis? Is that ok with you, or is it whatever the opposite of “stolen valour” might be?
As I have met some of the senior people at the LGB Alliance, I feel duty bound to respond to this nonsense. They are very nice people and don't hate anyone. DA's description is too ludicrous for words really.Devils_Advocate wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 6:07 pmI haven't met anyone from the LGB Alliance but Ive read and seen enough of them to see that their whole purpose is to attack the Trans community rather than support the LGB community. Their links to alt right groups in the US and to right wing religious groups who want to ban gay marriage and think woman are better off in the home says it all.
Again the LGB Alliance are based in and amongst the kind of right wing groups that have a history for attacking both Womens and Trans rights but you think they are on their side
The LGB Alliance is perfect for you as I think you are exactly the kind of person who they are meant to appeal to
Your talking about me emphasising but I haven't stated anything that suggests that I dont emphasise with women. My concern is groups like the LGB Alliance are using womens suffering as a front to attack trans people and in doing so are aligning themselves and working with groups who do not support either Womens or Lesbians rights.android wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 8:27 pmAs I have met some of the senior people at the LGB Alliance, I feel duty bound to respond to this nonsense.

One of the founders was heartbroken to leave Stonewall. She begged them for several years to listen to the other side of the argument and at least have a debate but to no avail. Stonewall were determined to go down the route of replacing same-sex attraction with same-gender attraction and redefining the definition of homosexuality (or preferably avoiding use of this word at all where possible). We are talking about lesbians who are old enough to have lived through the era of men telling them all they needed was the right man to sort them out and of course they had some genuine fears about ceding their spaces to males attracted to women but identifying as lesbians. The other big issue was the trend to medicalise children from a young age before they really know who they are and the teaching of "born in the wrong body" to gender non-conforming kids who often grow up to be gay if left to work things out over time.
The idea that people who had to campaign to be accepted in the 70s wanted to reinvent the wheel and campaign for their rights all over again is for the birds. I am sure they would rather be doing something else.
If you really cannot find it in your heart to empathise with these women I really do not know what to say to you.

You're the one who started insulting me but as Ive said Ive provided a video thats shows a whole host of links between the womens rights movement (and some of the people you've previously referenced to me) and groups who actually oppose womens rights and who have a record of homophobia and racism to bootandroid wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 9:13 pmDA - the image you have invented of me in your head does indeed sound like a horrible person. Fortunately it has nothing to do with me.
If you had a stronger argument maybe you would not need to invent the idea that I hate trans people or I don't care about women's rights or child safeguarding. It's a very strange thing to do but much easier than engaging with the issues I suppose. And Greenmile loves it and copies it!
Like last time, after throwing around a lot of insults and make believe you finally engage a little bit in your penultimate paragraph. But as I said it is very much the anti women's rights activists who have been pursuing "no debate" not the good people of LGB Alliance.
Anyway, enough I think. If you wish to have an honest debate about these issues sometime in the future, I would be interested, but you would have to drop the daft habit of falsely representing my views and just debate the actual issues.
Still not addressed Allison's Bailleys comments on working with racists and homophobes or explained Bev Turners support of the anti-trans, homophobic and anti womens rights Heritage Foundation. Nor have you addressed how the LGB Alliance comes to be based in 55 Tufton St alongside the right wing hate groups.android wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 10:00 pmThere is a difference between pointing out that the stuff you have said about LGB Alliance is nonsense/rubbish and saying that the reason you are saying it is that you hate lesbians.

I'll reply more fully when I get chance but it was Bev Jackson (not Bev Turner) who I meant who you have referenced before and who has worked and supported the Heritage Foundation who advocate against womens birth control rights and against same sex marriage and equal rights for same sex couples.android wrote: ↑Tue Dec 20, 2022 10:23 amIf you think about it for a minute, how likely is it that the black lesbian lawyer Allison Bailey, who has spent much of her life campaigning against racism and homophobia, is actually in thrall to racists and homophobes? By the way, it was good that she won her discrimination case against her Stonewall inspired chambers and was awarded aggravated damages. They victimised her due to her expressing her knowledge about the reality of sex.
I do not know who Bev Turner is or what her role at LGB Alliance is so I cannot help you there.

The fact that you frame this as a trans debate is revealing in itself. There is a very good reason why you and so many people know little of the women’s rights debate. It is because it adversely impacts women and girls and has no direct impact on men.Lancasterclaret wrote: ↑Tue Dec 20, 2022 10:35 amI think you need to read your own replies mate before getting on that high horse!
I don't know anything about the trans-debate that you, DA and Greenmile are involved in, and to be honest (short of having a nagging feeling that its being fuelled by people who have no interests in either) its not something that I know enough about (or to be honest, want to know about) to comment on
