Right now, it has put the whole world in jeopardy in its quest for world domination. America has made the same mistake as Hitler, when he believed that all that was necessary to conquer Russia was to kick its door down.

Re: humor and being ''WOKE''
I've read that people who are trans (or even culturally deviant to their surrounding society in any way) are often victims of prejudice, discrimination and sometimes the violence that results from distrust and scapegoating of others who don't fit the "correct" mold for their society. So, yes. I suspect there is more violence enacted toward the culturally deviant than to "normal" members of society. Do I think we should be performing massive reconfigurations of their bodies and biological chemistry in order to accommodate a child's experience growing up "different" from others around him or her? No. Should we promote toleration and diversity among people (so long as they aren't malicious)? Yes.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Sun Jun 18, 2023 1:20 pmI thought you were brighter than this.

More than to women? Give me a break. And it's hardly 'genocide' ffs. No one has ever said that they can't dress up as they want to, call themselves whatever they want to.

Everyone has the same rights under the law. That certainly wasn't always the case with gay men but it has been for some time. What are the 'rights' that so-called 'transpersons' are 'fighting for'? Most of them are straight men for fuck sake. They have NEVER said. It's all histrionics and buzzterms.

I'm not part of the "trans-movement". I haven't met many trans people, at least not held substantial conversations with any, so I can't say if the "movement" is "infiltrated" by "autogynephiles, homophobes, incels, misogynists and paedophiles. To be honest, I can't think of why "misogynists" would adopt the gender that they (I would assume from the label) despise. If someone assume the identity of someone else, it's usually the case from my experience that they adopt the identity that they admire for whatever reason. (And when I say, "admire" I'm not talking about people dressing as a female in order to infiltrate the ladies' room because they lust after women). There are those too. But, no. Opening the ladies' room to males who "identify" as female, is unfortunately not realistic for societies that don't want to minimize instances of rape or other violence against women.

Re: humor and being ''WOKE''
Not 'admire'; want to control and intimidate and essentially supplant and erase. You really don't have a clue about this. As a man it doesn't affect you anyway, unless you decide that you 'are' a woman because you think you have a better chance of getting with a lesbian (that's A LOT more common than you think).Gary Childress wrote: ↑Sun Jun 18, 2023 1:51 pmHomosexual males are victims of violence quite often.

Re: humor and being ''WOKE''
I don't know. I live in Florida. We have a governor who is a member of the US Republican Party. Where I live, work and travel, men are not allowed in women's restrooms. I'm fine with that. It sounds like insanity to me to open women's restrooms up to sexually confused males or visa versa. Maybe a separate private restroom labeled "Universal" could be created to accommodate anyone who doesn't want to do their business in the restroom assigned to them. That makes the most sense to me. Do I despise the "woke"? No. They're human beings too and for whatever reason are struggling with their social surroundings.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Sun Jun 18, 2023 1:56 pmNot 'admire', want to control and intimidate.

If you don't let a man who identifies as a woman into the Women's Restroom, then you are discriminating against trans. You're not recognizing their identity. You're committing trans genocide.
