I don’t know why it would be overwhelming, but that’s OK. I don’t think anyone has to memorize what each letter stands for or anything, LOL. I was just answering the question. It’s all good!

That's not really what I meant. Humans have been doing horrible things to each other for as long as there have been humans. Women have been treated pretty shittily too, but I can't say that I have experienced that personally, so I don't feel the need to tell people I 'belong to the female community' and get all 'offended-on-behalf-of' every other female on the planet. I had a lesbian great aunt. Lived with her partner for 40+ years. Both were extremely successful women. No one ever mentioned their lesbianism (is that a word?), least of all themselves, it was just obvious when they only had one bedroom lol. It was never mentioned, not out of 'kindness' but because no one actually GAVE A SHIT. It wasn't relevant to anything or anyone except themselves.

I don’t think you should feel like you have to be part of any community (many LGBT+ people don’t, many women don’t, etc.), so there’s no worries there.

That's good of you. I'm not in the US either. Women here didn't have to do much to get the vote at all. And most people actually don't 'give a shit'; they just don't like being told what/how to think, or having stock insults thrown at them to shut them up just because they don't follow the 'progressive manifesto' to a 't'. Just look at the shit JK Rowling gets for saying that men aren't women.

All this hatred is just another form of manipulation..
Here's a thread from another Forum..

Just two tools in the arsenal of the great distraction technique by which the elites redirect attention from their economic and social failings, to ensure that whilst ordinary people have something to bitch about between themselves they can continue to funnel wealth in an ever upwards trajectory.

Other tools include race, immigration, and other prejudices.

YES!

The little people are left to focus on and bicker over trivial BS while those in charge quietly increase their power. "Divide and rule" and "Bread and circuses" distracted people from skulduggery in high places for millennia. Even now, most people are too dim to notice that they are being played, like children mindlessly chasing baubles.

It's amusing to see that some men think that they are protecting women by attacking transpeople, while those same men support the recent Supreme Court abortion ruling that threatens the lives and wellbeing of many thousands of young American women living in red states. It's also funny to see those who probably can't catch a ball to save their lives developing this sudden passionate interest in women's sport.

Meanwhile, US democracy is being eroded with gerrymanders and a hyper-partisan Supreme Court that is supposed to act as a check on partisanship, effectively breaking down a cornerstone of US democracy. When US democracy fails, when Democrats are permanently locked out of power, China and Russia step into the power vacuum, putting pressure on all other democracies.

It's hard to think of a more obscure and trivial topic than sex changes, or weaker or more marginalised targets. It seems unrealistic to expect that people will stop falling for these divisive distractions in the foreseeable future, though. I have zero faith in human nature as it stands today. I do hold a fool's hope that, if humanity's survives the Holocene extinction event they are causing, it will finally be mature.

There are a lot of people here on this Forum and another I can mention that would do well to STFU and pay attention to how they are being manipulated.
It used to be "the Blacks" then it was the "Gays", now it seems to be "Trans", and it was not so long ago that it was "The Jews". All these things crop up like whack-a-mole, whilst behind the stall, off shore accounts of the rich and greedy are swelling with the money looted by taxation and selling off of national assets.

It's the thing about the symbol sets. He is convinced he is the world's cleverest or most special human being (but at least 3 people who believe they are that have posted here today) and he thinks that the use of the L, the G the B and probably most of all the + that are the true issue. He is obsessed with "binary recursion" and the intrusion of non-binary persons into his world would probably be most unwelcome.

I mean he probably doesn't like the gays much, people who spout about the Bible as much as he does usually don't.

There's only two letters of the alphabet he wants to talk about, those being I and Q.

Yeah, I gather some of that. I don't mind when people don't make very much sense or when struggling with any kind of mental illness. It's the utterly unnecessary belligerence that gets me.

With the instant combustion crazies there is no period of misrepresentation where you have to wonder if you are overinterpretting salmon pink as red flags. By now I assume you've worked out that Immanuel Can is also flat out crazy too, but he has the ability to appear superficially sane for a few days, whereas Age could only manage it for 2 or 3 posts.

Phil868967675675 was obviously some sort of psycho from day 1, post 1. But that makes him an honest, up front sort of psycho, his first post said that nobody ever enjoys a conversation with him. He meant those words. They ring very true.

I take you for a lot of things, but a conspiracy theorist wasn't one of them. Why is it that nowadays, when someone disagrees with you, then you are just being 'manipulated by the media'? I'm perfectly capable of thinking for myself. What is this 'media' that is 'manipulating' me? Who are these people? The nazis were master manipulators. Religious organisations are master manipulators. They both understood the power that manipulating children as early as possible has, and that it means they pretty much have them for life. Now, who else is doing this? Let me think...... Facts, science, and observation are what matter, i.e. the ability to think critically. Not what some self-important fuckwits in a ''progressive think tank'' in some ivory tower in 'academia' have come up with to justify their salaries. In this country, children, no matter what cultural background they have, are being forced to learn, by law, a stone-age language that no one speaks (or even wants to speak apart from a few virtue-signalling, self-flagellating, woke twits--and even then it's only carefully-rehearsed tokenisms) and died decades ago, and all to saisfy some bullshit corrupt agenda that involves a hell of a lot of money, faux white guilt over alleged 'wrongs' that have nothing to do with anyone alive today, and all perpetuated by so-called 'academics' from the safety of their garbage uni depts. that invariably end with the word 'studies'. The language has so few words that there are whole departments in the universities thinking up words that sound vaguely like the language but are in fact English words with a few 'tweaks'. The whole thing would be hilarious if it were not so manipulatively self-serving--and this at a time when literacy and numeracy standards are falling miserably.

I like delusion better.

It all started, when I was very young, and I unexpectedly got an inheritance, I actually inherited a tiny little country called Bation, I never heard of it, but there I was, I got my own nation. I did not even know there was anybody in the family that had one.

Then it suddenly dawned on me, now I had a lot of new responsibilities, I had to work hard, very hard, to become the Master of Bation.

When I got older, I noticed that there are actually two countries called Bation, one surrounded by a perceptible wilderness, and the other surrounded by an intelligible wilderness.

Now I inherited the very tiny country of Bation. The other Bation, on the other hand appeared to be a very large country. I don't mind, I mean, how many inherit a country of their own anyway? Well, to my surprise it came to pass that I was offered the very large country of Bation as well. I did not inherit it, however, so many people, the inhabitants of that country wanted to give it me. I don't know why, but even though my country of Bation, the one I inherited, was very small, it was still a handful and I just did not want the responsibilities of the other.

Now a country can have all kinds of governments, a solitary Monarch, as I was, or one can share the responsibilities with others, a socialist kind of Bation sharing and running that country. In other words a single Master of Bation, or a Social of Bation comprised of all kinds of combinations.
Now, how the much larger country of Bation functions, I don't know. Seems like everybody got it, I think they call it Democracy.

Now, unfortunately, every country has to have a gross national product to continue to exist and that really has to do with what type of government to choose. A single Monarch, leading the unity of a country, and become a leader in a single technology. But some believe in diversity, even though it makes no usable national product. So, no, I do not share authority of Bation and am wholly incapable of running that much larger country of Bation.

Now everyone, by birth, is a single performing circus, but, so many people, like crowds. To me, the mean is not the one, or the many, but simply two.

Don't you just love it when a clown you have on ignore writes you a long post, and you just read line one?

wow, you must be really hard up for attention, and very impoverished to make intrusion interesting and too lame to make it functional.

Using children as political tools is despicable and hands down the lowest form of politics.

But that implies, as the ability to use grammar systems is used to test mental age, that you agree with me with a trite quote, but wholly heatedly deny the biological fact, is measured by literacy, itself.
A trite phrase does not make an adult mind.
