My GOD! The sh*t coming out of Howard Stern’s mouth @ 12:32. A true media whore. —– Mark Dice: Jerry…
dover, I had that post that was moderated last week and before you released it, I could see it in…
Very strange that it would be visible while waiting for moderation.
How could anyone reply to a comment that was pending? today I saw at least one comment in the OT…
Gilas, I would have gone to Nilk’s Discord but had no end of difficulty getting onto it. Adam’s is fairly “peaceful” if that’s what you want. Strident discussion and disagreement is absent for a couple of reasons.
I don’t mind the odd skirmish – if it doesn’t add to my understanding of an issue, it certainly adds to my understanding of the commenter!
And there it is. The worst thing about trans rights for people like Kneel is that they can’t join in a good old fashioned community lynching. Creepy.
I haven’t assumed anything. If you call them ‘sad buggers’ its because you have implied they believe they can do something they can’t. That is what you’ve communicated with your own words. Your moral obligation here is not to stop them doing something dumb, it’s to establish a law in accordance to reality.
Also, Gilas, you will find Currency Lad’s blog an excellent source of articles and opinion. Look in the side bar here ->

MT at 3.47 pm:
Yes. It is sinister and that is why I give no truck to the fag/trans activists. I view them an an enemy. They want us to submit to their ideals. This little black duck will not be capitulating to any such demands.
Why is it hateful or bigoted to want women’s spaces (loos, change rooms) reserved for women? And women only? This was once such a reasonable “given” that no one thought about it much at all. It is now some sort of pathetic progressive battleground.
If you raise this issue with anyone on the land (at least in our experience) – they are just staggered that norms have changed so much. This reinforces my opinion that the trans movement has arisen in city enclaves.
I am not saying that “trans”inclined individuals do not exist in regional areas. What I am saying is that “diversity” has not simply prospered in the inner suburbs of cities, it has taken hold there in a big way. And like a contagion, it is spreading into the suburbs – and perhaps one day into the regions.
At the risk of being howled down – I will venture that it seems to me just another symptom of a decaying value system in the West. Disintegration just seems to be gathering pace.
Of course, these developments are often cyclical – and recoveries are possible, though mostly after a catastrophic “detox”. Can’t help but think current times resemble the latter part of the 1920s. Deep recession /Depression on the way….followed by another world war?????
No. I’ve never managed that last part.
Of all the weirdos I’ve dragged out of the sheilas dunny, only one has ever objected. Funny about that.
The admirable Andrea Widburg at The American Thinker mourns the destruction of her childhood neighbourhood in San Franscisco:
When I first visited San Francisco in the late 1970s I was blown away by it. Small and beautiful, gorgeous architecture, wonderful food and entertainment, clean and safe. Turning it into a shithole is a crime against civilisation. People shooting up and crapping and vomiting on the street, police being defunded, what could possibly go wrong?
Fortunately for them, the architects of the decline live in heavily secured and fortified multi-million dollar homes. See, Pelosi, Nancy and any number of rich Democrats.
It’s like the Taliban blowing up those ancient rockface carvings. Same mentality.
Oh, well. You get it.
Sigh.
[Fixed.]
Emphasis on enclaves. For as discussed here last night, hard-core trannyism & blokes stripping in front of schoolgirls has yet to ‘catch on’ in Lakemba & presumably lotsa other places inside the metropolitan taxi zone.
Real honest question. It’s funny and really dumb for idiots asking that different pronouns be used to reference “they”. 🙂
I’m just curious as what happens with this pronoun bullshit in languages like French, Italian and Spanish for instance where there is feminine and masculine? Has it caught on, as it would create some really weird language crap.
That is very weak as a foundation for policy, gay marriage is a reality. You can call the law some unreal abomination before god and the fabric of space – time, but SSM existed briefly before Howard got rid of it and before the dubious SSM plebiscite. Tens of thousands SSM spousal couples exist now.
Now what?
This philosophical approach is part of why conservatives might be rock ribbed but continually concede ground. That’s not a personal slight against you, it is a problem that has existed since at least the UK Labor Party initiated the welfare state.
IMHO the Taliban are aware of “cause & effect” & are able to comprehend in advance the actual outcome of their actions.
Thus alongside London Breed the Taliban are as a Rhodes Scholar alongside a Water Buffalo.
Oh God.

I’m shocked and chagrined. I thought the modern and efficient APS/NSW PS with underpaid and hard working paleo banana bread consoomers would have knocked this one out of the dealership.
No sweat Lysander. I don’t get out much, never go to big events, crowds annoy me too much. So I can’t relate to the public presence that you mention. I’m not a parent, can’t relate to your concern. There is a narcissistic element in publicly demanding acknowledgement of one’s sexual predilections. There are many people with unusual traits. For example, I don’t see mathematicians, the IQ of which is typically 140+, walking around with that emblazoned on their shirts. I’ve known 3 mathematically brilliant friends and most people would have no idea about their brilliance because they don’t broadcast it. There are also sorts of unusual people in this world and most of them live their daily lives without making a big deal about their idiosyncrasies. I don’t like playing Dr. Freud but the public displays, the narcissism, the demand for recognition of their idiosyncrasies, points to narcissism, and a deep, possibly unconscious insecurity arising from the fact that they don’t feel right and will never feel right.
See what you’ve done! You’ve made me breach one of my heuristics! Playing Dr. Freud! Damn you, damn you to hell!
Have a nice day.
Quite bizarre to move on from telling someone off for seemingly being a sexual predator and an actual lynching monty.

Conservationism has no core beliefs other than to slowdown progressives and only slowing them down. I can’t understand why conservatives here are surprised that the conservative right is always playing halvies with left-wing policy views. It’s always, always setting things up to fail. That’s what conservationism is and has always been.
Hayek, about conservatives.
Eggfreakingsactly. As the left becomes more extreme, conservatives eventually give in for the simply reason of trying to play the middle course, which never works. The left drgas them along for the ride, whining and bitching all the way.
Yep, just slowing it down.
And then we wonder why conservatives offer just piecemeal nonsense.
Conservatives here are upset because the Liberal party doesn’t have guiding prici0ples. Of course it doesn’t because as Hayek said:
Much more here:
https://www.econlib.org/hayek-was-not-a-conservative-heres-why/
Don’t be a thoughtless conservative, grip classic liberalism with every limb and run with it.
No it isn’t. We would just need to go down the line with those that did avail themselves of legal ‘marriage’ and grandfather those arrangements that would deal justly with them re issues relating to property, etc. and withdraw the rest. That would be a prudent response to that problem.

Along that spectrum of liquids is Hydrofluoric Acid. The craze of throwing buckets of water at coppers doing their job hasn’t died out.
The issue is that the first bucket contains water, same as with the second, third, and fourth. The fifth contains acid of any kind, but the threat was made of using hydroflouric acid which is not amenable to normal first aid treatment.
The whole throwing of liquids is to set up the belief that the liquids are harmless and the victim doesn’t react until the damage is done.
For my money, the person who throws any liquid at another should be treated as a deadly threat with the person throwing the liquid able to be stopped by using deadly force.
I definitely believe that women have a right to female only spaces, and not just to those which deal with decency and modesty.
I also definitely believe that men have a right to male only spaces, to clubs, men’s sheds and men only wards in hospital.
Perhaps it’s Karma that women, (who in the 70’s, started all this divisiveness by demanding not only equality, but superiority over males,) are suffering intrusion into their spaces by deluded men who demand to be treated as women. But even more ludicrous are the men and women who violently support this debacle, and the Montys who support them.
I never felt the need in the 70’s to be liberated: I’d been treated kindly and very fairly all my life. In 2023, I, along with millions of my sex, feel more threatened, hated and diminished than ever before.

Cheers for the fix of the format of my comment, Dover. Appreciated.
I’m out this evening so won’t provide the long rebuttal that Hayek deserves on Why I’m not a Conservative (I think Hayek on conservatism deserves its own thread anyway so I’ll leave it to latter this week) but my impression of this essay is of a desperate attempt to distinguish right-liberalism from conservatism for left-liberals as well as right-liberalism from left-liberalism for conservatives. Moreover, the claim that “the truth must lie somewhere between the extremes—with the result that they have shifted their position every time a more extreme movement appeared on either wing” is typical of right-liberals on any number of cultural and social issues, such that the claim that ‘conservatives’ are guilty of it sounds like misidentifying as conservatives the ‘right-liberals’ that have dominated right politics since the Second World War.

Aren’t the Greens just poison.
The Greens have secured a bloody-minded victory over Labor that will impose high costs on energy producers and the economy in a way that does not apply to our international competitors.
The deal makes a value judgment that fossil fuel emissions cannot be offset by other measures. And it applies a new bureaucratic and legal stranglehold on all future developments that will make it all but impossible for them to proceed.

“Digital Blackface”: The New Woke Leftoid Meme Just Dropped

Women’s right to female only spaces.
How ironic to see this worm turn. As far as I can recall, all men have been hearing from women that it’s sexist and hateful to have men-only clubs and associations, to the point where laws have been passed to sanction this terrible thing. There are equality laws about the workplace, and family law has been turned into an anti-male hate fest.
Trannies now want to invade female-only spaces. Heaven forbid.
I says, women should fight this for themselves.

This is why I can’t alie with the old guard feminist as some have done, Delta. They built the totem poll thinking they will always be on top. They started the demonisation of masculinity. This should not be forgotten.
It’s been a while since the last one.
Perhaps it’s Karma that women, (who in the 70’s, started all this divisiveness by demanding not only equality, but superiority over males,)
Strawman.
Radical feminists were behind the division in the Seventies, they’re creating division again.
Read your Daily Mail link above.
The fake hysteria about Trannys in Womens prisons is being pushed by WOLF, the Womens Liberation Front.
It’s the same people, with the same, tired old story.
It causes agony in gendered languages – particularly when the pronoun has to agree with adjectives as well as nouns.
The French are sweating creating new non-gendered pronouns (last I heard ‘ile’, or ‘illi’) because Frog has no equivalent of neuter ‘they’ – but the knock on language complications remain because the noun/adjective/article choice is still gendered.
French wokesters will be identifiable by speaking rubbish, or a language all of their own.
A bit like English wokesters, really.
“Trannies now want to invade female-only spaces. Heaven forbid.
I says, women should fight this for themselves.”
I understand your ire JC, and this is where feminism, particularly second and third wave man hating feminism, must shoulder a lot of the blame for this. However, most women don’t deserve this condemnation, most women have never wanted to invade men only spaces and most women don’t hate men. I love men. When I went to the Let Women Speak rally here in Sydney, where there was no violence because the NSW police surprisingly did their job, I was comforted by the fact that many women came with their husbands and boyfriends.
Huh?
North Sydney is held by a Teal, not a Berejiklian, and Paul Fletcher is a total dope and waste of space who’s done nothing of note since inheriting Bradfield from Brendan Nelson 15 years ago.

According to Mr Hayek all we did was fast forward the same capitulation by the Libs within 5-10 years.
Though I do agree, the Libs are useless at staking out any position as “the hill to die on”.
If Howard had reversed the Mabo legislation (remember, there was no judgement over the mainland, only one section of the Torres Straight until Keating legislated it as Australia wide).
No rivers of munni, no uni whiteant departments of grievance gurus and Aboriginals would have been the same as everyone else.
Now we are faced with race based aristocracy and the insatiable call for more and more munni to preserve a portion of the population in squalor to justify it.
Imagine that – the fundamental proposition of land tenure became something done and dusted never to be revisited.
I understand your ire JC, and this is where feminism, particularly second and third wave man hating feminism, must shoulder a lot of the blame for this.

As soon as Monty said he was okay with men being excluded from women’s sport he admitted he was himself a TERF and fully engaged in those Old Blighty imported culture wars.
I liked MarkA’s stuff. Thanks for the link.
My view on the other site is this – if you have a contributor with a thread dedicated to heaping scorn on people who are pretty much on your side, but with a couple of differences of either approach or opinion or if you simply don’t “like” them, you have a real problem. A problem of smallness that will never be cured.
It smacks of this.
It was a useful bridge when Old Cat was sunk.

Well done and kudos to Peta Credlin who read portions of Moira Deeming’s statement to the Victorian Liberal hovel, defending herself against Pesutto’s (or should that be Pussuto’s) attack against her based on a Wiki. entry, FFS. As Credlin said, 9 months suspension of Deeming leads into Christmas and she doubts Pussuto will still be Liberal leader by then.
Nats take note. Do you want to be in coalition with this sick bucket of a party?
Looking at Moira Deeming’s Wiki page [which has only existed since last friday, despite her being elected last November, and had already had 50 revisions, but only 26 today, so far.]
No real personal info, not even a DOB, husband, who her parents are.
It reads like a Labor Party bio.
She is a serial candidate, though, Wiki says Scotty M hisself told the Victorian Liberals to find another candidate for Gorton last May.
I’d say she’s a Labor plant, may have used the Liz Truss method once or twice to get preferment.

Oh look – its one of these right wing troublemakers fighting a culture war…
The State Library of New South Wales’s state librarian and chief executive has signalled he will retire, amid staff unrest over senior management and the acquisition of a controversial painting of Country Liberal senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price.
Dr John Vallance, who served as principal of the prestigious Sydney Grammar School for almost two decades before the Liberal government appointed him to one of the state’s most senior public service positions, told library staff in an email dated 14 February that he would leave “sometime in July or August” to concentrate “on my own work”.
The email also said his interim position as acting CEO of Museums of History, the new flagship cultural institution created by the Perrottet government, was concluding in June “and there is no plan to extend that”.
“Contrary to one rumour I have heard, I do not wish to ‘jump ship’,” Vallance wrote in the email.
Staff at the State Library of NSW told the Guardian that the atmosphere in the 197-year-old institution has been fraught recently, particularly over the library’s decision to buy a portrait of Price painted by the Australian’s chief cartoonist Johannes Leak.
Several staff members, including some First Nations employees, allegedly told Vallance they were offended by the decision to buy the portrait of the Northern Territory senator, which a library spokesperson confirmed to the Guardian had cost $20,000.
Price, a Warlpiri/Celtic woman who is a conservative Country Liberal senator for the Northern Territory calls herself “unafraid to call it like it is”, and is a vocal critic of the Indigenous voice to parliament
….
The spokesperson did not confirm or deny that Vallance had told staff the painting would not be displayed to the public when asked by the Guardian, but said that members of the public could request to view it by signing up for a special collections card and making an appointment.

I love this metaphor. It was on the new ‘is this a Jussie Smollet?’ thread on Youtube, the one looking at the sobbing trannie in the loo at JFK airport. Maybe caught out on the security Xray machine, he was noted going into the female toilets, followed in by black female security guards, and claims to have been punched in his female balls by one of these guards. There is doubt that it ever happened of course.
I don’t condone punching anyone’s balls, female ones or otherwise. But if a true story, JFK Diversity Department is in a world of pain too. Does a trannie in the loo trump firing a black female security guard?

Last week I did a day’s training in Mental Health First Aid.
I thought it would be complete PC cack.
Given the time available it was quite good; stress, anxiety, depression, suicidality, difficult conversations, refer to doctor or someone with expertise.
The trainer talked about various pejoratives in the past tense, and ‘thank heavens those aren’t used now’. She included Mong. I said no, thats right now. When we have mong-features over there calling Mong a mong, I would feel like a real mong if I let that through to the keeper.
I think she probably works in the sector…

Eva Vlaardingerbroek is what used to be known as the type bishops would throw a rock through a stained-glass window for, and she’s as brainy as she’s beautiful. I immediately asked her to marry me, but she agreed to an engagement first—“as we have plenty of time.” (I’m glad she thinks so.)
I would hazard to say the Cafe crested pigeons are more intelligent than Democrats. They know where their food comes from, they are grateful, and they come running if they see me at the front gate. Literally – it’s fun to see two or three of them going as fast as they can up my driveway.
On matters of sensitivity, following on from my comment on what Tomcats here know to be a very sensitive part of male-to-female anatomy, I really do wish that the ‘sensitivity’ readers would lay off old treasures like Agatha Christie and Enid Blyton.
The class, race, ethnicity and gender expressions found in the authentic albeit outmoded language of their day is part of the charm of reading into another world and its old-fashioned ways. The attitudes as written are integral to the plots and situations, giving integrity to the characters and thus enabling the readers’ suspension of critique or even disbelief.
If they did this to P.G. Wodehouse there would be nothing left of his artful creations.
And the literary world would be so much the poorer for that.
Wasn’t Vito Capilano the capo dei capi of the La Miele crime family in New York?

Gaols are probably also a subject in which I would agree with you lot given the amount of violence that goes on there as a matter of course. As for the rest, nup, existing laws on assault can cover that.
But that’s not really what this is all about, is it? Many Cats in this thread have stated that it is really about denying that trans people exist. They want to classify it as a mental illness and/or crime, to purge trans people from society. It is not about protecting women at all. It is about bullying and persecuting a minority.

Brings a smile to my face picturing it, Bruce. 🙂
Yesterday, peering into the pit dug into the shell of a house left next door, I noticed one of our fledgies sitting on the scaffolding, proudly holding a wiggling insect in its beak. He/she was trying to kill it with little bashes on the metal and I held my breath for I could see disaster looming, as it did. The fledgie dropped the insect and flew down into the mud and rocks below desperately searching for the lost treasure. No luck. All disappeared and one very disappointed bird with a lesson learned.
An insect in the beak is ok eaten wriggling. It is, after all, what their mum used to poke down their throats in the nest.
She lost me when she did that interview (puff piece) in which she admitted to spending time during her youth in Europe listening to Madonna songs.

What’s your position on this?
Trans peope have always existed, I said that and we here know that. They were rare, seen as brave by many, and accepted if they existed in their chosen gender without palava.. In the male-to-female category, Jan Morris, the travel writer who was once John Morris, is a case in point that many here would remember. So is Catherine McGregor in the Australian Defense Forces, who clearly states that in her new gender she is not a true woman, just more comfortable living as a woman. Kelly-Jay Keen, aka Posie Parker, would agree with that choice, reserving the title of woman to a born woman and the rest as a form of play-acting which should not take place in women-only spaces.
With the present widespread social encouragement of transgenderism as some sort of unevidenced biological imperative it is quite reasonable to see it a social contagion, a form of disordered mental processes, especially when offered to susceptible young people. When it is a parade of male genitals in female spaces it is a crime known as exhibitionism, or worse. When it takes over female sporting achievements, it is a crime known as fraud.

As for the rest, nup, existing laws on assault can cover that.
A rather casual attitude to the possibility of sexual assault in changing rooms and toilets. Are you always this relaxed about such things?
But that’s not really what this is all about, is it? Many Cats in this thread have stated that it is really about denying that trans people exist. They want to classify it as a mental illness and/or crime, to purge trans people from society. It is not about protecting women at all. It is about bullying and persecuting a minority.
Direct quotes and links, your reliability in such matters is not high.
And now that Lieborals are a minority, kindly cease your bullying and persecution of them. Poor Matt Kean is already suffering enough.
PS, you really are an idiot.
Actually I used to work with a transgender, didn’t transition until after a successful career as a male, then bald and beer bellied he reappeared in the wig, the Fletcher Jones skirts, pantihose, heels, twinset, pearls, pancake and lippy.
Obviously had a thing for projecting an image of a mature woman circa 1967.
Perfectly normal.
Had the surgery. Still made me very uncomfortable if spotted in the ladies.
Hasn’t changed from last time we discussed it. It hasn’t come to insurrection yet.
Bollocks, Lizzie.
Calling them mentally ill or denying their identity with snide remarks as other Cats are doing is just bigotry, plain and simple. You don’t have to like them, but you shouldn’t persecute them either.
You generally seem like a nice person, Lizzie, but I think you are being unusually impolite on this one.
I’m not particularly concerned about assault in change rooms but male bodies in a supposed to be female space.
That is clearly unfair and unreasonable for modest girls and women.
Lol
Calling them mentally ill is a prerequisite for getting onto the hormones you useless bag of lard.
Persecution.
Would that be not allowing them to compete in female sports, access women’s refuges, change rooms etc?
Refuse to have sexual relationships with them?
They seem to be the demands being made.
Nobody here has denied that blokes who believe they’re ‘really’ women exist, and vice versa. Nobody here has called it a crime. Most of us think it’s a mental illness; just as we’d think that a bloke who believed he was ‘really’ Napoleon had a mental illness.
If your brain is telling you something which is false, you have a mental illness. It’s happened to me several times. In each case a woman was involved, and my brain told me that she was the most beautiful, kind, generous, sexy and intelligent woman in the world. In each case it took around two years for sanity to return, whereupon I realised that although a pleasant enough lass, she was not outstandingly so.
I can understand why mother nature should befuddle my brain with hormones to make me temporarily insane, while I don’t understand why the old bat should make someone think he’s Napoleon, nor someone else think he’s a woman. But in all cases, the poor victim is transparently off his chump. In my case, while under the influence I made absurd promises which no sane man would ever make, and in one case it led to babies. Which is why mother nature sent me off my chump, no doubt. Why make a bloke believe he’s a woman I have no idea. But he isn’t a new kind of human being who automatically gets pandered to, he’s just a bloke who’s brain is lying to him. That is, a bloke with a mental illness. We should be kind to him, and try to discourage his delusion, although it probably wouldn’t work. I don’t suppose I’d have paid much attention if someone had taken me aside and told me the ladies concerned were amiable but fairly commonplace. Certainly, encouraging the delusion can have very bad effects, and is not recommended.
You surely don’t believe what you say here. But then, you’re a postmodernist who doesn’t believe in anything. Except power, and being fashionable in an already obsolete way.
“Calling them mentally ill or denying their identity with snide remarks as other Cats are doing is just bigotry, plain and simple. You don’t have to like them, but you shouldn’t persecute them either.”
Bollocks pervert apologist, saying that they’re not women and saying that they can’t enter women’s safe spaces IS NOT persecution. Most of these MEN have a mental illness, or they’re fetishists or they have a condition called autogynephilia, which means that they get erections by donning women’s attire.
They need psychological and psychiatric help. My God you’re a disgrace.
Does your wife know you’re a pervert apologist?
“Refuse to have sexual relationships with them?”
Indeed. Perhaps the pervert apologist can show the way in this regard.

Why was it the right decision?
Me: If they are wrong in that instance why are they not wrong when it comes to female only spaces such as refuges, gaols, and change rooms.
Monty: Gaols are probably also a subject in which I would agree with you lot given the amount of violence that goes on there as a matter of course. As for the rest, nup, existing laws on assault can cover that.
So, sport and gaols are now understandable places to remain fully female. Thank you, Monty, for conceding that in a rights argument someone has to lose out.
While you haven’t as yet spelt out exactly why your position aligns with a number of commenters here, I would suggest that you can see that in both instances the female, being physically weaker, is being put at a major disadvantage.
In the case of sport, despite training and dedication to the highest level possible, against someone born male and remaining male until after puberty, that female would have no chance of success, ever.
And in incarceration; every one of the people housed in those places has committed a crime – some very serious, violent crimes – including the transgender person. That puts at risk the inmates. The duty of care the prison authorities have to the inmates should be enough to acknowledge the risk to female prisoners.
Now, what about female refuges and change rooms? FYI, when I go to the beach, the toilets include a section, which must first be passed through, where females strip in front of others into their swimmers and return to shower and change. Those facilities are used by mothers and children as well. Would you be happy for a male to enter such a place and undress in front of those females because they claim transgender status?
Monty:
But that’s not really what this is all about, is it? Many Cats in this thread have stated that it is really about denying that trans people exist. They want to classify it as a mental illness and/or crime, to purge trans people from society. It is not about protecting women at all. It is about bullying and persecuting a minority.
Are you now bullying and persecuting transgenders because you have accepted that in certain settings there is actual risk to females from transgender people, requiring females to have special consideration of female only places?
Many cultures have recognised a variety of genders. The Talmud recognizes gender diversity. If I were so inclined reading about how those individuals were\are treated in different cultures might be instructive.
I wonder if they argued over which bushes trans could use as toilets.
There are interesting correlates to your argument regarding social contagion:
The explosion in anxiety and depression is partly due to people being scripted.
Intern syndrome with doctors and psychologists.
The explosion in ADD and ASD diagnoses when those conditions became trendy.
UFO sightings are rare now.
Mass psychosis\delusion.
The famous Asch conformity experiments.
Urging others to stand (or fall if necessary) from the couch.

Johannes Leak has inherited a precious talent – the ability to capture a personality in an artwork.
Like his father before him, it can be in oils or pen and ink or watercolour or even a mix of drawing and computer. He could probably do it in fibre should the fit take him. It’s remarkable.
Every parent wants their child to exhibit their very best. For Bill, Johannes has done just that.
Some facts:
A lot of them ARE mentally ill and vulnerable, particularly the children.
Many kids who are forced to wait for gender reassignment find out they are simply gay and had body dismorphia as they didn’t consider they were gay – they don’t have gender reassignment and are happier for it.
People who undergo gender reassignment tend to decline in terms of mental health and suicide.
A lot of the abuses of transgender rights aren’t even genuine, they’re just cynical perverts – re male rapists in female prisons or “Jessica” Yaniv’s parent free trans teen pool party. I mean come on dude.
I don’t have to call anyone anything I don’t want to unless they have something I want, I am in court or the military. Criminalising someone’s belief that trans people aren’t legit is stupid. Even if it is legitimate there are so many frauds and attention grabbing sociopaths. Are you REALLY going to make people go before a tribunal for not calling a hairy armed and legged, 5 o clock shadow man in a dress without bottom surgery, a “woman”?
For the people who are intersex or genuinely have body dismorphia, I feel sorry for them. They are cases where gender reassignment may be the most appropriate care, but it should wait until they are adults. It is truly irreversible and sterilises the person.
If the genuine cases were not swamped with things like the perverts in prison or Jessica Yaniv, the medically justifiable cases would get a lot more respect and compassion.
They are unlikely to be attention grabbing sociopaths.
They may feel they have a right to use their new gender bathroom, but since they are genuine and would like their privacy respected, perhaps third bathrooms are a good compromise.
We should look at if there is any cause to a rising rate in intersex or body dismorphia if the upward trend exists at all. Is there an environmental factor we are missing?
If I call a man I don’t respect a woman or a girl, should I go to the ADB/ADC as well?
Basically it goes down to criminalising name calling. This is not a legitimate public concern. Why is it illegal to “dead name” someone but not call them a F^%$wit, a danger to children or others, or themselves, mild defamation, incompetent, dumb or useless, a SINK, too fat to get remarried or a used up old slut?
What a rampant waste of taxes the public worked hard to earn and pay.
Too early for Macquarie word of the year?
Most detransitioners reveal they had mental illnesses which were misdiagnosed as gender dysphoria.
I hope those who are mentally ill get the help they need. Many do not.
