I said that a trans woman would be stronger than me, because I’m a biological woman. So they asked how I would define a woman, and I said that my classification of a woman is somebody who is born with a vagina and the ability to menstruate.

Transgenderism is a mental illness, full stop, end of story. People suffering from it should be clinically treated with compassion, not enabled to the point where those of us not suffering from mental illness are forced to live in their abnormal world.

Where the fuck is President Trump so there’s some one to attack rather than splatter journalism into a new low…

Key word: compassion, the same compassion we’d have for a guy with a broken leg. There is no more shame in having a mental illness than there is for having a broken leg.
Pusillanimity is everywhere you look today.
Yup. I knew there would be trouble when it was removed from the DSM. (version V?)
Put another way: https://youtu.be/88DZhwKqHM4?t=46
People with gender dysphoria should not be treated like they’re normal, and it’s time we stopped. This shit disappears instantly as a result.
Exactly! Most PhD psychologists and psychiatrists have not had enough thorough training today in human biology, statistics and the scientific method for studying human behaviour. The DSM is now garbage.
Absolute truth, it was classified by the American psychiatrist society as a mental illness they were forced to reverse that descision by the lefties
“I could have said the sky was blue and they would have attacked me.” Exactly. These people are miserable, insufferable sadists whose sole mission is to tear others down. This philosophy builds nothing; it is absolutely destructive. And the only way to stop it is to stand up to it, strongly/resolutely. My new mantra in the face of this garbage is “How about ‘eff you’?”
However, transistors have two junctions, and they may be PNP or NPN.

Ah, so that’s why we have male and female connectors.
Then, in the piping business, we have stopcocks, butt welds, and pipe nipples….

All this hubbub in recent years makes me really, really, really wish that I had genitals myself.
Humph.
the world has become a monty python skit. no punch line to tell you it was a joke or has ended. I want to be called Loretta
Indeed … “Burn her! She’s a witch!”
… but I cannot be a man, so to speak.
“Well … we did make the nose”
Tie her to a large rock and throw her in the ocean. If she sinks and drowns then clearly she is woke enough. If she survives, she is a bigot and must be canceled.
Follow the science!
cal2, I agree with you. But worse than that, I suspect the world has become a Benny Hill skit. It’s far too stupid to be something from the Goon Show.

Neddie Seagoon or Eccles would do a better job of running this country than Prinz Dummkopf or Error O’Foole.
I used to listen to The Goon Show when the Alberta radio station CKUA used to run it on Saturday nights many years ago.
Eventually Spike got cancelled too. Too many jokes about Pakistanis that normal Britons found too funny, told by someone who had grown up in India, spoke Urdu, and actually knew something about the place.

LOB is one of the funniest parodies ever written.
It was apparently a favourite among seminary students at one time.
No,
Monty Python was funny.
This is about as funny as the chinese cultural revolution.

I wish Blackie would come out as “transparent.”
Beauty! 🙂
Hilarious! Also, I would like to see a non-wig reveal. “Suddenly, it is cool to be over 45 and have a bald spot, just like dad”. Aging in place and all …
Oh, but he would lose the hair vote …
…and yet they have the gall to refer to US as “science deniers”.
Yes .., we deny THEIR science. Hint: I wouldn’t fly in an airliner designed to follow THEIR science.
Nor would they!
I can understand the confusion.
In Ottawa, I frequently meet people who have presumably functional male genitalia and secondary sexual characteristic.
To find anyone resembling a man, you’re best off going to the States or to Israel. They’re very thin on the ground here.
Yup. Even my wife shakes her head and laughs when she sees a CTV Ottawa “man on the street” news interview.
Why does ANYONE watch any TV news??
I would rather watch paint dry. Get more accomplishment out of that than some overpaid over made up TV person spouting garbage.
That’s what I’ve been telling the wife. Can’t stomach the sickening puppets.
But to be fair to her, the “man on the street” interviews are a lot funnier than tv comedy shows.
A number of months ago, maybe even years, I read that the classification of gender, and even the word, originated from the 50s era to provide data as to which genre (gender) a human hermaphrodite leans – male or female. I didn’t dive into the origination much more than finding an reasonable and convincing history of the word and stopping there. Just thought that’s interesting info but I can’t say it’s not in error.
12th century, from Old French, from Latin.
Sometime in the early part of the last century the word “sex” got verbized, which made older people from the Victorian Era squeamish, so the younger people started using the word “gender” in its place as a noun, to mock the euphemisms and sensibilities of the older folk.
It was in the 50s that gender theory developed around the word. For how that all went down your search term is “John Money”.
Abertay university is located in Dundee, Scotland.
Someone on another related thread asked what has happened to the Scots?
Ever since The Act of Union (1707) the best Scots have left Scotland and spread around the world.
We left in 1967 and nothing has changed except Scotland now has by far more overdose deaths per capita than the rest of Europe. All the old problems remain and only getting worse.

Did all the best emigrate? Mine arrived 1816-1840 in Canada, some during “the volcanic year with no summer”. They got an axe, maybe a few rations and if they did something useful on the assigned property, they got title. They could all read and write somewhat, thanks to Presbyterian schools and made sure that they found good teachers for their many offspring.

I just grind my teeth in those times I either watch network news or even read the National Post. Both of them bought into the continuing mental illness of singer Demi Lovato today. Lovato has declared herself to be they/them which makes no sense whatsoever within context of the English language .
Yet at every opportunity to refer to Lovato as ‘she’ or ‘her’, they substituted ‘they’ and ‘them’. Linguistically speaking, not too different from professing that vaginas belong to everyone.
Lovato has a history of mental illness and addiction. I also suspect that as a ‘mature’ woman in a highly youth oriented and competitive field, she’s needing a publicity boost and something to make herself relatable to a confused Gen Z.
