--- I'll try to stick to first version.


That is not what I mean by 'change their gender'. I am not specifically referring to surgery. I am referring to all tg's in the sense that they are...

I have argued that the very act of being tg is a sign that someone suffers from gender dysphoria. They clearly felt compelled to change their gender in order to meet their own perception which...

So, if a person who drink and drives kills a person, from your logic, that person may not be tried for murder. Murder is the willful act of killing another person. However, the driver, by drinking...

And I provided the exact criteria to determine when discomfort/distress is reached via the most commonly used diagnostic manual in the field of psychology.


No, I am using logic to deduce from tg...

You've sort of tacked on progressive to liberal and defined them as roughly equivalent. However, you acknowledge that progressive activcists are more extreme than progressives, although, aren't all...

More unique? I don't follow.

"For those who believe in “free speech”: whose free speech do you believe in?"...

In my opinion, it is progressives who are most forcefully pushing the current PC conversation. It is progressives who are generally pushing cancel culture onto people with thoughts and expressions...

Your interpretation of the definition you provided is poor. If someone is of the strong belief that they are the wrong gender, then that is a sign of discomfort. There needn't be a specific or...

Do all progressives believe in socialism? In trans-gender rights? How do you determine you are a progressive if you cannot define it? I have my opinion of what a progressive is, but clearly our...

You kind of misinterpret the NHS definition I think. There is a diagnostic list that defines someone with GD. ...

But, how do you define progressive? A car has wheels and tires and seats and there's a steering wheel... those don't define what a car is. I cannot argue whether or not you are right about PC and...

I think modern PC is largely a left phenomenon. If we went back to the early 80's and prior, it was the right that was censoring books and limiting speech. The pendulum has certainly swung though. ...

I see this thread has morphed into more of a general tg conversation. That's cool. Here is my question on gender and tg'ism in general.

First, let me try to state what I believe are facts.
1....

So, I think those advocating for MW, the average guy, not the activist, just want some sense of security. I bit of predictability. I don't think it is outrageous for a single person working...

If I feel you are being insincere, I am gonna call you on it. If you tell me it is just a miscommunication, I'll respond accordingly.


You cannot say what is really happening. I supported why...

If you are telling me it is a miscommunication issue, so be it.


Whether you feel it is or is not supported is unimportant. It is the condition I've set for my argument. Whether you find it...

When I discuss smells, this is what I mean. I have quoted the OP twice and explained exactly how I was framing my argument. Now, if you'd like me to argue something else on a different point, you...

So... this was bait. :hmm:

I KNOW Chinese people are racists. However, Chinatown in L.A. probably had less to do with racism from the Chinese and self-segregation than actual segregation. I can...

What you believe, but if it smells, it smells.


I did support this. I quoted from the OP where it specifically states when discussing menstruation.... Any inferences you are making beyond this...

Again, you'd have to be more specific. Who were these people? What were they specifically responding to when they moved? The scenario you are laying out actually does strike me as a bit racist. ...

Mican, your whole response reeks of a bit of insincerity. I was addressing the OP and was pretty clear from my first post that I was interpreting the OP to suggest whether transgenderism in general,...

First, I feel like I am being baited. However, I don't really care so I'll answer it. Sometimes. I think without looking at a specific instance or case at a specific time, it is impossible to say.

When you are studying and expected to learn the course materially whether the information is ON the test or merely may be on the test is irrelevant. Again, you are playing semantics.[/FONT][/COLOR]...

Now that we are done washing each other's balls... :)


No. They have a business tab. Yes, business news is part of the news, but it is not usually on the home page. Whether it deserves to be...

If you really want to play semantics, have fun. I'd have figured you understood the point which is that students would be motivated to learn and support whatever the teacher was teaching in the...

First, nuclear energy was intended as an example. I am not making an argument over specific energy policy. What I can say is that while 34 reactors have been shut down, only 2 are scheduled to be...

You make some good arguments. However, the CNN business section isn't the front page. It isn't the home page for its website. Most readers would never even find that story. It stands to reason...

Not sure it is exactly the exception. I cannot prove it is the norm per se. Just wondering, did anyone get fired? You say it was widely condemned, but I'm not sure the word widely is correct. It...

Yes, I understand what they believe is the BEST position. However, we are discussing politics and why wouldn't politicians truly interested in improving the planet (which is their stated goal),...

It is the default position that anything a teacher teaches may be tested. It would be your burden to explain how this is incorrect. Obviously, the exact questions on a test are not predictable, but...
