Damn, it's a satirical site. I should have checked. Just I thought there was a link to it somewhere where it was seriously proposed. Sorry. RE: Transexuals

For me this shows just how delusional Drich is. That news site may have been satirical but religious fervour really does match many of the criteria for a mental illness. The fantasy land that Drich inhabits causes him distress. It's not based on any personal experience or evidence but rather a work of fiction. The irony is that someone as delusional as Drich is ranting about a minority that has to go through more self introspection and therapy than he will ever do in his lifetime. After all, a key feature of sanity is knowing exactly why you think and feel the way you do and having some control over it.

Same crap said about transgendered now was said about gays, and before that interracial marriage and blacks and women. It is not persecution to include. I was actually joking. RE: Transexuals

Sounds like a LOT of overcompensation to me. Just saying

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie (April 14, 2016 at 12:29 pm)Catholic_Lady Wrote:(April 14, 2016 at 2:12 am)Mathilda Wrote: People who identify with a different species (if there are any, I doubt there are) do not have matching brain scans. Yes but does it matter? So it's a disorder. A disorder of what? The brain or the body? The transsexual has a perfectly functioning body, and a perfectly functioning brain. It's a disorder of the matching between the two. Surely that's what transsexuals have been arguing all along. Just using the term disorder in a way that suggests that it is a mental disorder is equivocation. You can either try to change the brain or you can try to change the body. The medical profession tried to change the former and it did not work and long hard experience and many ruined lives later on has shown that the only effective treatment is to change the body.
And is it just too much to ask that you recognise them as the gender they want to be?
People kick up such a massive fuss over petty shit like pronouns. "Oh I want want to call him a woman because...!!!" Is it really that big an ask. Look I don't care, I don't give a shit if I can still clearly see you were born XY from a mile away, I'll call you "she" if that's what you want. Not because of science, not because of "a condition", but just on principle that that's what you want and I'm not a stubborn asshole.

No, I'll call them whatever they want me to call them. I don't care.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
