What do you mean Maryland tried to do that? This goes far beyond “gender expression”. Most of us parents who now have teens and younger kids and see what’s going on…we all grew up in the 80s/90s. We are good with all different types of gender expression from what we saw on TV. Guys wearing dresses, wearing makeup, being androgynous? Yep - after seeing Bowie, Boy George and countless others on MTv with that style…we have no problem with guys wearing feminine styles. Same for girls wearing masculine styles. But those people never said they were girls. They never denied being men. And nobody had issue with their gender expression. Now - it’s making confused, vulnerable kids actually think they are the opposite gender. They can’t just present themself in the style of the opposite gender. It’s now filling their brains with that they really are the opposite gender. Putting them on hormones and doing irreparable harm to their bodies. It is filling the heads of vulnerable girls with such damaging thoughts. This goes way beyond gender expression. |
agree and have two gay family members who agree with the ruling. |
NP. Bizarre take, and not supported by rape statistics. This is wishful thinking, not reality. |
Ma’am we’re going to need some receipts for this claim. |
A compromise: allow our language to evolve to do away with gendered pronouns. Many languages don’t have gendered pronouns: Finnish, Estonian, Hungaria, Turkish, Chinese, Japanese, Bengali, Persian, and Armenian, etc.
Gender has lost its meaning anyway. One’s gender is no longer a polite way of denoting male or female and has evolved into something completely amorphous. Let’s still keep biological sexes, needed for medical purposes, do away with gendered pronouns, so that no one gets offended by being misgendered but also no one gets offended by being identified as their sex in appropriate circumstances. Intersex people can be just that or whatever is medically appropriate for that unique individual. |
Exactly. |
You lost me at this statement -- this gender ideology is not a made-up concept. And I don't know when this started to be a thing but that is where I draw the line. |
That's not an acceptable compromise. Gender has not lost its meaning. There are many Republicans AND Democrats AND Independents (OP is 100% wrong!) who believe what "gender" means. I do however, agree on keeping biological sex -- so here's a compromise..... Do away with "gender" and keep biological sex for everything -- male, female or intersex (M/F/I) should be the only biological sexes. You are either M, F, or I. No more of the silly "X" thing. |
What are you even talking about. We were the generation that also had Kate Moss as our standard of beauty. An actual heroin junkie. To replaced by the Bush era blonde bimbette in 5 inch heels. With a toxic culture to boot. We came of age when Matthew Sheperd was slaugtered. We grew up and killed Roe v Wade. Go back with a critical eye. Our culture was garbage. |
It started with anthropologists. People who study humans and cultures. They happened to observe all sorts of inbetweens in different cultures. Sorry that doesn’t jibe with your worldview, but the problem is you. |
I admire you stalwart, patient people debating with the mentally ill sexual deviants and deviancy advocates in this thread. I just vote against the LGBTQRSTUV agenda every chance I get and root them on as they stupidly and arrogantly take cases to SCOTUS that anyone sane can see they will lose. There's no reasoning with people whose entire reason for existing is to legitimize the illegitimate whims of sexually deviant, fetish-driven men--the most dangerous and predatory demographic in every society. |
DP. I have a Black friend originally from Africa living in the US and she told me that a lot of people would approach her and/or try to befriend her, assuming because she is Black, she would automatically be interested in DEI related events and causes. She always politely declined saying she was too busy or whatever excuse. In truth, the cause didn't speak to her lived experiences. She said then she was basically shunned by those groups. |
Check out the Isla Bryson and Kate White cases as just two examples. |
Should we also compromise with pedophiles, serial killers, and other members of dangerous subsets that no decent society should accept? The answer is no. No compromise. No letting malicious, covetous men and their handmaids continue to endanger women and groom children. No pretending we don't know exactly what gender you are under that ugly wig and hooker wear. Just no. After a 15-year descent into madness, society is done accommodating people who should've been locked up in asylums long ago. |
