I still disagree.

transgender:
denoting or relating to a person whose sense of personal identity and gender does not correspond with their birth sex.


Saying a man whose sense of personal identity is that they are a woman is not in fact a woman does not deny how they feel about it.

We are going to disagree on this but I'm not prohibiting the conversation because I'm insisting I am right and you are wrong. In many ways I'd rather we had the debate but so far can see no way of doing that while preventing it becoming highly objectionable.

Making the effort to avoid offense to transgender people while discussing it was the other option.

Maybe they dont want your "help" and don't think they have the issues you give them.

The problem with the PC rule, which I was very critical of, is it was incredibly unclear. This is not unclear however, just the opposite.

You cannot express bigotry. This includes referring to black people as ******s, referring to Jewish people as *****, and referring to transgender women as dudes in dresses, or "women" wink wink.

Saying a view is highly objectionable pretty much implies it is wrong.

One of these things is not like the others.

While we're at it, there's really no such thing as Islamophobia or Homophobia either.

Is someone running around going "Ack, I irrationally fear gay people!"?

I mean, should we also condemn Hinduphobia and Christianphobia as well?

Suffix[edit]
-phobia
1. Used to form nouns meaning fear of a specific thing.
2. Used to form nouns meaning hate, dislike, contempt, or repression of a specific thing.


idiot

-phobia
combining form
suffix: -phobia
extreme or irrational fear or dislike of a specified thing or group.

****ing moron.

Just because your biases want to change definitions doesn't mean we all have to buy into your collectivist bull****.

If you don't like lobster, do you have Crustaceanphobia?

The **** are you talking about? People have been using -phobia in that way for a long ****ing time man, I'm not changing the definition of anything.

Does every multiple definition word piss you off?

By your logic:

If you dislike lobster, do you have Crustaceanphobia?

Ok, so we can't call them "women", but can we call them women?

How about women?

JiggyBias minding the English language. Dictionary arguing sucks.

If you made a point to disparage lobsters when they came up in conversation for no particular reason, probably.

Bottom-dwelling angle-shooters turning to definitions and technicalities in an attempt to preserve their ability to communicate bigotry.

JiggyMac how do you feel about the word "run"?

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/run?s=t

**** those *********** who think run means "to depart quickly; take to flight; flee or escape". The only true definition is "to go quickly by moving the legs more rapidly than at a walk and in such a manner that for an instant in each step all or both feet are off the ground."

I will not abide this postmodernist bull****!

Does someone do that?

"Lovely weather we're having, it would be better if there were no Muslims around.""

What planet do you live on?

Your non-sequitur must mean you concede that -phobia doesn't mean to just dislike something.

I mean, I might even concede that there are people who are Xenophobic. But Islamaphobic? Give me a break...

The term was invented:
https://newrepublic.com/article/8117...n-islamophobia

"At the end of the 1970s, Iranian fundamentalists invented the term "Islamophobia" formed in analogy to "xenophobia". The aim of this word was to declare Islam inviolate. Whoever crosses this border is deemed a racist. This term, which is worthy of totalitarian propaganda, is deliberately unspecific about whether it refers to a religion, a belief system or its faithful adherents around the world."

But, if you are so easily swayed by Iranian propaganda, more power to you.

Muslim immigrants are targets of association with criminality narratives and policy- 'be afraid they will try to **** your wife cucks' level of impressing PHear into OBeyIA.

Plenty of Americans have an irrational fear of sharia law and Islam taking over America.

Nothing like that is acceptable. (I will get to the offending post(s) later)

Did they have that fear when the Iranians invented it in the 70s?

Nothing to do with my point.

Everything to do you with your point.

ZiggyWhacKed ya.
