President Trump - Page 448 - Politics version 7.0 -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Your arguing about something which is beyond your actual scope to observe because it is a different individual than you. So your argument rests upon imagining a social construct where you tell people what and who they are based solely on what you can only imagine and never directly observe.

If we concluded that in fact transgenderism gave off dangerous levels of ionizing radiation, would you concur with chaining them together at the bottom of the ocean?

That's clearly a social construct which proves everything is nothing because leftists.

I don't think this is true. For example, earlier in this conversation I linked this article.

"Social construction", of course, is also a relevant concept, albeit a much-misunderstood one. But, I understand saying that transgender only exists under the umbrella of social construction to be a denial that there is any biological basis to being transgender. That is very likely false.

Sex/Gender is a biological fact, TG is more akin to a condition of some sort.

I did not claim that it implied that there is an entirely different sex/gender. However, I would point out that I think you have a problem in your understanding of the relationship between conceptual categories (sex/gender) and biology. But that's not relevant to the point I was making. I only claimed that there is a biological basis to being transgender.

My understanding is that the post I quoted was arguing exactly what you think it is not arguing. Perhaps I'm wrong, but that's what it implies to me.

I readily admit this **** all the time. Im not a member of the Republican party, and I lean conservative in my politics because I see a trend of ever increasing political dominance by the far left, which is really dangerous for both the reason that it leads to less freedom for their opponents and it will spurn a violent right wing reaction---neither of which I want. I can't speak for you but I HOPE you would feel the same way, though I doubt you do certainly about the former.

Good point, the far left GOP does control every branch of government.

I think we need more William in this thread. He has nuanced, research, and well thought out views. Jiggy is getting old because I don't think he legitimately believes his posts.

William is a true beta cuck and we need more!!

Has anyone figured out why it's ok for a grown ass man accused of raping a 13 year old named donnie to go into teenage girls changing rooms but not TG women.

Jiggy is just trying to hone his skills in hopes of future employment in the Trumplandia National Ministry of Propaganda, perhaps one day heading up the gaslighting or cyber trolling division.

Still waiting for any logical reasoning as to why transgendered persons shouldn't be in the military and what negative they pose if they are. The only support for this move I see is from Trumpers who go along with whatever he does, RWNJ talking heads and article writers from garbage like Breitbart or The Federalist, or people with "Constitutional Conservative" (read:bigot) in their social media header.

Culturally, leftists are in the majority. Even conservatism has shunted left in the last 70 years, to a great degree.

Just because you say something doesn't make it so either.

A reminder of the ironic cockiness of 'but a dick is a dick' is all in the eye of the conservative genitalia beholder.

Who put you in charge of what is possible and what others know?

You claim it's possible that a born male can know what it's like to be a female, so I ask you the same question. Who put you in charge? How is it even possible? Just because someone claims something doesn't mean it's true.

For example I dunno if you're religious or not but you'd probably think someone claiming they've had a direct experience of God is either delusional or lying, yet I bet you don't make the same argument for them.
