Itshotinvegas: I didn’t know transgender people don’t like it. I won’t keep doing it. I am a decent human who can handle the bare minimum standards of decency.

Thread: Ok!

People don't like being called racist. You are not a decent human, because you wont stop calling people racist. Agreed?

Please stop comparing the transgender community to racists. That is very offensive.

I'm not comparing them. I'm pointing out that becasue people don't like something, is not a good reason to stop doing it, and it has nothing to do with lack of human decency, to which you accused me of.

You've walked right into this, and you've betrayed your entire reasoning for me to stop using the word, and it's exposed that your motives have nothing to do with respect for people who don't like certain words. That principal, is not a principal. Your righteous indignation, and principled argument has been shown to be based on bullshit.

Please stop using racists in your analogy to transgender people. It is very offensive.

Please stop ignoring context in order to assert an immoral one, it's incredibly offensive. You walk into your own cogitative dissonance quite often, huh?

This is just annoying now. Itshot said he wasn't going to use the term intentionally to refer to trans people. Lets move on.

Why not just say no and let it go then?

I know what my objective is. Not sure about yours at this point.

Because, I might make a grammatical mistake, or use it in the context you've used it in....I do value integrity. It's possible I don't make a mistake, and never use it as an example, and never use it again. I don't answer questions with invalid premises, or answer questions that could go either way, which I've been trying to explain to you...you just repeat yourself.

Excellent. Now that this rather unnecessarily pedantic point has been made, we're done.

Cool!

Now about James Younger..

Looks like the save James websites are DOA

After all this I have some SERIOUS doubts the intention was not pejorative.

I have serious doubts anyone who responded to me actually cares about the issue affecting the 7 year old, because my post(s) prior to that hissy fit from others about -ed, was entirely about that issue. Especially, when the argument they have is "we should let the 7 year old do what it wants", in respect to an issue that is far too complex for the kid to understand. Not to mention, the former fearless leader, trivialized gender, as nothing more than marking who has a vagina, or not.

I don't think the kid would have any idea what either side was talking about, and would gravitate to something more interesting, like toys. If you want to talk about what this kid deserves from his parents, and the court system, how bout you speak up, instead of expressing righteous indignation over something trivial, and will not impact that kid, at all?

I mean, if you want to play moral police, defend or attack the the people who want to let the kid do what they want, in respect to this issue, that by most accounts is extremely complex, and they will never really understand until they get older.

Show your moral superiority...

Even if the Op's story was becoming rampant, which it ain't, I don't see the reason to get too flustered about it. Worst case is that you'll become surrounded by castrated men.

Too utilitarian. I believe how parents handle this stuff can be tantamount to child abuse. Going extreme one way, or the other. It's already at the extreme stage due to this kid, someday, is going to find out the parents fought over their gender, during the custody fight.

I read this and immediately burst into laughter. I had wanted to say how it could be the solution to Kelhus' concerns.

In the 2 days known of your existence all you've done is aggressively insult people. I guess as long as it isn't for reasons that you deem to be unacceptable though your conscience is clean, right?

You're cut of the exact same cloth as a religious zealot and had you been born into a different environment you'd be just as passionately railing against an equally inconsequential transgression of virtue. Not because you've given any real thought as to the impact of it, and in fact you probably find it offensive to even try to quantify the damage. As long as you get to feel like a good person that's all that counts.


Let us now have a moment of silence for the children in the developing world whose lives could have been saved had we invested the time/effort arguing over something so petty on the internet into making money to buy malaria nets and gruel reserves.

I don’t think Luckbox is learning impaired or played football in school or maybe was deprived of oxygen for too long at some point in his life, so I’d expect him to be able to grasp a simple concept such as avoiding language that is tangibly harmful to an innocent person. I at least give him that much credit.

abbadabba, where was I born?

I mean, I know for sure *when* I was born and it wasn’t yesterday, but I’d love to hear what you know of my personal history given the two days you’ve known of my existence! How exciting!!

Lol at this thread getting to 3 pages.

Whole lot of fearmongering about non existent chemical castration and surgeries.

If you are unwilling to engage, you should not spam over, and over. So far, the only contribution to this thread has been that a 7 year old should be able to do whatever they want, and you get pissed at somebody using the word with an -ed, then you spam the same question, as if you're some moral authority on something, but apparently not bright enough to realize the question was answered 15 question before you asked it for the 16th time.

You don't want to share your motives and rationales, don't be surprised when people start speculating.

I’m bright enough that it wouldn’t take someone telling me a hundred times that a word is offensive for me to stop using it...

Rethinking whether I’m pro castration in certain instances...

Not quite, you're not going to stop calling people racist. In case you weren't aware, I'm making an reductio ad absurdum. It's not an analogy.
