Yes, I, for one, would feel completely comfortable going to the person in charge of my employment and telling him that his brillant idea to hire modles to come to parties was not my favorite thing. I’m sure that would go over very well and I would suffer no single consequence for doing it.

“Sir, I know I am the only woman that works here, but it made me really uncomfortable when you hired a bunch of young, beautiful women to entertain the other employees at parties.”

To improve diversity...really.

I think the problem here is that everyone here seems to think “tired” means “deeply offensive to all womankind” rather than “an observation that has been around since before Caitlyn even officially came out.”

And probably also reminding everyone that Jenner killed someone and no one seems to give a shit. lol

Fair enough feeling, but accusing people of phobias is far too common these days.

“getting” egg-shelly? When it comes to comedy, Jez is all egg-shells thin skin and no sense of humour, all the time.

The study you linked me based its “findings” and “proofs” on a population size of 32 individuals.

And this is what is so dangerous about giving children hormone treatments and delaying their puberty. So much changes mentally from birth right through their teens. It would be mentally and physically devastating for a child to go through that without even being able to fully grasp their decisions.

If David Bowie was born today “parents” and “therapists” would have declared him a girl because he liked dresses and makeup and pink. The same thing would have happened to Freddie Mercury. We have far more regressive attitudes now than we did in the 70's.

But should little kids have to put up with this confusing nonsense, all in the name of their parents’ midlife crisis?

And yet, there have been no reported cases of a cisgender person being attacked in a public bathroom by someone who is transgender.

“In 2015, 23 transgender women were murdered in the U.S., and internationally, law enforcement and legal systems are failing them.”

I’m going to assume that you are talking about sex hormones and not, say, adrenaline or cortisol. The sex hormones (and the amount) that your body naturally produces are determined by, unsurprisingly, your sex. Ovaries and testes are sex organs.

I believe in giving children the freedom to explore and experiment and become who they were meant to be, not putting them in a box this early in life. If this child grows up to be female, or male, that is fine. As long as they are loved. But the original commentator made comments, later expanded upon, that indicated…

You’re talking about sex, not gender. Sex is real. Gender is a social construct.

Gender is not a real thing.

I have always had difficult accepting interest in the feminine or masculine clothing and toys as an indicator of gender. It seems to reduce girls and boys into a collection of characteristics defined by social interactions and socially accepted behaviours (pink, princess, beauty, dolls vs blue, knight, strong, action…

So upfront I’m going to say that this sucks and human beings all deserve equal protection under the law.

unless you’re riding with Caitlyn Jenner.
