They're also moving to burbs, not Seattle.


In my area, it’s mostly southern and mid-west transplants

Isn’t there a poster in here that’s pretty open about being trans? Former military officer? Or am I making that up?


Yes to the former

quote:

That's really debatable at best. Just say something one finds offensive and you're likely to be swarmed by a mob of them unironically claiming to be the victims


You can find that on either side of the spectrum and with every generation. But I’ve found Gen Z to be pretty awesome

You mean the nutjobs that are screaming at people for not kowtowing to their whims about xenogenders and being animals and ridiculous pronouns? No, they demand that the entire world acquiesce to their delusions or else they are bigoted, racist, sexist, whatever-phobic. Young progs are the most authoritarian generation yet. It’s disturbing.


You must have glossed over my earlier posts in this thread

You must not have or be familiar with any HS age kids.


I have two teenagers out of High School and a spouse who’s a HS teacher

But nowadays they’d have labeled me as some sort of mentally ill something sexual. They pump kids with hormones, convince them they were born wrong, promote body mutilation, etc. It’s insane.


These are tourists staring at a punk in 1984. Tourists. In L.A. gawking at people different from them.



Kids today are much more live and let live than any of us Gen-Xr’s were
quote:

Can I ask you a serious question?


Sure.

The label thing is definitely a recent trend, but probably no different than when kids were goths, or nerds, punks, jocks, dweebies, dickheads, motorheads, etc. guys wore letter jackets and girls wore their boyfriend’s letter jackets. Now that there is much more interaction and inclusivity in places like high school, to stand out means you slap on a label and that’s their way of being special. Just my .02

Dude, I have more hobbies than you can shake a stick at. Scale models, Gundam, 40K, Battletech, HO trains, Restoring old RC cars, but things like Ballet and music, and building miniature houses. I camp a lot, buy records, hang with family and friends, and am much more than just “trans” in my real life, and that’s how I live it.

My opinion is that It’s not inherently a sexuality but an identity. Because we are trying to be who we are inside, as our core selves and being. The sexuality component is part of us, just like anyone else here on the OT. I mean, everyone who is actually trans, their sexuality could run the gamut of completely asexual, homo, hetero, bi, pan, I.e. it would completely differ. No different than any kink an OT’r would have. Who I am, and who I want to bonk are completely separate things.

Just some rambling

Good luck When the people you are dealing with unironically complain about the exclusionary nature of your definition you won't make any progress. The definition of the word definition requires being exclusionary. If a word doesn't exclude some concepts, things, or people from a meaning then a definition lacks meaning.


Thanks. There’s a push to use the original verbiage and definitions from decades ago, and I use it to define myself. I think a lot of people are who feel similar.

The thing is, that the trenders will spew all sorts of “smash the binary” garbage, then ride the coat tails of actual transsexuals to have some sort of legitimacy. Makes me want to yank my hair out.

As someone who once voted Republican, The same could be said of the GOP and the MAGA turds. But that’s another conversation for another day.

quote:

Because many trans activists say the genitalia are not relevant. This is why we are having weird language games about basic terminology. For example people refusing to say pregnant woman and saying birthing person. The first reaction is to ignore the nonsense but some of the activists have massively upped the importance of paying attention. If they control media or legal definitions and can plausibly define your (formerly unchallenged and still commonly agreed upon) definitions as discriminatory it matters immensely


Many of us in our own community are trying to fix this. Because non-binary trenders are hijacking the community, they are trying to change definitions to the disapproval of us who are traditional transsexuals so they can fit under this umbrella that we get lumped under. It’s frustrating

So transvestite, not transgender.... But they allowed him access to girls anyway. Either way, these actions by a sick person and the progressives that are leading our schools should shock no one.


He wasn't either.

He was nothing but a disgusting predator that knew he could circumvent the rules by donning JUST a skirt and sneaking in.
quote:

The boy put on a skirt and was allowed in the girl's locker room where he, well.... Sounds to me like he used a nice loophole provided to him, no?


This POS (kid), did exploit that loophole, and the school board did a piss poor job all around. I’m not disagreeing with that fact. He wasn’t trans though.
quote:

The part where we have a common definition of trans. Or woman. Or man.


It’s gotten a bit stupid with a lot of terminally online catgender xeno-terds and the x-is a construct bs. I would agree with this. The original DSM/scientific/medical definitions have been hijacked by theyfabs and other bullshite.
quote:

What game are we playing right now? What do you even mean by trans if the words man and woman have no objective definition? Does it imply moving to another region with a different set of social constructions?


What part of my post did you not completely understand?
quote:

Yes, I think that is what Upgrayyed is referring to. Democrats are sick. Imagine having your daughter raped by a tranny, the "leadership" at your school covers it up (with the help of a compliant media), then your frustration gets painted as some form of "white supremacy" and another narrative is used to have you viewed as the enemy. Democrats and their voters literally have no shame.


The kid wasn’t trans. This has been covered multiple times, in multiple threads.

Doesn't the lesbian and gay part cover the queer? Isn't that redundant?


Queer covers the gender-non conforming aspect. Which can include non-binary folks but not always (hell, even I don’t know sometimes)

The entire acronym is getting a bit much. I understand it’s trying to include the groups that are marginalized into one entire giant umbrella as a unified front for the purposes of rights and protections, but as time goes on and many of those right have come to fruition, it started to splinter.
“Trans” woman named Brian….

Admittedly, I know nothing of you two. But, when discussing "high horses" we aren't really discussing you specifically, are we? And, you really aren't taking the stance of "Yeah, that would be the case normally, and I can see how you'd say that, but our situation is unique" are you? In fact, you've done the opposite.


Nope. You don’t know shite.

I’m taking the stance of laughing at you as you try and concoct this little deathbed family tirade fantasy you keep droning on about. It’s actually sort of fascinating to see you come up with your warped frame of dysfunctional family references. Me thinks it’s because it’s the only thing you know.

Not lying to your wife about being homosexual for 20 years isn't that high of a horse, dude.
