    Canada is going to prosecute people in the US? And Is Peterson in prison?

    Crikey this is more serious than I was giving credit for. Unless you're taking a single piece of legislation from Canada and applying it to another country. Then you're just going out of your way to create a Conspiracy theory. Which is it?

    Who said anything about the US?

    This is Canada. If you've any interest take your time to watch the video or google it yourself. It's not a conspiracy theory, legislation has passed in Canada, you can lose your job and go to prison for using "wrong speech".

    Google.

    If you think terminology is always a trivial matter which should never get anyone worked up, I assume you would agree that consequently there was no justification for this renaming exercice in the first place?

    I accept that terms change, names change. Absolutely nothing to worry about. I wouldn't have advocated for the change and I wouldn't care if it changes.

    Nothing funny about it, men having babies is quite a similar torturous experience just like when women have babies.

    Read the link, the first man to have a baby as in 2008. 21st century stuff.

    I think the miss understanding, is that most men spend their life trying to get back into a womb:D

    Whats funny is you believing a man can have a baby.
    Its biologically impossible.

    I'm sorry to break this to you but that's a woman. Just because a woman takes massive doses of hormones it doesn't make her a man. She can feel like one, people can call her a man but it's not a man.

    If I ate hay and lived in a stable from now on I wouldn't be a horse in 10 years.

    That man has a womb and had the baby, of course men and women are different in some areas but that number is narrowing.

    That is not a man.
    Men do not have uterii.
    That person has a uterus and is therefore not a man.

    I can not make it any more clear.

    Ah I see where you're going wrong. The manholes issue is taking place in the US, not Canada.

    The argument has been made repeatedly that the state is Compelling people to use the new terms and will sanction people who don't do it. I think we've established that Canada won't be enforcing this in the US. This manholes story is a bit of a non issue, isn't it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 598 ✭✭✭slipperyox


    Ok I'll answer my own question...

    A manhole is round, so that it cannot fall into the hole it covers...

    Men have been popping out babies since about 11 years now, biologically possible.

    I agree totally. It's a non issue because nobody is being compelled to use this speech...so far. Precedent is there though in Canada showing things like this could be made into law. That's where the references to 1984 come in. This story is just clickbait as far as I can see BUT it is in Berkley...one search of that place will make your head spin.

    Id say he'll laugh in my face in fairness:D

    So according to you a woman is not a woman unless they have an uterus? Hope you told all the women who have no uterii that they are not women based on your conclusions.

    Yeah its all well and good until you call some woman who identifies as a man the wrong pronoun and you find yourself with no job or in prison. Google this for yourself and see what's happening in Canada.

    New to me.. But from what I've googled this is inaccurate. Do you have links you could share of someone going to prison. Thanks man

    I said men do not have uterii.
    I made no comment on what women do or do not have.

    I really did make that quite clear.

    So snowflakes in California get offended by gender words no matter what they ****ing refer to.

    It's quite simple and quite ludicrous that you don't understand. They are masculine people who have bravely took on the role of giving birth.

    Good progress.
    Not men having babies,masculine women.

    Deal with the state compelling people to say things when they actually happen. Picking worst case scenarios from around the world and pretending they're ubiquitous, is really silly.

    That's what this thread has been about all along. Imagining victim hood and sharing the delusion among the group

    It was an attribute of masculinity to describe those men who give birth.

    This is closer to being correct, masculine women. Biologically they are female because they have reproductive organs.

    I suppose it is brave considering the stigma that comes with having an outward male shell but making the decision to get pregnant.

    If they were really male though they would opt out from giving birth as its not something we can naturally do.

    No it was a feeble attempt to backtrack from your hilarious idea that men can have babies.
    Men cant have babies,women can,trans men can but actual real biological men cant.

    Nope, you've been backtracking yourself from insulting men with language like that they cannot give birth which itself not exclusive to women.

    A donkey with a party hat on its head will never be a unicorn, even if some kinds of people think it can be.

    A man, complete, intact, whole, doesn't have the reproductive organs to bear a child. If a person can in fact conceive/carry/give birth to a child, they are not a man, not in the biological sense of the word which as far as I'm concerned is the only one that matters in this particular line of discussion.

    Dress whatever way you like. Call yourself what you like. But don't try to argue that the common and accurate linguistic terminology as it refers to human biology is adaptable and flexible in the way some fools would like it to be.

    We all know that when it comes to human reproduction, only women have babies and men simply can't. There are no exceptions to this clear-cut biological fact. None.

    Thankfully, there are very few people who are stupid enough to think that men can carry children.

    More PC bollocks. Who’s actually offended by the term manhole, nobody, that’s who.

    How does a male give birth to a baby? Does the baby come out of the tip of his penis or his arsehole?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,447 ✭✭✭Calhoun



    The bit in that article about the trans woman with male genitals wanting to help teens insert tampons is quite disturbing .

    I hope to God it's not true because it reads like a sexual predator abusing their sexuality to get close to kids and abuse women.

    Surely the concept of holes in the ground having to be named after a gender, is a social construct?

    I can't for the life of me see why an access hatch in the ground has to be named after a gender. Strange convention really, but the opposition to it is really Interesting.

    I was quoting your post with regard to how to describe pregnant women who work for someone, as opposed to the issue in the OP. The manhole thing I'm fairly ambivalent about. But the vast majority of the public do not subscribe to the idea that gender and sex are distinct concepts, and things like this are essentially ramming that ideology down everyones' throats without a proper public debate about it.

    In the minds of the vast, vast, vast majority of the public, a person who can get pregnant is by definition a woman, and a man by definition cannot get pregnant. No ambiguity about it or clarification required. It understandably irritates those people when mainstream discourse essentially rewrites those concepts without allowing anyone to object, and jumps down the throats of anyone who tries.
