    As for being in the presence of a minor, I would say a fella with his cock and balls hanging out in front of a child is a serious offence and one which could rightly get that person hurt, regardless of what they identify as.

    Obviously not if they identify as female, then its fine as the penis is regarded as being a vagina when on a trans person, they can have lesbian sex I'm also led to believe, lucky lesbians i suppose

    Are you following the discussion? We are talking about trans in changing rooms with young children, particularly young girls. And you are being very disingenuous in your comments about drunkmonkey but it’s to be expected from the likes of you - pick a point and then twist it until you can beat that person with it repeatedly. It won’t work here since most of us know exactly what point that poster was making but it’s lost on you.

    Are you an expert on transgenderism? If not, how come you can comment on that but can't answer my question?

    I am not an expert on transgenderism, neither is anyone here. That's why I'm happy to go with what the experts do say.
    Nope. Read what I said again. I couldn't give a monkeys what the choose to call themselves. I stand by that.

    I agree, I do have an issue with trans women being admitted to places for biological women. I do have an issue with self identification in so far as I don't think it should be recognised as fact.

    If it seems that I have issues with trans people going about their daily lives then so be it. Once their life doesn't require me to go along with their belief, I have no issue.

    Has it ever affected your life?
    Is that just for transgenderism or if someone wanted to be addressed as "your highness" would you do that. What if I wanted to be referred to as "sugar daddy". Would you?

    If not, then why is it only transgenderism you do it for? I hate to use the term, but it smacks of virtue signalling.


    If not being called sugar daddy was provably damaging to your mental health why wouldn't I call you it?

    A “female penis” I believe it was referred to as earlier- also known as a 404 error.

    This is it.

    There are certain markers about you that are inarguable. Your gender - male/female - is one. It can be confirmed by various means. Your age is another. Your skin colour, your height, your fingerprints are all others. Your name and religion are things which can change.

    A functioning society depends on certain base facts being agreed upon. We know what year it is and what day it is. We know what words mean - when I say "I don't like tomatoes", I don't mean "Give us a free pint". Base identifiers such as the above also mean certain things.

    You can think you're a jellybean for all I care. But you're not a jellybean. If you start seriously demanding jellybean rights, then we can conclude you are more likely to have a mental disorder. Having a mental disorder invalidates your claim to be a jellybean. You are not a jellybean, and have to operate within normal societal rules and definitions for the good of society.

    Otherwise you'll have teenagers suing because they identify as 70-year-olds who want access to a state pension. You'll have people identifying as 15-year-olds to get off child porn charges. You'll have people identifying as a 5'2" black person to get off a charge of a bank robbery where CCTV shows the criminal to be a white person 5'10" in height.

    This all sounds ridiculous, but a similar case has already been tested in the courts and thrown out, with the judge correctly noting that it "would have a variety of undesirable legal and societal implications". But what's the difference between identifying as an age you're not and identifying as a gender you're not? It's the very question the person in that case put to the court.

    Society needs base rules to operate functionally. Waking up in the morning and deciding that you're now a female is not one of those rules.

    And that's before we get to the incalculable harm being done by this movement to kids being forced into taking puberty blockers, for example. Scientology doesn't affect me, but as a member of society, I would like it to be shut down because of the harm it does to other people. Same here.


    ^^^ This.

    A self identifying trans woman (or as some might say, a man) has no place in a women's changing room where there are women of all ages in various states of undress.

    I'm sorry, if that stops them getting along with their lives then that is their problem. Just because they want to be a woman or feel like a women, doesn't make them a woman.

    It's really that simple.

    Couldn't they just wrap a towel around themselves? It may shock you to learn but not everyone has a need to walk starkers around changing rooms. Id drunkmonkey thought I had misunderstood him he would have had an issue with more than the idea he would derive sexual pleasure from his assault.

    Sexual assault doesn't depend on whether the attacker gets sexual gratification. You used the imagery of anally raping a person with an implement, a prospect that many trans people do actually fear being subjected to.

    No you used that image in your head. In my head I saw a chicken on a stick.

    If I was waking home outside of a place I feel safe and 2 big girls in dresses with hairy balls were behind me i'd get the fear just like trans women must get scared of gay men.

    Not yet but the way it’s going it will infringe eventually - special pronouns, the likes of JY as a pseudo-female dragging multiple cases through courts for access to female only services, the females that I care about under threat from perverts identifying as female but with male anatomy. Sorry but I’m not accepting that state of the world ever.

    To deny that possibility is to be an active danger to society. And I do note that you've never commented on the suggestion that puberty blockers for pre-teens until they "decide what gender they are" is outrageously harmful too.

    You say this doesn't harm anyone. I say it really does.

    Well at least they can't claim you only wanted to confront him. Like I said, your only issue is the sexual aspect of what I said. You don't deny the physical aspect. Smacks of homophobia. At least the others can stop pretending you didn't mean it literally.

    If I was waking home outside of a place I feel safe and 2 big girls in dresses with hairy balls were behind me i'd get the fear just like trans women must get scared of gay men.

    So it doesn't effect you at all and it hasn't affected anyone you know but you are determined to stop it on the possibility a predator might try and use self identification to get into a woman's space.

    My wife works with kids with learning difficulties, ADHD, Dyslexia etc - she does assesments and treatment plans for them,
    as she is in the field she comes across some strange cases.
    One such case of a kid she did an assesment on - nice girl 16, but had some other issues, so she was referred to the psychiatrist.
    A lot of these cases are teenagers that are depressed and have problems and for some reason they believe if they transition they won't
    have the issue as they think "Boys/Girls don't face these issues" which I kind of understand, I went through dark times when I was 16/17
    and remember thinking how easy it must be for girls - crazy, and of course never had the idea of a sex change.

    She was self harming and the hack doctor recommended to the parents they start the process - hormone replacement therapy as his logic was
    if they don't do it now, it will be tougher in the future.

    It didn't solve the issues and the now he continued to self harm so they needed to prescribe these anti psychotic drugs - which has side effects.
    He is now overweight and the drugs effect his speech and he is semi catatonic and just mumbling and drooling, my wife said she was almost in tears
    when she saw him.

    From a nice slim girl to a fat slavering boy, that is like Jack Nicholson at the end of One Flew over the Cuckoo's nest.
    So sad.

    Beware of hack doctors, it's not always the case but a lot of times it's other psychiatric issues at play here.

    The litigation cases in the future will be interesting.

    Because it is medically recognised to be so.

    Not yet thankfully. But funnily enough, I don't always wait until after the fact to safeguard or prepare for events. My house hasn't been burgled, but I still lock the door.

    How does the burglary rate compare to the rate of transgender women attacking other women in female spaces in Ireland? You're comparing something that is extremely common to something that hasn't even happened in Ireland.
    Because I'm not your sugar daddy. Plus, what proof do you have from self identifying trans people apart from their word?


    I don't require proof.

    But you knew that of course, because I said it earlier. So the above is just the usual attempt to misrepresent me.

    Care to discuss the dangers about giving puberty blockers to pre-teens, which wiki says are "commonly used for the transgender community"? Giving kids drugs like this has been mentioned a number of times on the thread, but you've ignored it every time.

    Perhaps we change it from male and female changing rooms to "cock" or "fanny" changing rooms.

    So are you implying that because of how they act, they can now choose to be out in a woman's prison even though they are men?

    What is to stop hardened criminals or sex offenders acting like women, growing their hair out and talking like a woman in order to gain access to women's prisons?

    What is the criteria in your opinion that would qualify a man to be allowed access to a womens prison? How would you make the decision of who goes where? Genuine question.

    It's also important to note any changes in suicide rate as a result of any operation.

    I understand transgender people - possibly due to the high rates of inherent mental disorders - do suffer from higher suicide rates than normal. But those rates are similar among those who have had an operation and who haven't. In other words, the operation doesn't achieve anything in that regard.

    Like, this is obviously a really sad thing to be discussing, but it still has to be done properly, or else we get nowhere.

    Some want to shame "normal" society into accepting the blame for this high suicide rate. And to try shame someone into accepting responsibility for a suicide which, while unfortunate, is nothing to do with them is ****ing disgusting.

    Now now. I wasn't trying to compare them side to side. I was showing an example of not waiting until something has affected you before you take steps to protect yourself from it happening.

    If I said something was like the straw that broke the camels back, would you be quizzing me on the amount of straws it takes to break the back and how many times have I injured camels? Along with the flagpole stuff, you really do lack any nuance or awareness of how people speak.

    There's quite a few reports on it from around different countries. I thought it was common knowledge.

    Because the state has an obligation to be aware of any medical conditions of prisoners and to be able to ensure their safety. Psychiatric assessment is a non invasive way to ensure the condition is genuine and proper accommodation is made.
