If you talked about non-binary and pronouns a couple of years ago people would think you were talking about computer coding and grammar.

That would actually appear to be easier to understand nowadays.

Are you aware of Ireland's self ID laws?

Sadly. I just think as a society we are thankfully still a while away from listening to the baying inclusivity mob. I hope so anyway.

Yep, you seem to be in denial about transgender people alright.

Men can’t have periods.
Along with death, and taxes, this is a fact.

People who believe that men can have periods. That’s who “they” are.

Ssssh. Don't tell them. It's kinda like telling kids at Christmas there's no *****.

I can't be doing with millenials even though I am one age wise. The only good thing about them is that they like using cam sites, etc, for example I have dealt with some girls who were happy to perform sexually together for me on video. It is a small world nowadays, you can have two 21 year old Canadian girls kissing each other and following your instructions without leaving your sofa in Northern Ireland. I also own videos of some pro porn actors, I directed the videos myself.

A candidate for the US Democratic nomination for President said men who transition should be allowed use abortion services.

Bizarre doesn't being to describe it.

A fundamentalist Church of ideology.

At least it's an election promise they can keep.

The thing is - she does. But that wasn’t sufficient to qualify as a female athlete. There’s nothing particularly binary in biology.

Like really?
Aborting what?
From where?
It's all a bit silly if it's getting to that stage.

There is

Even if they did I don't see why I need to be 'aware' of it.

What I have been meaning to ask is what equality rights are non-binary ppl looking for? Specifically. Anyone know?

Caster Semenya had been designated biologically male by the IAAF, and menstruates. So it’s clearly not so simple.

*citation needed, on all of the above points.

Not that it’s even relevant to the point being made by the OP.

Yes. Track and Field in particular is dying on its feet because of years of doping scandal on doping scandal.
Basically if you say you are in actual fact a lesbian kangaroo with a foot fetish then they will agree with you just to stop you from heading off to play basketball instead.

That illustration is gross. Yup, I find menstrual discharge gross. That’s not me self-hating my womanliness, in case anyone says. There are many bodily secretions I find disgusting.

There is a subtext in the illustration. Some transmen got into a free bleeding campaign to illustrate that men bleed too. Probably pics on google. I reckon thats why they have bloody pants, a nod to that campaign. I remember the first time I saw a free bleeding image I made the same Ew recoil as when I saw a very hairy person with a beard, hairy chest, male pattern baldness and big boobies feeding a wee newborn. There is only so much cognitive dissonance the brain can take

BoJack Horseman

The degenerate establishment elite don't slow down to take a breath

They are now looking into the current illegality status of inbreeding

As reported in The Times

The commission will also look at the law on incest, which criminalises vaginal sexual intercourse between blood relatives.

What a time to be alive in the brave new "liberal" Ireland.

I don't doubt that pedophilia is next on the list

I think it's important to remember that most people find this stuff to be nonsensical, ridiculous and largely pathetic. People are too busy trying to get by to engage in naval gazing about gender identity. As far as I can see the people who obsess over these things are largely bored middle class (mostly millennial) people who are very comfortable in life and feel they need something to feel oppressed over (this applies to a lot of these social justice activist types).

That said, what should concern us is the power and influence this tiny group of activists seem to hold in our society. Why is there so much coverage in relation to these minority issues that hardly affect anyone?

Somebody would want to educate them on what being a man actually is, because it sure as **** isn’t any of those things.

Free Bleeding began as a prank on 4chan to start a moronic fake SJW movement and see if any idiots would take the bait. I still remember how ecstatic the celebratory thread was when, some time later, it all culminated in some eejit running a marathon with blood streaming down her legs as a contribution to the movement.

It was, just like the whole “it’s okay to be white” and “bikini bridge” trolling operations, entirely an exercise in showing how stupid people become with a herd mentality and the power of viral memes, and depressingly it has yet to fail in stirring up real-life bullish!t when provoked.

Oh, thats interesting. Didnt know that. I read that book on the Chan sites by Angela Nagle, they are a very interesting phenomenon. I do think some of the utter madness accompanying this identitarian movement is transgressive kids sh1t stirring. And no matter how mad anything is you have a portion of people who row in to its defense. Which is odd.
