"Her penis" - not at all Orwellian - argh

[icehorse]

I'm sorry, "her penis" is a lie. It's not nuanced or complex, it's a lie.

This article starts by relating one incident, but then refers to many more:

‘Her penis’ – the most Orwellian phrase of our age

I'm sorry, what's the point of the op?

I guess a summary of the article is that this phrase "her penis" is showing up all over mainstream journalism, as if such a thing is real.

Why are you always hating on trans people?

I suspect it is a starting point to go off on another anti rant.

 

[icehorse]

Why are you always hating on trans people?

Why are you willing to throw girls and women under the bus?

And BTW, are these men who are explicitly announcing they will do nothing to appear to be a woman really the folks you're supporting?

No one is supporting anyone who exposed themselves to kids. Where did you get the idea that was the case?

I'm just wondering why you are always making or commenting on threads about trans people. Seems obsessive

To quote a word from the article - what a knob.

You appreciate that it isn't "Orwellian" when some people choose to use a phrase but when everyone is forced not to.

Tell that to JK Rowling. You might want to look into how extensive and dangerous cancel culture has become when, for example, you refuse to repeat the lie "a trans woman is a woman".

Presumably the article writer has not read the book.

It's been five minutes, so @icehorse needs to show everyone that he hates trans people again.

It is like they are afraid they will forget about it if they are not constantly reminding them self.

Just so we're clear on what you're after; are you saying that this guy belongs in spaces intended for women, or are you saying that trans people don't belong in spaces for either gender?

I know it's doomed to fail, but I'm going to try to have an actual conversation with you!

Do you think the perp in the article is somehow helping the trans community? Do you think you defending this perp is somehow helping the trans community?

Did you even skim the article?

Do you think the perp in the article is an accurate representation of all trans people?

same questions for you as in post #15.

Let me add another - can you distinguish between trans activism and trans people?

 

[icehorse]

Do you think the perp in the article is an accurate representation of all trans people?

Of course not! But you seemed bent on defending the "her penis" utterance anyway.

How this conversation goes is up to you.

Do you think the perp in the article is somehow helping the trans community? Do you think you defending this perp is somehow helping the trans community?

We both know that the article in your OP is just your excuse to rail about trans people in general.

I'm responding to a thread where, when confronted with a news story about a trial for indecent exposure, your problem wasn't the crime; your problem was with the fact that officers of the court used the phrase "her penis."

Don't pretend that you made this thread about something you didn't.
