Perspektiv

If your doctor is attentive and competent, it won't matter what skin color that they are. My doctor is white, am black. He is attentive and competent, so his first questions were based on my family history, to gather data on me. He is incredibly thorough. As a result, he's helped me catch issues before they worsened in being proactive. I have never looked for a black doctor. I look for a doctor. Most people want a competent doctor, with strong bedside manners. I have had a female doctor again, very competent, assess me just as properly as male doctors had (if not better). I don't buy a second that race plays a bigger role than merit, when it comes to medical care. You may be onto something with gender, as my wife is more comfortable with having her physicals done by women, but both of us have had them done by the opposing gender and were just as comfortable with the professional and competent treatment that we got. Isn't the presence in itself, providing safety? Why is a police called to a bad neighborhood? To terrorize, or in response to higher crime rates? If police terrorize say, gang filled neighborhoods, then why is it when funding is reduced (and thus, policing effectiveness), that crime rates spike, and the demand for police presence increases? People who hate police, will not respect the officers, regardless of their race. It takes more funding, to provide communities with more integrating types of activities. Not less. I remember police officers coming to hang out with kids, being silly, as part of programs offered in neighborhoods with high crime. I learned young, that police weren't a threat to me. My exposure was good. They are a threat to those breaking the law, as they should be. I don't know. I would rather the best officers, with great funding to train appropriately, and serious consequences for breaching the laws that they have sworn to uphold.

The correction is fine. Its the insistence on them being wrong, and refusing to let it go (almost demanding a public apology and an acceptance one isn't worthy and what they can do to fix it). It then is turning into a test of who is of higher moral ground, which is precisely the mountain today's woke ideologies are willing to die on. Genuinely wanting to correct a friend, would have meant the correction would have ended then and there. Thats what a correction is. 2 + 2 isn't 5, Perspektiv. Its 4. "Ah, ok". Measuring the error as something that somehow has a moral standing attached to it, no longer is about advising of error. I am French. I live mostly entirely in English. So when a client approached me to let me know my "bonne apres-midi" was grammatically incorrect. Good afternoon in French is in fact, "bon apres-midi", I was incredibly appreciative. Forcing me to publicly apologize based on the weight of shame I have brought to myself is no longer error correction. You are making a public spectacle (or social flogging), setting the social tone for the consequences one will experience for questioning you. Its social control. If you had traveled to a communist country, you would understand the very same methods are employed for social control. Violence is no longer needed like in Tianmen Square to crush a movement. Hong Kong was handled vastly different. Number one, is causing the population to question you. Using deliberate wording, and controlling the narrative is the easiest means to do so. Trump and the far left do this beautifully. Same concept of the camera at bank entrances, showing you that you are being watched. You are already understanding before walking in, the severity of the consequences of your actions, and also, that you knowingly are doing so knowing how you will get caught. They don't even need massive bullet proof windows or jail like security, if they can plant those bars into your head. What I have noticed at the extremes politically is a blatant lack of emotional intelligence at either end. I have yet to meet someone woke, who was emotionally intelligent, or capable to read between lines. Emotional intelligence used to be a prerequisite. Understanding unintended consequence. If all you see is someone correcting another, you have just failed the emotional intelligence test.

No, I use yellow pages online app.

My wording was deliberate. His friend didn't make an incorrect statement. "over 500 wins" isn't an incorrect statement. The one making the correction, perceived the lack of precision in the answer as being incorrect. Either answer would have been suitable for the context that it was being used in. This was grasping at straws, out of context, and with p*** poor social timing to boot. There is nothing polite about the correction. It's dry, rude and arrogant. You're not entitled to people accepting that they may or may not be wrong.

I like to be called the N word in public places from across the room. You failing to comply, makes you racist. You doing so, makes you racist. I think that's checkmate. Personally, I don't care, but since we are talking ideology without logic, I thought I would play the part.

Thank you.

Also known as periods. I don't ask my wife "period of what?!" when she is doubled over in pain responding to me asking whats wrong, as likely would get a phone book thrown at me. I will just trust her, and all women I have dated that "period" is an acceptable term. Okay, so what is incorrect about my statement? Would you use a biological woman to advertise beard grooming products for men? It would be ridiculous. Is that statement sexist? You mean my exaggerated statement, based on the premise of allowing anything to go, regarding activist desires regarding what can acceptably be marketed? You're completely twisting my words.

Couldn't care less. Am not a victim. You can perceive me as such, but am far from it.

What I said was insensitive to some, but in no way was it transphobic. It would be nonsensical to have a trans woman selling tampons. It would make a mockery of women who actually have periods. This is not transphobic. Its factual. Just like noting many in the black community, are fatherless. It arguably insensitive, but there is nothing racist about that statement. What you're doing is playing politics, vs having an open dialogue.

Can trans women have periods?

What slur did I use? Trans women? Biological women? You will have to point out my slur, and explain to me how it's a slur.

This I fully agree on. How am I playing the victim? Do you want links? But am curious. How am I playing the victim?

Not turn everyone gay. But dramatically increase the volume of those who regret changing genders. There already is a precedent that proves this, with pending lawsuits in the UK. 1000s of them. You keep drilling an unhealthy ideology, silence any type of questioning, you get what you get. Thousands of suicidal, sterile and incredibly regretful people. Whats transphobic about it? Calling someone whatever, is fair game. Harder to justify it, sometimes. Am curious.

Lobbying is effective. When you can lobby up to where you can control what is aired to the masses, you now have full control of the narrative. Very hard to counter this, when the very argument you make in opposition is fact checked, dismissed as bigotry and otherwise brought into question. Very hard to question someone with this level of power. Religion is a similar means of controlling someone's mind. Shame, the imposing of moral codes and making it a cardinal sin in questioning things. Control ones mind, you can control their body.

Its effective. If I get angry, then am against gay rights. If am silent, they take over and sooner or later, tampon commercials will feature trans women only. "See! Perspektiv is transphobic. Proof these victims need our help". It allows them to pressure businesses to show they are "inclusive enough". Whats this even mean? I opted for my current work vs RCMP job I qualified for, because they had race quotas. Me being black, made me a better fit than a white cop who was more qualified based on testing. To some minorities this is great, but to be a cop and know am not the best possible officer for the job, to me is disturbing. On paper they are inclusive, due to the volume of women and minorities. How is this not anything more than virtue signaling? Kind of like Trudeau stating 50% of his cabinet is female. Okay, good for you. Are they all qualified for the job? When did this stop mattering?

I don't understand how flying an LGBTQ flag, is in any way shape or form, alienating to your clientele. I could understand outcry if they advertised solely to the trans community, alienating the bulk of its customers (IE Bud light, because nothing spells wanting to drink a beer prior to sports than a trans woman bathing in a bathtub who deliberately states they know nothing about sports). But to simply let them know, we "respect you the same", is now outrageous? With that said, the current rhetoric of some far leftists to shove your face into their ideology, is equally damaging to this community. Both sides need to chill the f*** out. I don't remember ever thinking about the trans community and all were allowed to co-exist. Drag queens were something I would see often. Flirting with a drag queen in the name of fun never was a problem to most, including myself. "I don't know if the wife would be happy, but must admit you have nicer nails", type joke. Until activists felt it would boost their cause to sew division. Spikes in violence, hatred coming out more, like why are we angry, again?

These "activists" will use the fact that some women don't have periods nor give birth, as justification for several things, including allowing trans women to compete with women in sports. It ignores the fact that a woman who can't have periods, still has a vagina. Thats like removing the tires from a Boeing 767, and then saying its no longer a Boeing due to this o_O They have no grounds for an argument, and facts and biology clearly shows that a man will more than likely have physical advantages over a woman. What do you do when you have no argument? Move the goal posts, and silence your opposition. Calling them racist or transphobic is usually best. No need to offer justification for the insult. Am 6' tall, and very likely, if faced with a 6' tall woman, would likely be stronger. More muscle mass, etc. If we both pushed our bodies to the limit. There's a reason women can't eclipse the 10 second mark in track and fields 100m. Hussein bolt does so effortlessly. And here's a hint. Its not sexism.

So, a biological woman. Or woman for short. Until my last dying breath, cis will never be a word that I use. Just like calling myself racialized, because some liberals feel its least offensive to me o_O Am black, and male. Period.

Ugh I hate that word. It just feels like an insult, like deliberately misgendering someone. Am not cis. Am male.

You're that friend at a hockey game watched on TV, people get quiet around: Didn't Patrick Roy get something like over 500 wins? "He got 551 wins." Uh, ok. "Your numbers were incorrect" I was estimating... *pulls out cellphone* "It only takes 10 seconds to verify this data on Google. I even timed it. 10.25 seconds." Bro. You're running my alcohol buzz.... "If you need a buzz to watch hockey, one must question your dedication to your team." *gets kicked out of the house, blaming judgmental friends who refuse to feel the heat for their incorrect thoughts* #wokeisnojoke.com If you just checked the above for a website, you have just proven why woke policies don't work.

Being banned for blatantly violating rules is like being banned for stunt driving. Most people speed. It doesn't mean speeding is bad. Recklessness always is. But when you nitpick on speeding, then it becomes more subjective. Speech isn't meticulously policed here. We aren't babies. Are you a moderator? I don't follow speed limits unless in a residential. Rules are meant to be broken. I rather ask forgiveness than permission. So do I. To quote the wife, I "dance with your music". I then reflect the behavior to give you a taste of what you're doing. It tends to be far more irritating, as you realize how your behavior is towards others. I remain calm as nothing is more satisfying to me to see someone flailing, who has been trying to get under your skin.

I never called you a groomer. I eluded to what grooming entails and provided examples. Certainly did not mention my take or meaning to wording I was using to mean sexual abuse to children. If you got that of my points, then you were truly not paying attention and you intent wasn't debate. Isn't this a free speech forum? Unless actual rules are being violated what is the issue? Talk to me as you wish. As long as debate is done fair, then as you were. Thats you mirroring again. Debate shouldn't be this complicated. Life is short. Of course, hence my mentioning of the deliverate throwing of the equal behavior back in your face. I initially debate in good faith, then give you some of your own medicine. Petty? You bet.

If you don't accept a word has various acceptable uses, then its a you issue. Someone explaining and you refuting, is no longer a matter of a word being used out of scope. Arguing out of scope to denounce what you feel is out of scope is some Matrix level of irony. If one can't accept terms that are demonstrable, they are beyond help. "But its not a standard I accept" Well, I may not accept my wife is the boss. Good luck in me enforcing anything about it. When I buy anything for the house. Who do you think I consult? Whether you accept it or not, is irrelevant. I couldn't care less about memes. Post at will. I find it amusing in someone using them instead of debate. Posting memes in itself, couldn't care less. Your style of debate is essentially moving goal posts, gaslighting and passive aggression. Then a sprinkle of martyr complex and condescending pseudo intellectual responses when called on it or having the same exact behavior thrown in their face. Memes pale in comparison to this. Debate with memes, I will treat your posts with the same level of seriousness. Your style, which isn't putting a mirror to someone. I am fine with mirrors, but rather demanding an adherence to terms that are seemingly always in motion, and putting ultimatums on what I must accept, when participating in free and open dialogue is where I stop playing along. Ultimately I don't care, but its a weak argument to debate with pictures. My post wasn't in debate, but rather me jokingly stating what I feel the woke movement has devolved itself into. Whining, victimhood, and people who are nasty and threatening behind computer screens, but while in actuality...really doing a whole lot of nothing, that actually helps the cause they are fighting for. Trans ideology, is woke. Because it's shoved into faces with force, creates division and alienates women especially, who could be your fiercest allies. Those who ultimately pay are those who are trans and just want to exist. This is woke ideology in a nutshell.

...To your liking. You left out that part. Funny thing about life. Its crazy I know but when you show respect you tend to get it in return. Uncanny. I mean, who would have thought. But not against rules. Okay, so whats the problem with memes, again? They hurt your feelings?

There used to be. It used to be respectable. But it was highjacked by liberal white women.
