Your definition is not meaningful, since it excludes transgender females

New evidence shows that it is not a disorder or a mental illness. There have been a lot of remarks in this thread dismissing transgenderism as fantasy or delusion.

Yeah, that, too, but what does that have to do with political activism? No, I am right, You are wrong. Transgenderism is not a fantasy. It is real. No, I got the info from a science book.

What scientific tests have you done to demonstrate that you have a brain?

You hallucinating? All I did was post Musk's post. But while we're on the subject, can you explain why Musk is removing the X verified status (the little checkmark) from any MAGA member that dares to oppose him? https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/maga-opponents-of-elon-musk-claim-he-stripped-them-of-their-x-badges-1.7159192

Transgenderism came first. Wrong. The point is to live authentically. I am cisgender because my body differentiated in the same sex as my brain did in utero.

That's what motivates you? Lol

there's no need to feel threatened only to you, because you don't understand it You probably would have joined the Society for the Preservation of the Meanings of Words.

To you people hung up on the definitions of words - the definitions of words change over time. “Nice” used to mean trivial or useless. Example - …it will therefore require a close and wary attendance: a physician that has a nice and tender patient, must be assiduous in his care, observant of all symptoms… (Richard Allestree, The Gentleman’s Calling, 1660) “Bully” used to mean sweetheart. Example - “I kiss his dirty shoe, and from heart-string I love the lovely bully. What is they name?” (Shakespeare, Henry V, 1600) “Luxury” used to mean lechery or lust. Example - "What? shall we live like beasts promiscuously, Without distinction in foule luxurie?" (Juvenal (Translated by William Barkstead), That Which Seemes Best is Worst, 1617) “Radical” used to mean of, or relating to, or proceeding from a root. Example - …also of certayne herbes, fruytes, and spyces, hauynge the propertye to expelle melancalyke humours, and to comforte and kepe lyuely the spirites, whiche haue theyr proper habitation in the hart of ma, and moderate nouryshyng of the naturall heate and humour, callyd radical, which is the base or foundation, whervppon the lyfe of manne standeth… (Sir Thomas Elyot, 1553) “Buxom” used to mean marked by obedience. Example - "[We] adore and worship thy majesty, and tremble at thy judgments and works, and therefore pray always that we may content with thy will, and be buxom and obedient thereto." (Henry Bull, Christian Prayers and Meditations, 1566) And so it came to pass, circa 1800, that The Society for the Preservation of the Meanings of Words protested fiercely. “How can a full bosom be considered obedient?” demanded Roger St. Rogers. “It makes no sense.” “Not unless it is obeying luxury,” replied Henry Harmsworth. “And how can I evermore have luxury for my bully?” “And call my mother nice?” “It is a sin against nature!” “Radical!” Roger jacked up his eyebrows. “Do you mean the new or the old meaning?” “The new one, of course.” They slumped in their seats. “The world turns,” Roger said, “and I cannot stop it.” “But, I’m scared,” cried Henry. “I lose my bearings!” “We must adapt.” Henry nodded. “Life doesn’t stop for anybody.” “Instead of trying to change the world,” Roger firmed his mouth, “I will try to change myself.” *** Side note – the Mirriam-Webster dictionary now includes this entry under “male” having a gender identity that is the opposite of female And the entry for “female” now includes the following: having a gender identity that is the opposite of male Horrors! How will we cope! /s

Biology supports the existence of transgenderism. it is not an army. It is people who want to be recognized as fully complete human beings. What narrative are you talking about? You want people to live your narrative despite their narrative being different from yours? So, who is the tyrant here?

Are you saying Musk's post wasn't true? You're out of the loop. Social media has exploded with the "America First" anti-immigrant slurs.

Lol. Yep, what was I saying about your reality being an illusion....

Yeah, the side of truth.

I have an opinion. And it is based on fact.

@CdnFox Nothing but insults? How sad it must be to be you.

Well, this is sad to hear. Hate is not a constructive or productive activity. But, anyways, I think the most Poilievre will do is ban transgender women from competing in women's sports. And I think this is fair, as a transgender woman does have a physical advantage over a cisgender woman. As far as bathrooms are concerned, this is an easy fix. We just need bathrooms with individual rooms containing a toilet and a sink. We already have restaurants like that. This is the way of the future. Canada is not spending hundreds of millions of dollars on this. And what countries do you mean? This money that you say is being used for DEI is actually being used for research - but with a goal of greater representation from under-represented groups. I think the diverse perspectives will serve the research.

The movement to the right in Canada has absolutely nothing to do with some sort of "anti-woke" agenda. Those issues considered "woke" - for example MAID, abortion, and transgenders rights - have all been settled in Canada. The movement to the right is 100% about economic issues, especially affordability of housing.

K, first of all, don't call it "my side." Don't make the mistake of thinking you know me. In all honesty, I think the inauguration is bigger than Trump. It's like a celebration of the democratic way. I don't think playing at it necessarily signals a support of Trump, but of the US in general. If you approach it from that perspective, then you should have no trouble playing at it. But on the other hand, I do understand the very grave threat Trump poses to the country, and people are reacting to that.

Caring about the welfare of others is never scummy. The efforts of @Scott75 have been honourable, yours have been despicable. I take him a lot more seriously than I take you. Nothing you say is grounded in reality. It’s all a tale told by an id1ot, signifying nothing. I told you to quit talking to yourself.

How dare you, or anyone like you, reduce the very real struggle of fellow human beings to “whims”? Seems you are arbitrarily changing the meaning of the word “whim” here. There is nothing fanciful or capricious in being born in a body that does not coincide with the sex of your brain. But, I understand this is beyond your comprehension. Of course transgenders are born naturally. What other way is there of being born? What you need to understand is that transgender persons are a part of society, too. You are a victim of your narrow-minded and ignorant reality. But your version of reality is an illusion that calls upon you to disavow the reality of others. It’s a persistent one for you, which only leads me to pity you in your trap.

Omg, Trump totally comes to mind with this description. Do you have any idea how tribal you sound?

Three cheers for free speech.

Lol, yeah, it's a psyop. Never mind the deep division between the "immigration and HB1 visa is good" (read - businesses like Musk's who want to hire these people) and the radical "America First' crowd who post things like this: If they can help our country, why didn't they help THEIR country? F*ck off. We're full. America for Americans. Exactly. By continually importing the best from elsewhere, we damage the world as a whole amen.. street sh*tters need to be deported. All of them We pay more. To foreigners? F*ck that. America First means AMERICA...FIRST. MAGAReport 12/27/24: MAGA Infighting

Lol, them's fighting words! All because people just want to live their lives.
