I am not sure why you are playing this game. Yes, a real thing. Are you not aware of Bidens attempt to rewrite Title 9 and force that on the states? Of liberal controlled places like California forcing this into the schools with laws hiding gender identity from parents? Intelligent people can always disagree about anything. It is the political left that is pushing this garbage onto children right now. Oh, you mean like saying girls don't have to compete against boys? Yet again, it is the political left who is pushing this madness. You have to play these political games and label that "anti-trans" to avoid dealing with the specifics. Literally nothing worth responding to here relevant to the thread. Quote

If what I said was not relevant to the thread, it was because you brought it up. If that was your concern to begin with, you seem to have only now figured that out for yourself. I am sure it has nothing to do with the fact that you tried to blow off what laws the left is pushing onto people, and now that I showed you were wrong... oops, you don't want to play anymore. Quote

You happily went along with the discussion this whole way... you just can't respond anymore because I am picking apart your vague and bad arguments or outright falsehoods you are saying.

Up to this clause, it was quite an accurate descriptions. The so called socialist camp was one big prison camp though. Not very different in essence; still another flavor of totalitarianism. Between the two, there isn't a good one. Quote If it's you or them, the truth is equidistant
Black Dog Posted August 13, 2024 Report Posted August 13, 2024 13 hours ago, User said: I did not say "children being forced" I choose my language carefully. What I said was: "When Democrats are passing laws FORCING this onto children, that is not a cultural trend we are talking about. " And if you actually did read the headlines, the last link I posted was in regards to the Title 9 changes pushed by Biden administration, that does in fact force girls to have to compete against boys in sports as well as share their personal spaces like locker rooms with them. Forcing girls to have to compete against boys is a regression of rights and options. When Democrats are forcing this crap onto children, as I actually said, they are cutting parents out of issues like gender identity of their own children through the law. Where, specifically, in the revised rules does it say that? The rights of LGBTQ students will be protected by federal law and victims of campus sexual assault will gain new safeguards under rules finalized Friday by the Biden administration. The new provisions are part of a revised Title IX regulation issued by the Education Department, fulfilling a campaign pledge by President Joe Biden. He had promised to dismantle rules created by former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who added new protections for students accused of sexual misconduct. Notably absent from Biden’s policy, however, is any mention of transgender athletes. https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-politics-and-policy/bidens-new-title-ix-rules-protect-lgbtq-students-trans-sports-rule-sti-rcna148537 Quote

Title 9's protections are based on sex discrimination and this is going to redefine "sex" to include transgender (gender identity) students identifying as a sex they are not. It doesn't have to explicitly spell out sports... when a school forbids a trans student who is a biological male claiming to be a female from competing... that defacto becomes a discrimination based on... sex. The Biden admin pulled out the explicit language on sports in a political maneuver, but it doesn't change what the foundation does here in changing sex to mean gender identity too AND if this does go through as OK, then that is the next logical step to explicitly spell it out.

Nationalist Posted August 13, 2024 Report Posted August 13, 2024 (edited) This is stupid. The Libbies hang their whole argument on the definition of the word "gender". I look at my birth certificate and it clearly says "Gender: Male". End of argument. Now...are there enough people out there who have...some sort of issue...with their "gender", to warrant some sort of...accommodation? Meh...let's say there is. The question then become, 'What should this accommodation be?' Neither most Libbies or Conservatives would be willing to outright disallow for these people. So what to dooo... Well...the average Conservative has taken the position that Trannies are fine as adult expressions of one's sensuality...in a proper adult setting. NOT in schools and NOT fcking naked in fcking public. Othere than that...fill ur pumps. Yet this is unthinkable to Libbies. Kids MUST be exposed to what we can rightly call, sexual deviance. And that...could we please just not talk to parents about intents, so that we "force" our kids to be exposed to...sexual deviance. This is the issue summarized. Now tell me...which side is being unreasonable and rather authoritarian? Edited August 13, 2024 by Nationalist 1 1 Quote Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died.
CdnFox Posted August 13, 2024 Report Posted August 13, 2024 3 hours ago, Matthew said: The MAGA brand of anti-democracy is more in line with traditional fascist movements, where democracy is seen as an impediment to the cause of national unity and that the ethics of democratic rights and due process are less important than the goal of compensating against some perceived national humiliation. This nationalist approach would be a turn off to most socialists, who inherently value the idea of democracy and empowering ordinary people. Though more authoritarian leninist type state socialists criticize democracy with the logic that purely individualized rights in a capitalist society are only actually protected for the ruling class and that voting is easily subverted by the power of propertied wealthy interests. It's a subtle difference though in practice and ultimately I think you're right that the anti-democracy of the current republicans could contribute to their evolution into a de facto communist movement. Though populist workers movements tend to fizzle out before it gets to that. Right - because it was the republicans who tried to undemocratically remove a candidate's name from the ballots using the courts in an unlawful manner. It was republicans who used the judicial system to try to bankrupt, suppress and jail an opponent using faked up charges never before seen and fines that were clearly based on politics only. It was the republicans who encouraged riots all across the country that burned cities and killed and wounded hundreds. It was republicans who created a fake "dossier" and talked the FBI into treating it as 'real' in order to interfere with political opponents. Oh wait. that was all democrats. I guess we know who REALLY feels democracy is the burden 1 Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data
