TBF if any country/region is gonna send the gender critical crowd packing it's NZ/Oz and Polynesian/pacific islanders....its a cultural,religious issues there,that the American/European culture isn't applicable on.isha wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 10:14 am I don't think it is. More and more I see accounts openly calling for "vengeance" because of the response to extreme trans activism. Some may not be aware of how Kellie Jay Keen was attacked in New Zealand and had to be given police protection because of death threats and had to leave the country, all openly invited by mainstream media and a lot of politicians. Keen has a movement called Let Women Speak. It is to facilitate women speaking up about their private spaces, sports, representation etc being commandeered by trans identifying males. She also speaks against the brutal medicalisation of vulnerable youth. For that she is depicted as a Nazi. A completely unrelated group of actual Nazis turned up and ambushed one of her recent Australian events and this was leaped upon as"proof". More and more extreme trans rights activists seem to be close to becoming actual terrorists, as dangerous a threat as incels at least. Several recent mass shooters have identified as transgender. This Nashville shooter had a manifesto. We will hopefully get to see what was in it.

Re: General Current Affairs Chat - Global and Local
The cultural religious thing re trans-genderism has been totally misused in modern times. "Third gender" two spirit type designations in other cultures never meant that the person was indistinguishable from the sex opposite to them. They had a different recognised role, they were generally considered to be of neither sex. In some places they were respected, in some places very much not.Setanta wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 3:10 pm TBF if any country/region is gonna send the gender critical crowd packing it's NZ/Oz and Polynesian/pacific islanders....its a cultural,religious issues there,that the American/European culture isn't applicable on.

Castrati in various forms have been around since forever. A sect from ancient times that I find fascinating are the eunuch priests and devotees of the Phrygian goddess Kibela, aka Cybele, which stretches back more than 2000 years.
I saw how the hijra were treated in India in the 1980s and 90s. Very very badly. But there was never any hint of an idea that a hijra is indistinguishable from a woman. The moronic idea that sex can actually be changed, that a male can actually BE a female, is very much a modern product of deconstructionist ideology. Respect and treat all people well, so long as they are harming no others. But no irrational ideology.

Remember Kyle Rittenhouse, the guy who killed grown men who were chasing him in self defence. He had no manifesto, yet the media establishment knew why he did what he did - white supremacy of course.
Compare that to the trans person who shot up a school full of kids, they had a full manifesto outlining every thought and feeling yet the media establishment have no idea whatsoever what might have motivated this person.

If you’re happy being lied to and believing those lies I guess you are a blue pill sort of person. (Matrix reference- not viagra)
Re: General Current Affairs Chat - Global and Local
Haha. Lol.
Thanks for that, info wars.
I'll make my own mind up. You keep your colourful pills.

Don’t engage the topic at hand.
Insult the person

So you should take your own advice and stick to the topic at hand.
Instead you went full Alex Jones.

Re: General Current Affairs Chat - Global and Local
It was to contrast the media’s reaction. I brought up the topic at hand. You dismissed it and are name calling again while not actually engaging in the topic. If you don’t want to talk about this just ignore it and stop all the childish name calling. You’re doing some good trolling though, it’s difficult for the woke to fairly engage in some topics and Rittenhouse is one of those topics because they were brainwashed by the media.
The media you consume is abusing you and if you thought about this for just a second instead of going straight to the name calling you’d realise it. I think that’s why you’re scared to honestly engage with the topic at hand.

The reason I ask is that you falsely accused me of that before.
I challenged you and you're straight to playing victim.
Just like the people we're talking about, which is telling.
My point still stands. They are both scumbags.
I dont care about their politics or beliefs or anything else.
They are a pair of c**ts.

You haven’t made any point. You’ve drawn a false equivalence between a boy who shot 3 grown men in self defence and a grown woman or man depending on your stance entering a school with a machine gun to gun down infants.Mirabeau wrote: ↑Mon Apr 03, 2023 1:18 pm What did I call you?

feck them both is not a point. It’s showing how remarkably brainwashed someone can become.

Nicola Sturgeon's husband, Peter Murrell, has been arrested on charges of financial irregularities with SNP finances, and their home is being searched. He has been the SNP's chief executive since 1999.

I don't have any thoughts about the "Union". Just gonna be interesting to see Nicola tell about how she never noticed.
By the way have you seen the invites to the coronation?

Invite is a verb meaning to request to attend. Write that out 1000 times after class
