it's easy to trivialize and/or mock social justice concepts when you're a member of a majority group

when you're in the minority - then you think twice about it - it's not so easy

I am in a minority group on here. 2 actually. Conservative and not an atheist. I simply deal with it.

I question whether he is in fact a member of the majority on this issue; seems to be pretty much equally divided along political lines.

this is a very small group - I was referring to the society as a whole - a whole different thing - this group has no power at all other than to ban you or suspend you - a very minor thing in the scheme of things - the society as a whole has overwhelming power

it's an entirely different thing - if you're a member of one minority group - you feel it when a different minority group gets mocked or insulted - you know it could be your turn next - and you know it could happen to your children or other family members - and you know that at any moment it could morph into a physical thing

There're 3 or more sides to 2 sides of an issue.

Because a man cannot become a woman and a woman cannot become a man. Simple science.

It's always amusing to me when right-wingers suddenly profess an interest in science. The party of anti-vax, anti-mask, anti-climate change, and drink bleach. But now suddenly science matters.

Yeah, I know that's political, but it needed to be said.

See y'all in X days.

I am certain none of the members here who refuse to call someone by their preference would dare gonin front of a judge and say, "Mr. X, I refuse to call you "Your Honor" because you weren't born that way and in fact didn't become your honor until recently when appointed as a judge so you will have to respect my wish to call you Mr. And Sir."

I would love to see someone on here try it.

How on earth does that relate? A judge is actually a judge.

But I identify as a judge so from now on please refer to me as The Most Honorable AZDuffman.

Thanks in advance.

So you believe a judge was born a judge?
link to original post

What on earth are you talking about?

Listen, I said I identify as a judge. So quit saying “you” and say “your honor” please. Tolerance for my identification.

Lol suddenly AZ doesn't know what I am talking about.

It was the simplest question. Does he believe judges are born that way.

He can't answer directly because he really understands his position is wrong so he answers with the blubbering "what are you talking about?" Line.

Unless there is a divine right of judges they are not born judges. Again I ask what are you talking about?
link to original post

So if you are willing to call someone not born a judge a judge when they become a judge why won't you call a transgender a woman when she becomes a woman?
link to original post

I don't know anything about you specifically or if this applies to you but I'm always curious about straight men who state a transgender woman actually becomes a woman. Does that mean those same straight men would be willing to have a relationship and/or be intimate with these newly made women?

A question for the moderators and maybe for the tech guys.

Does the 'flag' feature still exist? I don't currently see any flag buttons.
That feature always did work differently for moderators, but I'm surprised to no longer see the button.

Quote: Rule 15

Flagging: The primary purpose of flagging is to rid the forum of spam but can also be used for other obvious rule violations. Flagging legitimate posts, for any reason, is not allowed. (Added 4/15/2016)

One man's 'obvious' is another man's opinion.

"Flagging" may have been disabled in late 2014/early 2015.
I seem to remember getting scolded for (subjectively) "misusing" it, and shortly afterwards it was not-visible.

As for other definitions of the term, I don't really go to those bars.

The flag button can be seen by members on the posts of new members only, I believe.

Twenty years ago, I can tell you that a relatively large percentage of dancers in NYC were not born female. I can only imagine what the numbers are these days.

I think "CSI" had a line about that, of course Vegas where it was set, not NYC.
