There is nothing here, really. this interface where your own face looms suddenly from dark patches of the screen some fragment of cheek, lip, eye startled recollection of the self I had imagined I was in a stream of other voices, false-familiar strangers

Are there out gay people in Sligo? Do they face significant discrimination or abuse? Because I didn't think Ireland was that backwards. That there are gay people who are still in the closet it's true. But if they're not in very socially conservative enclaves, usually ...

... immigrant communities, it's probably much more to do with internal psychological issues than any actual societal oppression. Which is what I suspect was going on with your case above.

F***ing hell. I think I need to stop talking to you now. This conversation has definitely run its course. It would require an actual clinical absence of self-awareness to be able to write the sentences above. And i mean that without metaphor or hyperbole.

Have a good life dude, I genuinely can't imagine what it would be like to be you, but I hope it works out ok.

Oh look a small miracle, he finally admits that we created the words man and woman to distinguish between humans on the basis of their sex. So not arbitrary at all then?

And yes of course words can change their meaning but a lot of them don't tend to, especially ones that deal with very basic facets of human existence. I still require words that distinguish between people on the basis of sex. So why the hell shouldn't I have any?

I'm telling you what the word gender means. What it was conceptually used to refer to. Ever since sociologists and feminists started using it back in the 60s-70s. But as usual, in your inimitable fashion, you think it can mean whatever Jeremy wants it to mean.

"Association is going to happen no matter what." 'We're going to force the gender stereotypes on you no matter what', yeah absolutely not regressive at all dude. 🤦

Nobody's 'equating' gender with sex. But the fact that our concept of gender is based on our observations about the sexes is simply factual.

There is already a separation between men and women you fool. So unless you're advocating for the abolition of THAT segregation (an extremely unpopular idea politically), all we are arguing about is the nature and basis of that separation.

I am advocating for 3rd spaces as an accomodation, under a disability rights framework, for people who have a severe psychological condition involving an aversion to being grouped with their own sex. This is actual liberalism, unlike your religious nonsense.

JFC. You actually have to provide a logically consistent reason for categorising it as a group. You can't just assert it into being. I can't just assert that chihuahas are included in the group cats and have that be true. No matter how many crazies & idiots agreed with me.

Introvert describes a personality type. There are objective criteria that make the description true or not true. It's nothing to do with identifying as something. Do you seriously think people are incapable of being wrong about themselves?

Which is that transwomen are transwomen and transmen are transmen. They are their own thing. And any psychological aversion they have to sharing facilities and categories with members of their own sex will have to be dealt with by the provision of 3rd spaces.

This is the only way that a secular liberal democracy can deal with these issues without betraying it's own principles or values.

"arbitrary" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You really are one of the most ridiculous people I've ever encountered on this app. You've literally broken your brain trying to post hoc rationalise an inherently irrational claim. Now you're out here spouting the most absurd lunatic nonsense.

'Oh yes, people just arbitrarily applied these labels man & woman to adults, no reason for it whatsoever, just random vibes, a bit of linguistic performance art. Absolute 🤡 God help trans people if you're the calibre of intellect advocating for them.

Nobody serious is proposing to ban cross-dressing not even the nutty Republicans. The only conservative here is yourself with your insistence on a regressive return to giving importance to 'gender' and all it's poisonous stereotyping. And male people demanding entrance to ...

... female spaces and services on the basis of their magical personality facets (as you put it) are certainly demanding special privileges and exemptions. As for your last sentence, just look in the mirror dude.

There are words that have come to mean something opposite their original meaning, like enervate. But they then tend to stop being used because no one knows what they mean. Their communicative power has been destroyed.

🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦 FFS I am saying nothing of the sort. Anyone of either sex can exhibit attributes of masculinity or femininity. I am simply saying that man is a word that we use to refer to male people. It cannot therefore be coherently used to also refer to female people.

Any more than you can use the word black to refer to white things or the word cat to refer to domestic canines. This is not f***ing complicated.

Saying that 'a male person who is imitating & identifying with some idea of femaleness' is on some essential level the same thing as an 'actually female person' is certainly conflating them. This childish denial of obvious truths is just making you look foolish.

Especially in a question begging way to win an argument. I've already asked you to provide dictionary evidence that we're using those words to refer to gender categories. You've failed to do so.

It's quite clear that the vast majority of us are using them to refer to the quality of being adult male or female humans. This childish, foot stamping insistence that we use your preferred meaning s does your cause no good I'm afraid.

Masculinity means nothing without it's association with the male sex. It's literally the attributes that we associate with the male sex. Same formula for feminity. That DOESN'T MEAN that anyone has to BE masculine or feminine because of their sex. BECAUSE GENDER ISN'T REAL.

It's a human cultural framework referring to statistical probabilities of attributes that have a bimodal distribution around the sex classes. I'm 'being a jerk' because you're being an idiot.

Some people have an odd quasi-religious belief that they personally possess a 'gender', even though that has no material grounding and no one has ever given a coherent account of what a 'gender' is in that context. As I've repeatedly pointed out to you, I'm not a member ...
