Curt Schilling fired over NC Bathroom law
|
Quote:https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=...9550,d.eWE The first incident from 2011 is so vague it is three sentences long. It does not explain why the man was dressed as a woman. It says the man attacked the girl she screamed and was left rattled, but unharmed. The second incident is also a bit vague, but from what I can tell a man stalked a female realtor and tried to lure her into a house. She seemed to sense there was something off about the situation and didn't take the bait. So he tried to attack her in front of the property. I will note that neither of these incidents took place in a bathroom. I acknowledge these incidents exist, but do not accept their existence as an indication this type of thing has not happened in rare occurrences before. I have cited multiple government officials in states where these laws have been passed (in some cases for decades) state there has been no increase in this type of thing occurring with any increased frequency. Now if you flip the script.. http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2016/05/04/gay...omophobia/ http://www.khou.com/news/local/texas/vic.../164230898 http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/brea...02241.html http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-...-1.2496511 http://planettransgender.com/brazilian-t...pparently/ http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/...et-7192272 http://www.washingtonblade.com/2016/04/1...ay-attack/ http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/bangla...ck-n561741 https://www.maoritelevision.com/news/reg...gay-attack http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-1.717121 http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2016/03/27/gay...eet-naked/ http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/quee...-1.2536165 http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/19/us/gay...water.html https://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/2016031...police-say Why is it so easy for me to find incidents of LGBT people being attacked? These are all within the last year. The top hit in my search didn't take me to 2011. It's as if LGBT people are significantly more often the victim of violence.. But you are seeking to connect the dots through a simple Google search instead of reality. You seek men dressed as women attacking women as justification for your argument. You link to vague incidents, but can you consider that these types of things may have been happening in very rare cases all along? Can you accept the statements from government officials I linked to when they say there is no increase of such incidents? That when they say 'no increase' they may be assuming an extremely low percentage of incidents like this which have been occurring from time to time with less of a spotlight as there was previously no reason for you to even enter that Google search?

If i wanna go pee in the ladies room sink why should it be forbidden? Why does Kotite get to decree that its ok to use the facility as long as I wear lady clothes or "self-identify"? Im now a dog dammit, I should be able to piss on the Charter Oak at Noon if I want. I don't want any lines anymore, and anyone who tries to put those kind of restraints on me is guilty of a crime.

All this post tells me is that you reject the concept transgender people are simply born that way. You make a joke which negates their very existence. That is your choice. Ignorance is bliss. I applaud your compassion and understanding.

Quote:But they are happening. A quick search pops up page after page after page (I acknowledge that I did not read them and acknowledge that several will be repeats) but don't say it is not happening. I will note this made me chuckle.. "It's happening. There are links in a search I haven't read." I appreciate the honesty and the conviction.

Quote:Open-minded individuals sometimes refer to such radical thinking as a difference of opinion.Well.. I know several including one that is in kindergarten, the child of a friend from high school. The kid was born male, but started showing signs around two that being born with boy parts does not mean that the child self identified as a boy. I will pause here to note this has NOTHING to do with any sort of sexual attraction or preference as no kid that young should have any self awareness of their sexuality in any way which is not a reflection of their maternal and paternal family connection. For example. Mommy is a girl. Daddy is a boy. They are my parents because they got together and made me. I would hope this is benign enough for everyone. So around two years of age, this kid starts saying things like.. I want my hair long like mommy. I don't want a wife when I get old, I want a husband. This child also felt very uncomfortable being forced to wear boy's clothes. This was not a choice. This was certainly not what my friend wished for her child. She eventually started to take the child to a psychologist who asked a series of questions and quickly deduced what we knew, her child was a girl in a boy's body. She lives her life like just about any other young girl and is oblivious to much of the struggle her family has shielded her from because of it. I consider this child fortunate to have been born into a loving and accepting family (I linked to a local incident above which was far from this image of family). Her mom simply decided to love her child as she was born. And her family has been the target of incidents of chargeable discrimination because of it. You can research the science of what transgender means or you can take that giant leap and actually talk to one. You'll find some incredible similarities if you are brave enough to talk to two or three (and live to tell the tale). I hear a lot of unoriginal jokes mocking the concept of a sexual identity. I would like to point out that trans people are not just deciding one day to be trans and, maybe in a few years they may decide to not be. To keep floating that type of ignorant notion is evidence there is a severe lack of education on this subject. There are dozens of scientific studies which almost all draw the same conclusions about the how and the why. You don't have to take my word for it. I would also add.. why would someone choose that life if they actually had a choice? If you could answer that, you'd be the first.

Quote:Life is tough. Disagreement isn't ignorance. I dont have to care. Tougher for some than others.. You propose the idea anyone can identify as anything on a whim. That's not disagreement. That's ignorance. And you're right. You don't have to care.

I do not agree with your solution.

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening. Quote:The difference is I don't deny violence against transgenders does not happen, and I do agree a problem exist. I do not agree with your solution.It's not my solution. It's just one I support. I assume you do not have an alternative proposal. You don't agree with allowing trans people to use the bathroom they're most comfortable with because of 'fears' and 'concerns.' You linked to Google searches to articles I had to read for you to verify their content (which proves you seemingly don't care to defend your stance). Your mind is made up regardless of any fact I pose to support the argument this solution does not have the boogeyman collateral damage you allude to occurring. You reject the statements of multiple government officials when they say these policies are not creating any increase in bathroom attacks. But are unable to dispute the validity of any of their statements. You don't deny trans people are targeted for violence for being who they are. You just don't care enough to really concern yourself with their fight (until you let people with agendas plant the notion allowing them to use the bathroom they feel comfortable with makes others unsafe - despite the facts. That's where the boogeyman comes in.). Fortunately, a number of people with more influence than you are not afraid to implement laws to protect them. I'm sorry your feelings on the matter give you irrational fears and concerns which you are incapable of justifying. I numbered a bunch of facts in an earlier post and linked to some decent articles. Feel free to not read those either. You can say you don't agree with something. But when someone asks you 'why?' and you do not produce any reason why, it's easy for others to not legitimize your fears and concerns too. Because as you pointed out, there is clearly a victim of regular violence on a global level. And it isn't imaginary women or children in bathrooms caught in the crossfire of a controversial law.

Quote:Well.. I know several including one that is in kindergarten, the child of a friend from high school. The kid was born male, but started showing signs around two that being born with boy parts does not mean that the child self identified as a boy. Gosh darn it. I was looking forward to a calm reasoned discussion and you had to say this. 1.) I do not condone random acts of violence against anyone, trans gay straight liberal conservative whatever. I think that we should be allowed to express our ideas and live in peace with all men. That's a basic tenant of the social contract. 2.) The idea that ANYONE would take the behavior of a two year old and subject that child to their post modern pseudo intellectual social engineering is a fundamental abomination. Kids are kids. they shouldn't be mixed up in this. Full mental development doesn't occur until the mid 20's. adult hormones don't start till they are two. The idea that you would cede the kind of cost risk analysis needed to undertake that kind of lifestyle choice to a two year old is ridiculous. To quote the senator "We have gone stark raving mad." As was stated before that you never acknowledged, we have developed a culture so perverse and so opposed to judging someone's TRUTH that when a sick woman went to a doctor claiming to be TRAN ABLED (Trans Blind) the doctor helped her poor drano into her eyes so that she could liver her TRUTH! Is that the kind of society you want to build. What if a young child identifies as a predator. Some show signs of necrophylia for their time of birth. Dahmer was playing with the remains of dead animals when other little kids were playing with trucks. When he became an adult he could only achieve arousal in the company of men that were dead or mutilated. he was BORN THAT WAY. Are we to condemn such a person to a life of bad sex? As a society are we bound to do whatever makes him feel comfortable? Should we subsidize the tenderizer he uses to soften the human flesh that he needs to consume? Well that's an extreme example right? The concept of a biologically male person thinking and believing they are female is extreme. In both instances the urges and compulsions are inbread. Does that make them inherently right? The failure of secular progressivism is the fundamental inability to separate itself from the fundamental premise that all NATURAL URGES are healthy and that its societies job to absolve the consequences.
and by the way, the entire thread you have been saying that all trans women are sexually gay. Now you decouple trans with sexuality. make up your mind. It's painfully obvious to anyone that you are willing to tap dance over all sides of the issue to fit your world view that anyone who is trans is TWO SPIRITED and should be worshipped by the ancient Egyptians.
The truth is, no one really cares where trans people make "ploppies" what we do care about is the collateral damage associated with an at will bathroom policy with crazy people of all stripes in the world. Is it so hard to get an id that validates a legitimate change of gender? Is it so hard to respect the privacy and comfort of the rest of the world. Is it so hard to respect the concerns of parents? Is it so hard to consider how your solutions will impact anyone but the TWO spirited? Oh i forgot... I'm talking to a member of the Drano crowd. have a nice day.

I was looking forward to a calm reasoned discussion and you had to say this.You were looking forward to a calm reasoned discussion? Since when has that ever been your style? 1. If this is true why do you continually mock trans people by floating asinine ideas of what you can "choose" to identify as on any given day? 2. None of what I am saying here is new to you. You know very well from previous posts on this child that the signs started at two and the decision to let the child live as the gender she self-identifies as was not taken lightly and took place over the course of several years. Once upon a time I offered to meet you in person to discuss the reality of what that family endured since you claimed I was making up things. That was before I knew you were a simple troll. You call it a lifestyle choice. But when I ask you WHY anyone would CHOOSE to live that way, you go brain dead. You are not capable of rationalizing WHY anyone WOULD choose to live that way, but are steadfast in believing it is a choice (remember that whole discussion on cognitive dissonance? You're doing it right here. If you reject this, prove me wrong.) The rest of your ramblings here just get dumb. A person cannot "identify" as blind. You can accept that a serial killer may show signs early in life, that maybe they are born that way, but LGBT people are making a choice (in consistent numbers across all races, religions and social classes). Why? You will never answer. You don't do answers. The concept of a biological male self identifying as a woman is extreme? It's actually quite common. This is not to say they look down and think their parts are not what they are. They feel they were born with the wrong parts. In their brain, they are a woman (or should have been). This is their reality. You CHOOSE not to accept it as legitimate, but admit you do not actually know any trans people and have rejected any action which might possibly give you any cause to alter your preconceived perceptions. You reject facts without openly challenging them. Nothing changes with you.

It's painfully obvious to anyone that you are willing to tap dance over all sides of the issue to fit your world view that anyone who is trans is TWO SPIRITED and should be worshipped by the ancient Egyptians. I decoupled self identity and sexual attraction in the case of a child. NO child should have more than a hint about their sexuality until they are a bit older. It is not surprising you could not grasp this. I stated it clearly. I'm not dancing around any statements I have made. Unlike you, I have the capacity to admit when I am mistaken. In order to do so, first I must be proven wrong. In order for you to make that happen, you will need to actually answer questions I pose instead of trolling without defending statements you make. Yes.. LGBT people have been around since ancient Egypt and yes.. Native American culture treated LGBT people as having special gifts (an intimate understanding of both the male and the female). Yes.. these primitive cultures are significantly more advanced than you. You mention collateral damage. Where is this happening exactly? I am a parent of little girl. Her safety and well being is my primary concern. I would respect fears and concerns of parents if they were rational. I argue they are not. Prove me wrong. It is not hard for me to consider how this will impact others. Because I have listed statistical evidence it isn't impacting others in any place except their imagination. Anything else you have for me? Answers would be preferable. Start with: Why would any person choose to be transgender? Since you are so convinced it is a "lifestyle choice" answering that should be a lay up. Oh.. I forgot. Even making toast is a challenge for you. I guess you should just keep spewing nonsense without using any facts to support your troll logic.

I am biologically engineered to be attracted to the twenty year old pumping gas in front of me.
It would be my choice to act on that urge and sleep with her and cheat on my wife. Moreover, the blind lady says hello http://www.barcroft.tv/body-Integrity-id...in-cleaner And goodbye to your credibility. Thanks for playing |
