[Patron]

Ah yes of course… segregation would be the solution certain folks on the board would suggest.

Nope. Playing it on thetruth suggesting trans-only gyms solve the problem. I think having a calm and understanding discussion with the individual about the gym policies is the answer… not creating segregated places for folks.

Have a look back in this thread… I didn’t say this individual should be allowed to workout there.

Aretha Franklin hit deemed ‘offensive’ by trans activists.
Now, 55 years after the single was released, it is being criticized by LGBTQ activists who have labeled the throaty ballad “offensive,” with one organization accusing it of helping to feed harmful anti-transgender stereotypes.
“There is no such thing as a ‘natural’ woman,” it continued. “This song has helped inspire acts of harm against transgender women. TCMA is requesting it is removed from Spotify & Apple Music.”

Do you mean the Carole King song?

It doesn’t matter since it was a joke that liisgo fell for. So much for doing your own research.

I don’t have any preconceived notions that transgender people are any more risk of being pedophiles or sex offenders or up to any nefarious activities than cisgender people. Imo, they are just people that wish to be a different gender than they were born as.

The trouble is, there are limits as to how they can live their lives as something other than they physiologically are. A male can wear female clothing, and makeup and act as a female, but if they still have a penis and all the other male attributes, then they are a male. Im fine to address them as female and treat them as female because - why not?

But I draw the line at sharing a bathroom or changeroom where i would not normally share space with a male, other than my husband.

And i really don’t think males have any right to criticize or challenge the views or feelings of females on this subject. If a female says they are uncomfortable with a situation involving a male, please be man enough to respect the female’s feelings. Enough with the mansplaining.

The LGBTQ activists are a little busy right now fighting other big fights.
If J. Trudeau and his followers could at least come to an agreed upon stance, like they seem to be pushing, that their is no such thing as a natural man or women, anymore, these people would not be effected by music, posters, words, advertising, etc. etc.
Come on JT, get some balls and make a decision. Oop's

That's the one.

It doesn’t matter… it’s a joke from a parody account. That you guys are all falling for it speaks volumes. As long as it suits your narrative, you don’t question it at all.

Interesting development:

The organization clarified later in a follow-up tweet that they were not, in fact, a parody account, but rather that they were trying to “make culture more fair for transgender individuals.”

Curiouser and curiouser.

Not that curious… they were just sticking to the joke to see how far they could push it.

Go look at the account… they’ve added “parody” to their bio and explained the whole purpose of the account. I linked to it earlier but you must not have looked at it…

I’m starting to feel embarrassed for you guys. I thought doing your own research was your thing and I’m trying to make it as easy as possible.

And the more recent news included the report of a follow up tweet claiming it was not satire. The link to the tweet doesn't work, so who knows.

This seems to illustrate how much of a minefield any discussion identity politics has become, rife with stereotyping and all sorts of silly bickering.
