To have not lied to DS about trans actor in Last Christmas?

How would they know if a man had had genital surgery or not.

If my kids cut me off for believe that sex is real and matters, and that misogyny and homophobia are wrong, then I am afraid I will have to deal with it.

I will regard myself as an utter failure as a parent if so.

What is the difference between my beliefs since being a teenager (LGB rights matter, women's rights (sex based by definition) matter, treating people differently because of their skin colour is wrong) and your belief in wokeness, in your opinion?

They would probably take that choice away from you, tbh.

That particular poster made it clear that they believe after surgery. Just thought they’d made that view obvious.

Why should a lesbian get her panties in a bunch over what a trans person is described as or not?

So where do people draw the line in treating some men as women?

Is it if they have gender recognition certificate stating they are legally a woman ? - that doesn't require surgery or hormones.

Or is it some other measure?

Not naive at all. It simply doesn’t bother me one way or the other. Neither does colour blind casting, don’t really notice it. A performance is good or it isn’t.

I’m afraid people tend to lose me at “wokeness”.

I wouldn’t because I’m old enough to know that once children reach early adulthood, they’re far more likely to listen to many more people and ideas than just us or ours. They’re individuals. If they reach different conclusions to us about various things, that hardly makes us failures.

As for the paedophile scenario, I would be repulsed and want them away from society. I would not cut them off, though, no.

So are some females. But fwiw I experienced SA from actual men that weren't trans. I believe that if someone feels strongly that they are the wrong sex and goes through the horrendous surgery to achieve it they fully deserve to be called a woman. A man that just dresses like a woman is a drag artist. They've always been around.

I was talking generally, not about my children.

If I had a child who claimed to be trans and claimed to believe in gender ideology then I would be deeply unimpressed unless they were able to use logic reason and compassion to describe what it is to be trans and why gender ideology is a good thing (and based on 6 years of never evrer seeing anyone come close to defining trans in a meaningful way or explaining why TQ+ ideology is anything other than incoherent evil, I would fully expect them to fail).

I would tell them that they have a sexed body, they were not born in the wrong body, that trans is nothing more that the claim to be "trans", and that gender ideology is evil, and that if they support it they are homophobic, misogynistic, anti-safeguarding and pro child sterilisation based on false medical ideas. If they were unable to understand my viewpoint and recognize it's unbiased truth there'd be a problem.

I would never wish to cut them off.

I can't believe that you are so naive as not to understand that no shows "happen to have a trans actor" - they have a trans actor because the Director / writer / producer wish to push an ideology that I reject absolutely.

I hate TV or film that grates due to wokeness.

TV that involves Trans actors is TV that is pushing the ideology. That is the reality.

If there was a TV show about Roman London and there was a character who happened to be a black slave, or black soldier or ordinary black Roman I would have no issue.

But when I see Upper Class Georgian society portrayed as 30% black, or Roman Britian portrayed as a very mixed race society with loads of black native Brits it grates.

If I was aware that the latest hot new BBC crime drama was written by a white racist ethno-nationalist then I would avoid partly because I despise the BBC, and partly because I don't intend to support white racist ethno-nationalists, and partly because it is my assumption that white racist ethno-nationalists are not great screenwriters.

You’d cut your children off, if they identified as trans?

She’s very obviously said not?

Sometimes, of course. If I had a child who was an unrepentent convicted paedophile I would side with those who despise paedophiles and not my unrepentent convicted paedophile child.

But more than that I think that truth will always matter and truth must always win. I believe that my relationships with my kids need protecting long term, and short term lies to keep short term peace would undermine my long term attempts.

Also, I would regard myself as an utter failure as a parent if my child claimed that sex is not real and / or does not matter.

So are some females. But fwiw I experienced SA from actual men that weren't trans. I believe that if someone feels strongly that they are the wrong sex and goes through the horrendous surgery to achieve it they fully deserve to be called a woman. A man that just dresses like a woman is a drag artist. They've always been around.

This. Can’t believe someone would miss out on plays, films, tv because they happen to have a trans actor.
Do they apply the same to all of the arts and literature and avoid anything created by anyone whose views/opinions/ideology you disagree with?
That would result in a very empty life indeed.

Or is it just trans-people they object to?

How do you feel about the 90% of transwomen that retain their penis? Do they also fully deserve to be called a woman?

I know.

Reminds you of the parents who abandoned their gay children dying of aids doesnt it?

Beggars belief

I just can’t understand such a rigid mindset.

She'd be doing them a favour

I hope this hill shes dying on keeps her company in her latter years when she's inevitably alone.
