Non-binary Sam Brinton in court soon

How did this thread stop being about what a weird and violating pervert Brinton is?

Not everything is about you either but you seem to be desperate for us all to toe your line with our words and delivery.

You think I come across as aggressive, I think you come across as patronising with an air of superiority here to tell us where we are all going wrong.

Your reading is entirely your reading.

The irony of that statement when you've been tone and speech policing across the board of late.

Nothing I can do about that. I'm not sure why you feel the need to be so aggressive?

Aggressive - that is entirely your reading.

It is abit of an unecessary and counter-productive side-line as far as I'm concerned. Skip my posts if they offend you, and I'll skip yours.

As far as I'm concerned it is unnecessary and counter-productive for you to continually police the tone and speech of posters on this Board.

And not everything is about you. I don't think i referenced you once anywhere. in fact, i'm not even aware of you up until now.

I thought I was just tired over the past two days. But since this morning I have been reading that thread 'Trans and losing my mind' again ... and I was having conversations in my head about if I was misinterpreting something about the thousands and thousands of posts from patient women over the past years that have been reasonable and objective. And where 'tone' was neutral or encouraging.

I thought it was just me missing something.

I'm not averse to endless repeats, not if it has the desired impact and outcome ( I used to be a teacher). Being reasonable and objective, as much as possible, in tone is important. Sometimes it is not the just the message but the way that it is delivered which can make the difference.

Persistence is key.

As you do seem to be on a mission to tone police all over this board@NotHavingIt do you realise just how patronising and smug you come across when you post comments such as the one above?

You speak to us as if were are still wet behind the ears on this subject.

FYI I have always been persistent and consistent and I use simple, straightforward language so the message is not lost. I do not and will not couch my words in flowery, fluffy verbiage, I will not apologise for saying the word 'No', or anything else clearly and distinctly.

There is nothing I detest more than using 20 words to say something when half that figure would be more than adequate.

You and me both lol

And .... you know that I have this thing about emotional manipulation attempts!

That said, I did not mean to sound so exhausted that you needed to assure me.

Oh good. Cos I wanted to blurt out, for fuck's sake please don't stop, but you know... I was worried it might sound a tad selfish 🤣

❤️

I've had a shirty stroppy morning. Generally I prefer a patient, deliberate approach but I've noticed I occasionally snap and fart snipe in sheer irritation.

I must say that you're better than me, as I resort frequently to sarcasm and mockery of the people making absurd, unsubstantiable claims.

Did we ever find out the third sex, or did the poster do a bunk?

Thank you Datun. You are one of those amazing women posting on here that I am constantly reading along and nodding. That said, I did not mean to sound so exhausted that you needed to assure me. I was just pointing out just how bloody long we have all been taking turns explaining patiently with Suggestions.

It feels like we could all just go back look our previous posts up and simply repost them.

It is exhausting Helle. Your painstaking unpicking and analysis of these misogynistic posts must take its toll.

I, for one, am incredibly grateful for your patience, and I know that as women realise what's going on, and join forces with us, more women come along curious to find out more about it.

Women who might be quite shocked at a man of Brinton's status being lauded for cross dressing, might google him and end up here. The start of a journey, which you always make more informative and illuminating.

Yes. It is a position I used to have until about three weeks ago. This month, I am exhausted and so too I notice are many others. The years take their toll unfortunately.

It is very repetitive. And often it is the same posters or different posters but the exact same tactics.

Definitely! Queer theory is a luxury pursuit largely confined and legible only to those on American University campuses. It has no interest or formula for true social change or justice, only in personal/individualistic creation.

If Brinton is convicted and sentenced to prison, which jail will he demand to be put in, and what will the authorities response be?

Psychologists have known for decades that paraphilias cluster.

It's also been established that there is very often a pattern of escalation around men who are aroused by non-consensual behaviour.

His desire to dominate women is extremely troubling and I an glad that he has been caught now. Hopefully he will get an appropriate sentence and appropriate psychological support that will put a stop to any further escalation.

His victims must be feeling incredibly violated, which is arguably exactly what he wanted and why he was so keen to flaunt the fact he stole their outfits.

That disdain is increasingly evident as we see Eddie Izzard being interviewed on American TV and being addressed as 'she' throughout - to excited applause from the audience; when we see the pre-eminence of drag on our screens and on our high streets; with men referring to the queens as 'she' even when off the stage.

It seriously grates and grinds the gears. That this appropriation is now applauded by those on the so called 'liberal left' makes it all the worse, as well as all the more prevalent.

The full on appropriation of which other grouping would the 'left' applaud? None!

The push back against women and women's rights is coming from all directions.

Brazen. Or stupid. Or convinced he was untouchable due to his specialness.

Or a combination.
