"Social transition" pushes sexist stereotypes onto everyone involved, even just for that reason it should be discouraged.

So, you haven't seen the poster, despite pictures of it being posted on this thread, along with Fred's photoshopped fake, but you pontificate and and speculate on what it's says.

Do you really not see how that destroys any credibility you claim to have?

I think you must have confused me with a different person Confused

The PoW's leader, Kellie-Jay has some closing remarks

And it’s a man who shouts “rubbish” at the end, neatly emphasising her point.

sorry boss, couldn't not

SinnerBoy · 02/07/2024 07:08

Oh yeah...

@SinnerBoy dear sweet summer child! I admire your optimism.

What?
So you think even adults don't choose to transition, other people do it for them?

I think you missed the point. Social transition can only happen when other people go along with it.

Free speech is the cornerstone of democracy

Sloejelly · 01/07/2024 19:50

You may be manipulating what "democracy" means here. It doesn't extend to running to twitter and throwing around abuse and hateful slurs because one was told off by a cop for something.

It absolutely does.

CrossPurposes · 01/07/2024 18:03

@Christinapple Images of the leaflet were posted very early in this thread.

TWETMIRF · 01/07/2024 17:56

Any concern for women when misogyny is posted through their letterbox from those pushing genderism? What about migrants when they get a Reform leaflet?

If you were really interested then you'd look at the leaflet as it's linked to in the OP. There is no mention of tranny or troon on it so no need for the smelling salts

Christinapple · 01/07/2024 17:51

All this means is Christinapple reported it. It seems they are quite comfortable with the undermining of democracy

What does this even mean anyway? If we're using "POW" as an example it just appears to means "let gender critical people talk shit about trans people". Right?

Some may also seem rather dismissive when transphobic hate and slurs are used. If a political candidate went online and used, for a hypothetical example, a homophobic slur or the N slur against black people, almost everyone would be in agreement they should not be a political candidate and should be investigated by police.

I haven't seen the leaflets so haven't taken part in that discussion. Did they have the slur "tr--n" or something like that on them? Did they use the word "tranny"? Was there a hint or implication on there that trans people are "only trans for perverse/sexual reasons"? I see the sort of things some people with gender critical beliefs sometimes say and some of it can come across a certain way and be seen as offensive.

I can't imagine how people who are actually trans or have trans family or friends may feel when this crap goes through their letterbox.

In your post that I replied to, you said:
I think its ridiculously arrogant to label parents like David Tennant, Emma Bunton etc as "abusers" because you've decided you know best about their family circumstances.

I believe Tennant's child is 9, which is in the age group referred to by Transgender Trend. So I think it's fair to comment on the likely outcome for his child brought about by social transition at that age.

Do you agree that transitioning pre-pubescent children is abuse?

I don't like the term "abuse" and especially not "profound abuse" because that implies an active choice on the part of the parents.

I think transition can be damaging; equally I think there is not enough research to know if social transition is an appropriate treatment for some children.

I think parents with gender distressed children must be having a very hard time and I'd prefer not to throw around terms like "abuse" when I know nothing about them or their circumstances.

Now I'm going to ask you a question. Do you think Angelina Jolie abused Shiloh by letting her live as "John" as a child?

CrossPurposes · 01/07/2024 15:37

I'm not a sensitive person generally but that link needed a warning!

Sorry. Thats what I think of when I think of "profound abuse"
Or Victoria Climbie. Or Baby P. Or Daniel Pelka. Or various other children who have been chronically neglected and murdered by people who should have loved them.

A 17 year old is socially transitioning themselves.

Nobody socially transitions themselves. It is impossible.

What?
So you think even adults don't choose to transition, other people do it for them?

OldCrone · 01/07/2024 16:24

CassieMaddox · 01/07/2024 13:58

If you read the whole thread you will see I asked about the ages of the "profound abuse" and PP confirmed they thought it applied to all people under 18 socially transitioning.

Another PP then said "social transition leads to medical transition" about my example of the 17 year oldboy socially transitioning.

The research talks about children who socially transition before adolescence. That is not applicable to the scenario I was describing.

It is quite a neat illustration of why i think "transitioning children is profound abuse" is a ridiculous statement though. It forces people to cling to an extreme black and white position

I don't know about that, but I can confirm her tweets are.

All this cringeworthy telling teacher on people does is make people utterly despise the people that do this.

It does nothing for what people call 'true trans' people.

So keep on keeping on, if that's what you want.
