Guardian: weaponised emotional blackmail from 14yo 'trans' athlete

Oh damn it, I forgot to ask about the demi-horse/demi-bird. Maybe the demi-oracle can answer that one too?

It's nice to see Dumpy finally admit that they were spouting utter tripe.

As I've said many times already, if the anaconda is really a gerbil, of course it wouldn't eat gerbils

Until it got really really hungry. Because it's biologically designed to eat gerbils.

Are you sure? That didn’t end so well for Richard Gere.

These are EXCELLENT questions!

I will consult the demi-oracle.

I dunno.

I may have had some wine.

I want a gerbil now.

Hi, Dumpy, glad you're back.

Re your previous post

Since they are criminals who are convicted of rape, they've forfeited their right to be believed that they are who they say they are.

I'd really appreciate an answer to my questions I posted upthread, thanks:

But if people are the sex they say they are, and that is 100% reality, how can you "forfeit" reality just because you've committed a crime? Either it is or it isn't reality. Reality cannot be changed just because someone thinks it should.

So, which is it? Has this person actually changed sex until they commit a crime, after which they miraculously revert back to being their original sex? Or is the reality that they never changed sex in the first place?

I want whatever they are smoking please. With a soft padded cell for sleepies.

And if anacondas who identify as gerbils eat gerbils at the same rate as other anacondas should they still go in with the gerbils?

But how can we tell? If our reality is actually all in their minds, I'd really like to know how we can tell "genuine trans people" from "non-genuine trans people." It's important for me to be able to correctly identify what my actual reality is, or else how will I know if I'm living in reality or not?

I don't suppose we'll ever get a useful answer to this, but I live in hope.

In any event, it would be a lot more interesting than the usual "I'm still living in 2020" tripe that keeps being rolled out.

So, is Medusa a demi-girl or a demi-snake?
Also, the Minotaur: demi-boy or demi-bull?

Plus, why demi-girl/boy rather than demi-woman/man?

I DO wish we lived in a world where demi-gerbils, trans-condas, pans-condas, non-binary gerbils, and everyone else all lived and loved in harmony. Why shouldn't the tiger enjoy sewing, just because she has big clumsy claws and everyone says that sewing isn't something that tigers should ever do? Why should she be defined by her stripes? She didn't ask for them. And why should the bunny be sweet all the time, just because he looks harmless? He might be hiding a criminal mastermind under all that fluff. Looks can be deceptive.

Of course no 14 year old should have to read negativity about themselves in a newspaper. But then again, no 14 should be used by adults , which is what is clearly happening to this child, to promote lies .

Humans can not change sex.

Sex is not the same as gender.

A 14 year old boy on the point of puberty has no reason to run in a race for girls. If he wants to run competitively he should be running against other boys.

Ooh, waves to a fellow lexicographer! (Although I worked for Collins)

Ohhhh, no, the gerbils aren't bigots. They just don't believe the gerbilcondas, since some previous gerbilcondas have turned out to be plain old anacondas. And because gerbilcondas do look very much like anacondas, despite their attempts to dial back the snakiness.

Maybe the special people can grow one, like David Lammy and a cervix.

Or maybe there's a tombola of some kind - at this point, it's about as logical as the other gender guff.

@DumpyVictoria , someone's internal sense of gender is as relevant to the rest of society as their taste in music, their favourite colour, their Myer-Briggs result, how they scored on Are You A Good Friend in a Cosmopolitan quiz and their biorhythms chart.

They can have this belief, they can structure a persona around it, but it means absolutely nothing in the wider world.

Your reproductive system defines sex. That's not sexism, it's just physical fact. It has certain practical implications and "identifying as" something different doesn't change this, so there's no point in pretending about it. You have one sort or the other.

The rest is personality, which is as variable as human beings. Trying to shoehorn that into a system of "genders" is unnecessarily rigid thinking and arguably very sexist because it relies on matching people to stereotypes of masculinity and femininity and defining them by how they measure up. That's still true even if the person is defining themselves.

Transgerbils?? That's a new one 😂😂

I know! But we know nothing about the internal world of gerbils, except when it’s displayed on the Bluestocking threads and where I collate them on my Substack (https://myrtlelion.substack.com/). Currently they’re very excited about the Gerbil World Cup where they identify as elite sports gerbils.

Maybe they do feel like male gerbils, or anacondas? Or maybe anacondas identify as gerbils? We literally have no idea. And ascribing a sex to them based on their genitalia and which versions carry gerbil young is disgusting, sex-based bigotry.

"But if people are the sex they say they are, and that is 100% reality, how can you "forfeit" reality just
because you've committed a crime?"

Dumpy has decreed them to be the wrong kind of trans.

What the hell.. what on earth have I stumbled upon??

In the unlikely event that an anaconda told me that it was really a gerbil inside but had the wrong body, I would believe the anaconda. I would get the anaconda an appropriately-sized gerbil wheel and some gerbil friends. That would be the kind and humane way to treat a trans-gerbil, whether you believe the anaconda or not.
Transgerbils?? That's a new one 😂😂

I'd really like to read your considered answer to this, because it could clear up a lot of ambiguity, thanks.

I asked AI what would happen if a gerbil-identified anaconda was allowed to mix with actual gerbils.

It said:

The anaconda can identify as a gerbil, wear a tiny tracksuit, run on a wheel, and insist on being called “Ms Squeaky”—but it’s still an anaconda. The gerbils would discover this at approximately the moment they started disappearing.

The scorpion-and-frog analogy works rather well. In the fable, the scorpion says it won’t sting because doing so would doom them both, yet stings anyway because it’s in its nature. Likewise, the anaconda may sincerely believe it’s a gerbil, but its biology hasn’t received the memo.

The amusing twist is that the snake might not be acting maliciously at all:

“What happened to Giselle?”

“I don’t know. One minute we were discussing seed mixes, the next I felt peckish.”

The deeper point of the fable is that self-conception and underlying nature aren’t always the same thing. Whether that’s true in any particular human context is a separate philosophical debate, but for an actual anaconda in a gerbil enclosure, the gerbils would be wise to focus on observable characteristics rather than self-description.

As the surviving gerbils might put it:

“We support Gerbil Anaconda’s right to identify however it wishes. We are, however, concerned about the swallowing.” 🐍🐹

Who cares about the Gerbils? The Gerbils are bigots and deserve everything they get.
