Interesting essay which brings together the many different factors that have got us where we are now and nothing to do with far right funding.

You are making the categorical error of conflating identity with rights.

what are you doing? Are you not saying gender identity has rights?

There's this thing called 'anti discrimination laws' and they apply to religious beliefs. So no, material reality is not boss when it comes to the law.

Those laws apply to the belief in gender ideology as well: nobody can be discriminated against for believing in it. That doesn't mean that gender ideology is any truer than religious belief; they fall into the same category of "something some people believe, which has no basis in reality, and which other people cannot be compelled to believe".

Yes.

Straw man. No one is suggesting trans people change sex. The clue is in the name 'trans gender'.

Strawman is a logical fallacy where someone misrepresents, exaggerates, or oversimplifies an opponent's actual argument. They then attack this fake, weaker version instead of the real point, making it look like they successfully won the debate.

What is a gender if 'boy' and 'girl' aren't? What is it that a 'trans child' changes that makes them 'trans'?

Shouting strawman at every point is the defence of a strawman, but it in no way makes you look like you've successfully won the debate.

is a being a repetitive tedious brainless poster with nothing better to do than spout utter bollocks at women a masculine trait 🤔🤔

I find the threads Bailey is on make more sense if I skip over his posts entirely.
I can't be arsed to read all that bullshit and anyway, he makes my skin crawl.

You're right, trying to answer the disjointed ramblings, and pin down the slippery oik, is certainly an exercise in futility.

I'm a regret doing so.

Damn I was supposed to add a gif.

It can be hard to leave such obvious bollocks unchallenged. That's why if I see his name (after shuddering a bit) I scroll past. I really can't be arsed with him at all. He's disgusting

He is however an example of the opposition, so the more posts he makes the better able lurkers are to see what a load of codswallop the TRA's are posting. All part of Operation Let Them Speak.

Translation: What is & isn’t between your legs isn’t necessarily a rights trump card.

Yes it is.
