@Forgivenandsetfree there's some really sad stuff going on and I wish I could say that it will all be ok but with these things you can never tell. I do honestly think more and more people are seeing how destructive some of this is. I hope things work out for your friend.

My grandson is 21 and the other is 15 and both have been brought up to respect the rights of others, but they both really don't get what's going on. 15 year old said they had a few sessions on trans issues at school but he said he felt as though they couldn't ask questions and so he had felt embarrassed to talk about it at home. It wasn't until I asked what they both thought about these issues that we learned he'd felt he was being transphobic if he talked about it at all.

Don't know about you but I call that indoctrination

Forgivenandsetfree · 02/08/2020 23:03

@highame Yes it's really scary, like 1984, come to life! My ex used to say this all the time but as he was so outrageous with other conspiracy theories I was quite skeptical...
I was trying to explain it to my mum and step-dad, that I agree, a person can do whatever they please, but once they're attempting to stamp on others rights, especially those of us (women) who struggled hard to get these rights in the first place.. well, the gloves are off!

@DialSquare

Loved it! Although I think they have got confused on Gender is a social construct. They make it sound like that is said by the TRAs but I thought it was a feminist concept.
Yes I thought that? It is brilliant though. I shared the hell out of it. Was full sure they would take it down pronto!
KingOfDogShite · 03/08/2020 09:17

I wish I had the guts to share that on my Facebook!

ThrawnCow · 03/08/2020 09:21

Superb.

NonnyMouse1337 · 03/08/2020 12:19

Great video! I too wish I could share it on Facebook.

Wouldn't it be funny if a bat is a bat started to appear on the back of loo doors....

Maybe a silhouette of a bat with the slogan "cricket bats are bats."

This is a rap song about transgenderism and how a man cannot become a woman anymore than a man can become a bat.

The point: individuals are free to live their lives however they so desire – but biology cannot be overthrown.

Nowstrong · 03/08/2020 13:30

Excellent! Thank you!

Yes - "gender" is a social construct, but one which the genderists try to claim is reality and pretend (I doubt honestly believe) that sex is a mere construct.
Winesalot · 03/08/2020 14:09

sex is a mere construct.

I was sneeringly told how idiotic I was by a prominent Australian academic and one of her followers for failing to understand this very thing. They informed me that the language describing it was a mere construct, of course.

It was a surreal conversation that I am sure they believed was highly intelligent but it was arrogant, elitist, and completely detached from reality.

Bat signal! 🦇 !

Excellent.

Muttonindistress · 03/08/2020 14:29

I love the idea of a bat signal too. It could be a sort of GC logo to put on t-shirts, badges etc. I already have a pair of bat earrings. 🦇

DialSquare · 03/08/2020 14:38

Thanks Errol. That was my understanding. Just wasn't sure if that had now been appropriated too! Wouldn't be surprised if so as many of them don't seem to know their arse from their elbow.

The Batman bit made me proper lol

‘Batman is not a bat
He is a man
Dressed as a bat’
