The pope says 'gender theory' causes divisions

[ArabellaScott]

'Peace requires respect for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Attempts to introduce new rights, which are not always acceptable, lead to instances of ideological colonization that create divisions rather than fostering peace, as in the case of gender theory.'

Yes, we must all be good meek women and agree with the pope. I apologise for being unladylike enough to have my own opinion.

So I think I've got it: gender identity is a feeling. I'm a woman and I can't know how all women feel so I can't have a gender identity unless it's the gender of a specific woman.
But a man can have a feeling that he is a woman without it being a specific woman because it's a feeling and he has a gender identity that is womanfeely.
Glad I've cleared that up.

Just checking, Prawn, you would agree with the pope that the earth is round?

We are quite enjoying your amusing contortions.

I thought gender ideology WAS a patriarchal religion?😉

I was not aware that it was the pope's original research that established this.

So, no, then? Ok...

Even better, im enjoying your amusing waffle about non universal authentic feelings.

True

A man can’t know he’s a woman any more than I can know I’m a giraffe or my husband can know he’s a 89 year old trapped in the body of a 48 year old. It’s literally impossible. You can’t change sex, and gender is a construct made up from a patchwork of stereotypes and societal expectations.

Clearly the pope was wrong. Here we all are discussing the subject with no division or ill feeling at all!

Catholics are not historically famous for being proponents of science.

I think you may have defined "authentic".

We could be wrong. We await further explanation from the prawn.

Yes, as I said, it's nice to be in an echo chamber, I can understand your reluctance to leave it.

Why are you putting "authentic" in quotes? I don't think that's a term I've used. Authentic what?

So the fact of the matter depends on who states it? If the pope says it, you won't agree but if Brian Cox (physicist, not actor) says it then you would concur?

Yes, I'm sure you're used to it. Sadly everyone can have their say here, as you are doing now.

No, I'm saying I don't really understand why you've gone off on a silly tangent about whether the earth is round or what it's relevance is. If I said I believed the earth was round, would this suddenly prove something about trans people? You seem to think so, so please enlighten me as to what, I know you're dying to.

Well done! The Golden Clownfish is yours.

I think there have been a few reputable catholic scientists actually.

Copernicus, Galileo..there's even a society of catholic scientists.

I'm sure you must realise that people are drawing analogous arguments and attempting to see if you, Prawn, can make the same responses. As a method of clarifying what is being discussed.

Here you go prawn.

Here's where you requested a worldwide search for an "authentic" female.
Which does not exist quantifiably, according to you.

Ampère? Roger Bacon? Mendel?
