It's akin to prosecuting a person who does not believe that the bread and wine are literally the body and blood of Christ.

The Trannish Inquisition?

I have been reading about this. I cannot see how it would stand up to appeal, but of course, I am not a lawyer. Because, how will the next judgement separate out gender identity with other identities? Are they going to then say that anyone who says they are a wolf (like the teacher in the US this week) is to be treated as a wolf and their pronouns etc are to be used?

Well quite. I identify as a princess, but no one is rushing to let me live in a palace. Why is that identity considered less valid than if I say I identify as a man?

Due to politicians thinking it s good idea and legislating for it. Basically thinking of men first and women and children not at all.

Its the usual bollocks separating people into two castes, the entitled and the unentitled.

Why does one group of people get to inflict their personal beliefs on others and force participation, but the other group's personal beliefs are to be set aside unconditionally and without protest?

It's the same as 'it's respectful and kind of YOU to play silly and complicated games with your language to submit to me and gratify me, but it's fine for me to entirely disrespectfully and unkindly ignore and reject YOUR language choices and treat you as if you're my paid support worker'.

Power. That's all it is.

How, historically speaking boys, girls, wolfs and others, does it tend to end when a group of people have undeserved power and status while making demands on an increasingly illtreated, fed up and much larger population?

If this stands beyond appeal then law has changed from being justice and equality to being just the weapon of the (currently) powerful and their personal narrative.

And it isn’t just a slap on the wrist fine. For most people this fine would be life altering. It would mean bankruptcy.

What would be the outcome here? That the man should be respected as a wolf?

Parents Outraged Over Fort Bragg Teacher Who Identifies as a Trans Wolf, 'Lilith Deathhowl'
The parents are upset that administrators have allowed him to engage in "disturbing behavior" that involves dressing in feminine clothing in class, as well as wearing a dog collar with fetish tags and an animal tail.
The letter also alleges that the teacher has involved children in his sexual fetishes by doing the following:

  • telling students he turns into a "wolf" at night – his fetish animal;
  • directing them to howl like wolves;
  • requiring them to call him by some of his online wolf character names;
  • requiring his students to address him by inaccurate female names and pronouns;
  • and telling the children he is "actually a woman" who "likes boys."

Parents reported that their children felt scared and anxious after the teacher flaunted his sexualized persona. One mother told Liberty Counsel that her daughter expressed fear, saying, "Mommy, I'm scared he's going to come eat me," referring to statements the teacher made about turning into a wolf at night. Another child reportedly said, "Mommy, Ms. Roxxie says he was born in a male's body, but he's actually a woman, but he likes boys!"Liberty Counsel's letter also lists several names the teacher purportedly uses, including "Roxxanne Wildheart," "Kiera Blackheart," "Lilith Deathhowl," "Captain Roxxie," "Artemis Deathhowl," "savagebeastqueen" and many other names.

What does he mean by this? Is he saying he's a paedophile?

It’s bollocks. The analogy with Christians is that just as I don’t believe in god, salvation etc etc, I accept that other people do genuinely believe that, in order to accept a person is transgender I only need to accept that the individual believes that they have a ‘gender identity’ which is different from their sex. I do not need to share their beliefs.

This is the key. The only proof of the existence of gender identity is that people exist who claim to have it. Which is no proof at all.

I do believe in GI as an expression of preference, though. It's the consequent legal and social effects I object to. They are nonsensical because they ignore important physiological facts (and their historic social consequences).

I know I'm just stating the bleeding obvious yet again, but I can't get over the fact that we even have to.

moto748e · 20/02/2026 14:28

It's some fucked-up society that sees nothing wroing with putting that wolf loon in a classroom of kids. Has all common-sense gone out of the window?

TheywontletmehavethenameIwant · 20/02/2026 14:41

It's just insane how the whole of the modern world ie the West has been hijacked by this bonkers cult, Tranada is even worse that NZ and Aus.

Human Rights legislation was suppose to protect the ordinary people from the excesses of a totalitarian government To reduce it to nothing more than a handmaiden to the excesses of a totalitarian ideology, that is completely made rubbish, is beyond a moral bankruptcy. The people responsible for this decision are intellectually broken beyond repair.

I know. But think about it even further. Even if gender identity is real and exists, why should anyone be compelled to believe in it? Gravity is real and exists, but there isn't a law forcing us to believe in it. Neither is there a law forcing us to believe that women are real, or gays are real, or whatever.

The only possible reason for compelling people to believe in gender identity is that it isn't true. If it was true, it wouldn't matter whether anyone believed in it or not.

I believe that a small number of people feel that their biological gender isn't how they feel about themselves. ie they are physically male be feel themselves to be female or visa versa.

I do believe a very tiny number of people think like that (particularly those brainwashed by gender stereotypes as kids), but I also truly believe that most (as in over 95%) of those claiming a gender identity are chancers who are using it as a way to get something they want.

From the judgement:
Transpeople are, by definition, people “whose gender identity does not align with the sex assigned to them at birth”: Hansman at para. 12. If a person elects not to “believe” that gender identity is separate from sex assigned at birth, then they do not “believe” in transpeople. This is a form of existential denial: Oger (No. 7) at para. 61. It is not, as Mr. Neufeld argues, akin to religious beliefs. A person does not need to believe in Christianity to accept that another person is Christian. However, to accept that a person is transgender, one must accept that their gender identity is different than their sex assigned at birth.

Deeply worrying. It superficially makes sense, but that last sentence is so ...what's the word...contingent? it assumes acceptance validity of terms like 'gender' 'gender identity' and 'sex assigned at birth'.

If you do not accept the validity of those concepts, you have no chance of justice.

This is a useful though shocking example of how a system of justice can be undermined by an ideology so pervasive that it can change the accepted meaning of words, biological facts etc. and penalise people who do not go along with the changes.

That is utter nonsense. I believe in gender identity in the sense that I believe some people have one. I, however, do not have a gender identity. I don't understand how me not having a gender identity or believing that not everyone has one means I am denying the existence of trans people. They exist. I've seen them. I just don't think they have changed sex.

"A person does not need to believe in Christianity to accept that another person is Christian. However, to accept that a person is transgender, one must accept that their gender identity is different than their sex assigned at birth."

This is absolutely ridiculous. I could equally say that as to accept that a person is a Christian one must accept that their soul has been saved by Jesus Christ. That's an integral part of being a Christian, so saying you don't believe in souls or Jesus is 'existential denial'. Why are you denying the existence of Christians, atheists?

Gender ideology is nonsense on stilts.

Edited

You just have to accept that they believe that their soul has been saved by Jesus. And you really can't argue about what other people believe, you have your beliefs and they have theirs. Of course if their beliefs cause them to do things that are a danger to themselves or others it becomes a police or mental health issue.

In the same way you have to accept the beliefs of someone who genuinely believes their biological sex is not how they identify inside you can disagree but you can't feel how they feel.

What does this even mean though - in what way does someone believe that they are ‘female’ without reference to their sex? (Without resorting to stereotypes if possible)

Genuine question, I have heard people say this, but I don’t understand what they mean

Someone I knew was one of a small number of people who believed the devil spoke directly to her out of a cloud of smoke emerging from her living room door.

A few weeks in patient care and an adjustment of her medication sent the devil packing.

Her belief was genuine and profound and life-changing, but the rest of us were not expected to share it.

What does feeling female mean? When that person is not a woman.

potpourree · 20/02/2026 15:13

Once again it's pretzel logic.
GC people have reacted to the suggestion that there are gender identities, and they are separate from sex, by saying "ok, it would be helpful to define gender identities so we know what differentiates a man and a woman under that system, but also let's keep things that are intended to relate to sex as that - relating to sex as separate from gender id".

It's the TRAs who keep insisting that their gender identity is their sex and needs to be treated as such.

I have rarely come across any TRA who wants to keep sex as sex and gender ID as gender ID. They are simultaneously separate and the same thing when it suits them.

TheywontletmehavethenameIwant · 20/02/2026 15:13

Gender is biological, it's a postmodernist construct.

Name one feeling that is unique to being female.
