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

[teawamutu]

The Guardian's rearguard action on reality continues. Apparently the problem is not the parents and authorities who conspired to lie to this boy, coddle his delusions, disadvantage all girls around him in the service of his own wishful thinking etc etc etc: it's definitely the people who pointed it out:

I am prepared to feel a little sorry for the kid, who couldn't have been exposed like this if the useful idiots around him had done their fucking jobs. But the Grauniad can fuck off with the tired 'beee kiiiind' shit as a solution. Been there, binned the t-shirt. We want our shit back.

A man recently amputated his own legs to satisfy his fetish, popping a few hormone pills and wearing a dress pales in comparison. Some men will go to extreme lengths.

So “she” has a penis. Probably a working one. I don’t want a working penis in women’s spaces. It’s a hard boundary. I’m allowed to set it.

You are not allowed to breach it on my behalf.

I don't think it's that simple. There are many, many types of minds. Some are good at maths. Some are good at art. Some are good at both. People are so varied, why is it so hard to believe that someone might, in their mind, really and truly feel that they are the other sex, even if, for most people, there's no conflict between their identity and their body?

The anaconda would eat the gerbils if left in their enclosure. Oh hold on a minute maybe this is a very good analogy. What might happen if a man is left in a women’s space?

Which has nothing to do with anything, but shows your prejudice by bringing it up. No one has said we’re forced to agree with any religion except yours - the religion of gender ideology.

It depends what country you're in, doesn't it? In the UK now, trans people have to use the loo or changing room that accords with their sex assigned at birth. In the place where that story took place, that's obviously not the case. Of course I cannot breach the boundary on your behalf. I'm not sure what that means or how I would go about that. The things I'm saying are purely my opinions. I'm aware they carry no weight in law.

My friend thinks the genes from their mum and dad have got mixed up and that's how they end up trans.

They can feel that they are the other sex all they like. But they are not. That is simply a fact.

There are people out there who truly believe they’re Jesus or Napoleon or Cleopatra reincarnated too. Don’t believe them too? If not, why not?

You said that you're not forced to follow that ways of God, and I pointed out that you live in a society that does follow them in many ways.

I am not prejudiced against anyone.

Hmm. Well, I'm not sure I believe in reincarnation, but if I did, someone would have to be them, wouldn't they?

😂😂😂

Not at all. If the anaconda was really a gerbil, of course it wouldn't eat gerbils.

Can I just say once again, that the anaconda/gerbil analogy was NOT started by me.

Okay, so taking reincarnation out of it, do you believe the people who believe they are Jesus and Napoleon right now in the flesh or is it only the opposite sex that you think people can feel their way into being?

Basically, do you accept that people can be mentally ill and that can lead to them genuinely feeling they’re something they’re not or not? If you do accept that what makes trans identities any different that believing you’re the queen of England or the Holy Ghost?

It’s a mystery!

Of course men shouldn't be in there.

By saying men who pretend to be women can be in women’s spaces, you break my boundary that says no man can be in a women’s single sex space.

I don't know why it's so very hard to believe that sometimes the brain and the body don't match up.

Try consulting Professor Cordelia Fine, award-winning author of Testosterone Rex and Delusions Of Gender for exactly why that is utter bollocks.

Or Professor Lord Robert Winston, if you'd prefer.

The brain and the body cannot fail to "match up" because the brain is part of the body and influenced by everything that happens to the body.

We aren't brains walking in a meat suit.

You do realise that Trans people aren't any different from anyone else right? They can be both criminals and Trans.

Well, you can't really take reincarnation out of it when the whole reason they believe they are X person is because of reincarnation.

While I would be very surprised if they are the reincarnation of Jesus/Napoleon etc., I can't rule it out completely. I cannot know for certain if reincarnation is real or not. Just like nobody can rule out the existence of God. Or gods.

Yes, I believe people can ne mentally ill enough to believe they are someone else. But that's not actually a belief. It's a fact that people can be mentally ill enough to do that.

Being trans is not a mental illness, though.

There are lots of different types of girls and women. Cis, demi-girl, non-binary, and lots of others.

All I can think is that we're going to need a lot of new toilet spaces. A lot.

Interesting that trans girls and womwn are trans girls and women because they say so.
Yet women are cis women because you say so.

Its the same hypocritical BS as this "transgirl" just wants to live in peace yet he is taking over girl's sporting events.

But you have carried it on so well. You made me laugh, love the idea of the anaconda in the gerbil enclosure. Does he get to wear gerbil ears? Also how does he run on the wheel? Are anaconda’s quite big?

Any ways I feel sorry for the kid in the story. No one should write the things online to anyone of any age which are cruel. However his parents should have helped him more at 4 to love himself as he is not want to change himself. He is a boy. He can be an effeminate boy, a boy who wears dresses, takes on female characteristics but he cannot become a girl.

I hope he is able to grow and live a good life and if he wants to live as a woman once an adult fine but understand women’s sports will not be his place.

To be clear: Convicted rapists should not be locked up with female prisoners, in my view.
