Gender titles to be scrapped in Brighton.

[Zaras]

Because you have enough privilege to think this isn't important to you.

No, because politicians shouldn't be paid to sit around and talk about titles all day.

If politicians get this passed, they'll have more time to deal with more pressing issues. The only reason they might be stuck on it is because of certain people.

You have degenerated into meaningless posts with stuck up elitism without actually making an argument.

And you know this because...?

Rather than argue, you just make perceived, rather idiotic opinions about me.

You put in your signature things like "I support Ludwig von Mises" and then get angry at people for forming opinions about you? How does that work? And your opinions are somehow perfect because...?

[Delanshar]

Your autistic? Or Transgender?

You could try reading Steel Magnolia's signature...

I could. Whats your point.

[Des-Bal]

Dude, it's not my fucking job to educate you on transgenderism. Do it yourself.

But seriously, do you realise how stupid your post is? Do you think transgendered people consciously decide to become a minority that has been marginalised and mistreated for most of history and is still treated like shit in many ways today for the lulz?

And FFS, listen to Mav.

That was the point. If it's not a choice it's something concrete that's occurring in the mind.

[Souseiseki]

i'm going to guess that's because you've never had to seriously sit and choose between them

so in short, man who is not affected by what title is used doesn't see what titled is used is important. yawn.

If someone can't chose between them, they could just ignore it and move it. If you're not a man, don't go by mister. If you're not a woman, don't use misses or miss. If you are neither man or women, then just leave it blank. Nobody is going to give a shit.

I wasn't aware we were allowed to leave non-optional sections of government forms blank?

I guarantee you someone will give a shit/

[Mavorpen]

They don't.
You do realize that going by your use of general dictionaries, you concede that your opinion is purely subjective, right? Perfection is subjective. In other words, by choosing the general dictionary, you're admitting you're full of shit.

I was using a general term in one particular post every post prior and after was using defect in a fashion that would meet your definition. Speaking of I'd like to see the exact definition your using.

FABULOUS dodge of 95% of my post explaining that if you use the general dictionary, you're basically admitting that your view is subjective and therefore has no ground on absolute truth.

And therefore we should call them all crazy and treat them like inhuman monsters! </sarcasm>

Make them optional?

Please, stop using arguments from a scientific viewpoint (ie the brain) if you're not going to use medical definitions.

A sig isn't a post, smartass

Are you 100% sure you wouldn't complain about politicians wasting tax pounds if they passed a law making it optional?

Would be the ideal thing, really.

FABULOUS dodge of 95% of my post explaining that if you use the general dictionary, you're basically admitting that your view is subjective and therefore has no ground on absolute truth.

I didn't dodge it I'm telling you that in one instance I used defect in a different way. It has no bearing on any other post. Each and every other use of the word defect was in the medical sense. The point was when I said "something happening that shouldn't be is a defect" I wasn't using the medical definition.

[Des-Bal]

And therefore we should call them all crazy and treat them like inhuman monsters! </sarcasm>

Yes that's exactly what I'm saying. Exactly that.

[The Steel Magnolia]

My point is that you're proving my accusations that you frequently neglect to actually read posts.

A sig isn't a post smartass

And yet:

Your autistic? Or Transgender?

Transgendered, myself.

Whoops.

[Zaras]

If you can't be arsed to read a sig, it's reasonable to doubt whether you can be arsed to read posts.

[Zaras]

And therefore we should call them all crazy and treat them like inhuman monsters! </sarcasm>

Yes that's exactly what I'm saying. Exactly that.

Since you've called transgenderism a defect, yeah, you are saying they should be treated differently.

[Des-Bal]

If you can't be arsed to read a sig, it's reasonable to doubt whether you can be arsed to read posts.

The difference is that a post is expected to be immediately relevant a sig is applied to every post regardless of whether or not it's pertinent to the discussion at hand.

The point was when I said "something happening that shouldn't be is a defect" I wasn't using the medical definition.

So then you're wrong? Because if you look at any definition of the word defect, there is no specification on what is "imperfect" or what is "perfect." That is outlined by the word disorder where function is used as a "line in the sand."

[Delanshar]

A sig isn't a post smartass

And yet:

Transgendered, myself.

Whoops.

Yeah I read that, once you posted it. Just because I didn't see the importance of responding to it doesn't mean I didn't read it.

[Des-Bal]

Since you've called transgenderism a defect, yeah, you are saying they should be treated differently.

No I'm not. In fact the first thing I did was point out that defects are often benign.

Steel Magnolia's sig is pertinent to the discussion at hand.

[North California]

No, because politicians shouldn't be paid to sit around and talk about titles all day.

If politicians get this passed, they'll have more time to deal with more pressing issues. The only reason they might be stuck on it is because of certain people.

They could ignore it.

And you know this because...?

Instead of making an argument, you just I'm "blundering into a thread and I'm privileged"

You put in your signature things like "I support Ludwig von Mises" and then get angry at people for forming opinions about you? How does that work? And your opinions are somehow perfect because...?

What does my signature have to do with anything. I'm not mad that you formed an opinion, I'm mad that they are based off of nothing really other than that I don't agree with you on politics, which is rather shallow.

I never said my opinions are perfect, but at least I don't them in everyone's face and talk about how they don't know shit about taxes and British pounds.

[North California]

Make them optional?

Are you 100% sure you wouldn't complain about politicians wasting tax pounds if they passed a law making it optional?

Making it option is easier than banning the use of titles.

[Des-Bal]

Steel Magnolia's sig is pertinent to the discussion at hand.

But there's no reason to expect it to be so there's no reason to expect everyone to read it just in case.
