White Supremacist Demonstration Outside Houston NAACP HQ

Saying "I'm a man" when you were born female means you identify as male, not that you're attempting to disagree with the existence of biology.

If it's not attempt to disagree with biology and one's own physical existence, what is it?

It's not an attempt to disagree. It's an actual sense of identity. Nobody is disagreeing with what their biological sex is, but they aren't accepting that their gender identity has to match up with it.

[Italios]

oh god these monosyllabic replies have totally changed my viewpoint. educate me about your ways. I'm fully and utterly convinced you're right.
I think in general, trying to mould your child's core identity to fit your politics, especially if it means you have to bring their nether regions into it, is bad parenting. It isn't okay.

I honestly don't see why it's now a bad thing for parents to try to guide their kids in the right direction. My parents try to guide me away from Christianity, I don't resent them for it, it is within their rights to try to make somebody better in their eyes.

However, guiding your child "in the right path" can be abusive in some circumstances. It's one thing to not bring your child to church and not celebrate religious holidays or pray or establish a religious household, it's another to do something like verbally or physically harm over religion. Same goes for gender identity.

It means your gender identity is your head, not your weewee, and that the idea of gender and its roles are shaped and influenced by society.

"Gender identity is your head"

You just proved me right.

Like the head of your... Well... That.

Huehuehue

That's not proving your point, that's making a "witty" joke.

[Yumyumsuppertime]

I don't know about anyone else but I'm still waiting for the peer reviewed evidence that it's all impossible and thus must be a choice.

We're going to be here for a while, then.

Even with the scare quotes, that didn't deserve "witty".

[Kamchastkia]

White people suck, like ew. This is so racist.

I'm assuming this is sarcasm.

I can't believe people advocate for classifying the entire BLM movement as a terrorist organisation and then make fun of far more racist groups like this.

I'm serious rn, like. White people need to control themselves.

I also suppose that they should also pay reparations for slavery?

Rip - humanity

Why do they need to 'control themselves'?

[Kelinfort]

Have you actually visited SPLC's site?

Yes and it's vile.

I know, right? I was hanging out with a bunch of white friends the other day and we were all partying and we whited out so hard (which is like blacking out, but lighter). When we came to, it turns out we ate a shitton of mayonnaise and binge-watched Friends afterwards. Our whiteness is a dangerous thing that needs to be controlled.

can you just say "BLM is totally racist and the WLM group has an actual justification for this demonstration" and be over with it?

Blacks are the antistocracy of America.

I think it's all about age and what sort of guidance is given. If you are 4 you should not make any moves to another sex.

[Vassenor]

But yes, this sort of thing is what happens when people get upset that everything in reality doesn't revolve around them.

A legacy of the Belgian colonial period is the overwhelming preference for huge blobs of mayonnaise on almost everything -- meat, fish, fried plantains, manioc, peas and salad are just a few examples.

Not medically, to be sure, but there's no harm in the child dressing in whichever clothes he or she feels more comfortable with, and using a preferred pronoun.

What're you talking about? Doctors totally perform full scale SRS on toddlers all the time!

Let me ask you a question. At the age of 4 did you or did you not know if you where a girl or a boy?

"And when you wake up, Bobby, you'll be Roberta just like you wanted! Now close your eyes and count backwards from ten like a good girl..."

I could recognize reality.

One time a four year old who was visiting our house with his parents who were family friends came up to me and asked me to help him zip up his fly after he used the bathroom because he couldn't do it. Totally natural and not at all uncomfortable with asking for help.

That didn't answer the question. Then again, you tend not to answer ones that might prove difficult.

Accidental double-post.

White Lives Don't Matter, they've been systemically suppressing indigeneous peoples like African-Americans for centuries! Why does their life matter when they are going around putting the indigenous peoples down for their own benefit???
