Find these pieces of chromosomes then. Ah shit, no you can't since most brain don't have a gender. So is gender linked to biology or is it cultural and be amended?

I agree with Leonixion for once, fuck being treated like a woman, treat everyone the same, does sex, gender, race, etc. really matter? Just treat each other as people. That's what the world has to do. Problem is, humans are assholes. I'll admit I am an asshole sometimes too.

Honestly, OP could just rename the thread "What do you think about Transgender people?" instead of naming it after Desmond.

Using male pronouns for a biological male isn't a lack of respect.


Using male pronouns for a woman is a lack of respect, as has been repeatedly pointed out to you.

Probably doesn't help that last time this degenerate garbage came up more than a few were willing to defend it.

When you frame this kind of thing in terms of "this is LGBT rights fault and drag queens are bad for children", you're kind of manipulating LGBT people and their allies into a defensive position simply because you're treating this one story as reflective of all LGBT people. Which is what happened the first time, as well as this one. We're put in a position where we either have to throw some of our own under the bus to preserve our respectability in the face of bad faith actors or dig our heels in.

That's a good sentiment, but it's also very simplistic.

I’m sure you can enlighten us more.

Gender doesn't work with self-identification. Gender is given based on biological appearance. It's like race. No one choose to be white instead of black.

It's best to throw some people under the bus sometimes, you see. Or you could try and make a differentiation between those who are and those who aren't pedophiles.

If the complaint was solely towards Desmond being sexualized, there wouldn't be a debate or any reason for controversy... but OP isn't whining only about the sexualization. He is also whining about the drag and trans identity and "gender liberation", as if those were all somehow responsible on some level for the sexualization.

You've misunderstood what Liriena is saying. The say thread turned into a massive derailed shitstorm of people just blanket attacking LGBT people as a whole for the small group of people who are affiliated with Desmond.

I'll happily throw the group affiliated with Desmond under the bus because they're child abusers or supporting child abuse and its disgusting. But, like Liriena said, when people start attacking the entire LGBT community and all LGBT people as if we're one mind when the majority of us easily oppose Desmond's child abuse, then we're forced into a position of defending ourselves - not defending the act of Desmond dancing and being abused - but it gets misconstrued as defending that instead of defending ourselves.

Of course, but that takes a nuance and level-headedness that is hard to come up with when your opponent is already hurling overgeneralized accusations.

For some, perhaps, but that's why you think before you speak. Er, post. While it is obviously very easy to, instead of making a reasoned argument, defend child sexual abuse, any degree of care should prevent doing something as brainless as that.

Again, yes, its LGBT people and left-wingers defending him, cut them off. Throw them under the bus. But don't even try to tell me, for a second, that every single LGBT person and every single left-winger condones that behavior and that abuse.

Too many to count. Mostly his social media bees who defend him with the usual "YASSSS KWEEEN SLAAYYYYY" shit.

But I am willing to accept that it isn't a majority of the LGBT movement. Just too damn many of them, though.
Yes, yes, I get it. I'm racist and fascist because I disagree with you. Can we skip that part? I've heard it a million times before and I guarantee it won't be any different when you do it

I'm not. I just find it to be rather disturbing how many of them defend him.

But as I said, I am willing to accept it's not a majority.

Biological (natural) appearance. Not something doped with a HRT.
