This is becoming absurd

What the hell are we doing in this country?

LINK: Claims by transgender schoolteacher (who wants to be called ‘they’) yield $60,000 settlement, agreement to create disciplinary rules regulating ‘pronoun usage’

"But Soell’s complaint alleged that failure to use the terms was “harassment” and discrimination, which is forbidden in privately owned workplaces as well as governmental ones. The New York City guidance likewise applies to such privately owned workplaces. And when the government is acting as sovereign, telling us what we must or must not say on pain of coercively imposed legal liability, the First Amendment is at full force. That force, I think, should preclude government commands that we start using new words — or radical grammatical modifications of old, familiar words — that convey government-favored messages about gender identity or anything else."

Seems to me that "it" would be more appropriate than "they"..

if you think you are teddy roosevelt - mental hospital


if you think you are a dolphin - mental hospital

if you think you are a woman - you are suddenly a hero and a mentor to today's society

it's a mental disorder, it's so obviously a mental disorder, but once again the enemies of freedom and justice in the world, the liberal left, is more concerned with touting their smugness than getting these people the mental help they so desperately need. it's a tragedy really.

That's why suicide is so prevalent in transgenders. It's not that their bullied it's that their brain is already messed up to begin with. Catelynn Jenner regent his sex change and he wants to go back to being a man.

Um no let me tell you why someone who wants to cut off his dick is totes sane

[cajunrevenge]

I am fine with calling people the name they prefer, but only if they are willing to do the same for me. It can go by "they" and I will go by "batman".

i find someone who goes and works in an office cube doing a job that is honestly pointless and hope for 7 to 14 days of vacation they don't even take cause they are scared they might get fired if they do and lose their "benefits" and do that their whole life to be totally insane

all depends on the perspective

absolutely true, and as an american I think you have the right to be as nutty as you want. HOWEVER, there isn't an entire group of people chastising and preaching at the other because we refuse to call someone batman. If someone wants to live as a woman, I gots no problem with it, but when you tell my I am required to find it normal,acceptable and even "heroic" or else I am a terrible monster "like hitler" then you are being a dogmatist and i should be able to punch you in the face with a baby holding a kitten, on fire and crapping ghost pepper sauce.

before i get to this post

Can I win a court case if people refuse to refer to me how I demand they do?

The fact that you're defending this garbage is hilarious

religion is the exact same thing. you are free to have one, believe wtvr god or gods you want, go to your churches, practice your rituals and if someone tries to stop you I would defend your right to do so, HOWEVER, if you suddenly think that your religious rites and beliefs should dictate policy to the rest of us, then we have a problem.

it really is the same thing. religion for the right, social justice tyranny on the left. two dogmatic belief systems unable to deal with rational thinking.

I identify as a dolphin, in particular a hector's dolphin and as such I demand to be called a dolphin,be provided with free land , accommodations and beachfront as merits an endangered species. I also demand my own bathroom in all public spaces.

And evolution after that.

[bravos4evr]

evolution is different, it is a scientific certainty with piles of evidence backing it up. religion and social justice stuff is all opinions and rights and other socio-political thins that can be debated. debating evolution is like debating gravity. sure you can quibble about minutiae, but the fundamental principle is solid.

We got a poster here making an early case for Rookie of the Year and we're only in May.

Yet, still a theory.
