Political Correctness

[sturg33]

In general, just the ability to fully live their lives as the gender they identify with. Restrictive policies regarding things like bathrooms, athletics and some other miscellaneous things where they’re forced to act in a manner inconsistent with who they are.

Is there a.line here? I was probably good enough to play girls college basketball... Can I just say I'm a woman and keep my career going?

 

[sturg33]

Are there universal truths anymore?

The left is no longer the party of science

Show me some evidence of men living as women simply in order to gain an athletic advantage and maybe we can talk.

How dare you make me prove that I'm not actually a woman!

There aren’t people out there just throwing on a ****ing wig to play basketball. You’re using a hypothetical scenario to endorse discrimination. If you’re curious, I’d absolutely be fine with that happening if it meant actual transgendered people would be less likely to face barriers to living as they are.

 

[sturg33]

It's ridiculous that you're saying my position of not letting a testosterone filled dude compete in a women's race is discrimination.

That's literally all the left can do. Racism, Nazi, homophobia, etc.

Have you ever thought that maybe my position is genuine, based on science, and is not just sturg33 discriminating against the oppressed?

When you start arguing that maybe you should have just played women’s basketball, you’re certainly not arguing in good faith.

That was taking your logic to the extreme to show the holes.

Where is the line? Can people think whatever they want without it being considered a mental illness?

Because **** nuance.

 

[Julio3000]

Well, this conversation has gone in an entirely predictable direction.

 

[sturg33]

Because **** nuance.

I asked you where the line was and you were unwilling to draw it

 

[Julio3000]

Just spend a few minutes reflecting on all the horribly bad and now-rejected ideas that were once considered universal truths and you might brush up against a mature, coherent take on this discussion.

 

[sturg33]

Julio, is your position that there are no longer biological genders?

Which, I think, exposed a weaker and less thoughtful argument...just that it's not his.

 

[thethe]

So being born with a penis doesn't make you a male?

Then my women's basketball example is not in serious.

IF that happened, what do you do?

"Biological" gender is not a thing.
