I hear they can also get pregnant and bring forth more trans babies.o_O


For some reason that reminds me of the recent story about two married gay women who had a baby and both were the real mommy. One of the women was impregnated and she carried the egg/baby for a short period of time then it was transferred to the other woman to carry to term. Voila, the child has two real moms.

Might not be the same one, but there's this too:

Nuclear DNA from one woman, mitochondrial DNA from a donor, and sperm DNA from the father. Kid'll probably be a space vampire or something by the end of it.

We are headed towards idiocracy, if anyone has seen the movie. END WELFARE PERIOD! We can still get rid of the cancer of society, all we need to do is cut welfare and natural selection will take its course.


Take its course, yes, but probably more like after the French Revolution, than what you envision.

The numbers will always be against your ilk.

Let 'em eat cake, eh Marie?

I wonder if the OP is concerned about the effects of other medical treatments?

Is he as concerned about say amputations and prosthetics? I mean here’s a bunch of people so carless they get a foot or leg blown off and then I’m supposed to pretend like a high tech peg leg makes them whole. And why do I have to give them the best parking spaces if they can walk on the prosthetics? I mean why are they getting special treatment for being so careless as to lose a limb?

It’s just another symptom of the end of western civilization. /s
Prosthetics restore their bodies. Prosthetically adding fin shaped limbs to help them swim doen’t mean they are now fish.

LOL. These people are a joke.

Period Poverty... o_O
What's wrong with the phrase "period poverty"? Its a bit trite yeah but plenty of kids struggle to buy sanitary products, particularly if they find it difficult to talk to their parents about this sort of thing.


How the fuck has providing free sanitary products in schools become the slightest bit controversial?

Because anything to do with female sexuality and anatomy is controversial in this country. The incel movement may have acquired a name just recently but it has always been here.
Indeed, see resistance to HPV vaccines, resistance to providing contraceptives for post-pubescent kids, general lack of sexual education, etc.

@UglyCasanova Any chance you could either edit your title or address some of the points raised now that the PDF has been posted?

Everyone complains about fake news so maybe everyone should do something to stop spreading it?

So, did the Daily Mail watch the South Park episode, and then just go off and pretend it was a real thing?

See I can almost follow the (misguided in my opinion) logic that people use in those arguments but this isn't even controversial to any group of people! Unless the "women should go into seclusion during their period" medieval thing is making a comeback!

Daily mail has always been like this. It's why certain people (me!) get pissed off when people use them as a source.
They are just a bunch of lying bastards who will post any old controversial bollocks to sell papers. They have no redeeming features as a news source at all!

I can't, the only justification that I can find for the lack of sexual education and contraceptives is that someone wants more poor, uneducated youths to perpetuate their dogma. The HPV thing I'll never understand.

Just thought it was kinda funny since this was a south park episode from the 90s.

Prosthetics improve their quaility of life.

Presenting as trans / surgery, etc improve the quality of life for people suffering from gender or body dysmorphia.

I support anyone’s right to make medical decisions for themselves and I have no problem with making the small concessions required for them to function in society.

I mean quite frankly handicap parking spaces are a bigger and more frequent concession I have to make since it impacts me every time I have to park. Trans people presenting as a different sex/gender than they were born to or society expected of them only impacts me by agreeing to call them by the name and pronoun they wish - which is basic fucking politeness.

I'm not saying I agree with them but people linking stuff about sex to other stuff about sex and thinking that the first stuff about sex is bad because they think everything about sex is bad has a certain internal logic (no one has ever said something can't be logical and bat shit insane! ). Whereas I can't see who would complain about children getting free sanitary products.

I don’t think it is fake news though, the arguments that the title is misleading are a stretch. The kids claim to identify as boys which is what the title says. To say no they’re not real boys, they’re transgender boys seems to be counter to what you’re arguing. If it said biological males then you’d have a point I guess. Unless you’re claiming transgenders that were born female aren’t really boys?

The title is inflating the non-issue to something for people to get upset over. The comments regarding transgenders makes up all of two lines out of the entire document, simply stating that yes, trans-gendered people exist, and if a person was born with female biology, they may have periods, even if they now identify as a male.

This isn't some big fucking deal to lose our minds over, honestly. It's a basic part of sex-ed, and human hygiene.

And that’s your opinion. The gravity of how much it matters doesn’t mean the title is inaccurate.

No, their logic is completely fucked on that as well. Because their reasoning is coming from a whole host of completely fucking dumb ideas from centuries ago. Plus they're blatant hypocrites when it comes that so they're just trying to sell/force their bullshit "logic" to others while they go and perve on teenage girls, rape, pay for sex while their wives are bedridden with illness (and on and on and on). D'oh, forgot pay pornstars to fuck you while your wife is home taking care of your kids.

Its because ceding this, legitimizes trans people, which they cannot have. There are only men and women, and they only have sex to procreate. Sexual organs lock your gender and that's what you are, and those organs are only there for procreation. Its all tied together. Which is why the other person was linking how fucked up their beliefs on this are because it directly relates to how they view sex and sexual organs in general; they are not for fun, they are there to make babies, and what sexual organs you have from birth define what role you'll have in society and that's final; if you are a woman and get your baby making bits removed you are evil and have gone against God's will to be used for procreation and that's the same as having an abortion; just like using condoms and other birth control is evil because if you're not having sex to procreate then its evil and wrong and so either get to having the babies or don't be fuckin).

That's how they think. Of course that's not how what 99% of them operate, but that's kinda the point. Its bullshit, and at this point is proven to not work and they fucking know it. But they have to try to keep forcing their shit on people however they can, because that too, is their way.

And yet, people like the OP exist to do exactly that. Look how much they insist that its liberals that are the ones making a fuss. Don't you see, if black and brown people would stop pointing out racism it wouldn't exist! If women would stop making a fuss, then it wouldn't be rape. If good little boys and girls would just accept that them having a weewee or a vajayjay dictates what they are, then we wouldn't need to make accomodations for these mentally ill persons. And if crazy people would just go off and be homeless, then we wouldn't have to pay for mental health facilities and treatment. And if the homeless could just stop being crazy and get a fucking job, then we wouldn't have homeless. And if the Mexicans would just stay in Mexico, we'd have jobs for all the crazy homeless people. Etc, etc, etc.

Western civilization. Gone in a such a brief moment. Destroyed by the discussion of menstruation in the city of Brighton & Hove. :(

These people fetishize "western civilization" to an absurd degree, but also thinks it will instantly collapse if transexuals use the "wrong" bathroom.. If it's that weak and fragile then western civilization isn't worth saving in my opinion.
