you've been a mod for how long? don't you think it's time you cut loose a little? start deleting some bad threads. you'll probably only get one complaints thread, max. no one will care for more than a couple hours.
@Lono, if you think it's bullsh#t and you also don't want to think about what makes people transgender, then okay, whatever. But you should realize that the issue is a very sensitive one and that almost half of transgender people literally try to kill themselves. You should think critically about the topic before you write it off. But you're clearly not going to change.
round in circles? could you please elaborate? corbyn represents labour's true roots. blair pushed the labour party to the right

it's both of those things. we don't understand behavior enough to understand gender dysphoria objectively so Morgan and Lono are taking the role of new age atheist I don't believe what you believe and it's a big deal to me that you believe something different and I hate my parents
There are non-western cultures that recognize more than 2 genders. We tend to just put people in one box or the other, but that doesn't make it the Truth. Not everything is black or white, one thing or the other. If people want to identify themselves with something other than male or female, why not? In some cultures it's even engrained in the way of thinking of people.

you're inferring too much. that's the second time you tried to push mentally ill, i never claimed that nor do i think that is the case, it could be many things, that isn't what i'm trying to figure out. i'm not trying to get to the root of it, i'm just saying it's bullsh*t, and the reason people may be steering toward the bullsh*t is up in the air. i just don't care enough to try and fix it since it doesn't involve me, therefore i'm not trying to figure out why. the topic is here, and i normally have an opinion on it. i'm not raising banners or holding protests to get it to stop
I didn't say nonbinary people aren't real or don't exist. I'm saying that people exaggerate how many people are actually claiming to be those things. It's easy for people to see someone say "I'm dogkin" and assume that they're claiming to be a part of the nonbinary community.
You are either XX(female) or XY (male) biologically. In your head you can be whatever the f you want. If you wanna pretend you are an attack helicopter, feel free to do so, and nobody can stop u.
Why are you guys even talking about the gender thing. When are you going to realise that everyone in the debate has an unwavering stance on the matter? Get over it. Unless you're trolling, you're wasting your time.
yes, and what im saying is that you should consider your words more carefully in general, and especially consider what you think of people who claim to be a different gender.
if it is bullsh*t, does that mean that they are mentally ill? if so, is invalidating their feelings the right way to approach the situation?
Kerry, I rounded it off a bit towards the end. But I'd rather encourage you to find some information around it which is as neutral as possible. I mostly just think every party is incompetent but I do t want our country to go around in circles, so for the next few years I'll go with Theresa May. Her fracking policies are pretty grotesque though.
