Nope, guess I never added you. I only had like 10 contacts for the first few months. Then the trickling started. Feel free to msg me your Skype and I'll add you.

Please don't insult intelligence by trying to have a debate with Lono.
There are only two genders, but transgender people are real. It's on a spectrum though. Socially, I don't think everyone is completely masculine or completely feminine and since specific personality traits (along with physical features) are a lot of what we use to determine someone's gender at face value, I think it's okay to assume that the issue is not black and white.
Also people over exaggerate how many people are actually claiming to be NB or transgender. I think it's an easy way to make yourself feel superior by reducing the issue down to what a vocal and immature minority says.

I did say that, which is similar to why I said in my latest post. I think it's bullsh*t.

Try messaging me on Skype, I'll see if you have the right one. I made a new one after i stepped down because too many people I didn't care about added me over the previous 6 weeks and it seemed like the easiest way to get rid of them. Shrug.
there are 2 genders, yall need to move on with that other bs
why do people who express their actual feelings make you mad?
it makes no sense, and then they have the nerve to get mad at you for referring to them as the gender they appear to be, when nobody is trying to be insulting
what are you talking about, lono? is this not about transgender people in general?
regardless, you still said that you think people claiming to be different genders are "straight up dumb, and nothing will change that".

Honestly I don't support any of them. They're all rife with different breeds of incompetence in one way or another. I support a reform in the system, but that's never going to happen. Right now I support Conservative, but that's always subject to change. Given who is available amidst the eligible candidates, we're not really spoilt for choice, are we? A little bit of backlash in the form of liberal outrage will forever be a welcome sight too, I guess.
why do you support the conservatives? i haven't been able to wrap my head around why someone would vote for them
Well considering what happened today, you might want to start trying to figure out why. That wasn't supposed to be hostile if it comes across as such. When it comes to politics, it's very easy to get caught up inside an echo chamber - whether it's because you want to find a narrative to confirm your own agenda, or because you're outrightly sceptical of sources which promote stories from opposing views. If you were a bit more aware of the concerns the British population have right now, you'd understand that it's not necessarily that people support the Conservatives, it's that they have no faith in the Labour Party. They have pompously detached themselves from the grievances of the working class, and come across as insincere when they say they're the party of the people, yet constantly deny that people ever wanted Brexit.
aye, which is why i asked (o^-')b

i want to understand the political ideologies of conservative leaning people but dont know where to start.

I am so proud to be part of such a tolerant community which holds to exquisite high morals very dearly!

my stance: i don't believe in "infinite amount of genders, genders and sex are different" thingamabob. but i'll allow it, and i don't care if anyone wants to do it and i haven't/wouldn't treat anyone differently because of it. it's what i've been saying since page one.
some food for thought: transgender people kill themselves at a rate of roughly 43%. that doesn't mean u can't critique their ideology, but you should carefully consider the implications of what you're saying when you make posts like:
"there are only 2 genders. you guys need to move on from that other BS"
if you believe that, you must believe that transgender people are mentally ill, no? that generally means that you shouldn't make fun of them.
people who claim no gender usually don't like being called transgender last time i checked. either that, or there is no consistency in that community.
or maybe you're misinterpreting transgender (people who swap from male to female or vice versa) with no gender people or people who claim a third gender.
hm? there are different terms but people who claim to have no gender are usually genderqueer, IIRC. im under the impression your posts were talking about transgender people in general.
if yo actually read my posts, you would find the one where i said I'm accepting of them, and the post you called me out on was talking about the "genderqueer" people
you can't have a sensible discussion about gender identity on a thread curtailed from meetterry i don't know why you're trying
let people discuss what they wanna discuss ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i'm not stopping you
ahh i see! my b ◔_◔

i dont know any nonbinary people who would object to the idea that they fall under the transgender umbrella. lack of consistency is inevitable though when what we're talking about is labels, not actual gender identities.
