    Well, as we were just saying accusations of grooming (as accurately defined) are make believe as well.

    That's where society is, and arguably too much permissiveness brought it down this road. Ironically in catering to the few, we opened up this pandora's box. Now you have a score of people 'confused' about what their gender is and they're taught that it's perfectly natural to be confused. In reality, the nature is you are born with the biological sex that you have. Which is either one of two, male or female in the human ecosystem.

    There isn't a third, fourth or fifth. You're either male or female. A female has an ovary system, which men can't replicate and men have the testicle system which women also can't replicate. By accepting biological science, we can 'settle the debate'.

    It's easier. But the problem is that if people don't want to do as requested (label people as those people demanded to be labeled) then it's bordering on a criminal offense. This legislation has been rammed through and people have been borderline forced to adopt it without sufficient, if any consultation. My 2 cents.

    Progressives woke culture is the height of main streaming stupidity.

    Clearly first world problems, and a waste of time.

    Progressivism needs to go the way of the nazi, and fast.

    There are not 80 different pronouns however. Gender neutral covers each.

    There was a problem before — trans people have always existed — you just didn’t have to deal with it. It’s the same argument when gay people started demanding equal treatment, and women, and blacks.

    White religious men have never had any issues and they prefer the little world they have created over one that is more inclusive.

    Equality feels like discrimination when one has always had something structured to their own benefit.

    That's not very tolerant.

    Dude, I could find a doctor, even a few doctors, that align with any value or any concept you can think of.

    I could find professionals from really any industry that align with any ideological position created.

    Stop presenting your position like it's superior and backed by something that makes it more valid.

    The crazy people I have ever met are psychologists.

    We are sitting here in 2022 arguing about what pronouns people want to be identified as. What a luxury.

    You're right, I have zero tolerance for wokeism and really just progressivism in general.

    In general, they are ideological anomalies that have learned to scream the loudest with the most ridiculous positions.

    People are free to be *******s and refuse to have basic respect for others.

    I could call you Kimberly from now on and no one is going to come arrest me. It would just make be an ass.

    Now if I was doing it in a harassing manner action should be taken.

    Because they are children.... They're not transgender they are just young confused and impressionable.

    And they're not being coached by people who care about them they're being groomed by abusers

    I am guessing foreign kids trying to learn pronouns want to bash their head into the wall over this. Of course the problem will become in pretty short order calling kids by their preferred pronouns or even asking them will be outing kids so we have to come up with some universal gender neutral pronoun. When it does, I am totally Team Dude.

    Because children don't get to dictate the terms .. of pretty much anything. That's the way nature created the mammal. Withdrawing adult authority means exposing our young to early death. It's that simple.

    Children 'pick up' all sorts of hairbrained ideas. They only survive to adulthood because we .. THE GROWN UPS .. ensure they don't run with those ideas.

    I am not arguing anything — it doesn’t impact me one way of another. I look like a typical southern conservative guy and am usually armed so I doubt I will ever be harassed much less misgendered.

    That said my positions come from a place of harm reduction. It harms me in no way to call someone their preferred gender and it might make their day a tad easier.

    You do you though. Some people prefer a position of cruelty.

    Calling a minor a gender neutral pronoun will now lead to their early death? That’s… an interesting perspective

    Historically, a lot of these ideological anomalies have become commonplace. With conservative a**holes kicking and screaming about the need to change their ways.

    It's indeed a fantasy to that individual ... and it's of zero concern to anyone else. You can imagine yourself anything you like, but it's your private issue alone. No one else should or could be involved.

    So you believe that minors being called by their preferred pronoun is prepping them so a man can rape them?

    I haven’t heard this theory before but it aligns with all of your other theories.

    I have not heard your theory either. Don't try to sit here and create your own theory and try to project it on to me and tell me that's what I'm claiming

    Do you think there is a way to introduce this so conservatives don't feel outraged and attacked? It all feels a bit rushed and I suspect the backlash is only just beginning.

    How about she or he. And there's always the old favourite .. their freaking name.

    If he or she wants something else, that's his or her problem alone. No one else is obliged to be a cast member in his or her internal monologue.

    People have a right to be addressed in any manner they prefer, including sexual preference.

    Remind us again who has the problem with social acceptance.

    What idea do you believe requesting to be called by a gender neutral pronoun conveys?

    Adult mammals failing to be the authority figure and nipping juvenile silliness in the bud, gets young mammals killed.

    Possibly using definitions that are aligned with actual reality could help.
