Dude, they’ve gone up 4,000% in 10 fricking years. Look at the number of pediatric gender clinics now vs 2007:



This problem is much, much worse than you think it is.

It’s so evilly manipulative and quite frankly homophobic. If you have a feminine son or a tomboy girl these gender theorists will openly say to the kids and their parents that they’re transgendered and that if we don’t transition the kid, then the kid will probably kill him/herself. Suicide likely has never gone through the kids mind, and then they plant that in there.

They sickeningly ask parents: “What would you rather have: a trans daughter or a dead son?” They should be asking “What would you rather have: a trans daughter or a gay son?” Ummm, gay son all fricking day.

It’s evil and the kids won’t forgive us. Five years from now, you’re going to have a teenage/20s suicide epidemic like we’ve never seen. We’re outright performing Nazi levels of experiments on our kids.

I’d argue that a time constant of change of hundreds of years doesn’t impact our ability to convey ideas effectively within a generation, but changing definitions of words suddenly and discontinuously, with political motivations, is bound to create a deep schism in our ability to foster a debate because we won’t be able to communicate our ideas clearly. I think this has already happened with words like “violence” and “racism” and it’s only getting worse.


Watch Matt Walsh’s “What is a Woman”. We’ve already arrived at the point where people can’t define what a woman is.

We have a sitting SCOTUS Justice who couldn't (read: wouldn't) define it under oath.

The world is a vampire
Sent to drain
Secret destroyers
Hold you up to the flame
And what do you get?
For your pain
Betrayed desires
And a piece of the game

Ridiculous. Did they change the definition of vaccine as well?


No, but I shite you not, they changed the definition of anti-vaxxer: Merriam-Webster

a person who opposes the use of vaccines or regulations mandating vaccination


So I a vaccinated person am now an anti-vaxxer because I believe in religious and body liberty. “My Body, My Choice” my aching arse.

I’d wager most people don’t think about it at all.

I only see hand-wringing about shite like this on this board, usually.

At the end of the day, who gives a flying frick. I haven’t picked up a dictionary in over 20 years since I was enrolled at LSU.


This is why you should give a flying frick:



quote:

I work everyday, make a decent living, and frick my wife after popping a viagra. That’s all I care about.


Then you’re a hedonistic frick that doesn’t give a frick about society at large.

quote:

If some fruits want to call themselves a girl then so fricking what. It has zero effect on my life. I’m over halfway on the time I have left on this earth, and I’m not going to spend it worrying about what other people do if it makes them happy


OK, let’s assume you have a kid. What happens one day when your daughter comes home, tells you that she and all her friends are actually trans, and that she wants a double mastectomy and be put on testosterone, because she’s uncomfortable in her body and if she doesn’t transition she is doomed to kill herself? When you ask her where her and her friends got that idea, she says her teacher and TikTok, and her teacher has also been providing her breast binders and referring to her by a male name. What happens when that happens to you, because it’s happened to thousands of parents.

I know this sounds insane, and it is, but there are thousands of teachers nationwide doing this to our kids. Once you realize the insanity and the world of shite we are in, even a selfish hedonist like you will be made to give a frick about this.

Which should have been completely disqualifying since there are many cases that will come before her where the person’s sex is a major factor.

Stupid white women is the point. Stupid white women flock slavishly toward whatever social media trend is before them. Captivate their attention for three seconds on TikTok with your political messaging, and you have their vote.

Stupid white women support the current thing.

So... You are early 40's and already using the blue pill? I can well imagine why gender definitions aren't your concern.. Especially what a man is.

Well some can see the political undertones that underlie the change and see this as a not so subtle form of erasing dissent on a contentious issue; and see the danger in letting language and definitions shift drastically in a relatively short time at the whims of a certain political wing.




Good for you. But there are words in which the definition evolves. A dictionary simply provides the definition to that word.

Gay used to mean happy right? Are you gay Ross?

You believe whatever some talking head tells you to believe so I am wasting my time, but its only as bad as you convince yourself it is.
