Transgender stuff - what's going on?

Imagine thinking it’s okay to post that with ‘the implication’.

Why are you imagining things? Just argue your point. 

[Numero Veinticinco]

I’m not imagining anything. 
 

As for arguing my point, why would I do that? You posted a picture, why don’t you say what you think it proves?

"Cultural appropriation" is the nonsense neologism they'd use for Eminem, because wearing sports gear and talking over music is copyright of black people, or something.

Men dressed as women seem to get more protection than actual women now. That's Glib I know but some of the concerns JK Rowling pointed out are valid. Her having concerns doesn't make her hateful or ignorant. People automatically saying woman meaning someone born with a fanny and not woman meaning the all encompassing somebody who identifies as a woman doesn't make them an oppressor or a bigot. It's just default mode for most people. Everyone is learning and growing together, a bit of patience and understanding right across the board would be far more helpful for everybody than all out attack and defence. JK Rowling seems like a good person.

 

Who is the person whose opinions and views we are going to make the absolute guideline, the gospel that we all have to follow and abide too in order to have world peace and tranquillity. Opinions vary they will always vary, I seen no hate from JK to deserve such hate back. Like I said she seems like a decent human being.

 

Such a minefield gets laid down that people just avoid the thing all together and who does that help. Another divide for people to look across and point the finger.

Oh come on FFS. He was just about to say it.

Just heard Mrs Doubtfire is being dropped by all the major platforms.

There's profiting from something and being a part of something, the distinction isn't that oblique.

 

There are fights worth fighting.

It’s not my fight Bruce. I was just giving Section my support.

Started reading this thread from the beginning. It’s where Hades really started to show his true colours.

Saying to the person widely considered to be the best rapper of all time that he should ‘stick to indie and post grunge’ is one of the most ignorant posts I’ve seen on this forum, and when you consider Ardja’s posting history is a litany of ignorant posts, that’s saying something. Posting a picture of Eminem with the implication that he was ‘dressed like a black person’ is a close second.

I wonder if the black folk working in high powered roles, who have spent years battling systemic racism to be successful in their fields, would appreciate being told that they shouldn't wear suits like white people and that they should dress like blacks instead. I suspect they'd see that as something utterly, repulsiively racist.

Hip hop culture includes fashion, and whether you like it or not it is African American.
 

Also the bolded part is uncalled for. Just play the ball... I always try to be respectful (or at least civil) towards other posters.

Even for you that straw man is fucking pathetic.

Obama’s speech about ‘black kids with a book being told they’re acting white’ came to mind.

My brother lives in a proper jewish area here, and he’d genuinely be laughed out of the suburb if he walked out of his house one day wearing a yarmulke and a garb.

Because he’d look like a twat?

He doesn’t need the Jewish costume to look like a twat.

Straw man? It's literally what he said, but reversed.

Wouldn’t call it a costume to be fair. It’s religious attire isn’t it? And like most religious attire, it’s absolutely shite
