  1. A bit of transphobic baiting right there in plain sight.
  2. It’s not the mind of the victim that determines the thoughts of the aggressor. I very much doubt there are many people exhibiting transphobia who are not also homophobic. I agree with the author here, ‘homophobia and transphobia are inextricably linked’. https://www.economist.com/open-future/2018/07/13/transphobia-and-homophobia-are-inextricably-linked
  3. Well done. Now how about your views on Feinstein remaining in her position at the Judiciary Committee because the Republicans had specifically stated they would block her replacement if she stepped down? https://www.npr.org/2023/04/18/1170624504/mcconnell-says-republicans-will-block-effort-to-replace-feinstein-on-judiciary-p
  4. And the links demonstrating torture does work? I say Feinstein was absolutely right challenging the CIA on this ineffectual barbarity, though of course the barbarity appeals to some.
  5. But I didn’t link to Wikipedia as evidence that CIA torture isn’t effective. I linked to an Wikipedia article on a Nazi interrogator who is recognized for the effectiveness of his methods that did not include torture. The Wikipedia article also includes references to the impact of his methods on modern interrogation techniques.
  6. Many societies have already drawn the line. Directing hatred against others is illegal in many societies.
  7. Pure unadulterated hatred. But like so many other cases of hate, the question arises what’s driving it?
  8. Cats with ginger fur and Dogs with Blue Eyes.
  9. Their mailing list will make interesting reading. Especially if cross referenced to the immigration police records.
  10. She continued in her position on the Senate Judiciary Committee where she enabled Biden via her vote to appoint Federal Judges. She continued despite health issues because, and only because, Republicans had stated categorically that if she stepped down they would block her replacement. When she didn’t give the Republicans the chance to do so, they attacked her with their usual bag of directed hatred. We will now witness the Republicans doing they only thing they know how to do, block and frustrate the elected administration.
  11. Reaches for Venn diagram. In the yellow circle People who hate people who are transgender. In the blue circle people who hate gay people. Now is there an overlap?
  12. That is of course a question. But once the dominoes start to topple they progress along up the line.
  13. Like you admit yourself, you don’t know a lot about her.
  14. Maybe giving out over a &Trillion in tax breaks to the hyper wealthy wasn’t such a good idea after-all. Isolationism never has been and always comes with extreme long term costs.
  15. Proxy war? You mean the illegal invasion of a sovereign nation by Russia?! Ukrainian patriots will fight for their country , Putin shills are happy to argue they should be sent to the front without weapons and ammunition.
  16. That’s not the only question Jonny. Comer has spent months digging and produced zero evidence. The first question is therefore where’s your evidence Comer? Of course you might wish to believe Republicans have this evidence and are hiding it to protect Biden. Elsewhere you are complaining that others are making judgments without having seen evidence. Pause a while and think about that.
  17. I support the charity ‘Soldiers off the Streets’. Do you think I should stop making my monthly donation because I’m not actually housing a homeless soldier myself?
  18. The proof of life form is standard for all UK occupational pensions and arises from the legal duties on the pension Trustees to manage the pension and guard against fraud. Receiving the of roof of life form by regular mail can be problematic, but not necessarily a fault of the Thai Post Office. My advice is: Request the forms to be sent to you by email then complete and return by Thailand Post Office EMS service, which you can track and trace. Your proof of life form might require a witness signature who is not a relative. I would recommend Public Notary, Condominium Manager, Lawyer, Village Head or Licensed Professionals, preferably someone who can add an official stamp/seal or professional license number. Keep copies for your records. Of course the ideal solution would be emailing the documents in both directions but this may not be acceptable where hard signatures are required.
  19. I disagree with you on many things, but on this post I agree entirely and thank you for making the clear argument you have laid out. The only way any of us perceive anything at all is through our brains. I wonder how constantly distressing it must be for of a person to experience their brain perceiving their gender to be diametrically opposed to that of their body. And then to have their most personal experience of life turned into a political game play. Where on earth has some folk’s humanity gone?!
