Republicans make their case at Biden impeachment inquiry
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in World News
It isn’t an impeachment inquiry and can not be unless voted on and approved to be so by Congress. Its Republican Political Hackery. A circus for an audience of one. -

Transgenderism 'a mental health disorder'

We’ve had that correction already. Though while I’ve not done the Venn diagram, I suspect a considerable overlap. -
White House says impeachment inquiry 'based on lies'
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in World News
The Impeachment Inquiry is a lie, it isn’t an impeachment inquiry and can’t be unless voted on and approved by Congress. No such vote has taken place nor will it. https://www.justice.gov/d9/opinions/attachments/2020/01/20/2020-01-19-impeach-invest.pdf -
Transgenderism 'a mental health disorder'
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I think it’s a matter for the medical profession and parents to deal with. Not a matter for failing alt-right politicians to use in an attempt to gain some relevance. As you say there were children in your grade school who were on the gender spectrum, there always have been there always will be. These kids are in schools up and down the country right now and they are being used as political pawns by the Alt-Right. Patient se for a moment and ask yourself how this political posturing is impacting those kids. ‘Rock on Vivek!’ you say, cheering on his politicizing kids living extremely difficult lives while undoubtedly putting those kids at the center of Alt-right culture wars. The cynicism and hypocrisy disgusts me. -

Russell Brand and why the allegations took so long to surface
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in World News
As a father and a husband I much prefer information of who is accused of serious sex crimes not to be kept secret. If it came to a choice between that meaning I was identified despite being innocent or a member of my family being left at risk or worse because a suspect’s reputation has been protected, I’ll take my own risk above any to members of my family. Brand is English, he lives in England. In parents have a right to know if someone is accused of heinous crimes, victims have a right to know if someone has nee accused of heinous crimes. There is no law to protect Brand’s reputation from knowledge of these accusations, that’s a trade off but protecting people against sex offenders is far more important than protecting people against being identified as a suspect. Free speech and all that. Do I agree that their should be consequences for people and media making a direct accusation of Brand being a rapist, yes I do, but that cannot be used to protect anyone against accusations by victims. -

Go back and answer the question I asked you. Or maybe you really would not want to know that someone accused of serious sex crimes was living next door to you or teaching your kids until the police decide whether or not to charge. Difficult as that is to believe, it is a remote possibility. -
Transgenderism 'a mental health disorder'
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Why does anyone need to teach any kids that in Thailand. They see transgender people in every part of their daily life. Friends at school who are transgender, people in shops and business are transgender, TV personalities who are transgender, Transgender people are common and widely accepted in Thailand, children of all ages encounter them just as the rest of us encounter transgender people in our daily lives. -

But I’m guessing if your neighbor or a teacher of your children were accused of sex crimes you would want to be informed as soon as the allegations came to light. -

I’ve been in a number of Thai schools, I assure you transgender pupils are openly present. If you live in Thailand and are not aware of this I suggest you open your eyes. -

Let’s just nail down this ‘anonymity for those accused but not charged with sex offenses’. So if allegations of serious sexual offenses are made against your next door neighbor or a teacher of your children do you: A. Want to be informed as soon as the allegations are notified to the police, B. Happy to take the risk and wait until formal charges are brought. And If you want to be informed as soon as allegations are informed to the police, would you accept being gagged by the law from telling other neighbors/parents? -

You might want to look up the history of transgenders in Thailand, it goes back way before 100 years ago. -

Ask yourself this question. You run a business, a customer is accused of heinous crimes and wants to use your business as a platform from which to broadcast their defense (rational or otherwise). Do you allow this customer to do so or do you suspend their use of your business platform and tell them to come back when it’s all sorted? Your business, your choice.
