Jingthing Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I thinks its fine to identify transgender people in the news. That's much better than the right wing movement in the US to make LGBT people especially transgender people invisible and act like they don't even exist. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a number of transgenders and they work in shops, bars, department stores and restaurants. They're generally seen as reliable. And you might want to rein-in the unnecessary trans slurs.

Oh for heaven’s sake. “Transgender person” and “ladyboy” are both perfectly good words. If, in coming years, “ladyboy” comes to be considered offensive, it won’t be because of directives from “extremist woke progressives” (??) but rather the natural evolution of language, which is an entirely organic process. Nobody “controls the way people speak,” neither progressives nor bigots who revel in deliberately insulting language. And while I agree with you that some efforts by university administrators and others to institute language policies are misguided and overbearing, they are usually well intentioned -- it’s not about “control” (control over whom, and for what purpose?) but about being inclusive and nonthreatening. Don’t misinterpret it. I make every effort to be woke -- in the actual meaning of the word, as originally used by abolitionists in the US and later by Marcus Garvey, Lead Belly, and many others others who were active in civil rights and other efforts. It means to be aware, and if another person’s circumstances aren’t identical to yours, to listen and try to understand. So why aren’t you woke? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because being woke now, is entirely different I meaning than the sort of woke you refer to. Being woke in today's world means being unconscious and under a hypnotic spell of the leftist extremists. Just one aspect of this disease: Ironically, the sexist woke movement has allowed men to take hormones and undergo surgery to become females—even as their immutable skeleton frames, muscularity, or organ characteristics ensure an unfair and asymmetrical contest. The lives of thousands of young female athletes will likely be diminished. Each sprinter, every swimmer, and all female pole-vaulters will now inevitably at some future date have a rendezvous with career implosion—defined by losing to a transgendered female/biological male. https://www.independent.org/news/article.asp?id=13968 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
