Apologies @Yellowtail on abridging and changing your format. 1977 went to sea and remained at sea for 38 years.

 

Came across a lot of gays (givers/takers), never a problem worked side by side and just like extreme views on religion & politics sexual preferences were never.  Raised in the UK my ambition were to sleep with an African lady, Oriental lady, South American lady and two ladies at the same time all done in two trips.  What my other leaning shipmates wanted/did were never spoken about.

 

Fast forward 40+ years and could not care less to see coloured flags in the streets, though when asked to donate, politely refuse and be called transphobic hurts. 

Telling them that UK beer prices for a 70yr old man is as hideous as his/her/him/them/their make-up, Trans hate/anger in return.  Try more humour that I am one of them, saying "I am Translender" they call me a 'fat old barsteward' 

 

Live and let live, schools are secular for a reason dividing education and religion from young minds.  Let all children grow up to the ages of 10+ that Santa does exist, Tooth fairies do visit them, a mums kiss on a cut takes away pain.  Do not start telling they are this, that or the other in school classrooms .

 

Leave children alone

One club many, years ago Reading, UK.   

Ladies toilet had condom and sanitary pad + tampon machines, men's toilets only condom and pad!!!  Spoke to one of the managers on the set-up only to be told that in the gent's cubicles "Dastardly" things would happen sometimes require one of the participants to purchase a pad.

Living surrounded with rice fields, 8 dogs half being GSD's is a different world to back then.

Don't transgenders love women/ men/ both? Then they fall under LGB.

For those who insist on going down the road to insanity, don't complain when sanity pushes back. You open yourselves to mockery.  If you are some brainwashed teen or young man who believes you can menstruate, you are probably overlooking a serious medical condition that will most likely kill you. And yet the radical progressives are dangerously encouraging you engage in this nonsensical behavior.  Darwin Awards abound.  Natural selection culls the weak and deranged.

When I was in the military I made several deployments.  Most people who weren't utterly homophobic knew who the gays were onboard, both guys and gals.  One the the gals I worked with was gay. It absolutely didn't impact her work. There was no problem.  Honestly, there was a lot of guys and gals banging each other on board.  It's a small community, most people knew.  Hell the same things were probably happening in the wardrooms.  You just kept it to yourself and then it wasn't an issue.  If the gays were banging each other they kept it under wraps as well as most hetero couples.  And if some people were getting a piece on the side, big deal.  When we got to Subic or Pattaya and other ports of call, we had the last laugh. This was all before "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

So honestly, Trump isn't going to end gays in the military.  However, in my own humble opinion, there is no place for men pretending to be women in the military. Up to this point the woke generals attempted to shove woke ideology down the throats of their combat troops - forcing the majority to accommodate a small minority.  That impacted US combat readiness and that is a recipe for disaster.  It makes a mockery of the institution.  And the majority of soldiers are not going to abide by it and then it becomes a problem.  And guess what you need in your combat forces?  Uniformity and trust. That breaks down when men are allowed to pretend they are women. It can't be allow. As far as gays who aren't activists?  Who cares as long as they are good at their professional duties. Don't advertise it and it isn't a problem.

SOGI vs. LGBT: Understanding the Difference

 

1. SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity)

SOGI is a broad, inclusive term that refers to all people’s sexual orientation and gender identity, not just those who are LGBTQ+. It is often used in legal, policy, and human rights contexts to promote equal rights and non-discrimination.

- Sexual Orientation (SO): Who a person is romantically or sexually attracted to (e.g., heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, asexual).

- Gender Identity (GI): A persons internal sense of their gender (e.g., male, female, non-binary, transgender).

SOGI applies to everyone, not just LGBTQ+ individuals. Even heterosexual and cisgender people have a sexual orientation and gender identity.

 

2. LGBT (or LGBTQIA+)

LGBT is a community-specific acronym representing people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and more. It specifically refers to non-heterosexual and non-cisgender individuals.

 

Why SOGI Matters

SOGI is used in international human rights discussions to ensure equal protection for everyone, rather than focusing solely on the LGBTQ+ community. Many governments, the UN, and organizations like Amnesty International use SOGI in anti-discrimination laws and policies.

 

Conclusion

- LGBT refers to a specific community of non-heterosexual and non-cisgender people.

- SOGI is a neutral, legal, and human rights framework that recognizes everyone’s sexual orientation and gender identity, including heterosexual and cisgender people.

I do not care.

I left the USA in 1979.

There are no Farang around here.

Most Chinese I know have never heard of LGBT..and...

They don't want to hear about it, either.

 

This is mostly a college-educated FARANG problem, I think.

 

And, to think it all began with....

No.  If the dispenser in the Women's toilet is empty, a woman can get a male to purchase one for her.

Trump seems to have a strange Village People fetish. 
Often those deep in the closet “object” the most.

Trump was groomed from a young age by his father’s lawyer who died of HIV AIDS.

He wears makeup, uses hair spray and a lot of fake tan.

All a bit too much of a coincidence for me.

 

 

The 'report' is another heavily biased opinion piece from the Telegraph, designed to appeal to the right audience—you know, the ones who still wish pitchforks were a thing (back in the good old days etc).

 

No one was ever asking for special treatment, just to be treated with some dignity, not marginalised, victimised and to have some of the same rights as other citizens.

So what, why does that bother people? They're different: so what?

 

A few years ago, no one cared about trans people.

 

It's been the rise of popularism, led by right wing bigots, and supported by enough dumb people that's put trans people in the firing line, and made the T in LGBT a thing.

 

Approximately 0.6 of the US population identifies as trans. Real threat, eh?

 

The amount of time and effort put into this is stupid and disproportionate. But who needs sense when stupid means we can have fun being hateful.

Comedy account.

I suspect those who constantly express a fear of transgenders in the ladies toilet are the sort when, in the public gents, when faced with a female toilet attendant, either flee in terror, or consider it an excuse to masturbate. She's in a skirt, right, so therefore its a sexual situation whenever an man and a woman are near each other. This is the Mike Penceway of thinking (he would not be in the presence of a woman unless his wife was present, presumably because he felt he could not suppress his lust).

 

They think when the ladies go to the bathroom in groups, they end up staring at each other's vulvas in the same way this mob associate a trip to the gents with a willy waving spectacle. I'd go with the theory that they are displaying suppressed homosexuality, in the same way a young JD Vance was told by his grandmother to go have sex with a man. They are probably intrigued by that transgender-female porn, when the transgender bloke with tits tries to have sex with a female. Its comedic, because usually his todger ain't working, on account of the hormones etc.
