Re: Not enough Whisky for this Tango Foxtrot
I was not aware, but that changes nothing much, since I am always surrounded by people whose families suffered during the war and I make no assumptions about whether people have such connections or not. If your belief is that we are all human, then I share that, because obviously. But that does not ...

Re: Not enough Whisky for this Tango Foxtrot
"there are actually are no sides" We are talking about the Holocaust here. How can you say there are no sides in this context.

Re: Not enough Whisky for this Tango Foxtrot
And while there's no need for the bill she was defending, the idea that students could better understand the Holocaust in part by getting "the perspective of a German soldier" doesn't seem insane to me. There is a 1984 German film and a 2002 British film -- the latter starring Kenneth Bra...

Re: Not enough Whisky for this Tango Foxtrot
Hot take: if your definition of "the woke worldview" includes "trans people, and nonbinary and intersex people are not deviants or mentally ill people, just normal ones," disagreeing with it isn't really something to be proud of. I'll decide the things I'm proud of, and you deci...

Re: Not enough Whisky for this Tango Foxtrot
Rodia, I want to acknowledge your posts, but there is no point in arguing the issue. I don't subscribe to the woke worldview (or whatever word you would choose to characterize your viewpoint). I think it would be better if you talked about the world views YOU subscribe to instead of trying to dismi...

Re: Not enough Whisky for this Tango Foxtrot
Will add that for decades, doctors have performed gender assignment surgery at birth if you didn't look *quite* like you were "supposed" to - meaning that there were countless children who had their right to choose taken away by the medical establishment who seemed to not think that chang...

Re: Not enough Whisky for this Tango Foxtrot
As far as detransition, there's actually so many great ways to help people make the right choices regarding their gender. The first step is education, and not placing any stigma on gender-nonconformity, or being trans. Teaching children the truth: that trans people, and nonbinary and intersex people...

Re: Not enough Whisky for this Tango Foxtrot
It's not pro-child if it harms trans children. Consider that puberty blockers have and continue to be used on cis children when necessary- and the only time it's a concern is when they are used as a measure to improve a trans child's life. https://www.vice.com/en/article/epnzjk/no-one-had-a-problem-...

Re: Not enough Whisky for this Tango Foxtrot
The mandated sexual abuse is described just a couple of posts above in the image elengil posted. Indeed, the one you replied to when you quoted it. How can you even say anti-trans legislation can save children? If it is anti-trans then it is dedicated to hurting trans children. You cannot decide tha...

Re: Not enough Whisky for this Tango Foxtrot
The article can and should be dismissed as untrustworthy without reading. Frelga correctly described the host site as transphobic. "Welcome to Canadian Gender Report We’re a group of parents and professionals concerned about the medical transition of children, the introduction of gender identit...

Well, don't blame the religious people for that. The majority and minority both will always vote for someone who appears to be upholding the same values they do. I'd blame the candidates for lying about their faith. I asked the question sincerely, I didn't know it was such a huge factor in the US fo...

First thought: well, no one is being forced to participate. Second thought: isn't making this day official an imposition on the country's leaders to endorse prayer, and thus, religion? Hm, technically, being spiritual myself, I should believe that a religious government (hopefully matching my religi...

Honestly...I think it was already very clear from the intended arrivals that the world is in solidarity with us. We needed that, we felt it. We appreciate it. An important gesture in such a time- a gesture which might prove very significant politically. Because Poland often feels like the forgotten,...

It is strange, with 'the Reds' as you say. They came to our aid, in a way, they had a part in pushing the Nazis out. For many these were our brothers in arms. Only it soon transpired that the soviet plan was not at all to give us freedom but to take advantage of the situation. I'm glad you like the ...

Thank you so much for those, Mahima. I do appreciate seeing the support... Sorry I've been quiet. It's insane over here.

To most of you, it's ancient history already. That is the saddest thing. I'm young but I've caught the tail end of very bad days, and even that little gives me perspective which I am horrified to see many younger people do not have. At all. They glean the facts and then simplify, idealise... my fat...
