It’s like referring to humans as two legged humans every time because some humans have less than two legs.Just means that you identify as the same sex you were at birth. Not an insult or slight on your good character, despite what some might feel...
No problem. Only joking. Was funny, though.
Your mis-spelling, I mean. Not the backstory, obviously.
Interestingly enough, something similar happened to me one night but being in Thailand it involved someone throwing a grenade into the compound where I was renting a house. Part of an issue between the thrower and the owner apparently. So you have my sympathy :)
So why say it can confuse you when I asked how it's insulting? OddIt’s not remotely confusing but it is superfluous. The only soft lad getting upset however appears to be yourself.
In fact there are more people with less than the full quota of two legs than there are trans.
Not sure if you quoted my post on purpose as you quoted two, but the principal issue with the higher end of the judiciary is that it can only be drawn from a very narrow field. Almost exclusively former legal professionals (with the odd exception being from academia) the overwhelming majority having been practising barristers who one would expect to have done so for at least 25 years. It’s also rare for someone to go from practice straight to the High Court judiciary, with more becoming Circuit Judges for at least half a decade usually far longer before moving up. Again it’s highly unusual for someone to be appointed as a Court of Appeal Judge without having been a High Court Judge, once again for a period measured in relation to a decade. And there’s a further rung up the ladder to the Supreme Court (and I’ve even missed District and Tribunal Judges from that equation).You’re thinking is a bit basic here.
Totally agree that in general, positions like this will be filled by older people but this naturally brings with it a different way of thinking and different perspectives.
For example, if the Supreme Court was made up entirely of trans people I think it’s safe to say the decision would have been different even if they were equally as qualified and experienced.
I've always thought the gender argument was much larger than the actual problem, and generally advanced by people who are not affected.It’s like referring to humans as two legged humans every time because some humans have less than two legs.

I didn’t say it confused me. You quite clearly can’t read. I said “no one would be confused as to who you mean by you calling women/females, women/females”.So why say it can confuse you when I asked how it's insulting? Odd
Or referring to people as straight because some people are gay.It’s like referring to humans as two legged humans every time because some humans have less than two legs.
The trans issue which affects less than half a percent of the US population was in the top 5 reasons for voting in the last elections.I've always thought the gender argument was much larger than the actual problem, and generally advanced by people who are not affected.
The proverbial you, of course, and it still doesn't answer the question of how it would be insultingI didn’t say it confused me. You quite clearly can’t read. I said “no one would be confused as to who you mean by you calling women/females, women/females”.
The CIS is totally unnecessary there. They’re just women.
It’s insane the amount of coverage it gets.The trans issue which affects less than half a percent of the US population was in the top 5 reasons for voting in the last elections.
So fuck the world economy, at least some 17 year old trans girl can no longer compete for her universities third team at volleyball next week.
You’re dead right, the issue is blown out of all proportion and to the detriment of everyone.
Please don’t use that awful, loaded, weaponised word “cis”. It’s insulting to so many people.
Almost as if it's by design. Let's wind everyone up about something pointless so that they don't notice when we literally steal everything they've built over 100 years.It’s insane the amount of coverage it gets.
It's an issue that effects over 50% of the population.It’s insane the amount of coverage it gets.
I sim race in an esports team with a load of Americans with whom I speak to quite literally every day for 2-6 hours (yes I know) and a decent amount are from the deep red south. Politics comes up nearly daily and you’d be amazed how much more they care about the US trans issue than they do about the cessation of habeas corpus or a global recession caused by tariffs.It’s insane the amount of coverage it gets.
You mean steal women's rights?Almost as if it's by design. Let's wind everyone up about something pointless so that they don't notice when we literally steal everything they've built over 100 years.
So you're saying people don't identify with a different gender? Are they all lying?It's insulting to give a man or a woman a tag which infers they identify with the gender to which they are born into when anyone with any common sense knows that if you are born male you are a male, born female you are female. These tags are only a figment of the deluded to justify their claim that there are more than 2 genders.
No if people want to identify as being something different then that’s fine. That’s why we have women and trans-women as an example.So you're saying people don't identify with a different gender? Are they all lying?
Think I'll dip out of the thread cos I know I'm not being helpful, but please do see my previous message
But who's actually doing that outside of a context where it's a relevant detail? I can't say I've ever heard anyone using 'cis-gendered' outside of a conversation at least vaguely related to trans issues. Maybe I don't hang around with the same woke types as you.No if people want to identify as being something different then that’s fine. That’s why we have women and trans-women as an example.
What the vast vast majority of women don’t appreciate if having to add CIS in front of their gender to appease the 0.5% of people that don’t identify with their biological birth gender.
