ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[d34noj]

Are they really only that? I think you're sorely lacking in imagination, mate.

I mean in a 'Richard Attenborough' kind of way mate!

 

[bol-uk]

Im not so sure.

That's not a chap?

 

[canuckblue]

No, I know it's not passing any moral judgement on him. It's taking the piss for sleeping with a transexual. Thus clearly implying that there is something wrong with being transexual. Thus prejudicial.

It's the equivalent of a blind white guy in Mississippi in 1950 sleeping with a black girl. To mock him would imply there was something wrong with black people. you might think you're mocking the white guy - and, of course, you are - but you're also oppressing the black girl by going along with the idea that sleeping with her is somehow "wrong."

It's all about opinions, mate, and everyone has one. Yours is no more correct than anyone else's. But that's the main difference between the (moderate) left and right in this world. The left actually suppresses divergent opinion through its politically correct mindset, which leads them to believe that theirs is always the correct opinion. The right, on the other hand, welcomes debate. See Voltaire on this.
Just look at any university where a pro-Israel speaker or anti-Muslim speaker is scheduled. You'll have the left demonstrating en masse, at institutions of supposed free speech and higher learning. An anti-Israel or pro-Muslim speaker would be greeted with "meh" by most of the political right. (This of course, does not include the loonies on the far end of either side of the spectrum).
You don't like the jokes and jibes being directed at the ****e's manager, which is what this thread is really all about? Leave the thread and quit telling others what to think.

But but I don't want kids

 

[no way la]

But but I don't want kids

Go and have Brendan's sloppy seconds then mate with that chelsy bloke.

 

[Clint Planet]

But it isnt mate. Thats the point. There is more of a comedic quality than prejudicial.

I'm not saying that it's deliberately prejudicial, I'm saying it (unwittingly) implies there is something wrong with being a transexual. Which it clearly does.

 

[DrEFC]

Feck sake, the manager of our oldest & most historic rivals has allegedly slept with a well known scouse transgender. It's hilarious as a bit of gossip- if people start hating on Chelsey on this thread then by all means have a word- but otherwise leave it. When do we stop- if he slept with a genotypical & phenotypical female and took the piss, are we heterophobic? No one should be having a go at Ms Harwood bar to say the gossip could potentially ruin a mans family life.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Erm...is it possible to ram fake wallet without you noticing ? seriously?

 

[d34noj]

Sorry, I have to disagree. Not with your knowledge but you're interpretation of it. This has gone impressively off-topic now so I'll be brief. You are assigned gender at birth, and this gender cannot be changed (I agree). However, you're not necessarily born into the body that matches your gender. That's a transsexual. The physical and chemical changes do change your sex to match your gender.

I'm aware there's a counter argument to that, but what I've said is a very basic and probably not too eloquent summation of a strong argument that's rooted in subjectivity. I see where you're coming from, I just simply disagree.

Absolutely fine that you disagree mate - a public forum and all viewpoints are welcome!

There are actually records of transsexuals brain scans showing a female brain inside a male body which leads the question 'what makes you female, body or brain?' You obviously think brain as that's where you 'think' you're female - whereas I'd say physicality as that's what actually allows you to fulfil the purpose of being 'female'.

Anyway back on topic... Brenda eh the little scamp.

 

[d34noj]

That's not a chap?

Sure I can see a 'tuck-under'...

 

[Eggs]

......wait to see if its true.

 

[Clint Planet]

It's all about opinions, mate, and everyone has one. Yours is no more correct than anyone else's.

I'm not offering an opinion - I'm pointing out that it's oppressive to imply that there's something wrong with being a transexual. Whether you care about the transexual being oppressed is another matter. I do.

Do you think there IS something wrong with being a transexual? Because if you don't, you should be joining in with me and Caught.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I still think everyone would be finding this just as funny if she was a woman from birth

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Sorry Clint but I think you're protesting too much at this juncture

I believe caught is morally outraged, and fair play if so

I think you're trying to prod this into more of an argument than it needs to be

Just my opinion of course, I could be wrong, I could be right, I could be black, I could be white

I'm not as fixed on that opinion as it might seem, but I'm closer to it that yours I guess. I was responding to the point about it being a homosexual act, which I don't think is accurate.

But yes, Rodgers speaks poorly about football tactics and may or may not be a poor husband.
