AFAIK it's just being aware of the discrimination of minority groups coined originally by African Americans. To "stay Woke" is to be aware of potential discrimination happening around you.
Not sure why anyone would be against that.

That said, anyone who's spent any time in CA will know the word WOKE is catnip for bellends.
Amazing how many of them you can smoke out by just asking what the word means.

I usually attribute peoples angry use of this word to be a form of guilt or self awareness of their own low opinions.
 
Would even the concept of 'woke' (whatever it may actually be) exist if not for social media?
Is it not indicative of people having too much time on their hands and an instant platform to express their opinion (with a profound feeling that their opinion matters and the world should know about it).
The actual message gets amplified to the extreme (on both 'sides') and the 'debate ' becomes toxic.
Example -
I'd guess (or I'd like to think) the average person doesn't particularly care whether a man, who they don't know, has transitioned to a woman.
now social media take the story, pump out extreme versions like a male power lifter transitioning and competing as a woman. The far left claim 'yes, that's her right ', the far right then claim 'look, this is the liberals taking the world to hell in a hand cart'. The average man thinks 'well, i don't really care that much but it seems a bit daft that a 18 stone fella has been allowed to compete against women'
The far left shout 'facist' at the average man and Farage/Robinson and the other 'despicables' shout 'see, you can't even express your opinion, join us'
 
Didn't say I'd debated it on here. As for the ugly statement, as I said I don't care.

Trans women are men.

In frocks.



It's factually true, unless they've got hotpants on or something.
Guess people who adopt childen shouldn't call themselves parents, less they want to be abused by bigots like yourself who will try and hide their views behind a false devotion to biology.
 
JK Rowling tends to be used by the media as a means to deflect from news that would paint the 'trans' community in a bad light.

Just a couple of examples. The story was that she was that horrible that she attacked online the mermaids charity for trans people.

The real story was that she was calling that one of the people running it was a nonce.

Or recently it was a dispute with former harry potter actors on twitter.

The real story was that WPATH , (world professional association transgender health) had leaked messages where they admitted to knowing they haven't got research on the treatment they are giving kids and know that the kids they are treating as transgender are not old enough to understand it.

I think on subjects like this, people don't seem to realise that what they are basing their opinions on don't take into account the news they are not seeing that would possibly alter their viewpoint. As such is the case about the WPATH files.

So in my opinion, this whole woke discussion point is not based on anything other than what people are exposed to and manipulated to be exposed to on the internet. With algorithms everywhere and god knows what else, the information we see is controlled to an extent. Hence why the WPATH story was not featured but what jk Rowling thinks of harry potters thoughts was.

And to anyone who will most probably reply to this to tell me how wrong I am, on what basis are you really disagreeing with it over? Other than that it directly opposite to your own thoughts?
The basis that it is a very selective and limited response to portray a pespective on a far larger picture
