Current Affairs What is Woke ?

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

My old boss is 'transexual'/'transvestite'/ whatever it's perceived to be these days, he had 5 of his 'transsexual' friends raping his drugged wife, while he sat in the corner of the hotel room while he watched eating cake.

Forgive me if I fail to believe a word that 'community' says.

I hope you reported this to the police.

Good work btw @Kurt, it was low hanging fruit but someone had to pluck it

He was there, watching his boss eat cake.

No. I'd imagine there's a whole host of psychological and biological triggers that I am nowhere near qualified enough to generalise an entire segment of society.

Them being trans has no effect on me, so not sure why people get so angry about it.

It's weird how trans people have become this 'massive threat' to women this last few years when those now getting angry literally didn't know or care previously. But once the right wingers directed their culture wars in that particular direction, on the bandwagon we go....

If you thought I was being combative, then maybe the internet isn't for you. Why should I take what you say at face value when you've made genuinely conflicting statements that don't make sense to me?

Maybe a part of the friction is that JK Rowling is constantly offering her strong opinions (as I think she is free to do) on a platform where millions of the world's most opinionated people can freely respond. I know what I'd expect if I did the same

No, the problem was I inferred that Rowling and the Father Ted writer had been cancelled. Rowling was not because she is too big for that but she was vilified. It does not alter the point of the post, you simply chose to focus upon that error rather than the sentiment.

Anyway I shall leave it at that. I do know, in my experience as a Manager in a decent sized company that dealing with the issues arising from a member of staff deciding to change sex brings with it some very complicated situations and real concerns (this was male to female) for the other people employed in certain circumstances. Transitioning is a right, the choice should be fully respected, but it is not a right to go where you want or treat others how you want. It is particularly difficult when it is male to female and women quite rightly do not expect a person who is still a man to be in the bathroom. Just because you say you are a woman does not mean you actually are until post-op in my opinion. Lots of people would slaughter me for saying that and have slaughtered others.

Ok, well how has Graham Linehan been cancelled?

What cake was it ?

Navy?

I am supposed to be working Listen to him being interviewed about it. Dropped like a stone by the people who would usually commission him following his Trans opinion 'error.' As I said before, this behaviour arms vile people with an argument against 'Woke.'

What platforms would I be able to find this cancelled person being interviewed?

Thanks, I'll add him to the list of all the other cancelled people who are on every major platform in the world frequently expressing their forbidden opinions

Oh that is absolutely brilliant. He has had his livelihood removed and because he has had an interview aired on a platform you can put just about anything, it proves your point. I took delight in such brilliant debate when I was about 13 years of age as well.

You just said "they then cancel people like Rowling". But they don't?

So are you saying there should be some sort of legal mechanism or something to make her exempt from criticism then? Because that is now what you seem to have issue with. Help me understand

tut, I heard she had been cancelled but it turns out I didn't hear it. It really is that simple.
