The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

knighttof3: Trans people ARE thrusting themselves forward too much in public arena.

Uppity, aren't they?

This sounds similar to the way people talked about MLK, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and others who advocated for changes in the ways African Americans were treated.

knighttof3: In California the trans inmates have raped female prisoners are [sic] made them pregnant. This is unjust.

Link? I looked around but didn't find anything to substantiate your claim. I did find that of the more than 300 male inmates within the California prison system who identify as women and have requested to transfer to women's facilities, only one-in-ten applications have been approved.

Statistically, transgender and gendernonconforming (TGNC) inmates are 13 times more likely to be the victims of sexual assault than cisgender prisoners. Link below.

knighttof3: But it is ridiculous to have to remember everyone's pronouns. Again, being trans is your choice, but what people call you is their choice.

Another look at history: when whites called a black man 'boy,' was that okay because it was their choice?

Frankly, the grousing about pronouns is silly to me. When someone corrects me about a pronoun, I adapt. How hard is that?
