cradle, the 'hullabaloo' is from those who wish trans folk didn't exist. Very 'threatened' in so many ways in their lives, they strike out at others.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 8:37 amI haven't figured out the gender neutral bathroom hullabaloo yet. I know every public bathroom I use have these things called stalls. You can go in and take care of your business and go one your way.Peter Brown wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 7:35 amcradleandshoot wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 6:51 amThis is a line from the sequel to the Bellamy brothers song about that old hippieMDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 13, 2021 4:58 pmThis gender stuff seems ridiculous to us old foagies... I really struggle with it. Was on my Peloton a day or so ago and took a ride celebrating Sam Smith's music...familiar, great music IMO...but I'm not 'up' on all the celebrity stuff so was unaware of Sam's gender identity preferences...which was referred to a lot on the ride (PRIDE month)...pronouns 'they' and 'their' to describe Sam's gender preference.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Sun Jun 13, 2021 3:45 pmBIRTHING PEOPLE??

Like cows, moms are now just simply there for birthing.
Biden’s cabinet members this week called all moms ‘birthing people’. And instead of any of you putting a hard stop to woke madness, you’ll dig deep in your bag of liberal excuses to suggest this is no big deal.
Leftism is a mental illness. The good news is America will roundly bury leftism in the next two elections. Most Americans are still sane. You make Trump appear normal. Amazing.
Does this stuff actually matter? Well, apparently to those who wish to be accepted for who they are, instead of rejected, ridiculed, bullied...it does.
Doesn't make it any easier for us old foagies, but having two close friends/team mates with kids who have such gender preferences has been eye opening as to the issues and how they're dealing with them.
This wording change has been explained as an effort to recognize that some people who carry and give birth (what you and I would call 'mothers'!) may not identify as female, despite this biological birthing reality. Thus, the effort to use words that are more open, less gender specific, to any gender identity person who nevertheless does this activity "birthing".
Feels really clumsy or awkward, even jarring, to many of us, and I dare say to most of middle America. But it's very much 'sane' and considered. Like on a lot of issues, middle America is gonna be behind the curve, but they'll eventually catch up.
Of course, it is indeed more fodder for the right wing media world and this stuff, in aggregate, does have potential backlash implications politically.
But nah, it won't make Trump look 'sane'.
" He's and old hippie still adjusting to the change, just trying to find some balance in a world gone totally insane"
To those sentiments I can relate a 100%
The fundamental problem with liberals like our resident ‘lifetime Republican’ ( ) is they are so painfully, plaintively desperate for love and acceptance by the internet, they become comical caricatures of woke lunacy. If you’re so easily willing to exchange the term ‘birthing person’ for mom/mother, you’re really no different than the January 6 bozos. The internal desperation of all these people is sad, tbh.
Our gator troll says he thinks 'liberals' (apparently I'm one such) have "internal desperation"...full on projection, as with so much from these right wing bigots. Then he equates this "internal desperation" of 'liberals' with the insurrection of Jan 6...
