It's an interesting discussion.
A couple of decades ago when I was first separated from my husband I chose to be addressed as Ms rather than Mrs on the occasions the title needed to be used. The number of people who had a problem with that amazed me.
These days, of course, no one even gives that title a second thought. I chose it because I didn't feel as though I fitted into either of the other two categories.
Sometimes I wonder if transgender people might feel the same way. Some transgender people don't appear to want to identify with either gender and present rather as a combination of both.
I wonder if there was a third option to be identified by, rather than male or female, would they choose that?
And would that make people like Traveller happier or less happy?

Like the guy who goes to the shrink for his self diagnosed inferiority complex, and after severl sessions the doc says "you won't need to come see me anymore!" The guy says "you mean I'm cured?" The doc replied "no! It wasn't a complex, you are truly inferior!"

Don't be too sure about that. You have no idea of what I have seen and experienced. Truly, very people could even begin to imagine my life.

And you have no idea what what the rest of us have seen and experienced. You can't even begin to imagine our lives.. We are each a unique set of experiences.

Dragonlady, there is a gaping hole in your comeback. I am not getting personal by calling you arrogant, as you called me..
Nor am I saying any of our posters are "inflexible, close-minded and screwed up."
Neither did I say, "I hope for your sake that you are really, really old and that the changes coming to this country will really push you over the edge".
Nor did I say, that any of our posters are filled with "ire and hatred".
Neither did I say, "I make a character judgement" of anyone here.
I make statements about what I think, and how I feel. Many, many others including you, Dragonlady, make personal attacks. That is the difference between us.
Lastly, I have noticed a tendency for people , on this forum, to berate, and try to humiliate anyone who does not follow in lock-step with the political correctness platform. But, that does not bother me, for I understand that is what political correctness is all about, lock-step thinking. The left talks a lot about acceptance and inclusiveness, provided, of course, that everyone thinks the same way.
Or, as my Supervisor put it one time, "If common sense was common, everyone would have some, but that's not always the case. I would rather use the term, "having good sense." I always liked that. I didn't think he was smart enough to think of that quote himself. I always thought that he probably read that quote in either a book or magazine.
Oh, give it a shot anyway
Let's start with, saaaaaay..... environment

It was my original intent to talk abut the media and I happened to choose, as one example of many, their calling Bruce Jenner a "she".
Bruce Jenner is male and always will be. That is not just my opinion, it is a scientific fact.
No matter what some people choose to think, I don't hate Bruce Jenner. I feel sorry for him.
It was my intention to demonstrate that all of the MAJOR media are owned, lock, stock and barrel by the far left.
If we look at the news pieces of NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, The N.Y Times, and The Washington Post, we see a common thread. All of them hate conservatives with a passion. IMO they are in league with the far left and have been so for most of my lifetime.
There is a journalist by the name of Bernard Goldberg, who wrote two earthshaking books named "Bias" and followed that with "Arrogance".
In those two books he outlined, in specific detail, how the MAJOR media slants the news to suit the leftist agenda. If memory serves, Mr. Goldberg was once a top reporter for CBS News. You may remember him.
Mr. Goldberg, eventually quit working for CBS because he came to understand just how biased they really are and he could no longer stomach their twisting of the news.
There are two other supremely intelligent authors by the names of Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter. Both of those ladies have had a profound impact on my thinking and indeed on my life.
Anyone who is seriously interested in looking at the other side of the coin (there is another side, you know) I would strongly encourage them to read all of their books. Of course, if people are not willing to acknowledge that there just might be some truth in what they have to say, then just pretend those 3 authors do not exist.

I’m not sure how I missed this but YOU have no idea what my life has been like before you start recycling all this BS once more. If you were to experience the same things I have I can guarantee YOU would no longer be here. It’s literally a miracle that I’m still alive.
Perhaps be more careful what you assume about people .
Youre a very bitter man with a HUGE chip on your shoulder. Correction! A boulder.
Who the blank cares!!!!
Wow!!!
I had no idea!
No idea someone could be so impacted by the evil media
And live to tell about it
I’ll now try to get through this pathetic day of mine
Something to think about. Here in Ontario the government pays for the surgery from start to finish, some have a problem with their tax $$$ going toward this when on the other hand the government denied paying for surgery just yesterday for a woman that could have surgery preventing blindness.
Something not quite right here.

Actually Sunny the transgender topic is included in the grade school curriculum here in Ontario. That among other things of a sexual nature which has many parents upset who believe that it should be taught at home.
I’m not transgender or anything, not that it’s anybodys business, nor do I care about anyone else’s gender or sexual orientation and I might get boo’ed here but I think it’s a good idea to teach kids this stuff at an early age along with tolerance of other races and religions.
Was that a run on sentence or what? :lol:
It would better prepare kids for real life and perhaps take away some of the stigmas attached.
My husband is a manager of a company where one of the employees has gone through a sex change. When this person started at the plant they were a female employee. Now they are male in a male dominated plant.
Its a tough situation when they go to shower and change in the locker room but this is life and these people have a right to make these types of decisions regardless of anybody else’s opinion.

Keesha, agree that kids need to be taught but I question that the role of parents is being dismissed. Teaching a 5 year old sex could be a frightening topic without a parent. A better solution might be to include the parents in the discussion. Something along the lines of a teacher/parent/child get together.
Absolutely! Parents should definitely be included before the discussion even takes place.
It IS a sensitive topic after all and they are YOUR children. Yep! :thumbsup:

I'll just interject that I totally agree that there is media bias; that should be obvious to all. I would appreciate any news outlet just REPORTING the damn news without "spin."

The millions that watched the big three for generations has been disillusioned by the spin. I see why no one trusts any of them. The lead ins are just like current online newspaper headlines, they seldom reflect the actual story. Small local stations are still plugging along with good reporting. I change the channel when the national news comes on.
