The only thing I asked was if you have a family. I wasn't asking for anything more than that. I can't see how anyone could get information about you based on that. That's terrible. I genuinely feel bad someone was such a weirdo that they would do that. I understand that you would be nervous about sharing given that. I do appreciate the heads up though. I never figured someone on here would go through the trouble of all of that..I guess I don't understand what they could possibly get out of it. Especially since it's simply a disagreement on a message board. I have a more informed option of why you are guarded. Happy Thanksgiving to you too
It's all good. I just hope you realize that there's no need to know details about people in order to understand the validity in their perspective. I get the whole being a parent changes one's perspective. But when it comes to judging another group of people - it shouldn't. We shouldn't judge based on fear, but facts. You see transgender as mentally ill. You see mentally ill people as a threat. There's multiple flaws in logic there, and there is also a level of bias. That's not meant to be a dismissive attack on you, but an honest statement. If I saw you as the enemy, I wouldn't engage with you. I don't need to post on this board to taunt or own anyone. I encourage anyone, including myself, to question what we think and the potential biases we have that are shaping our world view. It's common knowledge that I work in marketing here, but one of the most fascinating things about my job - it exists because people don't behave or see the world rationally. If people behaved logically - there would be no need for what I do. My job is to navigate the psychology of a target audience, understand their world view, their biases, the flaws in their thinking and what drives them, such that I can help my clients find ways to sell them products better. And even the logically driven - valued based people - have significant flaws in their thinking and biases. Nothing I write here is going to change your mind about transgenderism or any topic that is tied to strongly held beliefs. It's totally up to you to dig deeper and question what you think and try to truly understand why you think and feel the way you do. Very few people actually go down that road (although many claim they do).
Lol..... Is that "Let it go" she singing? Perfect song choice, woke people need to let go of their lunacy.....
I understand that. I didn't think it was an invasive question until you explained what happened to you. I just am protective of my daughter and don't agree with the lifestyle. I don't want a man in the restroom, dressing room, ect...it's not fair to her or any other female imo. You make a logical argument and I appreciate your insight and the respect is mutual. I wasn't aware. That sounds like a really cool and insightful work. I mean that genuinely. You won't change my mind but it's always good to talk to someone with a different perspective. You can always learn more and it helps to listen (or in this case read).
@AroundTheWorld @Salvy @GOATuve @Commodore @CrixusTheUndefeatedGaul like I said some people here watch Silence of the Lambs and think Jodie Foster is the bad guy
Woke vs reality https://nypost.com/2024/11/28/us-news/calif-art-teacher-dies-of-rabies-after-getting-bitten-by-bat/ Calif. art teacher, 60, dies of rabies after getting bitten by bat in classroom: ‘She didn’t wanna harm it’
Thanks for the kind words - it wasn't an invasive question as much as me pushing back against the idea that it was a pertinent question, if you follow me. Regardless, it's nice to actually have a discussion, respectfully disagree, and realize we don't have to hate one another. At the end of the day, the objective is the same - and I appreciate you taking that approach. That said, I do encourage you to look more into your view that a transgender woman is still a man. Are you getting trapped in semantics or constructions? Maybe something to mull as time goes on.
No problem and I understand. Completely agree. Nobody is going to agree on everything but being respectful to each other is important. That's the only way that you can have a conversation on the internet and in the real world. You obviously know that since you informed me of what you do. I think if they fully transition (I understand that's a difficult process) I would be completely ok with it. I'll look more into it so I can be more educated on the subject
Damn. I snorkeled around Devil's Crown, saw some of those sharks. Not sure I would do that again, although it was AMAZING, most magical snorkeling/diving I have ever done.
As weird as someone who creates a fake persona of some wealthy CEO who spends 20 hours a week on a nba team fan message board b****ing about leftists, Muslims and trans people?
To be fair you are on here every single time I log on. You are in no position to criticize anyone about internet activity. You live on here
