Because I was too lazy to get the remote, ended up watching The Great North. Worst show I've ever seen, the plot was essentially about a gay pagent to win an award for the town, and the guys were so homely they carved a fake guy out of wood.
But I think I caught an odd metaphor for maybe a real life problem. See, this boat was meant to follow a couple of guys on this dock who were supposed to be walking in perfect sync, but they ended up walking different speeds do the Captain said "Who am I supposed to follow, they're going at different speeds! Maybe the faster one!", and the boat crashes and decapitates the fake wooden man.
So the metaphor is the gay movement was out of sync and the fake wood man was clearly "trans", and his decapitation was symbolically gays cutting out the Trans movement that overshadowed them.
Yeah, lgb are definitely in an uneasy alliance with the T, I think a real war might happen, everything is geared towards Trans now.
I never saw it more than a mere child's play. We live, we die end of story. There is no war going on little man, there's enough food for everyone at the table. The real war is labels and the people who feel the need to have their voices heard. I for one do not care to have my voice heard, I think that is more of a tween thing. They call it self identity trying to figure out ones place in the whole gamma of it all! Who cares really.
I blame the parents for making the kids do whatever they want. If parents knew how to discipline their kids we wouldn't be in such a big mess. But now we have lazy parenting, where kids need to be left to their own devices.
In my day you got shanked by your parents. You said one word out of line you would get whipped.
My father use to beat the crap out of me and id run like the wind. Sometimes I would hide real good and I knew it was coming and it would make it all the worse just waiting. Then mom would get the wooden stick and beat my hands with it. First she would tell you to put you hands flat on the table and you'd have to or else!

You see, LGB is about sexual preference and the T is clearly a Mental Illness and that vocal minority is making the dumbest statements and dying on the exact wrong hills ie. Elimination of women's safeguarding, child & youth mutilation, homophobia & heterophobia, vouching for drag sexual shows & books for kids.
Won't be any war but they do need to be reined in and get serious therapy.

That's the real problem that led us to this point.
Parents would go overboard with the punishment to the point where it could be considered child abuse.
I have no problem with spankings or getting smacked upside the head when it's called for, but when a parent does this in anger then it's not fair.
I got drowned in the tub, beaten with a nightstick, and choked until I passed out. That kind of stuff isn't punishment it's sadism. And it's a symptom of crumbling family dynamics brought upon by these greedy corporate fvcks that make proper parenting impossible.

I'm shocked you of all people said this. I thought you would be on trans rights
Everyone has the same rights as penned in the constitution and bill of rights, anything beyond that are privileges extended to a specific group based on mental illness and that is not OK.
Just because I happen to be attracted to a certain type of person doesn't mean I've lost my damn mind on what should and should not be legally correct.
