He bangs on about it because 80% of the people agree with him..
It's why this thread has so many posts, and until you brought him up, none had anything to with Trump..
He doesn't need Mara Lago. He lives rent free in your head..
I think it has been pretty self evident besides myself and Avon, that posters in.the Whine are to the right politically. Nothing wrong with that but it's a tiny demographic and people who are right wing don't always agree with the concept of trans people and they are entitled to their opinion.
I don't really know where Syl and Vam stand politically and it's their right to keep that private. But I agree with Vam on this issue.
I wouldn’t mind, but he‘s the one who posted a clip with 2 Americans discussing trans issues.
So I commented about how I believe the transgender minority are being demonised, in America, and that I believe his American president is negatively impacting the whole issue.
Apparently, that was me going off-topic. Go figure, huh? 🤷🏻♀️
I don't mind Madders at all but I feel he treats female posters differently from men, he wouldn't be so picky with Avon or Red. He speaks more politely with them also. Avon treats everyone the same.
Maybe that's the southern American way. Just my opinion anyway. Obviously he respects Digs as she is the owner.
He has old fashioned values, I think.
I don't like gossipy drama and emotional rhetoric.
Guilty as charged.
I also acknowledge that women often see things differently than men and react differently.
But my reaction and interaction isn't based on anyone's gender, but the content of their posts..
Umm. I think men have an.innate respect for each other other which women sadly do not share. Women will turn on each other, are far less loyal, stop talking to friends over petty disagreements.
I think Avon is the only man on CM who truly treats genders equally. You seem less argumentative on the rare occasions you post the two men. It's not necessarily a critique and I don't think it's even a conscious choice on your part. I'm sure if a bloke really annoyed you, you would have no qualms showing your displeasure!
And yet I’ve experienced far different. I have some female friends of 20+ years, we’ve had squabbles, falling outs etc. My loyalty to them and theirs to me has never been questioned. We have supported one another through good and bad times. We all respect our differing opinions on things so you do many women a dis-service with your comment…perhaps if you’re losing friendships through ‘petty disagreements” then you should choose more wisely.
Maddog may be a bull in a china shop at times and actually had me swearing at my screen one time but he’s no different to other posters here imo. Could it be that he doesn’t always agree with your posts be the reason why, I feel, you are trying to single him out…I’ve noticed others have called you out on your “facts” and yet…silence.
"King Charles' youth charity cancelled boxing course for disadvantaged girls instead of banning biological males after parents raised safety concerns"
The King's flagship youth charity decided to cancel a fitness course for disadvantaged girls instead of preventing biological males from attending.
The King's Trust was due to run a 'Get started with Boxing and Fitness for Women' course for girls aged 16 to 25 that was open to 'female identifying/presenting' people.
A concerned parent contacted King Charles' charity to raise safeguarding concerns, including that this could have allowed a 25-year-old biological male to punch teenage girls.
But instead of limiting the course to biological women only, as the parent had requested, the King's Trust instead decided to 'withdraw it as an offer to young people'.
Women's rights groups have responded with fury and demanded the King's charity reinstate the course so that disadvantaged young women and girls can benefit from it.
The boxing course was originally launched by King's Trust ambassador and Olympic gold medallist Nicola Adams, who has spoken in favour of protecting women's sports for biological females.
The webpage for the free course, which has since been taken down, said it was due to take place between February 23 and 27 in Bristol.
It was open to young women and girls not in work, education or training and would have helped them gain a qualification and 'discover your strengths, take on challenges and grow your confidence'.
After seeing the flyer, a concerned parent contacted the charity to say that it was a 'wonderful idea', but they were 'appalled' by the eligibility criteria, and demanded the course be made single sex.
The parent wrote: 'Not only is it unfair on women and girls who want to take part and might miss out on participation because a man takes their place, it is also unsafe to allow biological males to box with/against girls and women and share their spaces including changing rooms and toilets.'
Days later, a King's Trust employee responded with an email seen by the Mail that said: 'In recognition of the decision of the Supreme Court, and the specific nature of the activity that this programme offers, we have taken the decision to withdraw it as an offer to young people.'
Su Wong from SEEN in Sport, which campaigns to keep women's sports single sex, said the charity 'would rather deny young women the chance of participating at all than possibly offend someone'.
The King's Trust said it had taken the decision to withdraw the course while it evaluates its programmes in light of the Supreme Court ruling." https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15633515/King-Charles-charity-cancelled-course-disadvantaged-girls-banning-biological-males.html
There's bound to be backlash from some mtf trannys, disappointed they can't now beat the crap out of young females.
What's to evaluate? Obviously, nothing has been learned from the Imane Khelif farce.
All they had to do was change the title from... 'female identifying/presenting' people." ... to female.
Bloody woke decision to spoil it for all young women who would have been eligible to join.
I'm sick of this woke shit.
Progress?? Taking away womens rights to pacify the tiny minority....or at least it was a tiny minority before brain washing become fashionable.
Tiny minority as in men. Males who failed at being men at that.
Some not all. I feel for the genuine transgenders who spent years transitioning, and have no desire to stomp through the rights of women, they just want to live their lives quietly
A man who sexually abused his 5yo daughter (on at least 19 occasions) received a 4 year sentence.
" The judge in the case, Nola Karapanagiotidis, heard that Harper’s supposed experience with “gender dysphoria” and “transphobia” were mitigating factors, and accepted the argument from the defense that he had abused his own daughter solely to be “validated… as a woman and a sexual person.”
He's been put in solitary confinement, in a women's prison. Of course, he's now suing over his human rights being violated - I guess because of that solitary confinement, or is it the favourite, homophobia?

What an excuse. He's a nonce, pure and simple.😠
These sentences are disgusting. That poor little girl must live with this trauma, god knows what it did to her physically and.mentally.😓

She's a nonce...as Ricky Gervaise would say "You fucking TERF whore!"
On a serious note...it seems his being "validated" is deemed more important than the little girl's trauma. His sentence is particularly abhorrent as he probably won't fully serve those 4 years.
"Olympic chiefs have blocked transgender and certain DSD athletes from all women's sports after announcing mandatory sex testing under new rules.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) says that a once-in-a-lifetime SRY gene test will help 'protect fairness, safety and integrity in the female category'.
It slams the door firmly shut on transgender athletes such as Laurel Hubbard - who is retired anyway - and forces those with a Disorder of Sex Development (DSD) to prove that they 'do not benefit from the anabolic and/or performance-enhancing effects of testosterone'.
The IOC's move comes after World Athletics made it compulsory for female athletes to take the test to take part in major championships or Diamond League events last year.
That decision followed high-profile controversies involving the boxers Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting at the Paris 2024 Olympics after claims that they had failed gender eligibility tests with the International Boxing Association (IBA)." https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/othersports/article-15681297/Olympics-BAN-transgender-DSD-athletes-womens-sports-using-sex-tests-block-likes-gender-row-boxer-Imane-Khelif-male-weightlifter-Laurel-Hubbard.html
Sad for those females who were cheated out of medals and recognition in the past. It goes without saying that men shouldn't have been allowed to compete in female sports in the first place.
I'm waiting to see when the screeching will start re KhElif who is adamant that he'll defend his title in the 2028 Olympics.

Those women boxers were cheated tbh. If he looks a man, boxes like a man, muscles like a man, then he's a man!
I hope he never boxes women again. He boxes them knowing he can win. Utterly unfair.

Time will tell if Khelif allows the SRY gene test (mandatory if he wants to compete in the 2028 Olympics). He refused the same test from the IBA.
His "female" passport won't be enough this time.Paris was a farce.
