Not necessarily, those networks have their own problems and I also need to point out that if you somehow think CNN and MSNBC are the left’s equivalent of Fox News, then you are spectacularly wrong. Those networks are center-right at best. ARE YOU KIDDING? DO YOU THINK I CAME DOWN IN A SHOWER OF RAIN YESTERDAY? CNN IS CENTRE-RIGHT? Clinton News Network. As for FOX. There is a really good documentary about Fox, surrounding a story about recombinant bovine growth hormone. After it was all wrapped up, just to give you the gist of it, they won the battle in court to lie and call it news.
The point here is that the transphobic - AND HERE WE GO, THE VICTIMHOOD OLYMPICS, I DISAGREE WITH YOU SO NOW YOU ARE A VICTIM, GOES ALONG WITH RACIST, HOMOPHOBE, MISONGYNIST, BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH AD INFINITUM - opinions you are spouting here can only be held by someone who is looking exclusively at a certain media landscape - WRONG -, and not listening to actual physicians and experts. - WHAT, A GENDER STUDIES PROFESSOR?
This is the fundamental reason for the intense polarization - THERE SURE IS - in today’s political climate: people are not looking at the same reality anymore - WHAT? LIKE THERE IS MALE OR FEMALE? IF YOU ARE A MAN AND WANT TO DRESS AS A WOMAN OR VICE VERSA, I DON’T CARE. IF YOU ARE A MAN AND WANT TO TRANSITION, OR VICE VERSA, I DON’T CARE. JUST DON’T SPROUT DELUSION AS FACT. DO WHATEVER YOU WANT. PROVIDED IT DOESN’T INTERFERE WITH ME, I DON’T CARE. BUT YOU VICTIMHOOD OLYMPICS PARTICIPANTS, WANT TO CONSTANTLY AFFECT MY LIFE, AND I’M SICK OF IT, YOU’RE AN OPPRESSOR AND I’M A VICTIM, IT’S NEVER ENDING. -You said you were at the premiere of Star Wars back in 1977, so you must be old enough to remember the days when everyone read the same newspaper- THERE WERE A FEW DIFFERENT NEWSPAPERS, WITH THEIR BIASES. TO GET A MUCH BIGGER PICTURE, I HAD TO WRITE TO GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS AND UNIVERSITIES. - . Things are not like that anymore. This is why I’m telling you please, think about your information diet.- MORE LIKE, YOU SHOULD - Honestly, where are you getting your information about this stuff? NOT A GENDER STUDIES PROFESSOR, CNN OR FOX.
What I said is that gender isn’t a biological thing. The term - AND HERE WE GO, THE GAME OF SEMANTICS BEGINS - “gender” refers to the social and cultural notions of masculinity and femininity, - SO HERE’S YOUR TAKE, AS I TRY TO UNDERSTAND THIS ALTERNATE UNIVERSE, A MAN ACTING AS A WOMAN, IS FEMALE GENDER, NOT FEMALE $EX, A WOMAN ACTING AS A MAN, IS MASCULINE GENDER, NOT MALE $EX, DO I HAVE THAT CORRECT? JUST TO GET YOUR SIDE OF THIS SEMANTIC GAME. - as opposed to the term “-Yoink!-” (ok that word is censored but I am sure you can figure out what it says from context) which is biological. If you can’t even get basic terminology correct, like knowing the difference between -Yoink!- and gender, then why would I think you have an informed opinion on this topic? OF COURSE, BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN DISAGREED WITH, I CAN’T BE INFORMED, JUST LIKE YOU CAN’T BE DELUSIONAL.
Either way, even if you had used the right terminology, you’d still be wrong. - OF COURSE - The idea that being trans is an illness just like being anorexic is an old (and insulting) trope that’s been debunked many times. But you don’t know that it’s been debunked because, again, your information diet about trans people probably consists of lying clowns like Abigail Shrier. - SO, TO YOUR SEMANTIC GAME AGAIN, JUST TO UNDERSTAND YOU, MENTAL ILLNESS CAN ONLY BE A MENTAL ILLNESS, IF IT CAUSES HARM? BEING THE $EX OF MALE AND SAYING YOU ARE A WOMAN OR BEING THE $EX OF FEMALE AND SAYING YOU ARE A MALE, IS PERFECTLY NORMAL? THERE IS NO MENTAL ILLNESS? ONCE AGAIN, DO WHAT YOU LIKE, DON’T EVER TRY AND CONVINCE ME THAT THIS IS JUST NORMAL.
One of the reasons why the comparison to anorexia doesn’t hold up is because for something to be a mental illness, it has to be harmful, right? It’s easy to see how anorexia is harmful, but if a person decides they want to transition, there is no intrinsic harm in allowing them to do so.
ok but I asked what wanting to change one’s “biological gender” had to do with Halo because I am not aware of any trans characters in the game - NOT SURE ON THIS ONE
