  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Fine.

Men are men and women are women.

I will stick with reality, thank you very much.
Good for you. Next time you interact with someone who is transgender you make sure to use pronouns they do not prefer. Then shove it in their face when they object, and say you're just bring compassionate, since we need more of that.

Or just use their name? I don’t care what adults do. Not my monkey, not my circus.

Regardless, I think it’s inappropriate imo. Unless it’s for adults only and not in front of minors. Then I wouldn’t care.
You think what that teacher does while not in the classroom is inappropriate because the next day they’re a teacher? I went to a Rocky Horror showing and the next day taught children how to bake bread. Was that inappropriate? Is there some sort of cooldown period between seeing drag and seeing children? A COVID-like quarantine we have to adhere to so we don’t spread drag?

No.

I meant as long as the drag show isn’t in front of minors, it’s fine.

The fact is it’s a forum and I can’t see your gender. The only people I know named Riley are women. Since I can’t confirm your gender, other than what you state, and your name is feminine, I don’t feel comfortable using your preferred pronouns and would rather use the ones I believe are consistent to your identity you present on the forum. For religious reasons. God would be angry at me if I was referring to a woman as a man.

Sorry, but I’m sure you understand.

Except Riley is a very common unisex name.

And you can indeed see my gender on the left side.

I also know I’m a guy and am not pretending to be something I’m not.

Here’s guessing they moonlight as a drag queen, not teach class as a drag queen.
Yeah, for one thing, there are dress codes in public schools. And drag queens wouldn't meet those codes.

In the US, Riley as a girl’s name is 42, while as a boy it’s 229. It’s much more common as a girls name.

And honestly who wants to put in all that work to be a drag queen every day when you’re only seen by kids.

Huh. Sounds exactly like something a transgendered person would say...

Not saying this particular poster is of course. I mean in general. Of course.

Yep. My wife and I share a name that could fit either gender. And we've collected quite a few other cases like that... Gene, Pat, Billy, Cary, Alex etc. where a couple share the same first name.

One big difference is that normal people (those who accept the sex they are born as) don't claim it as "who they are", and base their arguments and politics around it. When transsexuals engage in mass shootings and assassinations, it is based on "who they are" as transsexuals, or the partner of such people and therefore part of that group.
So a non-transsexual is a transsexual?
They target those who oppose perverted sexual lifestyles and bodily mutilations of children.
Nobody is pushing for that, though.
Frankly, I'd be fine with that. But when they come out with their rifles and start murdering innocent people, they shouldn't expect much sympathy.
It's interesting that Kirk and Trump praise violence when it's against their political opponents.

"Perverted" is a matter of opinion, but (aside from de minimus outliers) nobody is pushing for mutilations of children.
Wrong. It’s happening with so called gender affirming care and puberty blockers BUT that is going off topic. And I won’t comment further.

If I was to post a video on this forum of a 9 year old boy doing a drag show in front of a live audience as he is dancing like a stripper and people are throwing him money (which has happened) I would probably get permanently banned. Why do you then think it is appropriate for children to be exposed to this stuff? Why do people bring their children to pride parades and expose them to that leather and whip circus?

I remember that! It was absolutely disgusting!

Adult entertainment is for ADULTS ONLY.

Period!

I don’t know that. I’m only going by what I see.
I was born in 1995. Times have been changing regarding names.

You don’t see many men named Ashley or Mackenzie anymore, either.

It’s not declared. It is. Biology.

You took me on quite the logic journey… If a 9 year old were dancing and people were throwing money at them, I’d say the people who need adjusting in that scenario are the people throwing money. Leather and whip circus…? lol, what? How did we go from drag queen story hour to leather and whips at a pride parade?
