  • 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.

I'd say this individual appears to be a human who looks like a cat for some reason unknown to me.

Appears to be human but looks can be deceiving? IT IS A HUMAN WHO SURGICALLY MADE HIMSELF LOOK LIKE A CAT! No different than a man who surgically made himself look like a woman or vice versa. Your answer has proven that your ideology has blinded you to reality, making you far less credible on this topic than I.

Please note it is referring to a girl or young woman. Which has always been a reference to their sex. And this girl exhibits masculine traits, which is typically a reference she likes to do things boys like to do, such as hunt, fish, wrestle or play tackle football. The question quickly becomes is can't you be a girl inside and out and still like to do those things?
Sure, but it can also include more fundamental traits.
Who calls a trans person a tomboy? What in earth is your point here? Where did you get the idea that tomboys are trans? Can't some girls like some boy things and still be girls? Who made the rule that if you are a tomboy you must be trans? (Or even lesbian).
We were just exploring various forms of non standard gender expression. Being a "Tomboy" is a form of gender expression. Whether the tomboy is trans or not would be a separate question and really none of our business.

No, the right answer is that it is a picture appears to be that of a human who looks like a cat for some reason. That's the reality, It's entirely likely that his appearance is the result of surgery, but so what?

Or it could be a really good makeup job, made to look that way. Michael Westmore could have done it.

Hard to be certain from just one photo, really.

Or, maybe, I'm less prone to make assumptions or judgments.

The posters answer was that it appeared to be human, but "looks can be deceiving." In other words, "It looks human but looks can be deceiving. So it could be a cat."

Basically, what is going on is a situation of the Emperor having no clothes. The con-artists in the story who convinced a naked Emperor that he was beautifully dressed are the academic elites and school teachers who deceived their students into believing the trans ideology.

Then for years, anyone who had the audacity to question the Emperor's attire where ostracized and sent to the gulag out of fear of the king's embarrassment. It worked for a while, and many people went along with the lie to protect their jobs and reputations. But not anymore.

Now, the people are no longer afraid to speak the truth and are calling it what it is, delusion. The strange thing is that so many people have been groomed and indoctrinated so much that they truly believe the emperor is dressed when he is clearly naked. Now they cant even tell the difference between a cat, and a human having surgery to look like a cat.

No, that is an intentional misrepresentation of his answer.

No, it's apparently you that can't tell the difference.

It is a pass/fail test and refusing to answer is a default fail, making you less credible on this topic than myself because your ideology has blinded you to reality. Can you answer the question? Cat or human?
IT's a human with a bunch of weird looking body mods.


This whole "cat" thing has a specific root but the story turned into an urban legend.

It is not too uncommon for some austistic kids (especially nonverbal ones) who pretend to be other things (usually animals) as a way to self soothe. This could mean some basic meowing or other behaviours that would appear weird or rude.

There should NOT be anything fundamentally wrong or immoral about a child behaving this way. It is a comfort to them. IF you have a problem with a child playing pretend, please understand that is a YOU issue. No teachers are SERIOUSLY getting them to think they are a cat or pushing them to do. They recognize that it provides them safety and comfort so, they may allow it at certain times.


KEep in mind folks: There is actaulyl ZERO real benefit in repeatedly telling these children that they are human and to stop kidding themselves or anything like that. They do not cognitively function like you do and they have ABSOLUTELY no idea about what the concept of "social norms" are; let alone that they "should" follow them.

At no point was any of these kids EVER given a litter box to crap in; that's where things went stupid.
Not true on both accounts.
Proof please.

HE does not "look like a cat". Cats don't have metal in their face. Cats don't have tatoos. I'm guessing he also doesn't have a tail.

"far less credible on this topic than I".
Not sure what to say about that one....

Let him speak for himself. His answer seemed pretty clear to me. "It looks like a human, but who am I to judge."

Correct. Just like a transgender woman is a man with a bunch of weird looking body mods.

You are welcome to think whatever you think about their looks.

But that doesn't mean it's polite and respectful to refer to them by a gender they'd rather not have.

In the same way that if I started referring to to you as a "She" you wouldn't like that very much.

Who cares about being polite and respectful regarding this topic? I have the intellectual integrity to tell the emperor he is naked while you are content with him walking around like a fool to spare his feelings.

Lol. It's not intellectual integrity (I have my own thoughts on that anyways).

You think these people are "fools" and you, the enlightenned one get to.

Nothing you do means anything. Whatever you say to those people means nothing. You saying what you think is "intellectually smert" truly isn't. There is nothing you are doing that is helpful. You are not going to change them by being your simple stubborn self.


Of course you are free to do whatever, but please don't be so delluded into thinking that you are helping when you are harming.

If you expect me to bow to a naked king and compliment him on imaginary beautiful robes, you are mistaken. Nor will I be afraid of the king's wrath or his supporters who desire his self delusion to spare his feelings.

you go ahead and be you.

Just remember: EVerything you're doing is useless and unhelpful.

So if you had the goal of helping someone with this treatment you are not. In fact, you are actively making their lives worse.

Right now, my goal is to take that woke trans garbage that the left is trying to force feed me and shove it back into their face. To be clear, I am not going to go around insulting people for no reason. But if someone expects me to feed their delusion to spare their feelings, they are in for a rude awakening.

I agree. You are insulting them WITH reason. I can only speculate about what that reason is.
But if someone expects me to feed their delusion to spare their feelings, they are in for a rude awakening.
I can pick up on that.
