  • 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.

Your positition is as asinine as suggesting that men spend time qualifying as teachers to get access to young girls, therefore male teachers are a problem.
I wasn't aware the male teachers would be in an area where young girls would be undressing.

Is that what goes on in Liberal states these days?

This guy has not "gone through being transgender."

I agree. And if that person needs to use the bathroom then they must realise that someone might well complain if they use the women's. So what we need here is a touch of common sense. From both sides.

You seem to agree that women might need to be protected from men like this.

I'm saying that police officers and courts are smarter than you think they are.

So you are encouraging these women to rest assure that they are able to break the law because they probably won’t be prosecuted for it?

Don't be facile. I think that most of what you post is wrong and I have no problem in telling you. But I don't treat you like an idiot. I expect the same courtesy.

So your position is that transgenders should have access to public restrooms and showers, that don't correspond to their natural sex, if someone complains?

Absolutely. Just looking at him, makes you realize he's not a woman.

On another note, some women have facial hair or look not how ladies should look based on society standards. Should people complain just based on their biased viewpoint?

(Yes, I realize you won't agree with me).

I was treating your post as if it was a relevant response to my statement. My bad.

I'm saying what should be pretty obvious to anyone. If you look like a dude wearing a dress then someone is likely going to complain.

I've seen a transgender, who was literally (looked like) a man in a dress, demand a co-worker be fired because she called him sir. People have a right to complain regardless of appearances. Grown men have no business being in women's restrooms. Period.

I think that it should be readily obvious that if one has a dinky dangler; he has no place in a women's restroom.

The fact it has become controversial that men shouldn't belong in women-only places blows my mind. XY chromosome=men. Period.

(Yes, I realize you won't agree with me).
People only complain about about what they see based on their viewpoint. Which is invariably biased one way or another. And that includes me and you.

This is pretty straightforward. If a person looks and acts as we individually think that a woman looks and acts and she is using the ladies restroom then no-one is going to batt an eyelid. If the person looks and acts as we individually think a man looks and acts then someone at some point, somewhere is likely to complain. It won't be me because I'm reasonably used to seeing all sorts of individuals in bars in parts of Sydney where you'd be hard pressed to tell if someone is an effeminate dude, a butch girl, a crossdresser, transgender, gender fluid...keep adding to the list as you see fit. Frankly, it doesn't faze me at all. It's not a problem for me.

Fair enough.

I don't understand why it's controversial that men should use men's restroom and women should use women's restrooms. That's my opinion.

I can't help it if you have problems in understanding analogies.
I understood quite well the shortcomings of your very poor analogy.

I assumed that you would realize that I was pointing that out.

No need to make it personal.
