Trannies with mental illness, suicidial thoughts, self hate; wouldn't it be a great idea to let trans serve in the military, you know where there are guns and bombs and classified secrets and tanks and such.
A recipe for disaster in the making.

Agreed. It is not for children, and they should not be exposed to it.

Someone who is transgender, is not the same as a transexual, or a drag queen. These are three separate things, guys.

If you are going to penalize a leftist for not knowing the difference between a magazine and a clip, then you also need to use the proper terms in this case.

Agree. The proper terms are MALE and FEMALE. Period. Anything else is delusional...


That has nothing to do with what I was saying.

Kindly do not twist my words.

The terms transgender, transsexual, and drag queen all have distinct definitions. I recommend you either educate yourself or stow your bullshit. Additionally, "tranny" is a pejorative.

Guys.

I have no patience for the leftist nonsense of a "spectrum" and the made up pronouns and all that. But there are indeed functioning adults out there who are transgender. They just want to live life and be left alone. Like a lot of us.

If you want to hate on these people, take it somewhere else.

There is a distinct line between what a child or minor should be exposed to, and what an adult can do with their own life. I give zero fucks how someone chooses to live, as long as they give me the same courtesy.

There is no doubt that the left is increasingly nuts, and the media is biased, and these are just a few of the things going on. This thread is about a mass shooting, where the shooters are LGBT. If you want to make it about transgender, please discuss it without disparaging it.

These are established terms.

I'm not just speaking to you, I'm speaking to everybody.

Obviously there are two biological sexes.

The terms transgender, transsexual, and drag queen have specific definitions. It's that simple.

You agreed to something I did not state. Don't play games with me.

If it's not clear, the analogy is as simple as asking the left to understand the difference between a magazine and a clip, and to use and understand the terms properly. If you aren't willing to do that, you don't have the decorum necessary for civil discussion, so take your leave.

Have you absorbed what I've said in this thread, or previously on this topic?

Human adults have an appropriate level of freedom an autonomy. One that we all expect to enjoy. Whether other adults choose to be transgender or whatever, is of little concern to me, and really it should be nobodies fucking business.

In the case of children, and certainly in the context of kids that have perpetrated a mass shooting, this is a serious issue. I don't "feel derailed," I expect accuracy of language, if we're going to give a topic due attention.

Kindly lay out exactly what you disagree about.

I've made an effort to be crystal clear. Specifically about terms and their definitions. If you disagree about the terms used in a discussion, then there is no discussion.

Again, you "agreed" that I was saying the "proper terms are male and female."

That is not at all what I said, you were either mistaken or dishonest. I'm not concerned which.

I say what I mean, I mean what I say. You appear to be conflating "proper terms" with descriptions that have nothing to do with the actual terms of transgender, transsexual, or drag queen.

If you'd like to start a new thread to discuss what transgender is, by all means do so. This thread is about a recent mass shooting perpetrated by some children.

There are a number of elements here that are dangerous to our society, not actually this trans business, but how it is being foisted on young minds.

This is a complex issue, I don't mind discussing it at all. Accuracy of language is key, so we can communicate.

Dude, you are still in the wrong.

It doesn't matter how you "feel", you are simply wrong.

To make it simple: you are conflating categories.

Sex, male and female, is a category. It refers to biology.

The other category, transgender, transsexual, transvestite, is simply NOT the same as male and female. It is an ideation and/or an action taken in spite of biology (or perhaps because of it, in the case of mental illness).

They male/female and trans-____ are simply not the same category, no matter what you "feel". You're wrong.

Moreover, sexuality is a third, distinct category. It is also separate from biological sex (though likely interrelated).

You are ignorant of the denotation of the terms and have become hung up on your own connotation.

This is precisely what Arc said it is: ignorance of terminology and an insistence on entering into a debate, then wondering why the other side thinks you're a rube.

You can kick around the motivations of the kids until the cows come home, but for me, the parents are largely responsible.
How about not tolerating (or noticing) or encouraging behavior in your kid that only serves to ostracize or isolate him at school?
How about pay attention to what your kid is doing, saying, thinking and his so called "friends"?
And lastly, (and most importantly) LOCK UP or secure (think serious safe) or remove your firearms from the home if your kid is showing signs of troubled behaviors.
I believe most of these HS level shooters got guns from their families.
I realize kids can pretty stealthy in keeping things from parents, but i find it hard to believe that parents are completely ignorant of whats going on with their kids.

So, you're "disagreeing" by not acknowledging terms used to discuss this topic?

First, you're being ridiculous.

Second, if you can't be bothered to have an adult discussion, stay out of this thread.

Regardless of how you feel about it, transgender people exist, so do transsexuals, drag queens, and lots of other functional adults out there just existing like everyone else.

If you're going to insist that there is "Male, Female, and Deluded," that's bigotry, not an opinion. People who don't need to cast out entire groups as mentally ill aren't "woke," we just aren't closed minded.

There is indeed a higher rate of mental illness and suicide among the LGBT community. It's not simply "oh they're all mentally ill." A big part of it is they have to try to be who they are in a society filled with a lot of people like you. That is exceptionally stressful to say the least.

Mental illness is a huge part of what creates mass shooters. People who have a support network, who feel they are a part of a community, these people don't commit mass shootings. Regardless of sex, gender, religion, or politics, mass shooters are virtually all some manor of social outcast or loner. They are getting back at a group that has excluded them.

By simply refusing to acknowledge terms like Transgender and others, you're part of the problem, not the solution to either mass shootings, or what to do with LGBT youth that actually helps them and treats them like people.

I do think that peoples perception of the media and politicians is beginning to turn, if what happened at that vigil was any indication.

The mainstream media absolutely has a bias, and on more than one occasion has made false claims about the identity or motivation of a shooter before the facts had come out.

Certainly on social media and many web boards, the left froths for any mass shooting to be committed by a conservative, and will happily report on those and call for gun control. They'll try to make anyone white and male out to be conservative or "far-right," etc.

That this tragedy was perpetrated by LGBT teenagers absolutely shatters their narrative, and therefore it's not a priority in the news cycle. Just like when a good guy with a gun stops or entirely prevents a tragedy, they aren't interested in that.

The Left, and the Right, certainly have both bred their own unique brands of intolerance. Only the Left claims to be open, tolerant and accepting meanwhile doing the opposite.

From the Blaze:

Violent and illegal: Father of alleged STEM shooter arrested a lot and deported TWICE

quote:
The two teenagers accused of opening fire on students at the STEM School Highlands Ranch, in Colorado, killing one and wounding eight others, are an 18-year-old apparent Democrat who hates Christians, and a 16-year-old transgender student.

A school shooting is a horrible, tragic, evil outrage, but as sad as it is to acknowledge it happens often enough to use the word usually, we have to observe that usually a school shooting is nearly wall-to-wall news, particularly political, for days.

However, in the Colorado shooting, during which a heroic teen boy sacrificed his life for others, has resulted in muted coverage, and some details aren't being discussed at all.

The 18-year-old killer's politics, for example, merit little mention and haven't even deterred blaming Trump and Republicans, despite his antipathy toward both.

In court, the 16-year-old white, transgender suspect asked that the court to use the pronoun "he", though the teen was born female and is listed as such in court records.

These are, by the standards set by our media, relevant pieces of newsworthy information. And by anyone's estimation ought to be considered as part of the picture when asking what went wrong, and why.

Another aspect that seems to be unworthy of cable news is the father of that student. The Daily Mail reports that Jose Evis Quintana, 33, has a long record. He spent 15 months in jail for domestic violence, and "menacing with a weapon." He has a long list of arrests from 2008-2017.

Also, he was in the United States illegally through all that, and has been deported before. Twice. After being deported and returning illegally to the United States, Quintana was arrested as a violent fugitive, and while fighting extradition to New Mexico, ICE deported him a second time.





These are, again, seemingly relevant facts. There are many, many more such inconvenient aspects to the profiles of the shooters.

The students at the school, the victims and their families who suffered this horror, are not interested in the political maneuvering. Some walked out of a candlelight vigil after gun activists from Moms Demand Action and protesters attempted to make it a gun control rally. The actual students called it "disrespectful" and "inappropriate" in some cases. Others reacted more strongly, shouting "f--k the media" as they left in anger.

A commendable reaction to the ghoulish appropriation of their mourning by crass opportunists and politicians.

But usually, usually, the media want to know everything they can about a shooter. Does he wear a MAGA hat? What does her Facebook say? Are they pro-life? Do they watch Fox News?

Not this time though. Even before the families told the activists to back off, the emerging picture -- that of an angry 18-year-old bully with a history of bashing Christians and Republicans and Trump, and the 16-year-old transgender teenage child of a violent, abusive parent who was in this country illegally -- wasn't the top story.

You can respect the mourning, and you can believe in the importance of mental health over what policies govern objects that people purchase and possess, and yet still fairly ask why. Why so quiet?

As an fyi Arc,, douglas county (where this happened) is very pro-trump and pro-gun. I was surprised and elated at the vigil response, but i think the response has more to do with the kids getting proper education from thier parents in that county.
