Mega Comrade posted:Lol did he? Was he "just asking questions" I saw flaps' twitter after his SA ban (but before his twitter ban) and he had gone full-on mask-off transphobe. iirc in the Pissflexit Referendum someone dug up some "banter" he had done about trans people in the football forum so yeah I think he was always like that but valued his access to corbynistas to troll too much to get banned about it

couple of things particularly sticking in my craw about Dodd's shitey trans columnquote:However, the law must also protect legitimate applications. Last year, the Scottish National party’s cavalier approach to reforming gender recognition laws seemed to be more about picking a fight with Westminster than bringing about meaningful change. The safeguards that were proposed to protect women and girls from predators who might abuse the system were simply not up to scratch. As a result, the Scottish government is still picking up the pieces, with trans rights no further forward. this can gently caress off, for a start. "cavalier" is taking several years to drag their feet and eventually come up with a watered-down version of a policy already working fine in other countries and that Scottish Labour loving voted for, but yes the Tories are the ones exploiting the "controversy" for political purposes and ignoring trans people quote:We will not make the same mistakes. The requirement to obtain a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria remains an important part of accessing a gender recognition certificate. That’s especially the case now that gender dysphoria is no longer classified – and stigmatised – as a psychiatric disorder. It can help refer trans people into the NHS for support services – nearly a quarter of trans people don’t know how to access transition-related healthcare. Requiring a diagnosis upholds legitimacy of applications and confidence in the system. This is just baffling though. How much of the trans people not knowing how to access transition-related healthcare is down to it barely loving existing rather than the convenience of having to jump through whatever medical hoops your GP decides is appropriate for a piece of paper that most trans people haven't bothered to apply for. Also love the declaration that a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria no longer being specifically a psychiatric disorder means it's totally fine to use it to gatekeep transition now. Thanks, Cis Person! you've solved trans forever. there was no need to speak to a single trans person about this

the Borg were scary just because they looked weird and were robots. when they said "You will be assimilated. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile." it was fine actually, there was nothing disturbing about that part. it was completely neutral language

I think the occasional bout of arguing with dickheads isn't too much of a problem, if only to show how little these people give a poo poo about actually engaging in arguments, but with the level of racism coming out of them this time I do think they should have been banned/probated for their posts a bit sooner and by "a bit sooner" I mean, at all
