The āOwnersā thread on the Newcastle forum will be very polite.
And rainbow free
Hope youāve all discovered libsoftiktokā¦
Many threads this could go in.
This is linked from qanon, which is certainly taking the piss out of the gender identity debate.
And to be fair, that clip regarding hybrid stuff isnāt helping
So hereās the problem. Do we take this chick seriously (like what I did there?) and accept her pronouns and identity? Or do we just laugh like fucking hyenas as sheās clearly barking mad? Where is the line drawn?
You donāt need to go reductio ad absurdum when people like this exist.
I dont know where the line is drawn. In a different conversation she would be described as barking mad, but the conversation at this point is around identity and "allowing " people to be who they want to be. To be honest I donāt know what to believeā¦
Re the Qanon link, I copied this piece to a gender fluid friend and they responded that the link was from Qanon and it was their way of demonstrating absurdity.
I wasnāt questioning your posting it.
One of the issues is that āsomeā people consider links from ācertainā sources to be derisible without actually engaging with them. Oh thatās JBP or Ben Shapiro so we can discount it as nonsense. Not a stance Iām fond of. This is from X so it must be agenda driven rubbish etc.
If you donāt know who this person is in real life then you donāt have to do anything. Maybe they are serious, maybe they are taking the piss, maybe they are making a point, maybe they are unhinged.
Regardless, if you donāt know them you can just ignore and move on with your life. Like everything else on social media. They arenāt an actual āproblemā that you have to deal with.
I know that. But by posting on social media they are aware it leads to discussion.
Well sometimes you actually can derive from the source that it is agenda driven rubbish.
The content of the tweet may not be such, but the rationale for posting most likely is.
I more meant klopptimist asking if we need to take this person seriously. The answer is he doesnāt need to do anything.
I donāt need to. But when conversations centre round the acceptance of peopleās considerations and decisions on their own perception of their identity, itās good to know where the bottom of the barrel is. I go back to can I identify as black, even though Iām biologically and demonstrably not.
You canāt because you donāt.
But if someone can identify as a human/bird hybrid??!
Wrong, I can identify as anything? Surely? Society accepts this does it not?
No thatās not how it works. We know you donāt identify as a black person or even as a woman. If you started doing it to prove a point, then it only makes you an asshole
You canāt identify as black because you donāt identify as black. IF you identified as female, the you could identify as female, but you donāt, so you canāt.
So you can identify as things you clearly arenāt, but only certain things.
Glad that thatās been cleared up. 
Thatās not what I said.
