    Exclamation Stop Appropriating My Gender

    The concept of cultural appropriation sounded like a hysterical liberal faux pas when I first heard it. You want diversity, you want inclusion, but yet you rip people apart when they embrace each other’s cultures. Ridiculous! Your party is eating itself, I thought.


    Not batting an eyelash, liberals accepted and subsumed the inconsistent inclusion and appropriation theories.
    Simultaneously, liberals embraced the mind-boggling “minority” exception to their cultural appropriation theory. While whites are not permitted to embrace the beauty trends of minority cultures, minorities, on the other hand, are unquestionably permitted to dye their hair blonde to resemble Caucasians. Dare not question these women!


    Then, liberals ventured even further out. They decided that yet another, even more divergently inconsistent theory needed to be added to their quagmire of illogical introversions of reality: the gender appropriation exception to cultural appropriation.



    Gender appropriation, unlike cultural appropriation, is entirely permissible and even encouraged in the same liberal circles that berate caucasian girls for wearing Japanese dresses or African-American hairstyles.

    A man, you see, is entirely within his cultural right to succumb to his mental ailments and to assume the identity and privileges of a woman. This is OK and must be recognized as an objective reality, liberals now claimed. They began litigating to force acceptance of gender appropriation.

    Interesting, I hadn't thought of it that way before. But now that you bring it up.......

    You've never actually met a liberal have you. Your entire idea of what liberals are like and how they act is based on crap articles you read on crap fake news site like townhall and gateway pundit.

    When you represent the claims and opinions of a relative handful of columnists, spokespersons and talking heads in the "liberal" community as being those of all or even most liberals, you...well, I'll keep DG's warning to Crepitus in mind and just say, you err.

    It would be easy enough to collect some fringe right-wing crackpots' comments and assertions and characterize them as fairly representative of "conservative thinking", but that would be lazy and foolish of me.

    I think most liberals are concerned about women in sports being beat out by transgenders but they're kind of between a rock and a hard place. It's hard to ensure transgenders are treated as if they are the gender with which they identify and protect women's sports at the same time.

    I think there has to be a happy medium, but I fear that will mean male transgenders might not qualify to play in women's sports.

    The solution is simple... If a person is genetically male, he is male. It doesn't matter what his delusions are, he is male.

    Treat him as such and stop pandering to his mental illness.

    It is amazing you would call this mental illness when there is no evidence that all people who experience this condition are mentally ill. You have no credentials to affirm your claim.
    Yet when someone declares Don a narcissist or having other mental problems you question their credentials.

    Now wait a minute. Earlier in this thread, some liberal posters were rejecting the idea that liberals support the notion that someone can be a different gender just by identifying as such. Now, you're saying that it's not mental illness to have this identity issue.

    Which is it? Either gender dysphoria is a real thing and you can appropriate gender if you identify as such, or it is a mental illness that should not be accommodated by open society.

    I apologized in advance for this thread being brought to my attention.

    The statement “A man, you see, is entirely within his cultural right to succumb to his mental ailments and to assume the identity and privileges of a woman” is terminally fraught with misconceptions, bigotry, and outright stupidfuckery to be considered in any rational argument.

    Apparently the OP has succumbed to his inner mental Neanderthal.
