This is where we disagree. I don't think a majority of teenage girls would be comfortable changing clothes in front a biological boy, regardless of how they identify. So at that point, they are hurting someone.
And quite frankly as a teenage boy, I'm not sure I would have been comfortable showering with a girl in a locker room.
I would like to make a point about this thread. Have you noticed that almost none of the females here have participated in this thread. Wonder why that is.
Actually, there are only about five or six females on this forum anyway, and just for kicks I went back and looked through the entire thread and guess what -- we all at one point or another have posted in this thread. So whatever point you were trying to make isn't going to cut the mustard.....
Is this argument to support your post about the SC upholding the transgender ban. Sorry I was on hiatus during the holiday break, and had minimal pop ins with this forum. So I don't want to read into things before I responded to you.This is where we disagree.

It's just their way of taking things to a level that doesn't exist in order to display faux outrage. I suspect it's much like it was back in the days of segregation "they want to take over and invade our sense of decency!" type of thing, when in reality it will have zero impact on their every day lives.Is this argument to support your post about the SC upholding the transgender ban.

However on your second point, no one in the legal suit in question is arguing about letting a boy in the girls shower room.

Wow did you take the ball and fabricate a whole new narrative with that... So in the Virginia case where it happened twice with the same accuser, it was not about a transgender assault on a girl in the bathroom. This was a relationship sexual assault in which they agreed to meet up in the bathroom at a predetermined time. They had a consensual sexual relationship in the past, but this time she wanted just to talk and said no. That is clearly a sexual assault but not a transgender taking advantage of a "loop hole" to assault girls as in the argument you are clearly trying to make. Also, the perpetrator in the case was indeed wearing a skirt, but they didn't have authorization to use the girls bathroom. The third attack didn't happen in the bathroom, it happened in an empty classroom. So yes we do have an individual here that seems to have some criminal activity, but does this mean all transgendered people are criminals? Should we put this case up against all the countless boys sexually assaulting girls in bathrooms, and countless other areas in schools across this country?I remember this being said in regard to the potential of biological boys, who identify as girls, sexually assaulting girls in a girls bathroom.
And then it happened. Thrice. One kid did it twice, the second time after he was transferred to another school to keep it quiet. And then it happened again in another district.
So these things do exist.
A meme is not an argument, - still less a substitute for an argument - just a lazy way to try to crack a cheap visual joke.Concerned Conservatives...

Correct about the second sexual assault. I am wondering who dropped the ball at that school district. One thing is for sure, is that there is too much "boys will be boys" attitude in this country, and sexual crimes in school do not get the same amount of scrutiny that an adult would get.I stand corrected on this one. I had not read this information and it seems it came out at trial.
What is not clear though is the circumstances around the second girl he assaulted at a different school. Sounds like the boy has issues.

I recently read an article about actress Bella Ramsay.

I found the context of ‘they’ to be less clear than it could be as far as my understanding of the pronoun ‘they’.
“They are known for their breakthrough role as young noblewoman”
I understand the idea of being non-binary, but my impression that when referring to a person, a single individual, for clarity purpose, it would be better to designate a new word that indicates a single non-binary person, and not use a word that typically indicates more than one person,. Maybe it’s just 7 decades of thinking of ‘they’ as plural. As I said, I understand it, they don’t think of themselves as more than one person, but don’t want to be locked into the idea of he or she. I propose a new word that represents this. I don’t think this particulate word would be acceptable, but as just an example ‘shed’. He grew up, She grew up, Shed grew up. Thoughts?
Or maybe everyone is fine with ‘they’. But I think it would in many cases require more words to be clear what ‘they’ means in context as far as referring to one or to a group.
Neo-pronouns are new pronouns created by trans, non-binary and intersex communities to speak to their particular experiences of gender. More common neo-pronouns include xe/xem/xyr, fae/faer and thon/thons.
These pronouns are used in the same way as he/she/they pronouns but may require you to think more carefully before you address someone to ensure you are using the correct words. It may also be helpful for you to practice using these pronouns correctly in private if you are struggling.
I am all for something different, because I have a tough time using they. It is so foreign to my old brain
They're struggling with it as we are in English.Do other languages have a non-gendered singular pronoun?
Is it really though? I mean I live arguably the most pronoun sensitive area on the planet and I have never once struggled with this, not a single time, and neither has anyone I personally know. If it's cumbersome then it's because you're you're making it that way for yourself when it's absolutely unnecessary.I have used the he/she but it’s cumbersome.
