Thanks for this. The evidence suggests the whole "trans people are a danger" narrative is false and as I pointed out earlier turns reality on its head...

You haven't demonstrated any danger. I have no evidence to suggest trans women are a "danger" in women's bathrooms.

:pray:

OK, but excluding men from women's bathrooms doesn't put them in a situation where a) they are misgendered and b) they are in disproportionate danger....

The Shoutbox does have its quirks but making the mod team more reasonable probably isn't one of them. :wink:

I'm all for unisex bathrooms as a solution btw but I'm going to keep pushing back against the threat narrative seeing as I'm confident trans women are...

Why do you think feedback discussions are less effective? It's the same debate only in the right place and with a dedicated and titled thread on the f...

Part of my issue here is the apparent circularity. Trans women are a threat in bathrooms because some women are uncomfortable around them. Why are the...

Evidence that trans women are a threat in women's bathrooms, please. If there is no evidence for that, fear of them being in these bathrooms is irrati...

If you want to expound on what your problem is, that's fine. Not in the shoutbox though, please.

:up: My concerns about bathrooms would primarily be a) Trans women being forced to use the men's bathroom and being harassed or assaulted there on bei...

We do our best. Cheers. :up:

Modding potential transphobia is probably the hardest thing we do right now. If anyone knows the perfect line to tread between open expression and hat...

@"NOS4A2" is correct that the establishment is out to get Trump. But he seems to have drawn from this the false inference that Trump hasn't done what ...

That's true. I've wondered about some of his examples and found on checking he's misrepresented and / or misinterpreted something.

:heart:

I know that feeling. :up: :fire:

There's a lot of variety. But generally, though the smell is a bit pungent, the taste is fine. It has a kind of a creamy texture and its own distinct ...

Yes, it's my fave fruit. Had for lunch today.

Durian.

:lol:

The only fellow academic of major standing that I know of and respect highly who outright rejects him is Chomsky. Big names like Judith Butler, Alain ...

It's nice of society to spotlight our situation with an almost literal noose we're required to put around our neck.

Not true. E. g. https://sites.cardiff.ac.uk/zizekcentre/ https://zizekstudies.org He's a serious philosopher who made the "mistake" of having a sense ...

:up: Although, even worse, it may be it's not even a case of really feeling yourself after work but of just involuntarily not feeling not yourself as ...

That's the lifosuction tube.

Maybe we have our own form of netiquette here. At least, I think it looks bad too if done regularly. You might be misunderstood as being intemperate a...

:up:

This is a cool idea. I loved adventure games as a kid and the philosophical twist brings that grown-up element. I can imagine combining this with an a...

I think if you're going to talk about Deleuze, you'll need a more accessible avenue then this. You can PM me some ideas if you like and I'll see if we...

Interesting, but doesn't move the needle much for me given all the plausible ways it could be false. I expect a debunking by the end of the week.

I only ever ate the Bavarian and the jam one in fairness. :100:

I moved this to the Lounge because it's more personal than general. Some good advice above. I hope it helps.

Ah yeah... Those are alright. They were 50 cents each in Thailand. Ate plenty of 'em.

My sister is an actress, acting teacher, screenwriter and all round top lady. Pretty sure she bathes regularly. She may even be a member here so keep ...

They're donuts and poor quality ones. But there always seems to be hype when they open a store. I suppose it's the marketing. Irish style donuts have ...

My sister, who lived in America, informed me the dairy there is substandard. I've tried Hershey bars and Krispy Kreme donuts which are both very poor ...

This is an excellent play. Reads like a dramatization of Frantz Fanon's work.

I would like to point out that your ego may be getting the better of you, but I have an uncanny ability to avoid stating the obvious, which is perhaps...

:clap: That's the spirit. I am often berated for my squeamishness on this front. I see that as an achievement.

*Sets building on fire. Runs away. *

Are we not having a pun Friday?

Hm, I must be off the boil. :chin:

I am happy, perhaps uncharacteristically, to poach your philosophy in this instance. So you are saying he scrambled the original message?

A Scotch egg with radical optimism.

:smile: :sad: :smile: :sad: What to put on my Scotch egg today?

Those people primarily need to be helped. Incels, on the other hand, as proponents of rape culture primarily need to be stopped because rape culture i...
