San Francisco launches Guaranteed Income for Transgender Individuals

Now try answering the question asked.

I did.
The answer to the question "What does trans ideology mean?" is "If someone identifies as trans they are entitled to stuff the rest of us aren't. Including victim status.".

Post #203.
It's right there.
Tom

You are correct - your opinion is right there. But your belief(s) about trans ideology are not trans ideology.

Then what is "trans ideology"?

What I see is the culture of entitlement and victimhood. I see that a lot. Not just trans folk, a lot.
Around here where I live, it's usually weight issues. "Nobody will hire a 400 pound person who dropped out of high school."

We Americans live largely in a culture of victimhood, entitlement, drugs, and guns. Trans people are cashing in.
Of course.
Tom

What is it about people like you and metaphor who like to stomp on the underdog?

What have I done to 'stomp' on 'the underdog'?

You do it every time you open your mouth.

Also, the underdog? Gender ideology has enormous institutional power, including but not limited to government power. The 'underdog'? Give me a break.

Try Googling “violence” and “trans people” and stop making a fool of yourself for a change

Yes, trans women have repeatedly been violent towards women they deem TERFS. It's hardly surprising - males are much more likely than females to resort to physical violence.

My response, #195, to your post of "(mostly unexplained)" is entirely appropriate since transgenderism has had scientific explanations for many years.

First, ZiprHead, if I were in your position, I would not use the word 'transgenderism', which is not accepted by the gender ideologists and could get you cancelled.

Second, I have no idea what you are carrying on about. What 'scientific explanation' of something have I denied?

What did you mean by "(mostly unexplained)" then?

I didn't mean anything by that; I didn't write that. I don't know what you meant by that.

you have to have some sort of thought in your head that in some (mostly unexplained) way conflicts with the sex that was observed and recorded for you at birth.

You didn't write that in post 167?

An instance? Everything you write is stomping on trans people. You don’t even acknowledge their existence, which is the worst stomping of all — an existential stomping. Denying people you don’t like their very persohood.

I might add that typing in “violence against transgendered people” yields almost 52 million results. Google is your friend, as the cliche goes.

Yes, I wrote that sentence. I mean: how does being 'faegender' (for example) 'conflict' with being of the male or female sex, what does it mean to say this person is 'trans'? What's the conflict? Obviously nobody has ever thought that having a male or female-sexed body precludes you identifying as 'faegender'.

Jan? That’s mainly a woman’s name. Why are you misgendering me?

But you ARE interested in people’s gender, very DEEPLY interested, even though it’s none of your goddamned business of course. You want to deny transgendered people their very identity. This is firmly established by your posts.

Also, the underdog? Gender ideology has enormous institutional power, including but not limited to government power. The 'underdog'? Give me a break.

Jan? That’s mainly a woman’s name.

Is it? I only know two Jans - and they are both men. It's a Scandinavian version of 'John'. It might be a name mostly given to women in the United States, but as I have to continually remind the Americans on this board: America is not the world.

Why are you misgendering me?

I'm not misgendering you. I hardly know anything about you, much less claimed you were some type of gender.

"Sure, Jan" is a reference to The Brady Bunch Movie (1995)


It is my shorthand for saying "I am skeptical of your claims but this particular thread of conversation has already gotten too ridiculous for me to waste further energy on".

But you ARE interested in people’s gender, very DEEPLY interested, even though it’s none of your goddamned business of course.

This is false. I don't care about your gender and I would not ask. It has no relevance to me. I don't care about your star sign either.

You want to deny transgendered people their very identity. This is firmly established by your posts.

Repeating your baseless claim certainly works to cement misinformation in people's brains, but it's still misinformation.

I didn’t deny it. I correctly identified you. You ought to be down with that, since you seem to think you are the arbiter of everyone else’s personal identity.

I am the arbiter of my own perceptions, pood.

So it will show both the link itself, and the text below it highlighted with the link embedded in it, as it does in my post 224? That seems kinda weird.
