Juno actor Ellen Page publicly comes out as a transgender male named Elliot and tells fans in a statement: 'My pronouns are he/they' - as wife of two

You have repeatedly deadnamed Elliot Page, and no foot-stamping by you can cover up that fact.




Here come the juvenile insults. A classic sign that you have nothing intelligent to say yet you still want to keep running your mouth.
Yet another post goes by and you continue to show your impotence with your inability to show where I insulted Page, or where I denied her freedom and bodily integrity.

Again dead naming is only a thing to trans-radical activists.
 
Long overdue

Does the mere fact of being trans also make one a radical activist? Maybe some non radical not activist trans people also object to the practice.
 
Your arguments are proving to be as belligerent as they are ignorant.

Emphasis added:

gen·der

sex

2.either of the two main categories (male and female) into which humans and most other living things are divided on the basis of their reproductive functions.​

Similar: gender

Whether you wish to continue to act like troll-clown here is entirely up to you.
 

Dude, did you not hear me? I have a PhD specialization, like a minor for an undergrad, in gender. I have hours and hours in the gender department and in gender classes at the PhD level. A member of my committee was a gender professor. And you're hitting me with the dictionary. Can you even imagine how pathetic that appears to me.

I've shown you repeatedly, but you cannot find the answer for the same reason that a fugitive cannot find the police.

Hint: You did it again up there.

Keep coming with your childish insults. It's all you've got left.
 
Apparently that just makes you a trans-radical activist.
 
If that's accurate, it's neither liberalism nor racism. It's child abuse.

Says a person who supports the abusive tactics of deadnaming and refusing trans people from the right to hormone blockers.

Your opinion here is of no value.
 

The definitions you posted above are clearly very modern. I only knew the word "gender" from my study of foreign languages, not even from my study of sociology. (But my undergraduate studies were in the 1970's.) Sex was the only word used to denote biological male and female qualities when I was in college and grad school.
 
Ah, an appeal to self-authority. That fallacy is always a gem.

Keeping in mind the tone and quality of your previous replies to me, as far as I'm concerned your PhD and $2.95 will get you a small latte at Starbucks. Words have meaning, and as we're not all gender studies degree holders here -- thank God -- it is only logical to use the commonly understood definitions of words -- as defined in the dictionary -- if one wants to be understood.

But let's be honest with each other, Dr. ecofarm, creating understanding isn't why you logged on to DP today, is it?

Okay, fallacy master. I haven't published my dissertation so I'm not a doctor.

I believe in earlier posts I used the name "Elliot," so I'm not as you say, "deadnaming."

I have absolutely no idea what you mean by "right to hormone blockers" in this context. It comes across as complete gibberish.

And my opinion may hold no value for you, but I think that likely says more about you than me.
 
I heard a story too. Lots of stories. By tons of bigoted little girly man babies crying about fairness. And stories from parents using their children as weapons of hate. Yep, done heard 'em.


But I draw conclusions from statistics.

For that matter, Ecofarm, why don't we do away with age discrimination and let high schoolers compete against middle schoolers? There are good reasons why we don't do that, and thaose are the same reasons we shouldn't let transgendered females complete against born females.

Also, Ecofarm, you might think that the parents of those girls just "hate" transgendered people, but if you had seen your own child work toward a goal for years and then seen someone else with a totally unfair advantage destroy that dream, then I don't think you'd be calling your child a "crybaby."
 

Scholarships are based on time not finish. Fake victim bs.
 

Does a gender department stand alone or is it part of a larger department and, if so, which one? I would guess The Sociology Department which, I know, started to absorb classes in women's studies when they began. I have never heard of a gender department or gender classes before.
 

It's under sociology (a college as opposed to a department, I'd guess) and includes many disciplines such as anthropology and economics. It's interdisciplinary by nature. My program was Interdisciplinary Ecology, UF. My MSc Intl. Env. Sci. is from Europe. Before that, Gulf 1, I was a paratrooper (no combat).

If you were to go back and look at my posts, Ecofarm, you would see that I never said a word about scholarships--I was talking about winning the events. A scholarship is based on a "personal best," but at the competitions, they don't hand out trophies for "personal bests." To see someone else be given a trophy that you know you would have won if not for the unfair advantage, can be heartbreaking.

Lol

Not worried about those peaking in high school. That's trash.
 
It's not "trash" to the girls and their parents, Ecofarm.

If they worried about a kid peaking in high school, they all trash.

Peaking? What are you talking about? The greats were great in high school too
