Yes of course, but this has nothing to do with gender discrimination. Yes, because they think it's better for workplace culture, productivity etc.

One question worth asking is whether the gender pay gap is actually a bad thing. If I think about my mates, in most cases the man earns more than the woman, because in most cases that's what works best for their family situation, and results from decisions they've made jointly for the benefit...

The claim used to be "woman earn X cents to the dollar that men earn. Discrimination!" Now the discussion has recognised that the vast majority of that difference is due to women making different career or life choices, or due to women having different underlying personality traits- eg higher...

Noticed that this thread was started in 2016. It's been satisfying to watch as the public discussion has moved so far from those days. People no longer use misleading statistics to claim there's some huge gap due to discrimination. The discussion has become more nuanced and evidence-based.

Everyone who has passing familiarity with this topic should already be aware of the major Victorian legislation introduced 2-3 years ago concerning gender identity If you don't, google it It's incumbent upon you to know something about the topics you're posting on. You continually post in this...

I know a little about this topic (more knowledgeable than the average person anyway). I've followed the debate for years and I read substacks about it. It's unrealistic to expect BigFooty posters to provide hyperlinks to external sources to support every comment they make If you are...

Which part?

Yep. Read it already. And let me repeat. The whole line of discussion about nazism is a feeble-minded attempt at distraction. Let me also repeat my earlier point. Hate groups attach to causes. That's what they do. Hate groups are attaching themselves to pro-women's rallies. Agreed. Hate...

What do you believe about "gender identity"? What is it? What does it feel like?

And that's the case for the majority of "trans kids"- most of them have autism or adhd or depression or anxiety or some mental health issues But when they attend "gender clinics" they get treated as if those other issues arise from being trans. There's less appetite for considering the idea...

Gralin's reply to my comment referencing the Palestine rallies and the anti-lockdown protests was appropriately labelled "abysmal" by myself because of the utter lack of any credible attempt at replying to the serious point being made to him.

Stop replying to Gralin- it's not worth it The whole line of discussion about nazism is a feeble-minded attempt at distraction. The utter failure to reply to the obvious counter shows how uninterested he is in serious discussion

Quite often I can't tell whether you're A. Trolling B. Extremely unintelligent- an outlier, past the daft end of the bell curve C. You do understand what's being said to you and you actually believe what you're saying Hanlon's razor suggests B, but these days C can never be ruled out...

This is an abysmal post. It deserves no other response than to simply state how abysmal it is.

Totally understandable. The issue is- you, (or the student welfare people at your school) can only refer students to professionals with government-approved views on gender dysphoria. That is, affirmation only. Many psychiatrists and psychologists must now refuse to treat children in accordance...

This is such disingenuous BS The obvious reply is that hate groups attach themselves to many causes Take the Palestine rallies. Many Islamists, hizb ut tahrir types, antisemites attend those rallies. If you're just a person concerned for the human rights of starving Palestinian children and...

Spot on. There are certain behaviours, preferences, tendencies and interests which are more typical of males or females. For example “girls like people, boys like things” is a stereotype based in thorough study of human behaviour from almost the moment of birth. There are also significant...

Some of the above comments are just abysmal. Dragging nazism into the conversation is an admission you're losing the argument.

Sexual attraction is based on something real and tangible. Males and females. It's a feeling, but it's a feeling oriented towards a physical action- sex. Gender identity is an "inner feeling" of "what it's like to be male or female". It's a "personal sense" of "how you experience your own...

Read the Victorian legislation introduced two years ago. Someone's feeling about their own "gender identity" must never be challenged. It must only be affirmed. It's sacrosanct. That only makes sense if "gender identity" is a permanent and immutable and a core part of our identity (which is...

It might have limited utility as a concept in various contexts. But whatever it is, it's not immutable or permanent. And it's a concept that must be defined into existence, and only exists because of an alleged relationship with various other vague concepts. It's not real in the same sense...

In the sense that it's a permanent and immutable part of the identity of all humans.

Not in the sense that it needs to be to support the trans-activist and pro-affirmation positions, no.

Only if you're willing to accept the existence of a permanent, real "gender identity" that each person has.

ROGD is trying to explain a given phenomena. There's an idea behind the proposed condition called ROGD. The idea is this- there's social elements at the core of the explanation for the phenomena of young teenage girls turning to trans identity en masse. This may not necessarily explain why...

It's not unscientific. Why? Because it's logical. Without logic, science doesn't exist. Note. I'm not suggesting ROGD meets the technical definition of "syndrome" or a clinical diagnosis. I'm saying there's something at the core of the idea that is clearly true- there's some kind of social...

This illustrates the whole issue here. It's not medically recognised by major medical associations. It's a "controversial hypothesis" if you read wikipedia or many so-called "experts". Here's the issue. ROGD is just common sense. It appears to reflect what's happening with young teenage girls...

This is the complete opposite of our current reality. It's the trans community and the gender ideologues who are obsessing over the whole concept of gender. In my own life I find it's a concept with limited utility. Yet school kids are being taught it's at the very core of their identity. I...

I found myself wondering how these people agreed to an interview with Walsh. Even before this doco supercharged his fame, Walsh was already known as a provocative social conservative. I can only assume it was a combination of: 1. Walsh or his producers making every effort to come across as...

Regardless of how concretely you think it can be defined, surely we should all agree on the following two points: 1. A definition for something should not include the same word that's being defined. 2. A definition needs to actually define something. "A woman is somebody who identifies as a...
