Binos Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 On 25/05/2023 at 14:01, Mr Waldo said: Woman an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth My Oxford English Dictionary Female of or denoting the sex that can bear offspring or produce eggs, distinguished biologically by the production of gametes (ova) that can be fertilized by male gametes. So to me, a trans woman is an adult human who lives and identifies as a person that can bear offspring... woman is an adult human that can bear offspring... I've just realised that on asking the what is a woman question,the leaders of the three biggest parties in England all give 3 different answers? Is it any wonder people are scratching there head?

Socialists rn. Are you joking? The whole point of socialism is to oppose the ownership class profiting from work they don't do. If the parasites have seen a drop in the value of their "investments" then that's great news. Woke capitalism and socialism are two entirely different things. If capitalists want to cynically use trans people as pawns for their outrage marketing (or Black people - see Nike with Colin Kaepernick) then f**k them. I hope it backfires.

Target are opposed to unionisation of their workers (inluding LGBT workers), as expected: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/feb/10/first-thing-target-directing-managers-to-stop-workers-from-unionizing Of course it's better that pro-LGBT rather than anti-LGBT marketing is used by these companies but it must be understood they're only instrumentalising the LGBT movement for their own profit. They can't be trusted in any way as their loyalty is only to their shareholders and nobody else. That article shows how they went from funding the anti-LGBT politician to sponsoring (which provides advertising benefits unlike donation) pro-LGBT causes. That was in response to their changing market research not due to a corporate conscience which doesn't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And TipRanks has them forecasted the share price as being up 22% at a minimum in the next 12 months with 17/23 analysts saying buy and the other 6 saying hold. But, y’know, what does that matter when we can post memes so old Philip Schofield would KB them. https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/tgt/forecast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re still selling the stuff online. And there were bomb threats against 4 stores in Utah today, so there’s certainly at least an element of looking out for staff welfare.

On a serious note does the Emily Bridges statement not sum up the other extreme. of this whole debate? Suggesting "genocide" is disgraceful in this context. We are talking about biological males competing in female sport ffs. Surely any sensible person would condemn this?
