The Orwellian Absurdity Of Logging Rapists As Female

[naomi24]

//J. K. Rowling of Harry Potter fame has once again ridden valiantly into the gender wars — this time to object to Police Scotland’s policy of recording rapes as being committed by women, should the rapist identify as female. Detective Superintendent Fil Capaldi explained that “Police Scotland requires no evidence or certification as proof of biological sex or gender identity other than a person’s self-declaration.”//

Following her accurate declaration that only women menstruate, Joanne is once again being tarred by the twittering twits of Twitter as transphobic. Well she would be wouldn’t she?

if you have a Y chromosome you're a geezer, end of.

//Your second point is also wrong. Millionaires are millionaires through bloody hard work in the main.//

Or the hard work of their parents/ancestors ☺

[naomi24]

Indeed. Through hard work - regardless of who was responsible for it. :o)

[jim360]

Or through premium bonds. Hard work buying those up!

"They never will be. Why can't you understand that? "

I do understand it... it's not exactly a very complicated idea is it.

I do not think she is correct, there is a difference..

"untitled is one of those marxists that believe all that kind of pony. "

oh please if you really think good fortune played no part in your success then you're kidding yourself!

it is not a criticism... i dont understand why some people take the idea that they have been lucky in life so badly. most of us owe a lot to luck there's no shame in it! just be honest...

If you have a Y chromosome, you're a man - up until the time you transition to a woman, then you're a transgendered woman.

As the person who introduced "millionaires" to this thread 14:57 Fri. may I remind you that I said 14:57 Fri. :

"It's like this: a very tiny, (but highly vocal) proportion of the world's males want to be, & wish they were females, and there is a similar cohort of females who want to be males.

There are also a lot of people who would like to be millionaires & some who want to be movie stars or formula 1 drivers, but it's a never going to happen for them, it's such a shame, but tough titty!"

They were wannabe millionaires not real ones.

Hang on - are you saying that because you're not something, you never will be?

Would you say to the 10 year old Sir Lewis Hamilton, "You'll never be a F1 champion, because you're not?"

Would you say to the ten year old Sir Richard Branson, "You'll never be a millionaire, even though you want to be"?

How do you know it will never be?

Are you able to see into the future?

If so - lottery numbers please.

[Mozz71]

SP, I'm sure Khendro will correct me if I'm wrong, but I read it as meaning hard work alone doesn't necessarily lead to success. You need a vombination of many things: work ethic, talent, support and yes, good fortune (and exploiting that fortune when it happens).

[ToraToraTora]

yep you definitely do need a vombination.

[sp1814]

Thanks Mozz71!

Haven’t read through the rest of this thread!

[Mozz71]

Vhanks Vora ;-)

sp: That's a silly interpretation of what I said, of course I would encourage 10 year olds to follow their dreams, but when the 10 year old gets to be 40 it's pretty clear that they ain't going to drive a F1 Mercedes to victory in a GP

14.19, no man can ‘transition’ to a woman. Men can have surgery, hormone treatment, dress up as women, attempt to emulate the behaviour if women, and pretend in all sorts of ways to be women, but nothing will ever make them women.

Why does no one care about the way J K Rowling is being treated?

[sp1814]

A man can transition to being a transgendered woman.

You’re mistaking an opinion as fact.

“ Why does no one care about the way J K Rowling is being treated?”

Are you serious?

Do you actually think no-one cares?

You do don’t you?

And I bet there are many who feel the same as you. And there are many who disagree with you.

[naomi24]

SP, it is a fact. Men cannot become women. They can only ever pretend to be women:

I’ve heard no support from you for J K Rowling - nor condemnation of her abusers.
