    Race is a pseudo-science idea invented by racists in the first place, so ethnic slurs and racial slurs are pretty well intertwined if not 100% interchangeable.

    It's Carlos Mencia, isn't it?
    You think he gave you permission, don't you?
    Carlos Mencia is an asshole, and his career is over.
    Joe Rogan and South Park took him down.
    His ascendancy was a dark time in America.

    Then you are in a minority of one, as defined by your failure to understand what a slur is.

    How are you with the "n" word?

    Jesus Christ. I'm gone for two days, and suddenly we have gone from "it is not impossible that some trans people might have a defect" to "it is an objective truth". No. That's not how science works. And the drift away from reality shows a clear bias here.

    Obviously false.

    According to the theory that these are genetic defects, the policy in question is how to deal with those genetic defects. Yes, that policy should be based on what it deals with, not with the people it doesn't deal with.

    Weakforge continues their war on truth because truth hurts people's feelings. Rather unreasonably so. :bergman:

    (Another fantasy world rep from Din-Dins)

    Find me a science book that backs you up.

    And/or find me an appearance by Mencia that isn't a sad infomercial that's on at 5 AM.

    Do people even remember how we got here? Do you remember what these retards said?

    They claimed Genetic abnormalities/ defects happen there for no one can objectively say what is genetically normal. That was their claim. So then when they are proven wrong, proven to be the worthless retards they are, then they change tact and claim it is "mean" to state objectively true facts such as those are genetic abnormalities and/or genetic defects.

    Jesus Christ you are dishonest pieces of garbage. Please just kill yourselves so the rest of us no longer have to deal with your stupidity.

    Even though I didn't really know what to expect, I did have fun and enjoyed walking in the parade. And it really seemed like everyone there had a really good time. If it wasn't for all the rainbows and some of the more colorful people there, you would be hard pressed to know or even tell what the parade was about. But I will say of all the different events I've been to, I think this was probably the one where the people were the happiest to participate or be there to watch the parade and enjoy the day.

    Says the dumb shit who was such a liar he claimed homosexuality were not an order of magnitude more likely to be a sex offender.

    You have a right to be stupid but you do not have a right to not have everyone else laugh at your stupidity. Do you hear that sound? It is everyone laughing at you; not with you.

    Er no actually, looking up and down this thread it's quite the opposite way around, do pay attention.

    Also maybe you could also spend the time focusing on some of your basic spelling and grammar, just to make the experience of tearing you apart on a regular basis a little less painful on my eyes?

    I've been trying to figure out how to put it, and this is probably the best what I can say it. I didn't see any hate, bigotry, or prejudice there. Just acceptance, acceptance for everyone. Straight, gay, bi or anything in between. Everyone accepted everyone else for who they are and for being there either because they are gay, trans, bi, etc, or to show support. And not only that, but there were several churches showing support as well, by giving out water to the parade participants or as one church did, they had a sign out allowing anyone to come in and use their restrooms.

    So if anything, there was simple plain acceptance the whole time.

    Which is pretty much what pride festivals are about, I'm a regular attender and no one objects to the straight guy who simply appreciates an event which celebrates humanity without judging.

    Any time you feel tempted to take anything Dickynoo says seriously, just remember this is who you're talking to:

    And this is what he spends his time doing:

    Well, that and posting at Wordforge 100 times a day.

    Once you understand these basic facts, dismissing Dickynoo as an irrelevant crank becomes simple. :)

    You have a poor understanding of genetics. Just because an issue with your genes doesn’t mean they’re defective. Blonde hair is caused by recessive genes, but that doesn’t make it defective. You’re just trying to use your poor understanding of science to justify your bigotry.

    Scientists refer to these as "Disorders of Sexual Development" - i.e. the development process was disordered, rather than saying the development produced a disordered outcome.

    Basically, these - like all so-called "birth defects" - are natural variations. Divergent from the statistical norm but not always a "disorder"

    In general layman's terms, there are three broad groups of variant outcomes-

    the most overlooked are benign variations. The natural redhead, the person with violet eyes, albinoism, left-handed people, and so forth.

    the next are variants which left to themselves decrease quality of life but can be addressed. A child born with a cleft palette, for example, that can be surgically repaired. Trans people fall into this group in that there is an accepted medical proctorial to improve quality of life.

    the third are debilitating variations which negatively impact quality of life, often to a severe degree, and which we do not have a treatment to alleviate. This might range from being blind, to Downs Syndrome, to spina bifida and such like.

    All can crudely be called "defects" but science doesn't call them defects.

    I went to my first ever pride event last week (I'm not positioned to travel a lot)

    Tupelo MS, home of AFA
    About 700 attendees in all which completely blew my mind.

    Blatantly trans friendly too which I understand is not always the case at pride events.

    kinda touchy there dude...fragile even...

    That is not a scientific concept.

    There's a concept of "statistically normal" which is to say the range in which most specimens fall, and statistically abnormal for the outliers. But these terms do not have a right/wrong component - it's simply a description of distribution.

    For clarity, and as not to seem to contradict BizzaroEnt's point, DoSDs are not references to genetic variations per se, but things that take an alternate path during pre-natal development. These cause of these variations may sometimes have a genetic origin but not necessarily so.
