Why did you make a thread about a trans man entering a competition previously only allowed female entrants?  Will Mr Pink Be The Next Spalding Flower Queen? - General Discussions - Sheffield Forum  There's a strong whiff of bull emanating from your posts That topic has got nothing to do with trans citizens. It is about a bloke dressed in pink entering a contest which should be just for females. I am interested in upholding traditional values and respect. There are places for blokes and one place is not on a float pretending to be a flower Queen and depriving a young female of the honour.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

There are places for blokes and one place is not on a float pretending to be a flower Queen and depriving a young female of the honour.  If you were interested in upholding traditional values and respect, why do you only ever discuss them in the context of people's sexual orientation or identity. And it isn't even about promoting traditional values and respect, but putting members of the LGBT community down?  If upholding traditional values and respect were so important to you why do you not castigate people who have affairs, or who take the Lord's name in vain, or go shopping on a Sunday, or swear, or lie?  It wouldn't be because you like to promote traditional values and respect when they coincide with your prejudices would it?

What are your thoughts on the LGB part of the group who don't want to be associated with the Ts? Are they phobic too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Well the topic title is Scarlet Blake -Why Are The Media Calling This Murderer A She Though it was provided with little explanation in the opening post, and no verifiable link to any news report(s).  This seems to be related to the media reporting of the actual court case, rather than opinion pieces about the trial and the crimes themselves. I provided some explanation for that back in post 45 . Unsurprisingly few folk chose to engage with that post, so maybe it didn't support their teeming outrage. Essentially court reports should faithfully represent the trials; journalists have specific training on the subject, such as this IPSO (International Press Standards organisation) Guidance on court reporting  Thus court reporting, whether in print or otherwise, should really reflect the court's proceedings; discussion afterwards is different. My previous post addressed the court's own guidelines. Post trial discussion is fair game, both addressing the nature of the crime(s), the offender(s) and the effect on the public. There is no shortage of the latter for anyone who looks. A real danger is that can lead to headlines such as this, which might seek to lead its audience to believe that all trans folk are depraved. That of course is part of the US hard right ideology; Spiked UK is well known to be funded via Spiked US How US billionaires are fuelling the hard-right cause in Britain That Spiked magazine’s US funding arm received $300,000 from the Charles Koch Foundation suggests a hidden agenda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I never knew that you were so sensitive about someone being misgendered.  Oh you haven't. It's just an opportunity to have a go trans people.

Haven't you got some campaigning to be getting on with to get Mr Pink elected to be the next Spalding Flower Queen?  BTW, I think you might have misgendered Mr Pink because you implied he is trans yesterday, but in that is the case he would not be using the prefix Mr.  Or perhaps the Cheeky Girls are also trans?
