As per usual, another useful post. Thanks Ex. - Looking forward to your responses to what will no doubt be a heartbreaking Season 8 of Jazz. Take care and keep fighting the good fight!👌

I fall somewhere between the Narrator and Storm, but that bit was an absolute gem! Thank you!

Thank you! This was excellent. Sometimes I think I should claim to be a trans woman; why not? if trans women are women, and I am a woman, then why can't I be a trans woman? Oh, because they are men, you say? Oops....

I can tell sometimes who I can talk about this to, but it isn't my best friend from nursing school. I posted something on FB a week ago and she blocked me. Then tried to start a fight over text. I've been her best friend, her sister, for 30 years. I know her too well, she got told off by some other Terfs; and became jealous. I didn't see it for hours. I'm sure she acted impulsively and wishes she hadn't, but she never apologises. She bosses me around, but she's like family. I don't know what to do; my heart is broken. I never thought this would happen.

Liesel, I too have had friends / family who were fine with me as long as they could boss me around. At age 69 I have been through too much to put up with any form of abuse whatsoever, so into the woodstove went my personality-disordered sister's and her know-it-all, sneering son's Christmas cards. I painfully wish I had a sister, but not one who's crazy and mean. Your friend has shown you exactly how much your friendship meant to her. I hope you can find some genuine, loving friends!

Sadly, Minchin is all "Why can't everyone just accept each other" ignorance, last I saw. Imagine what songs he could write if he understood what was happening to children.

That Storm film I made it halfway through. I'm seeing both of these people as faith-based, but only one of the two realizes it. Materialism is a belief system. You know, make believe! The mechanical, materialistic priesthood that grew out of Protestant Europe and pretends to be objectivity has become truly catholic, as in it is universally accepted in every country of the world. The Big Bang never happened. Check out the James Webb Space Telescope findings. Crisis in cosmology!

I watched the video and didn’t quite get it? The narrator is the same as the hippy. Was that the point?

No Tim's position was that the narrator was right and the hippie was wrong.

He needs to take a chill pill. 😉 The U.K. and Denmark are no longer vaccinating under 50s against covid, except in special cases. They acknowledge the side effect risks. Yet they’ll still inject kids with puberty blockers and testosterone. 🙄

In the end you're describing a Chinese Communist Struggle Session.

The forced recitation of whatever bullshit nonsense the commies make you say.

That's where we are.

YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE, "under his eye" is now transphobia.

Everyone is urged to begin saying "under zer nonbinary eye" instead.

That is all

How do you recommend addressing this with people who don’t believe in biological sex?

Identify as an afab trans woman or amab trans man and watch as they believe in sex again.

It still sounds quite a way off, but in May I shall be speaking my mind with-in my family, and will likely be ex-communicated by one branch. However that one branch may well cause a bigger split, which I will still feel responsible for, however, it needs doing, the waiting is killing me.

I have to wait until May because there are a few large family events between now and then, and I don't want to cause a huge split before. It's like a f'ing mindfield navigating this shit, and with a large family, I have to find a route that will cause the least amount of long term damage, to everyone.
