No i didnt. I asked you what varying view points you are talking about, that prompts an open, intelligent discussion about LGBT and the demonstration.
You did not answer me, it was someone else.
And you did say exatly that. Here is your own quote:
This isnt a political subject. Discrimination isnt up for a political debate.
And of course it is up for depate. For example what action are discrimination and what are not.
Opinions is just that. Opinions. Claims without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence. Claims need to be substantiated. When you argue: “one could just call yourself a woman, then enter a woman contest, and win it”, then thats an unsubstantiated claim, a strawman argument.
Thats what i mean. You just say “Strawman” and ignore the real argument i made.
I never claimed, that i can say “i am a woman now” and compete against woman, i just asked if it would be ok.
The first argument i brought up was, that transgender have an advantage over born female, so why is it fair, that transgender can compete against born females.
You can find dozens of examples by just googling things like “man wins women’s tournament”. That is reality
Allthough you seem to think churches, that offer public services, who are exempt from taxes, can do just that.
Well they can and do in a lot of places. But i dont know why you bring that up. I am not supporting that behavior of the church, i just pointed it out. And explained that people might feel discriminated, if they are forced to do something, that is against their believes.
And with that we would be back at “Discrimination isnt up for a political debate”
You would say same sex marriage is not discriminating against people of that church, even if their religion forbids same sex marriage. People who are part of that church would beg to differ. Who is in the right? Well, that is something one could discuss about ![]()
And one last thing. This is not meant to be an insult or somthing. But if we now go again to “This is just a Strawman” without talking about the arguments made, i will just not answer anymore. I hope you understand ![]()
