    HOw interesting that you don’t bother to tell us the "other’ choices… mainly because there aren’t any! Or if they are, they are so obviously biased in the Palestinian’s favour that there is no readson for Israel to accept them.

    Oh, so you think it is wrong to WIN a war against those whose only intent (for over 75 years) has been genocide from thebeginning?

    The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem met HITLER on 1942 to try and get his help in eliminating ALL Jews from the Holy Land. That Was BEFORE Israel existed, BEFORE the Refugee problem, BEFORE Gaza or the west Bank, BEFORE Netanyahu or the Orthodox and the settlments; In other words, the intention of genocide by teh arabs against the Jews existed BEFORE any of the pretexts used to justify their murderous ways. All based on religous hatred and a refusal for anyone other than Musims to have ANY power in the region. Your credibility is total sh*t! Try reading a history book instead of Palestinain propaganda!

    Nope… Israel is trying to exist, Hamas is trying to destroy everyone and everything around them with absolutley NO reposonsibility towards its own people. If you can’t see the difference, you are blind.

    Israel’s FIRST duty is towards its own citizens…NOT to those of the enemy. Alllowing Hamas to escape through a cease fire now is only kicking the can down the road to further assaults on Israel; Hamas has promised as much. Hamas’s first duty is to ITS citizens. But it uses them as human shields and WANTS a high death rate as it can be used for propaganda purposes. Hamas could have let its own people shelter in the tunnels from the bombing, but declared: "The tunnels are for us; Let the UN protect our citizens. "Hamas used billions to create its terrorist network rather than use the money for building useful infrastructure and comerncial businesses. They have been stealing the food and medical aid sent in and been selling it back to their own people at inflated prices. Hamas’ Charter calls openly for genocide, not only of Israelis but of “all Jews everywhere”. They also state as their ultimate goal to "convert or kill all infidels (that means YOU!) while creating a world-wide Muslim Caliphate.

    You obviously know NOTHING about the situatioin, the people, the culture – and have swallowed whole thepack of lies which make up most of the Palestinian narrative. Ethnic cleansing is done by them, not Israel. Apartheid is NOT present in Israel, where there is a diversity and freedom which NO surrounding Muslim state comes even close to emulating. Palestiiain Israelis can vote, run for office, are on the judiciary and even teh Supteme Court, fight in the Israeli army AGAINST Hamas, and have better lives under Israeli rule than any Arab anywhere in teh Middle East. Try and find anything similar for non-Muslims … you won’t!

    Your level of ignorance or naivete are astounding;

    You are being either disingenuous or simply don’t understand. To a REAL trans person (as opposed to those following a trend) it is not at all a “proclivity”. It is a deeply held psychological certainty that they were born in the wrong body. It is REAL to them, but the average person (YOU!) or the media selling scandal or especially politicos searching votes – it is falsely presented as “a choice”. It is NOT. The same thing was done 60 years ago concerning homosexuality. Touted by psychiatrists as an illness as “I’ve never seen a homosexual who isn’t psychologically ill”, the public accepted that version. Until someone pointed out that one doesn’t GO to a psychiatrist if one is WELL – so of course they only saw sick gays. The Medical profession was forced to admit that their own prejudices blinded them to the most obvous of facts!The religions claimed it as a “sin” (their claim to fame) so they insisted that homosexuality was “a choice”. One can CHOOSE to be “good”. Blah blah! ANYTHING not to simply accept a fact they didn’t like – or lose power over the social narrative!

    But this is typical of Conservatives. They mistrust diversity. More important, from a political angle – they always use DIFFERENCE as a way to make political points, by taking a minority group without much clout AND who most people don’t know SH*T about – and then use scare tacitcs (“They are after your children!”) Works every time to a certain kind of the electorate! They did this when Blacks and Whites wanted to marry; “Think of the children who will be teased in school!” blah blahThey trotted out the SAME arguments 30 years later against gay marriage. They are now trotting out the same arguments against trans people: “your children are in danger from rapistsdressed as women!”You have been expertly manipulated. A well-oiled propaganda machine used by the press, the politicians and the religous to keep you in their camp. But it is based on lies! Wake up!

    You are making a spurious simplification based on the kinds of articles or press given by the tabloids. Young people gravitate immediately towards trends that seem to single them out as different and draw attention. They will move on to the next trend within minutes/days or months. These are the ones you mock for changing all the time, but it is youth in general and not only those calling themselves trans.

    Unfortunately, young trans people today have been highly influenced by gay militant tactics from 30 years ago. VISIBILITY was the key to gaining acceptance. Militants have convinced them they should use the same tactic! But REAL trans people traditoinally never really sought visibility. Most simply want to PASS and be left alone to live their lives unhindered. The Feminist movement made a similar error in tactics. Told incessantly that to be fulfiulled they needed to go out into the business world and compete effectively like men, MANY women followed this ideologically-based advice only to finally admit that it was NOT making them happier. For some women it was a good thing, for many not.Trans poeple have been led astray in the same way. Told what they SHOULD want, many are now parading around dressed like the Kardashians and trying to tell eveyone that they MUST be accepted “as they are”. The backlash has been sobering! Perhaps the most succesful trans person in history was a man who lived his life (in the military or politics or whatever) – was married with chldren, and was highly respected by everyone. It was only on his death bed that an autopsy showed that he was in fact a biological woman. He had managed to live his entire life without seeking visibility. And was happer for it!

    You are badly informed. There are all kinds of evidence but I’m not going to start explaining most of it.

    Do your own research.

    HINT: check out hormone levels of mothers during the gestation period.Check out explanations about why more gays are second or third children (and one needs to take into account the possible miscarriage of a first child which will also make a difference in the body’s to second or third foetuses which seems to habve a direct link (according to WHEN in teh gestatoin period) as to whether the child will have a greater propensity to be gay or not.

    Check out the FIRST true indication that gay people’s bodies react differently to varous medicinal treatments… BETWEEN the average male or female reactions, as if tehy were in fact a “third sex”.(The most interesting thing about this last one is that what was being tested had NOTHING to do with sexual orientation. it was simply a plain study of the hormonal effects of a new drug on men and women. Men’s and women’s bodies reacted clearly differently on a scale. But there was there was an n tire group whose results were halfway between the two. The scientists couldn’t understand why. They started looking for something in common with the third grouping. In the end, the ONLY commonality factor was that they all turned out to be gay! It proved that there was a biological difference to gay people. Clearly! The result came as a comlete surprise because they weren’t even looking for such factors. It was the very first time science had found a REAL specific proof that biology creates a major difference in gay people.

    So you are completely wrong and poorly informed about your assumptions.

    I understand the idea;..but if another woman tried to expalin soething to a woan, she would not be put down for it; They would use it as teh basis for a discussion. ONce it is a man doing it – it is put into the category of “toxic masucliinity”. And why shooluld a person (in tehis case a man) ASSUME that teh othe person already konws a subject as well as better before tehy have gotten deeper into conversation? The whole principle is finding one more way to complain about men.

    A total misreprentation that doesn’t really warrant a serous reply. The Right did the same for 30 years regarding homosexuality (and are still doing it ): pretending it is a choice as opposed to a biological/psychological reality; Bye

  9. 10 days ago on Michael Ramirez

    Good point made, but the Right is hardly any better in its own way. S busy defending Capitalism while the entire planet is being destroyed by it is even more nefarious (for bottom line gain as opposed to anything resembling any real care for others)

    Cons refused the science of Global Warming; They refused the science of Vaccination; They refused teh science of homosoexuality NOT being “a choice”. They refuse the fact that a blastula is NOT a person, only a potential person.

    Who is Ramirez to be so smug about his criticisms?

    The trans athletes are not biological women, but they HAVE generally been changed biologically through estrogen hormone treatments. A lot of extra strength that males generally have is weakend by estrogen to the point where MOST trans athletes do not do markedy better against genuinely biological women.

    Some sports therefore could be open to trans women without any real advantage.

    Examples: billiards, table tennis, jockeys in horseracing or in horse jumping competitions (where they already compete against men!) Some can almost certainly not. The entire question should be judged on a case by case scale.

    On the other hand, I do disagree with a trans person claiming (if they do) to be “real” women. No, tehy are TRANS women. Isn’t that a good enough expalnatoin of who tehy are? NOBODY could dismiss that claim and that is what tehy should be saying about themselves.

    If 200 years after their death their bones were found in an ossuary, scientists would say the skeletons belonged to a group of men, according to DNA Samples.But if we change the criteria from genetic to psychological, there is nobody who can truly debate the fact that a trans person can feel like she was supposed to be a woman, feels more real as a woman, and identifies completely from a very young age as female. Nobody can take that away from her; And why would they want to try?
