Well, I declare, if it isn't the illustrious Cinemachinery. Blade joining this forum must have really motivated you, didn't it? Blade's been here from the start but you knew that already. If he was here from the start I didn't notice until he did the God Bless President Trump thread, but of course you can believe whatever you like. |

I'm so relieved to see you here to put the board to rights. I didn't know what to do. You've been doing a very bad job of putting it right... |

Good question - I'm not even sure that's "slippery slope" so much as logical follow-up questions on the topic. Given that the function of those programs and institutions are to rectify or address issues specific to living life as a woman in our society, if the individual in question is doing just that then my gut reaction would be "yes". But I'm hardly prepared to iron out and qualify every implication behind those questions as some actor in Chicago, I'm just wondering at the numbers behind the "danger" of trans individuals in repealing these laws. Myself, I've had several people in my sphere (the southern end) ask me "Would you let your four year old daughter be in a restroom with one of these people?", like they're all paedo time bombs that were just waiting on these laws to arrive so they could harvest a field of kids. But I've worked with several, I've performed with several, I still hang out with several - I don't really see the connection.
Although when you just leave it at "identify" it sort of puts me in mind of some bearded uber-left dude on a website that features "otherkin" or something saying he "identifies as a woman".

Nice to see you. I appreciate you're a busy man so I'll try to clear these up for you... What could possibly be the motivation behind requesting a breakdown on the societal benefits of being homosexual? Why on earth would the category need to meet any form of baseline in that regard? When was the last time you heard someone ask how being a redhead benefited society? It's a fairly low brow attempt by a bigot who's not as clever as he thinks he is to argue "against" homosexuality as far as I can tell. Does the ever-shifting definition of what constitutes a "planet" have any real bearing on whether or not we consider Pluto (or any of the other remote outer orbiting bodies) worthy of study? Why would the debate on the criteria behind the value that defines "planet" be of any great concern beyond pedanticism? Good question. I think people like to classify things though and definitions are important. Perhaps overly so to some people. How many instances of trans individuals assaulting or pestering children in public restrooms (or anyone else, sexually or otherwise) exist? How does that number compare to, say, the number of politicians who have been charged with public indecency via public restrooms? None to the first one. By comparison there have been loads of politicians. So by logical extension of the argument we should ban politicians from using any public restrooms. In fact - probably best to be on the safe side and just ban them from all potential contact with the public through any medium. Anything else, just let me know. |

Welcome, CC. Very glad to see you. We have 57 members of old RFS here and hope to continue RFS and make it even better. Hopefully, the board will start feeling more likeable in near future. That's a lot of members! Do you know which ones aren't here? |

That's a lot of members! Do you know which ones aren't here? Well, Merv, isapop, bazarov and Forthenonce may join this site in near future. The regulars who are missing and have not confirmed if they may join in future are Cash, Tas, Dramatis, Jairu, Lebens and untrve Poisoned_Dragon, Rowan and Sailor-J have said that they won't join any IMDB replacement. I hope they change their mind in future. There may be many other missing on this site but I can't recall them all at the moment. |

I'm so relieved to see you here to put the board to rights. I didn't know what to do. You've been doing a very bad job of putting it right... I know, right? I even slept with a couple of moderators, but they just won't do for me what they do for Cine. They don't call him Mr. 33 for nothin' (that's centimeters, by the way). |

They don't call him Mr. 33 for nothin' (that's centimeters, by the way). Cine's inadequacies notwithstanding, just what is putting the board to rights? It's a question that I have struggled with since I first bumbled onto this board about four and a half years ago. Most people don't ask themselves these questions because they are convinced that they know the answers already. I spoke with Cine on the phone recently and he actually said something I agreed with regarding the subject of religion. |

I gave up my conception of "putting the board to rights" a long time ago. Complaining only serves to encourage those whose behavior we don't like. It doesn't matter what I or anyone else wants. The board will be as it is within the rules of the administrators. If I ever find it intolerable, I will simply leave. It won't be the first time I've walked away from a board. |
