Shame.
Hard to imagine how anyone can actually be prejudice to all this as we all get it shoved down our necks at every opportunity. From enforced wearing of pronoun badges, mandatory LGBQT+/E&D training, almost monthly 'awareness days', letters from school explaining how they have updated their training to reflect new government policy (currently now being reviewed!) that states LGBQT must be 'fully integrated', constant virtue signalling news and media articles from organisations trying to climb to the top of some ridiculous moral high ground.

I don't have an issue with gender dysphoria, but I do have an issue with the prominence it is being given in our society now versus the number of people who actually have it. From my experience with my children it seems that it's now become something of a trend to decide that one is transexual. The fact that this stuff is now confusing our children should be alarm bells for everyone. Sturgeon resigned because she had made such a horlicks of gender identity, if the Scottish government can't even figure out what a man and a woman is then we should at least start to open this up for a proper discussion. That means not branding opinions that contradict your own as 'bigoted' or 'prejudice'.

You can't say things like that without being branded 'Nazi' 'Fascist' 'dinosaur' 'gammon' etc.

Downton Abbey was set in 20th century.

But when did facts bother wokeism?

So demanding that people be treated equally and not discriminated against because they are in a minority group is wokeist?

PATHETIC!

My dear fellow Prpuner,

I believe, in a non-shouty way, that minorities should be respected, but majorities in a democracy should have their will upheld.

However, the bottom line is that every one of us is a minority, with our personal Venn diagram.

If you want a debate rather than an argument I suggest that you should cut out the capital letters, exclamation marks and abuse, it sits better on this forum.

And if the will of the majority is not to respect the minority but rather supress or oppress them, where do you stand then?

Having morphed into an almost inevitable back and forth hardly worthy of JetBlast, time to close this thread.
