@BillTurner231 @JOHNDANIELOTAFU I bet he had no problem after the first bolt hit him...

[Montaigne @JonathanTipton2]

@BansheesRUs @ddsnorth @jan_murray Which is rather like saying: if they stopped talking about 'being gay' in school, fewer kids would choose to be gay (I.e. the 'Section 28' claim).

[Montaigne @JonathanTipton2]

@BansheesRUs @ddsnorth @jan_murray In other words, the kids who are transgender.

@TheBritLad Tell that to the Sikh woman raped, because her attacker thought she was a Muslim.

[Montaigne @JonathanTipton2]

@BansheesRUs @ddsnorth @jan_murray Almost all children if told by an adult: 'You're actually a boy/girl...', will reply: 'No, I'm not.'

[Montaigne @JonathanTipton2]

@SuzytheFox @DreyfusJames Then why does everyone I challenge over trans rights - even AFTER I say the anti-trans movement are rehashing the anti-gay rhetoric - always come out with old 'it's not scientific', 'forcing children to choose to be trans (gay)', etc., tropes...?

[Montaigne @JonathanTipton2]

@Vanderbilt83 @DreyfusJames If you 'lived, campaigned and fought' against Section 28, you really should know better.

[Montaigne @JonathanTipton2]

@RobertJenrick Shocker! Man Tries to Punch WPC - Then Gets Arrested. 😲

[Montaigne @JonathanTipton2]

@ddsnorth @jan_murray Nobody is forcing anything against their will.

No child is being mutilated, by schools or otherwise, and even puberty blockers are hard to acquire, even with parental consent.

[Montaigne @JonathanTipton2]

@ddsnorth @jan_murray There definitely was such a thing during Nazi Germany.

Transgenderism was being written about, and gender reassignment treatment and surgery was being pioneered in 1930's Germany.

The Nazis banned it.

[Montaigne @JonathanTipton2]

@JohnJamesNI As a gay man, do you want to see all the homophobic arguments used in the 1980's-1990's repackaged and redirected against the transgender community...?

[Montaigne @JonathanTipton2]

@IngridWill08 @jan_murray Except if you are a gay/transgender child, or/and in a gay/transgender family...

[Montaigne @JonathanTipton2]

@sarahjhleech @jan_murray Except the same homophobic twaddle from the 1980's-1990's is being rehashed and redirected against the transgender...

[Montaigne @JonathanTipton2]

@ddsnorth @jan_murray Yes, because the Nazis were so positive about transgender...

[Montaigne @JonathanTipton2]

@begoniatulip @DreyfusJames I don't need AI to detect the repetition:

'It's unscientific/a perversion'; 'it's a choice/children are at risk of being told it's a viable choice'; 'we are not safe in our sports/ spaces'; etc.

It's all there.

[Montaigne @JonathanTipton2]

@Vanderbilt83 @DreyfusJames Really? I heard plenty of arguments that LGB people shouldn't be allowed to participate in male/female sports, or enter their 'safe spaces'...

Maybe you didn't live in the same 1980's-1990's I did.

[Montaigne @JonathanTipton2]

@NJ_Timothy 'Justice should be blind' - Agreed; which is the point of Unconscious Bias training, obviously...

[Montaigne @JonathanTipton2]

@Marblechops79 @owenjonesjourno However, it is not committed most prolifically by 'Muslims and Coloured people'.
