Not at all GJ. I can watch Arnold or Sly slashing their way through any amount of action film gore, but a real-life documentary about a hospital or anything medical, and I go down like a bag of spanners.

Gender "reassignment" surgery is now offensive and hurtful.

It's now "gender CONFIRMATION surgery" because you're not "reassigning" gender. The person's gender is the person's gender regardless of their bits and pieces. The surgery is only being made to confirm the person's gender, because their body has it wrong. The real gender is what a person feels like, not what their bits are. When you call it "reassignment" you're attacking the basic humanity of a trans person, and refusing to acknowledge that a trans person in a male body is really female or other non-male. It's a denial of that person's identity, and constitutes real harm to the person. It is tantamount to hate speech and violence.

The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

Have you read anything of this thread other than its title?

In fact, do you believe any of what you've just written?

5.25 x 7 sometimes comes across as someone who doesn't really have the confidence to state their actual view on something like this, so they plump for the smoke and mirrors of faux irony and hope for plausible deniability if it gets a bit sticky. On might reasonably presume the 378 / 9 actually thinks the exact opposite of what they've posted there.

17640.5 just over does the sarcasm. I don't think he lacks the confidence to state his position. It's pretty clear.

My sum isn't wrong. Yours is, however, as pointed out by Hermione. :smug:
