Twitter (Part 1)

There seems little point in debating with someone who is introducing entirely irrelevant issues to the debate.

I’m not even sure you realise the contradiction between comparing trans rights in Ireland only versus FGM in the whole world.

Unrelated issues. Arbitrary geographical restrictions on what is a valid comparison.

Hang on, you think it doesn’t happen in Ireland?

This is actual human rights abuse in Ireland. Happening now. Says a lot you know more about spoofy trans rights than actual human rights abuse alright. It’s another one of those comfortable easy to make yourself look good causes, because they’ve already got their rights

Tell me, please, what rights don’t trans people have in Ireland now?

She’s talking about a very specific issue in Australia, where she says most Aboriginees in Aussie prison are there for domestic abuse / child protection. That doesn’t really apply to the original BLM protests in the US. In the US they’ve got the 3 strike rule which has put lots of black people in prison for life for non-violent crimes.

I very clearly didn’t say that. You said FGM ā€œin other parts of the world.ā€ I’m merely conveying your own parameters back to you.

Completely unrelated issues. Even a simpleton can see that surely.

WHATABOUT!?!?

They are unrelated 100% because one is actual human rights abuse and the other is made up.

Were you aware this was happening in Ireland?

What human rights are denied trans people in Ireland? If it’s none, feel free to say it.

Which one is actual abuse of human rights?

What rights are denied trans people?

Yes. Very aware thanks.

You are confusing the law with the actual experience of people. FGM is illegal in Ireland. That doesn’t mean it can’t happen.

There are some limited rights for trans people in Ireland. That doesn’t mean there isn’t widespread discrimination. Gobshites saying it’s made up and things like that. There are serious issues about access to medical care and attention. There are very restrictive rights for younger people.

So there’s an answer to your ridiculous question. And finally an admission from you that you compared two incomparable things for no reason at all.

Hozier said ā€œTrans-rights are human rightsā€. This was a statement of fact. This simple statement of fact has completely destroyed your day.

I’m fairly sure Hozier does not support FGM, I’m fairly sure he’s a feminist who has supported a very wide range of feminist-type issues such as abortion, childline etc. The limit on a tweet is 280 characters so I don’t know how Hozier could be expected to squeeze a reference to FGM into every single tweet he makes.

And he is not ā€œHozier - World Policeā€ expected to wade into every single internet wrong before he says anything else - like before he’s allowed say ā€œTrans-rights are human rightsā€ he has to fix JK Rowling’s problems and FGM while he’s at it.

FUCK WE NEED FOOTBALL

The rights we voted for and everyone celebrated, what’s changed?
There are serious issues around access to medical care in Ireland for everyone.

Does that mean we all have our human rights infringed upon?

Younger people, like how young @Rocko

Also how is it a human rights infringement to have a different belief system than a trans person? If so, they are equally guilty of it, by trying to take away the sexuality of people. People who menstruate. Really.

As I said. Equality, plus extras

Look @Tank, you’re a grand fella but it’s impossible talk to you. You half try and be funny and half try and be serious and in a remarkable twist of fate, manage to achieve neither

I didn’t read any of your post but the last line garners a like

That’s a great line which I will probably steal

Are you entirely incapable of debating without introducing other irrelevancies?

There are specific issues about medical rights for trans people and availability of support for those transitioning is very different depending on what the transition is. But I don’t expect you to know that.

A different belief system does not equate to discrimination. Also a different belief system doesn’t give people the right to discriminate against others.

But it’s clear by now that you havent thought any of this true. In fact that was clear from your first absurd post.

So you think it’s ok for trans people to discriminate against everyone else? That isn’t a human rights infringement, but discriminating against a trans person is.

Would you be so kind as to point me in the direction of material on the medical rights issue.

What age are the young people you mentioned before?

You’d have to agree with her…if these people really wanna do good go into the communities and get involved to make a difference. The only bone of contention I’d like to pick is that the violence being felt in the aboriginal community has to be put in a racist frame and generations of white influence have ripped their society apart and their men have no purpose, no meaning and no future… It can’t be a coincidence that it’s the exact same in native American communities.

I don’t think they are exactly comparable there’s still huge tracts of land where aboriginal communities can live relatively free from white influence,not at all like reserves in the states, but you raise a deeper issue about life’s purpose given capitalism or European society is alien to many communities especially a traditionally hunter gatherer one like aborigines. Is the notion they had no purpose and meaning is through a western spectrum? I think that’s specific to native societies although there’s plenty of first nations thriving in the US and Canada, so too broad a stroke from you there.

It’s boomeranging back to where we started.

The three strike rule doesn’t just jail blacks though overpolicing does add to their numbers incarcerated. The point she’s making which applies to the BLM movement is two fold. Firstly the virtue signallers and the state are nowhere to be seen when people are trying to break free from the cycles of despair. Secondly the communities themselves have to admit there’s huge issues and that they need help addressing them. There’s insane issues with domestic violence in aboriginal communities. There’s an insane level of absentee father’s in the American black community. 75% of black family’s are single parent. Where’s the guidance and structure for young black men to show them right from wrong, to make them feel protected,for them to emulate. Not at home so they get it often in gangs instead. But when it’s raised,as Obama did, there isn’t much follow on as even being seen to question that scares media and politicians that they might be considered racist, and public perception is far more important than actual solutions for harm as has been seen recently.
