Zionism is very like militant trans activism. Zionists don't like their ideology being questioned either. Taking opponents out is par for the course. Zionists don't have a popular base. Neither do the trans warriors.

With posts like this, it's almost like you're a raging transphobe.

I'm interested in ideologies. Trans activism is fascinating. But I can't see them bringing the ladies onside.

Luckily they all think the same and have you as their spokesman.

It obviously means all writers in their stable including the fruitcake trans. crowd.

Your position is clear on the topic.

Some of them are extremist, Maiden.
They want to.extend trans logic to.everyone.

All the TERF insults.

Gay marriage didn't damage anyone else's rights. Neither did giving cathoics in the 6 counties civil rights.

Moving from a sex based classification to.a gender based where there is no objective definition is pretty big. Why don't we have a national debate about it ?

The word woman in the dictionary is just a word.  It isn't important even if you were correct that it has to be gender based and could be seen as pretentious if you feel the need to point it out to someone.  Your language above is an example of the bigger issue to me (i.e. the adjectives fruitcake before trans) is a good example of real issues which people face every day at school, within their families, when they try to find a job etc.  People are who they are.  Side issues like running in the Olympics is probably the last thing most trans people are thinking about when they are deciding to live a certain way.  Like I said previously I wouldn't think it was very fair if Bruce Jenner entered the women's Decathlon as Caitlin in 1980.   

Below are a couple of interesting articles.  I am not sure but maybe it is why more people seem to want to make this life changing decision than 50 years ago.

[If there is such volume as you claim]

All words are transient in the English language depending on the context.  e.g. 'a person who menstruates' + 'has a womb' + ...  = woman may be true from the perspective of someone who hopes to have a biological child with this person but someone who menstruates being primarily what makes a person a woman is not a relevant definition to someone who owns a woman's shoe shop when a customer comes in to try on a pair of shoes.

Linehan is hiding behind the semantics of what a woman is to hide a general dislike of transgender people.  If he just said transgender people are fruitcakes it would have saved him a lot of tweets and we could all move on.

Do you have any evidence to offer that supports your claim that Linehan has a general dislike of transgender people.

Yes 10 tweets a day

Can you provide the evidence that supports your claim that Linehan has a general dislike of transgender people.
You don't  expect me to just take your word as gospel do you?

Do you know how to use Twitter?

If you dont think the volume of tweets indicates a negative obsession then we'll have to agree to disagree.

No I don't regard the volume of tweets  as evidence of a general hate towards transgender people.
He's interested in some aspects of the issue no doubt.
If there is such volume as you claim,
then is there not ample opportunity for you to present a morsel of evidence of a general hate that Linehan has towards transgender folk?

You can go to his account yourself and see, why are you saying if there is the volume I claim?

You claimed volume of tweets alone  proved Linehan's general hate for Trans folk. It doesn't, it's the content that matters. Can you select the exact tweets from his volume of tweets which you consider to be evidence of this general hate. You are the one who made the claim, now back it up. Just copy and paste the relevent text. I certainly have no desire or time to spend days trawling through a twitter account and then trying to second guess what you consider hateful.

Neither do I, I am done arguing with you. Also he has moved his account to private this morning which he should have done years ago. He had 10 tweets or retweets yesterday alone, some at 9 in the morning some at 9 at night I would have said all of them dont even bother trawling through to find a hateful 1.

This is a useless example, a shop will sell "woman's" shoes to anyone, just as a sports shop will see a GAA jersey to someone that wants to play soccer in it. This only issue here is the customer's willingness to pay.

Generally speaking if there is a chance you might have sex with them in the future then it could be an issue otherwise it only becomes an issue when you make it an issue.

Freedom of speech can only be upheld if the structural inequalities that hinder equal opportunities for underrepresented groups are challenged and changed. if people agree with us

That was pretty much how Rowling's publisher Blair House perceived the 'rebellion' by the 4 authors.

To reiterate, we (Blair House) believe in freedom of speech for all; these clients have decided to leave because we did not meet their demands to be re-educated to their point of view.

They probably had about as much success as me going into a branch of Santander and saying I will close my current account unless they cut all ties with Roman Abramovich

[a grand total of two points for the rest of the season.]

I'd be surprised if Liverpool get 12 points from the next 8 games.  They are playing at half pace with nothing really to play for and Jim Gavin style everyone in the panel will get whatever number of games they need to make sure they all get a medal.

Thankfully they only need five.

Once they get those, it's up to the Klopp and the team how much effort they put into it and whether they care about breaking the 100 point mark.

I think it was the 82-83 season where they won the league with seven games remaining and took a grand total of two points for the rest of the season.

I wouldn't be surprised if something similar happens again.  Maybe if they get a couple of wins early they might be motivated enough to go for 100 points.  Man City have done that already a couple of seasons ago so it debatable if they that bothered about 100 points.

Here's a question for the anoraks out there ......

When is the last time Dublin got beat in an away game in the Championship?

Dublin   0-11 – 2-9   Laois   O'Connor Park, Tullamore 1981 possibly

Tullamore would have been a neutral not an away fixture!

They played a lot of games at neutral venues before 1974. 

1953 Meath   2–6 – 2–5   Dublin  Páirc Tailteann, Navan

Seems to be the last time

The best hope of avoiding controversy is to pick a saints name from about the 10th century that there only is about 2 lines written on, the lines are probably written by a monk in the 12 century and are going to portray the person as a saint so there is a good chance you should be fine with them.  Anyone post about 1800 there is a good chance there will be some dirt on them.

The best way to avoid controversy is to pick somebody or something who didn't fight for slavery.

Name a person and I am confident I could find something on them that at least some people will find controversial

Mother Teresa
Michael Collins
Abraham Lincoln
Winston Churchill

Thief, traitor, nothing jumps out, drunk genocidal bigot.

Do you think there is much demand for a club named after Churchill or Theresa?

Drunk Genocidal bigot for Churchill for sure and in fairness having just read more on Mitchel's wiki page some of his views are not great.

It still holds true that it will be hard to find a person without controversy.  One person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter depending on your point of view could be labelled against practical every club named after a person who fought in the conflict in Ireland.
