Happy Birthing Persons' Day! Isn't that an insane twist by the leftists/woke crowd?

[OlderAndWiser]

The National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (NARAL) now refers to Mother's Day as "Birthing People's Day." As they explained in a May 6 Tweet:

"When we talk about birthing people, we're being inclusive. It's that simple. We use gender neutral language when talking about pregnancy, because it's not just cis-gender women that can get pregnant and give birth. Reproductive freedom is for *every* body."

Has any man ever given birth to a baby? (Some chick who declared herself to be a man but still has ovaries and a uterus does not count as a man.) Why do you need to be gender neutral when only women can give birth to a child?

Are the people on the far left so devoid of the ability to view themselves objectively that they actually think this makes sense?

Yes, this is rather damned stupid

No, they are trying to be gender neutral!

[Knighted2170]

Well let's see here.

Since I'm male at birth, I have no right to any say in the matter. But if I was female at birth and identified as male, I could have a say (maybe).

But, here's my opinion anyway. Let's have a go at it anyway and see what happens.

By just saying "birthing person" they are objectifying women. The one thing that women who are born female and identify as female are fighting against. A "birthing person" reads as nothing more than a incubator test tube needed for a gestation period.

What if instead we change the marks on every document that has genders to "birthing person" and "non-birthing person"?

Change this sites name to "Birthing Person Asks Non-Birthing Person"?

We can have birthing person toys and non-birthing person toys. Hell, we can even have birthing person and non-birthing person clothing department's in our stores.

I guess I no longer date women. I'll introduce that individual to everyone as my birthing person friend and see how that flies.

I think I'll check on medical coverage before I do that.

It’s simply being inclusive to people who don’t have a cookie cutter definition of being a female or being a mother.
Frankly, I think you’re being venomous for literally no reason.
Especially as a male- who are you, genuinely, to have a say in womanhood or motherhood? None. Thank you.
It has absolutely nothing to do with politics... and to try to drag politics into it is honestly just awkward. You’re trying too hard in that regard.
Quite simply- females don’t have a single purpose or image. And yes, technically there could be an instance in which someone who identifies as male gives birth. While you might not personally agree with that that for your own reasons, you have absolutely NO right to thrust your personal hatred and opinions onto someone to try and invalidate them. If someone identifies as a male and gives birth then by all means, they would then be the father to that child if that’s how they chose to present themselves to their offspring. So a day like “mother’s day” could be a day of emotional abuse by one’s community.
Ignorant and abusive people such as yourself that might wish said person a happy “mother’s” day and ignoring their identity as a male.
It’s literally nothing but ignorant and abusive.

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Beautifully done 😊

[OlderAndWiser]

Please explain to me who else other than mothers gives birth to children. Who is it that was previously excluded who is now included by this liberated term?

"It has absolutely nothing to do with politics" This is promoted by the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League and it is NOT political? Do you REALLY believe that?

"who are you, genuinely, to have a say in womanhood or motherhood?" So you would like to silence the voice of all who oppose your beliefs? That is a common characteristic of those on the far left. You claim to be tolerant but you only tolerate those who tell you that your beliefs are right.

"females don’t have a single purpose or image." I never suggested that and you are raising that a a strawman argument. Do you know what that means?

"technically there could be an instance in which someone who identifies as male gives birth." Someone who identifies as a male? You mean someone who was born a female but thinks she wants to be a man?

"technically there could be an instance in which someone who identifies as male gives birth." Someone who identifies as a male? You mean someone who was born a female but thinks she wants to be a man?

"technically there could be an instance in which someone who identifies as male gives birth." Someone who identifies as a male? You mean someone who was born a female but thinks she wants to be a man?

"technically there could be an instance in which someone who identifies as male gives birth." Okay, explain to me how someone born without a uterus or ovaries can give birth. Maybe I'm just stupid and need you to explain things to me.

"you have absolutely NO right to thrust your personal hatred and opinions onto someone to try and invalidate them." When did I do that?

If someone gave birth to a child, they are that child's mother. It does matter what kind of surgery they have later to mutilate themselves.

Please respond, mighty keyboard warrior!

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Uh... did you kind of stroke out at the end there of your first post?

To answer some of those questions, whether you would like to believe it or not, it is possible for a legally recognized male who was AFAB to give birth. Personal bias on how it should be doesn't make it right by those who have an understanding that things aren't as binary as you would like nor is your interpretation of it correct even by legal definitions.

Someone who was born AFAB but identifies as a man... is a man. He doesn't think he is a man. He just is.

Nobody is trying to silence your voice. I think the idea is for you to lower and actually talk instead of being insulting.

[jaybee281]

@Ez-Bri-Z Gender dysphoria is a pathology - not my words - the American psychology association's words - Soon it will probably change so trans aka alienware get more rights - When you have a vagina and want a dick that's just Freud being right about penis envy - when you're a man and want a vagina and boobs that means you're a pussy who wasn't raised right - you don't need empathy - You need professional psychiatric help - Not to double down on your pathology and actually live it😂😂😂😂Only women can give birth I swear I thought people can only be high getting confused about men giving birth - It should be common sense but I'll ask you to make a bit of an effort and use some rationality..

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Aww look at that valiant effort! You typed all of that up and nobody cares. 🏳️‍🌈

[OlderAndWiser]

@Ez-Bri-Z Not exactly brilliant repartee!

[jaybee281]

@Ez-Bri-Z Aww look at the person who's never had an actual argument and resorts to petty insults trying to get a rise out of the other person😭

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Does it have to be? I've defended the position many times on these threads and one thing I learned is most of you are stubborn to the core. Even if I wanted to have a civil discourse with them, they refuse to either A) be civil or B) listen to any statistics and facts that don't meet their narrative.

Now I will say there have been a few that I have found middle ground with and those people are super awesome possum, but I can already tell it won't be like that here.

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Feel free to go through my many, many opinions on this kind of topic if you want my stance and statistics on the matter. When you come out of the gate being insulting, dont expect me to take the high ground and try to convince you otherwise. I frankly don't care at that point and consider the debate a lost cause.

[Juxtapose]

If you are not biologically a woman then you're not a woman, what is so fucking hard about this?

[OlderAndWiser]

@Juxtapose CNN and PMSNBC has messed with their grey matter.

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Ooh intersexed people are gonna give you a dirty look now.

[OlderAndWiser]

@Ez-Bri-Z Do I GAF?

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Jokes on you, I dont even watch TV. Rots the brain and makes you hateful instead of just living life and getting the experiences yourself

[Ez-Bri-Z]

I have no idea if you do or don't, but again you seem to keep thinking I care.

[OlderAndWiser]

@Ez-Bri-Z Obviously, if you think I care, it is an optical illusion.

[Ez-Bri-Z]

K, cool story.

[OlderAndWiser]

@Ez-Bri-Z Yeah, but it's not a "story."

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Then why are you peddling your fiction around here?

[OlderAndWiser]

@Ez-Bri-Z Why am I saying things of which you disapprove? Because I express my opinions and if others disagree, that's okay. Doesn't matter to me. I don't need everyone to agree with me. If you don't want to agree, that's okay.

If you want to stand there exasperated and belittle my opinions, it just reflects your intolerance. Or, you could say we disagree, that's okay, good bye.

Your choice.

[Ez-Bri-Z]

No, no. You can absolutely state your opinions, but let me show you a better way to do it.

"Hey look at this article. What does everyone else thing. I don’t understand it myself, but maybe somebody could help me understand"

Vs

"Roflmao leftists, amirite? This woke crap is so dumb"

See, had you started this civilly like the first way, this would be a completely different conversation. I'm sorry but you don't just get to make a topic, make it toxic and insulting and then try to take the moral high ground of victim saying "stop being so intolerant to my views!"

If you want to talk, then talk. If you want to be insulting then don't be shocked when someone gives it back to you.

[OlderAndWiser]

@Ez-Bri-Z Okay, do you understand "good bye?"

[Juxtapose]

Yeah.. something got to her.

Male is male, female is female. End of story.

[OlderAndWiser]

@Juxtapose Absolutely. She doesn't watch TV, so I'm SURE she doesn't get fed that pablum online! Haha.

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Well, see you did say my choice so it is kind of misleading. It really wasn't a choice at all was it? 🤔

Alright fine. I can stop here, but promise to play nicely next time so we can actually talk. 'k?

[OlderAndWiser]

@Ez-Bri-Z You had to get a little dig in as your are exiting, and you are telling ME to play nice?

Sleep on it.

[Ez-Bri-Z]

There is no dig. It's the same thing I've been saying the entire time. You try to be insulting and get mad when I have the audacity to respond. Like I said, be nice, you get nice Bri. Be insulting, then you get this side of me. It's very clear you don't like this side of me, so let's play nice next time.

[jaybee281]

@Ez-Bri-Z he's not gonna play nice because he doesn't care about playing nice - You started your first sentence with "uh... are you having a stroke" and then proceeded to give no concrete argument whatsoever except oh you have no right to be hateful about this all the while asking to be civil - matter of fact is - we're looking for the truth - nice and empathy are not the measure of truth - Efficiency is the measure of truth - If the entire population was made of males that "identified" as females we'd die out as a species solely based on the simple fact that males alone can't give birth - Same goes for all the women that identify as males - Just look down and see what you have - If it's a dick then I suggest you don't find it hard to assume that you're a man and stick it in and ejaculate - These are your basic functions - if it's a vagina I suggest you assume you're a woman and please expect to get penetrated and get pregnant and have children - how hard is that?

[Ez-Bri-Z]

*looks at title of thread*

*rereads your post*

*rechecks name of thread again*

Just needed to be sure I didn't come off insulting first.

So let me ask you this since you are already starting off the back foot of your stance here. What if I am a woman... and just hear me out here, this gets a little complicated... but I am unable to bear children? Do I get to be somewhere in between?

Ooh wait.. what if an AMAB is infertile and can't get a woman pregnant?

Wait... wait I got a better one. What if some random guys on the internet spent more time focusing on what is in someone's pants rather than be more productive to society? There is a whole ass world at there too enjoy, but some random guys can't seem to stop thinking about whether a transgender man has a dick or not. I feel like something is off about this, but I guess I will have to consult with whatever tv program or social media app you want to blame this week for people having thoughts different to your own.

My experience comes from friends who have lived their experiences and have talked to me. My experience in lgbt comes from being married to another woman.

Real life experience, gentlemen. I don't need a TV or social media to tell me how it works.

[jaybee281]

@Ez-Bri-Z Simple - It happened throughout history - if a woman can't give birth she'll still be taken care of by society but will either have to share her man or die without a partner - Her husband marries another woman who will bear his children - if a man couldn't give birth either both he and his wife die without any offspring or if she can get a better man she'll bear his children - it's not rocket science - it's just a pathology - just like wanting to be a man when you're a woman is a pathology - And for you to assume that any person who has a problem with how society's going which is just drifting from nature means they have no life - really shows how you have no understanding of how the world works - you can have all the lgbt real world experiences you want - doesn't make it right - I've been robbed by a black man and now I think all black men are a bunch of criminals - that's my life experience - why should I try to take information from different sources around me to make sure if I'm right or wrong - no I'll just take my narrow life experience with like minded people who are as pathological as I am - Should I go on or do you get the picture?

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Oh boy... so... what if I dont have a man... I do have a partner and we have kids together? Soooo that sort of sinks that one.

Let's see what is next. Honestly you make this kind of fun for me.

Oh right, society. Alright, no understanding of how the world works. Well that's a bit harsh. I mean with all these lgbt laws getting passed that just trigger the heck out of those who can't mind their own business. Seems to me that the world is working it's way to a progressive mindset. I mean Georgia turned blue and Texas may not be far behind. Gosh, maybe I am really confused.

Maybe science can back me up here? Let's see...

X – Roughly 1 in 2,000 to 1 in 5,000 people (Turner’s )

XX – Most common form of female

XXY – Roughly 1 in 500 to 1 in 1,000 people (Klinefelter)

XY – Most common form of male

XYY – Roughly 1 out of 1,000 people

XXXY – Roughly 1 in 18,000 to 1 in 50,000 births

Omg... you mean science shows that people can be more than just male or female? 🤯

Cool, so now that we have established that let's talk transgender individuals. I know it makes you really uneasy to think about this, but outside of your bubble there is a thing called diversity. I know this doesn't fit neatly into your shoebox of how things should be, but it doesn't make it any less true. Whatever gender was assigned to them at birth does not match their identity. You really do need to look past the binary because it just simply isn't correct here. We are just beginning to really skim the surface of people coming out and expressing themselves and to be so hateful and try to push that back down because you just don't think it's normal isn't going to cut it anymore in this society.

See, I get the picture. Look around you. More and more people are getting it. Maybe one day you will too. 😉

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Also, I'm going to bed. I will get back to any responses tomorrow.

[zagor]

You need to change your avatar to a snowflake.

Anyway, with an attitude like that you likely never need to worry about being a mother.

Though there are some pathetically needy guys out there...

[Ez-Bri-Z]

I got woken up for this? I'm already a mother of two. I've been with my wife for nearly 19 years. Anything else I can help you with or can I go back to bed?

[zagor]

@Ez-Bri-Z I was speaking to the OP but if the shoe fits...

[Ez-Bri-Z]

The shoe doesn't fit. OP makes great points. You came here triggered because of it. Time to post your own snowflake, Elsa.

Goodnight.

[zagor]

@Ez-Bri-Z No I came here because BS is BS. Having a "Mother's Day" is emotional abuse? Then suck it up. Maybe Christmas is emotional abuse to atheists and Muslims. Maybe Memorial Day is emotional abuse to pacifists. Maybe celebrating MLK Jr's birthday is emotional abuse to the women whose abuse he ignored and didn't report.

Anyway, "Birthing People's Day" is much more offensive for those mothers who raised children who were abandoned by their birth mothers than Mother's Day could ever be to the gender-confused.

[Ez-Bri-Z]

How is it that those who want it changed for inclusiveness have to suck it up but you can't?

Your last point though is actually semi valid. I don't know if it's MORE offensive but it does exclude those who are step parents and for that I actually agree.

See? I'm not unmovable in my stance, it just needs to be valid and non insulting. 😊

[jaybee281]

@Ez-Bri-Z 1st argument - I know it might sound too far fetched for you - but you needed someone's sperm to have your children - if they were adopted then someone else needed a man's sperm - Using medical advantages doesn't mean anything - it's still the same rhetoric - Georgia turned blue thanks to blm definitely not related to anything related to the lmnop community - Texas will also turn blue definitely not because of that community but simply because Californians are so dumb they move away from California and its policies to vote for the same people that made those policies happen - dumb as hell - AND EXCUSE ME - EXCUSE ME - did you just use a bunch of syndromes to tell me that people are not just men and women - Let's see turner's syndrome by definition "a condition that affects only FEMALES, when 1 X chromosome is missing or partially missing, this syndrome causes a variety of medical and developmental problems such as short height and ovaries failure" - NEXT - klinefelter syndrome by definition " a syndrome where a MALE has an additional X chromosome, primary features are INFERTILITY and small poorly functioning testicles" - NEXT - XYY aka Jacob's syndrome by definition "when a MALE has an additional Y chromosome, often associated with INFERTILITY, seizures, asthma, social and behavioral and emotional difficulties compared to men who are unaffected" - NEXT - XXXY chromosome by definition "chromosomal condition in BOYS and MEN that causes intellectual disability, developmental delays, physical differences, and an INABILITY TO FATHER biological children (INFERTILITY)" - You really just used a bunch of syndromes - pathologies - to tell me this bs when it's clear that science says" men affected by this" "women affected by that" - Well thank god we have those XX and XY as most prevalent and not those pathologies ey? Would have really slowed down human development or might have exterminated it

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Not even a good morning? It's 9 am and you want me to read all that? Could you at least use paragraphs next time?

I will get back to this, but in the meantime...

Good morning 😊

[jaybee281]

@Ez-Bri-Z and let's face it - at this point you're just running out the clock - milking the argument - if my last reply wasn't a knockout I don't know what is - 5th round knockout - I expect you to wing it again though with something more irrelevant and absurd - Take it to the judges' scorecard - win by unanimous decision - Good night

[jaybee281]

@Ez-Bri-Z I thought you'd still be asleep - Good morning🙋‍♂️ - and yea I didn't think it was gonna be this big of a paragraph - but trust me when you read it you'll find it extremely informative - It'll put you back to sleep in a minute

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Lol nah, I am in a tech field and stare at coding and write documentation all day. Plus I really love learning new things so it's all good!

Also, what even is sleep? Even when I said I was going to bed last night I still stayed up until after 130 am and back up by 5 am.

Hope you had a good rest too!

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Also, do you wanna take this to DM's so we don't spam poor opinion owner anymore? 😊

Still would love to talk with you about it, but just thinking of the others here

[jaybee281]

@Ez-Bri-Z Wow honestly I wouldn't have guessed that - tech girl sheesh - and thank you I did have a good rest the usual 8 hour sleep - starting soccer practice in a couple of minutes and the rest of the day is me partying and sending condolences to America for I am leaving today - and listen - you'd be a good diplomat though I'll give you that

[jaybee281]

@Ez-Bri-Z yea alright later on we'll take it there - in private chat I don't trash talk as much as I do here - I know you'll miss it

[Ez-Bri-Z]

I live for it 😆

And congratulations on your upcoming move!

I will send a follow now

[crazyish]

I'm confused here. There's a father's day. If she now declares herself a man then wouldn't she want to celebrate on that day? Is Father's day going to be referred to as national cumming day or national sperm day? For the men who declare themselves as women now. It makes absolutely no sense. If you declare yourself as a new gender and that's how you want to be seen as then you have to let go of ALL the aspects of your previous gender. Otherwise it's hypocritical.

[OlderAndWiser]

That's right!

[Jamie05rhs]

"National Cumming Day" 🤣🤣

[Daniela1982]

@crazyish So? There is beginning to be more hypocrites than not anymore. Now why did I think your username was Crayfish?

[crazyish]

@Daniela1982 Because that's the way you think. You're taking offense to my post, so you see what you perceive. And you tagged me just fine.. no mishap.

If you would like to insult me or have something to say, then please be straightforward with it. I don't appreciate games or beating around the bush.

[ChrisMaster69]

@crazyish fully agree

[Massageman]

I guess we may have to call it "National Fertilizer Day" or "National Impregnator Day".

[crazyish]

🤣please no.. no "National Fertilizer

[crazyish]

Day"... I was not finished..

[Oppressed_Leecher]

national cumming day? 😆
Ithata every day for most guys I'm sure 😆

[Daniela1982]

Actually, I glanced at your name quickly and my mind saw the first 4 letters as cray and it changed the Y to an F. Just one of those things. I wasn't trying to be insulting. Sheesh. But you have to admit, with all the weird names of people on here your name is better than most.

[crazyish]

@Oppressed_Leecher 😂🤣 that seems about right lol

[crazyish]

@Daniela1982 sorry hun I read it in the wrong context. I was only trying to be up front and transparent with my name 😂 see? It's true? Lol

[Daniela1982]

@crazyish Don't worry, we all have to have a little craziness in us to be here.

[MCheetah]

"When we talk about birthing people, we're being inclusive. It's that simple. We use gender neutral language when talking about pregnancy, because it's not just cis-gender women that can get pregnant and give birth. Reproductive freedom is for *every* body."

Except for biological men. Who still literally have no reproductive rights or say so in whether a woman should abort their child or not. Or even the option to legally opt out of fatherhood.

Yeah, don't pay attention to the retards. They'll stress you out enough to kill brain cells and raise your blood pressure with their stupidity. This is all a plan to demoralize society, anyway. Wokeness is all a part of that. What Orwell said about "political language" and all. Too bad four feminists nitwits and two beta males who probably can't even produce sperm fall for this nonsense, though...

[Craftsman]

Most mothers I know, and I do know a few, all agree. The female parent is "Mother", "Mom" "Mama" "Mutti", "Madre", "Mutter" or some variant of these. My own mother got her nose out of joint when I once called her "Maternal Parent". I can see her stirring up her ashes in the urn where her earthly residue rests at the thought of being called, "Birthing Person".
It makes as much sense to me as demanding we put sanitary napkin dispensers and disposal boxes in men's restrooms, and urinals in women's restrooms.
Other peoples' mileage may vary.

[jaybee281]

Man I swear every week they pull off some dumber shit - Imagine being confused about the idea that only women can give birth - Yea we had a good 100 year run at the top now it's just free fall - I bet by the time everyone who can vote on this poll votes - you'll see most people who think it's dumb are men and most who think it's being inclusive are women - Shows how lgbt and all the other bs get away with being delusional and dumb and needing professional psychiatric help - They need their vote so they listen to them..

[snackthatsmilesback]

That's just stupid. If they don't call themselves a mother then guess what there's FATHERS day too. No need to change mothers day for the mothers who joined the other side.

And for nonbinary just I don't know celebrate on parents day? Cause that's also a thing. Maybe just promote that one.

We have enough holidays for all parents rn chill don't be messing with stuff when you already have everything you need. What are they gonna change father's day too? "Non-birthing parents day"? Stupid as fuck you know adopted mothers are still called mothers and trans mothers are called fathers. Damn.

[Lliam]

It's completely insane. This is an anti-woman, anti-mother agenda.
I don't give a fuck what gender someone "thinks" they are. If they can get pregnant and deliver a child, they are female. Period.

I have no problem with the 0.02% of girls and 0.05% of boys who suffer from actual gender dysphoria. But the radical trans agenda is dangerous and destructive. Many who genuinely suffer from gender dysphoria agree.

[zed-789]

Only if u r born with ovaries and egg can u give birth. And by scientific definition that is women. Anyone can identify as whatever they want to but this just seems stupid. Maybe they should change it to “happy biologically conclusive XX chromosomes Day” since only human beings that have that makeup with no genetic mutations r even carrying eggs and ovaries and a womb can even potentially get pregnant and give birth.

[Hyped_up_on_coffee]

Can we please just ignore the far left? It would be horrible if they turned Father’s Day in to national sperm donor day. They seem crazy. Mother’s Day involves women who adopt and Trans women like Caitlyn Jenner. If someone gave birth and transitioned to male it should be Father’s Day. And I think non binary people are a minority. So I don’t know which they would prefer to celebrate but we shouldn’t change the entirety of our culture for them.

[Sensmind]

I would be somewhere in the middle - I think having a Mothers Day and a Fathers Day are unintentionally not inclusive say for single parents, families with two mothers and two fathers. I would scrap both of them and have a Parents Day.
I would not tie myself in knots other genders, who can have children and who can't plus what do they want to call themselves. To me, Mother's/Father's day is about appreciating your parent (s) , a Parents' day covers that.

[Twinrova]

HAPPY BIRTHING PERSON'S DAY! For some reason - despite encouragement from the DNC - my mom thought I was retarded when I said this to her. WHAT? So I told Chris Cuomo on her for being a transphobe and she got fired from her job. I may be living on the streets now, but at least I'm not a bigot! Take that you dumb conservatives.

[Bellatris]

Birthing People's Day? How very Orwellian! Big Brother must be proud of these brain-dead abortionists who so easily adopt Newspeak terms. Double-plus-good!

[Oppressed_Leecher]

I think left turds are trying to get this garbage normalized as soon as possible so when we go to Mars in a few decades they can try to implent it in martian society. I hope and pray to god there are still conservatives left so they fight against the madness. I'm sure there will still be sane people left I mean how else would we get to Mars 😆🤡😉

[Massageman]

Insanity might be a bit of an improvement. At least "insanity" is a defensible plea- there's no law against "stupid" though.

I know - it's likely that this is a misattribution. I don't care- it's true!

[Leavesbound]

Yeah well Nixon tried to change George Washington's Birthday into "President's Day" and it is still legally George Washington's Birthday.

[OlderAndWiser]

That change in the federal holiday schedule was passed by Congress in 1968 when LBJ was still president. It did NOT change the name of the holiday.

[Leavesbound]

I was not speaking of the change in the date it is celebrated. I am talking about Nixon attempting to convince congress to change the name to President's Day.

[OlderAndWiser]

Nixon was not in office in 1968.

[Leavesbound]

I never said he was. You are confusing two different things. The change of date and the change of name. Johnson changed the date. Nixon wanted to change the name but failed. The first one happened as you point out in 1968. The second one was attempted in 1970.

[OlderAndWiser]

I researched and didn't find that. Do you have a cite for a reference? I'd like to review my history.

[OlderAndWiser]

Here's something that I found.

Every time I think nothing ever surprises me anymore I hear a new story like yours. It's almost unbelievable.

[Anonymous]

Everyone Gets a prize. Everyone gets an award. Its a nice idea. And it was nice in middle school to walk up front like everyone else did. But that's not the real world.
Also we have to have Tamper proof voting. That's the most important thing. Without it there will never be peace. So over it.
2022 and 2024. I'll be able to vote and I want to know middle of the night ballots dont show up. Also I need an ID now that I can drive. We need the real ID or no vote!

Reminds me of the time they tried to get "vagina" changed to "front hole" because it was trans-inclusive.

Who gives a shit what this outfit wants to call mother's day. I might care what they think if I had ever given them any thought. Don't worry, us regular folks can decide for ourselves what we want to call different things and I think we will stick with what we have always called them. Grow up people

[Jaylaaa2000]

Does it matter if someone wants to call it something different than you?

[OlderAndWiser]

I don't want the name of the holiday to change because some dimwit virtue signaler with her panties in a wad want to call the signals.

[Jaylaaa2000]

Not your holiday. It's a mother's holiday number 1.
And they would change it if enough Americans want it.
You're thinking about your own feelings instead of what all of America wants.

[OlderAndWiser]

Not MY holiday? You own it? I celebrate Mothers Day EVERY YEAR! No, you don't own it, and women don't own it.

[FlySwimmer]

You are right, mothers don’t own it, birthing persons do now 😂

[Jaylaaa2000]

Way to assume this is about gender.
You do not own it. So it is not your holiday to control for all of us and if someone wants to call it that they can.

So you as 1 person does not control the naming of it.
If someone wants to try to change the name to something they think is better they have a right to.
It's how America works.
If it sticks than true Americans will accept our system, but doubt it will change.
Also even if it was changed you could just as well still call it mother's day just like they don't have to call it mother's day, I mean unless you created this holiday and it wasn't created by Ana Jarvis?

[FlySwimmer]

Totally agree do :)

[OlderAndWiser]

"You're thinking about your own feelings instead of what all of America wants."

I know that leftists don't allow facts to get in the way of their argument, but I will still observe that this is a poll, and 84% of all respondents think this is a dumbass stupid idea. If this were a presidential election and one candidate got 84% of the vote, it would be the ass-kicking landslide of all time!

[FlySwimmer]

😂ok boomer, says the guy who supported trump

[Jaylaaa2000]

I'm not a leftist. Dummies allow parties to control their actions. I am a person who listens to facts and decide which sounds better.
I like it called mother's day. But I also understand we live in a country that has different cultures values and beliefs and feel we all can allow them to voice it, and not force our own beliefs on everyone.
America is about growing into something better and not being stuck in 1 time era forever.
That includes values and beliefs. There is nothing wrong with them wanting it to be called this and if they want to they can.

[OlderAndWiser]

It will continue to be called Mother's Day. And we won't be calling a vagina a "front hole," either.

[FlySwimmer]

Vagina is not a female term it refers to simple anatomy😂

[Jaylaaa2000]

And I'm fine with it, but allow people to have a different opinion then you without getting angry.
They aren't trying to destroy your America.
They are just trying to be included in it.
The way you feel because you felt they are trying to steal mother's day from you, is how they feel because they are also excluded for how they feel about this world.
Both sides need to calm down and understand how the other feels.
I understand it can feel like some of the changes don't make sense, but America is about majority votes.
So if something passes its because America wanted the change.
Embrace that America and her values will constantly change and that's what makes it great.
I'm sure your generation did things that scared and angered your parents just like ours does

[OlderAndWiser]

84% against. Deal with it.

[Jaylaaa2000]

Deal with what? I said i like it called Mother's day.
So you are just to angry to talk to.

[OlderAndWiser]

No, the argument continues to be ignored. If someone calls their self mother, they can celebrate mother's day. If they call their self father, they can celebrate father's day. Who in the fuck is being excluded?

[Jaylaaa2000]

Well obviously people who don't call themselves either.
Not to difficult to figure out that's why they chose to not use it.
But because it doesn't fit in your beliefs you do not want them to exist so you won't let them have there voices heard.
Why else would this anger you so much

[OlderAndWiser]

Because I am absolutely disgusted with our current culture that wants to change everything that we know because it might offend some particular minority somewhere, like black Lithuanian homosexual midgets.

[OlderAndWiser]

Several years ago, the NCAA wanted every college team that had a native American Indian mascot to change their mascot because it was offensive to American Indians. My alma mater is one such school. No one has ever complained about my school's mascot or the way that we handle our use of that mascot.

We finally told the NCAA to go fuck itself when we showed that we consulted with the Florida Seminole tribe before we adopted them as our mascot, and the Seminole tribe made it clear that they were proud to be associated with my school. This is an example of the SJW mentality just meddling in stuff for the purpose of virtue signaling.

[Jaylaaa2000]

Okay so does it offend you when people tell you that your way of thinking is offensive?
I'm just curious

[OlderAndWiser]

No, I can tolerate disagreement with opinions. But I am annoyed when someone fabricates facts, like claiming a majority of Americans want to start calling mothers "birthing persons."

[Jaylaaa2000]

Nobody claimed a majority did.
I said if the majority decides to then it will be changed.

I also said that is unlikely.

That's why America is a majority votes counts.

I think this debate is something you are passionate about and because of that you picked parts of a sentence that made you angry and not reading or maybe didn't digest it all.

I'm not on here this post trying to anger you. I just want a discussion to understand why this annoys you so much.
I mean because people are different especially here in America and that's what suppose to make us special right?
Do u think mocking them for being different is really right?

[OlderAndWiser]

"Nobody claimed a majority did." Yes, someone else said that. Not you, but someone else.

I don't go around mocking people with whom I disagree. I may on occasion get so annoyed with someone that I will make a sarcastic comment but I try to avoid doing that. I really do.

I am a "live and let live" libertarian kind of guy. But if someone gets in my face and starts yelling "we're here, we're queer, get used to it!" I will respond.

I am tired of everything that is traditional being challenged and being told that it all needs to change because of some minority group composed of snowflakes. If the far left hates everything about this country THAT much, they should find a more suitable country and go there. I am tired of being told that everything about my country is wrong. I am tired of German neonazis making fun of a bridge collapse in the US, being told that we have lousy infrastructure, when there are bridge collapses in Germany. I am tired of being called a racist almost every time I same something unfavorable about someone who happens to be black. I am tired of the far left consistently calling all conservatives stupid, and then claiming that they are tolerant and even encourage diversity.

Yes, I am frustrated about many things and referring to mothers as "birthing people" is pretty fucking stupid (as 84% of respondents agree!)

[Jaylaaa2000]

Okay so you bring up interesting points.
Can i say a few things.

So here is my opinion.
As a country we are so angry. Including you.
Some traditions they are okay, some need challenging.
But we have hundreds of millions of people in this country who have beliefs. I am gonna find some ridiculous some not.

I mean take a minute and think like this.
You are frustrated because you're traditions are being challenged being called outdated.
When frustrated you sound angry and hateful. We all do. Right? It really angers us when things sound like an attack on our beliefs.
Gay, black Hispanic here a lot of real racism or hatred, as do white people.
It exists.
I mean so we know much words can hurt or piss people off. Right?

Maybe they are feeling like you? Right?

I mean let's take gay people first for an example. Constantly hearing they are sick, mentally deranged, and an abomination for their whole life. Could they be frustrated and angry.
Now I know your not gay, but pretend these attacks your whole life hit you about white people or Americans. So yeah it comes out with the same anger and frustration.
Both sides attack each other and scream go to another country.
But they aren't claiming they hate America. They are saying we want to improve this country because as Americans it's our right to try this.
I mean trying to challenge this country to be what they believe is better is what America is about.
a lot of immigrants came here because their country told them, they weren't allowed to voice their opinions, and even got kicked out their country for it.
This love it or leave it mentality is the same thing. That's not American, that's accept what we are or we will threaten you and demand you leave.
I believe we can do better as country, but it starts with listening calmly and expressing calmly.
Which nobody does

"All that is solid melts into air..." - Karl Marx

I don't call them Demunist Commiecrats for rhetorical pizzazz. They really are. It's Gender Marxism now, but the endgame is still the same.

[Anonymous]

It just makes you relish the prospect of the brotherhood taking over and seperating the genders up all the better
A world with zero sex and the population allowed to exist until they expire
either executed for trying to be sexual or crossing the gender borders or just accepting the position and waiting for death

[SunnySonia]

I guess they're doing this for any/ all of the flirting reasons:
1. There has been a case where a man was impregnated medically and gave birth to a child. I don't know if such cases have been repeated.
2. It could be that they're doing this for transgenders who were females, gave birth to children, and then transformed to males. Just a wild guess that made sense to me.

[OlderAndWiser]

If someone gave birth to a child and then had surgery to alter themselves, they are still the mother of their child.

[SunnySonia]

* following reasons

@OlderAndWiser
I didn't know that
