[QUOTE="Bradskii, post: 77618360, member: 412388"] And that would have been the end of the matter. So who are all the people running around like Chicken Little shouting that the sky is falling? It was and is manufactured outrage. But let's face it, a headline reading 'Woman Discusses Problem Regarding Changing Room With Gym Staff' doesn't really rally the troops, does it. This has to be rewritten as 'lefties trampling on women's rights!' I don't know about others, but I expect no less. As I've said before, if there are less people complaining about something, the ones remaining seem to think that they need to shout louder and more often (hence 3,000 plus posts on gender pronouns for heaven's sake). I would have thought that using better arguments might be a better tactic. Repeating the same mantras becomes background noise after a while. And what is also does is drown out genuine concerns and sensible discussions. Should it really have taken over 200 posts for someone on your side of the argument to eventually say 'Well, I guess that was the wrong way to approach this.' But some news outlets do approach it exactly like this. They write about a single event and build it up to generate the usual righteous anger that is bubbling away under the surface with all their readers. Trust me, Daily Mail readers don't buy that paper for a balanced and nuanced view of the world. There can of course be problems associated with transgenderism. But the majority of them need to addressed individually. Not every instance of a problem (whether real or claimed) can be decided via a simple black and white view of the world. That isn't the way the world works. [/QUOTE]
