Eunuchs in Scotland

[Paolo]

This thread is bordering on politics, and in fact, hatred.

Tone it down right now.

This is a thread about Scotland, and the UK, right?

I've been very careful about not mentioning parties, which is how in my country's custom something would be considered 'politics'. If I were being actively political you'd've heard things like 'DUP', 'SNP', 'Sinn Fein', 'Green Party', 'Liberal Democrats', 'Labour', 'Conservative and Unionist Party', 'Plaid Cymru' etc etc. So no, for the UK this thread is not political in that kind of sense if you agree to setting the terms of the discussion *about the UK* in a way that is appropriate to civic life *in the UK*.

Bluntly, when talking about a sovereign and quite small country, I'd suggest it is better to listen to people from that country about their experience fighting for basic human rights, rather than impose the learning perspectives of a different (especially a vastly bigger) country.

The Daily Mail article looked an awful lot like the one that showed up here in the US and was the topic of a thread here a few weeks ago. It seemed to hit most of the same hot buttons, and be just as much crap.... Hopefully it won't get a lot more bad reaction than the US article seems to have produced. I think the letter Magus wrote was excellent, but seems like best to ignore it otherwise.

I would take anything printed in "The Daily Fail" with a very large pinch of salt. Perhaps better off going to the food store and buy a bag of it.

You had me until you went on about the far right and Heritage Foundation.

As a conservative and a eunuch follower, I have to agree with them. Just because you don’t like what a person says about eunuchs, doesn’t make them a hater as you put it.

We are one of two sexes. PERIOD. Argue all you want and go ahead and call me a hater, because I and most everyone on earth KNOW that the world is round and not flat. So is your and everyone else’s deviation from our sex reality and science.

It is what it is dude. (If that’s an acceptable pronoun) LOL

I'm saddened to learn you're seemingly one of these folks. (https://twitter.com/reactjpg/status/127 ... 09?lang=ca)

I've never understood how sexual minorities could support such people, but I defend your right to do so.

Also, the faction that started out as ostensibly a women's rights or women's protection lobby but now seems to be a general reactionary group that wants to control other people's lives and what they can do with their bodies is looking to influence every political party. You find these elements across the political spectrum but they are most likely to appear in the right-wing commercial press because their stances tend to be reflexive, which is what those papers appeal to: reflexive, reactionary views.

I'm closing this thread because the original question was answered and now it's drifting into politics.
