  • I'm sorry to hear that. There are a lot of autists on here who seem to react to things people say in an even more irrational and aggressive manner than the average neurotypical. 

  • Irrational, to you.

    Perhaps it would be wise to acknowledge that, regardless of your own views, there are others here who will feel offended, undermined, and targeted by some of the words used and the things people say.

    I'm not transgender, I have no dog in that fight, but when I see words like 'Tranny' being used in an environment in which there are transgender and LGBTQ users I start to understand a bit better the world they have to live in, the sort of comments they have to endure by people with their 'opinion' they have to make everyone aware of. 

    This place is supposed to be welcoming, inclusive, and aware of the fact that it's users have quite unique differences, not a place where people come to be told that if they take offense to something it's a result of an autistic fault, rather than becauss they're a sensible person capable of reason and rational thought. 

    You talk of people being aggressive... I personally have stepped away from debates with yourself and others because I acknowledge this is a forum for autistic people. Had I not given people the courtesy of remembering they are autistic I would have reacted in the same way I do with anyone else spouting the same right wing clap trap while at the same time not having the bravery to identify themself as right wing, preferring anti-woke, or anti-PC. Personally I don't consider myself to be either of those things but I'd rather wear those badges than the alternative. 

  • Hmm...

    Maybe we should outlaw the use of certain words like 'gammon' to avoid causing offence? Sort of like what the left suggest we do in not using derogatory terms to describe people of different ethnicities and sexual persuasions. But don't the right think we should all be able to freely use whatever words we like and ignore the snowflakes who have a problem with it?

    In this case I'm going to take the approach of the right wing and say my opinion of the word and those it describes are more important than the feelings of those such words offend, and they'll just have to get over it.

    I could be more civilised and sensitive and underdtanding and reasonable but I choose not to be. 

  • Good! Your mind is equally closed.

  • white men, do not constitute a race,

    Seems to indicate a certain sector of the population.

    ..but what he really said is

    Red-faced, apoplectic, opinionated middle-aged white men, do not constitute a race, in anyone's reasoning.

    LOL! I've seen misquotes before but to take PART of a sentence to fit your own needs. Joy

  • aye but still the term gammon is usually used as a sluur word to racially attack white people for the colour of their skin and can be applied to any white person. is attacking someone for the colour of their skin not racist? i think it is, unless the rules have now changed again, in which case people can now make derogatory comments about brown coloured skin now then? lol

  • I'm not going to engage with your closed mind - there's literally no point.
