| Mr Ixer I am more than happy for people to question and challenge what I post on this Forum. Provided they read the comment thoroughly first and do not make false claims. All of your comment between the ***s is pure conjecture and supposition your part with no supportive evidence provided. ***'Mr Hawkes chose to use the word "normal", which could be interpreted as an unconscious bias that he considers gay couples as abnormal? I'm sure he'd deny that but given his apparent dislike of things that deviate from his norms of the past (trans people, Muslim culture, for example?) I'm not sure he'd be the best judge'***. As I said - "What makes you think you are competent to analyse what you claim are my views on these topics" ? "You claim that I have an 'unconscious bias' (more of your pseudo science) against gay couples and see them as 'abnormal'. And you presumptuously say that I would deny this". I also said - "Here is a definition of 'normal' - "conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected". 'Gay couples' do not fit this description. But in my opinion they are not 'abnormal' in the pejorative sense of the word. They are a minority group of which there are many in society society, in which as in other groups, are contained the good, the bad, the ugly and the stupid". This is not homophobic. I have no fear of any homosexual - individual or in a group and I am very pleased for your homosexual friends in their long term relationship which must have been bolstered by you making it clear to everyone that you are so supportive of them. But might I ask do you suffer from any 'unconscious bias' ? Regarding what issues ? I am pleased to read that IC is spending the higher education budget researching this topic. Do you know for what purpose ? You also made the comment - "that I have 'an apparent dislike of things that deviate from his norms of the past(trans people, Muslim culture, for example)'. As I pointed out this is both meaningless and unfounded. Would you care to make another attempt to explain and provide evidence to justify the claim ? You still seem to be "confused by comments I made that were critical of transvestites who wish to encroach on what most normal (yes normal) people would say are spaces designated for women and girls in which many (most I would suggest) appreciate for the safety and modesty they provide. You may disagree of course but unfortunately the law is not on your side. And it is further true that I am not uncritical of Muslim culture which I consider misogynistic and often maliciously racist especially towards Jews. I suspect you, a faux liberal progressive, see them as freedom fighters for a homeland stolen from them by white colonialists and renamed Israel. Forgetting conveniently what happened in October 2023. Happily such issues were not prominent in my past'. Finally, could you explain the difference between a transvestite and a transsexual ? |
