India Willoughby: Is it discriminatory to refuse to date a trans woman?
BBC ^ | January 12, 2018 | Jonathan Griffin

Posted on 01/16/2018 5:47:52 AM PST by C19fan

The argument started on UK reality television show Celebrity Big Brother, where minor celebrities are locked into a studio made to look like a house, then filmed 24/7. As might be expected in such a situation, tensions run high and conversations can be fractious. One of the housemates is India Willoughby, a TV journalist who had an established career as a man before transitioning to become a woman.

Um, the whole process of dating is textbook discrimination.

I never dated fat chicks and I never dated women of races different than my own.

So sue me. :)

I knew this was coming.

Under the guise of racism, sexism or genderism, I expected them to try this sooner or later.
This is only one more small step on the path to erase all self determination.
The left ultimately wants to control everyone's life, including who we mate with.

Is it discrimination when you ask a random woman for sex and she says no ?

Trannies should go to trans bars. It will be normal hookups.. but with ‘reversed polarity’.

It’s discriminatory to stop at a red light as well. Who are we to judge which color light is meant to represent? I hereby advocate going right thru red lights and stopping at green lights as a means of reparations for past injustices to red lights

Huxley covered that in Brave New World. The underlying principle is that everybody should accessible by anyone else.

“A trans woman (sometimes trans-woman or transwoman) is defined as a woman who was assigned male at birth.”

Assigned? Now you’re not only questioning God in his actions, but denying them in rebellion against them. Who are you to do that? If you have no faith, then that’s fine. But calling God a liar saying he did the wrong thing is not only admitting his existence, but is carrying it a bit too far to think you are smarter or more important than God to overrule him.

Some homosexuals like to play “bait and switch” (both men and women play that game).

They don’t believe in informed consent.

Look at the language trick here. The real question in this case is "Are you socially obligated to kiss a particular trans woman, lest you be subject to the leftist mob?", and the answer of course is NO.

But the question here is "Is it discriminatory to refuse to date a trans woman?". "Discriminatory"! That's crimethink! You're a good person, right? You don't want to be guilty of a thoughtcrime, do you? Of course you don't. And the phrase "a trans woman" sneaks in, which will be spun after the fact if necessary -- if you give the "wrong" answer -- to represent all "trans women" instead. Allow somebody to exercise a little "agency", a little of that vaunted "no means no" discretion, and he and you are both bigoted against all "trans women".

Where have we seen this kind of verbal sleight of hand before? I hope you need only a moment to think of a recent example that is almost exactly the same construct: "Would you vote for a woman for President?"

PS, the Weather Underground didn’t just swap sex partners of opposite sex. Bill Ayers admits he swang it with both men and women. “Smash the patriarchy” “Smash the State!”

Or as the Left tell children, “Just say YES!”

A guy and his friend were driving through town when they came to a red light. Cruising through the red light, the passenger freaked out.

“Don’t worry, my brother George does it all the time, and he never gets caught.”

At the next intersection, the driver again went speeding right through a red light.

“Don’t worry, my brother does this!”

At the next intersection, the light is green, and the driver comes to a complete stop.

“Why do you run through all the red lights and stop when we come to a green light?” asks his friend.

“My brother might be coming through!!!”

Whatever happened to “I’m just not that into you.”

Now coercion is a civil right? What next?

Since liberals are tolerating lesbians being bullied for not having sex with transgenders (including men who still have the plumbing but wear dresses and identify as women), yes, I can see them bashing a man for refusing to date a former man in any form.
Genuwine’s ONLY support from liberals is because he’s black. If he was white, NO ONE would be defending him.

Why should anyone be forced to date anyone?
