"Trans women are women" presupposes woman is a gender construct made by society.
Ime this is a niche view, not held by most average people who view it as a biological construct.

Stolen Pavement Thread!!!

They stole slabs but not TURF. Not sure how this helps the current debate

I read somewhere that old council flagstones were much thicker than regular consumer grade, so they lasted longer. Maybe someone is planning a particularly heavy shed and needed a beefy base?

I inherited one when I bought the house I'm currently living in. It is doing duty as the threshold to my shed. I could barely lift it into position.

Try laying the bastards gently and accurately on a bed of mortar if you want to find out how heavy they really are!

I can imagine. All I had to do was drop it on the part of the lawn in front of the shed door.

Right but you're debating the topic on a niche middle class lifestyle forum. Try having the same conversation in your average office or weatherspoons.

Not everyone here is middle class, believe it or not.
-
• #10787
Yes, there are plenty of upper class as well.

Perhaps the epic-est WTF is that there's not a Transgender discussion thread on lfgss.
-
• #10789
Really? So there should be no positive discussion about Transgender People that might help others broaden their horizons?
Prove himself to be a bigot by allowing transgender discussion when there is nothing to discuss - you either agree with the trans orthodoxy or you are an enemy of trans people and comparable to a racist, misogynist or homophobe.
Are you suggesting he proved himself to be racist by allowing the BLM thread?
Or homophobic by allowing the discussion of gay marriage?
P.s. search of thread titles with gay in them gives interesting results.

All I can say is that all of that and more would be better discussed outside of the WTF thread.

• #10791
Yep, just call it âEpicâ and leave it wide open.

I didn't call you a TERF, all i did is call out the claim that the term TERF is designed as an insult. I acknowledge that TERF is being used to call out people for more then just being a trans exclusive radical feminist. It has kind of become a designation for people who's feminism isn't intersectional. Calling someone a trap is offensive because it dehumanizes trans people. Calling someone a TERF isn't dehumanizing anyone. Calling someone a racist slur is offensive because it's dehumanizing . Calling someone a racist is not dehumanizing. It's calling someone out for what they say or believe.
Now for some epic wtfness, in 2016 a Dutch politician was found guilty in court for offending another politician by calling him a racist. This politician said several racist things like he isn't opposed to religious schools except when they are Islamic or that dutch citizens with an immigrant background should receive harsher sentences then white citizens.

This feels like question-begging and, again, a much wider statement is being used to mean something very specific i.e., people who don't believe that trans-women should be considered women in a feminist analysis. That has nothing to do with intersectionality, which primarily recognises the different life experience of the huge range of women in the world and that intersections of people's identities can create novel forms of oppression that cannot be addressed by analysing a single "axis" of oppression.

More to the point - why no fresh ingredients? Everything there comes out of a foil pack or a jar.

Bossman has third choice.
Ban and delete you.
PS How is bossman a bigot by allowing the discussion. Not his opinion, just allowing others to have their opinions?

Now what I came here to discuss:
Flagstone and paving slab.....discuss.
Got itđ.
That's not how I read your previous posts, but it's hard to say in brief.
