jakee 1,498 #2 March 27, 2023 Kasparian's tweet, posted just before 2.30pm on March 22, has been viewed on the social media app more than 20 million times. … Her comments did not go over well with Twitter users on both the right and the left with one person saying: 'Ana, that might be one of the most TERF things you could say.' This is quite often the case when the Daily Mail tries to complain about a left wing ‘mob’. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Making a neutral comment about basic a biology should not be cause for people to take leave of their senses. Lighten up, Francis! Orwell was, indeed, an optimist.

Nope, it's about combining getting a wider range of inputs, because groupthink is only good when you're interacting entirely with that group. Wendy P.

It's hard to believe your mind is that easily boggled. Try harder, you may begin to understand. All you have to do is just let them be, even if it seems weird. As long as they aren't hurting others. NewSpeak was about a society where diversity is not allowed. It was the opposite of what you are saying. It was about suppressing people who want to express themselves in a way not approved. People are still getting beat up for acting and looking in cross gender ways. That needs to stop. There is nothing dystopian about it. We are not living in Oceania. Yet. Edit TYT and TERFS would be great examples of newspeak. A convenient shorthand for expressing disapproval of nonconformity.
