....is no longer going to be a "Mr" and will now be gender neutral.
Not sure how Mrs Potato Head feels about this.

There's no way we would say that about race though. In fact Paz is rightly hammered for doing just that every day. I think the problem is that a lot of people don't really consider Trans rights or non binary identities that much of a big deal. |
...don't see the relationship between Trans rights and non binary identities and a plastic toy called Mr Potato Head.
Trans rights and non binary identities are a big deal.
Old spudhead isn't. | |

It's hard to argue with that last sentence.
Just to be clear I am not suggesting Ryorry doesn't support trans rights 100%, clearly she does. |
No one is saying she doesn't, or anyone for that matter (bar Rommers, his input here was GRIM).
Go back and read my input here, the words alone, and take the point I am making on board rather than just seeing my post handle and assuming I'm looking for a row.
Spruce nailed it - not being racist but telling racist jokes is something I've seen resigned to the bin in my lifetime. The world is a constant progression, embrace it. | |

"BAME rights are a big deal, representing BAME people in society, media and culture isn't."
Move the context and you can see the problem. | |

Well, the fact that it's not Trans people wetting they pants about it rather undermines your confidently stated opinion. |  |

It's all ammo for the right when they push this woke war CRAP to the top of the equality debate and ridicule it.
People need to understand discrimination is a spectrum we are all somewhat guilty of and not a yes/no debate.
Enablists, apologists and those who don't speak up all fit in there somewhere. | |

That's fair enough, must say I hadn't seen it that way, so thanks for expanding my understanding 👠|  |

....that some people don't see the relationship between the two.
They don't see how one effects the other.
Not sure what your issue is with that.

Which is what I said. Are you suggesting that they're on solid ground in thinking that? I don't think they are personally. | |

...this is why I don't get involved with these conversations.
You actually said the issue was that people don't see trans rights as a big deal.
I said that, in my opinion, the issue was that they don't see the relationship between Spudders and trans rights.
People can think that trans rights are important without grasping how Mr Potato Head effects them.
Don't put words in my mouth.
I'm going back to the potato jokes.

Not really. This is a nothing issue, you are contributing to turning it into something more just as much as those expressing fake outrage at it. You are playing the game they want you to play, and you're playing your part to stereotypical perfection. |
I'm not sure what he's arguing about really.
I think it's completely daft to take Mr Potato Heads balls away, that's just my opinion.
Does it add fuel to people who don't like or recognise trans gender issues - yes.
Will said people ever change their views - probably no. |  |

I consider you to be a centrist from where I'm positioned, but I stand by your responses to this doing more to contribute to WOKE WARS than to show them up for what they are. It's a shame you're not able to step back and see how by willingly playing the role the media want you to play in this you are playing right into their hands whilst doing precisely nothing of any value for trans rights in the process. | |

Are we still running this nonsense angle where we pretend any bit of progress and equality in the world wasn't founded on challenging people?
Brexit was the Remainer's fault.
Corbyn made me vote Tory.
Vegans make me want to eat more meat.
The list goes on. How about we start, ya know, accepting perhaps the people who hold these views are the problem.
Also, I'd love to hear how I'm a centralist. Still baffled by that one.
If you really still think this whole thing is just about a plastic potato and are unable to see the matter in a very clear context laid out through this thread you're still missing the point, therefore your opinion on how my point was made is null and void. [Post edited 26 Feb 2021 13:26]

Centrism is a political outlook or position that involves acceptance and/or support of a balance of social equality and a degree of social hierarchy, while opposing political changes which would result in a significant shift of society strongly to either the left or the right. (Wikipedia)
Centralist - a person who advocates the control of different activities and organizations under a single authority. (Google dictionary) | |
