              @sintro: Let me correct that by saying parents brought a kid to an adult event. The problem isnt' the drag performers, its the parents bringing their child to an adult event.

                It is also an issue when a child at an adult venue is being encouraged to shake their “ass everywhere” by a drag.

      Great outcome in the case of that Canadian Dad.
      Trans youth are at strong risk to themselves if their family environment is hostile to their gender identity. That Dad was held in contempt after disobeying orders to stop mis-gendering/dead-naming as well as trying to go public.
      Court clearly acted in the best interest of the child.

        • MessyG on 03/06/2023 - 17:37
          +3

          The performative obsession with transgenderism is coming straight from the mainstream media that knows that this sells a lot of clicks and bandwidth. Transgender people have been around since at least Shakespeares time. If the media chose not to amplify the conflict, it wouldn't be a conflict. But here everyone is, freaking out that the porn they're watching might make them gay.

            @MessyG: It's not so much people having historically funny ideas that is the problem as it is the prospect of marginalised people being fed a cornucopia of drugs to enable the hacking away at their genitals that upsets people. As it should, the response of horror to ugliness and tragedy is humane.

                  1. Lots of men with Opinions.
                  2. Experts making truthful statements, which when fact-checked were wrong. But I did the fact-checking, not anyone in the documentary which is a big fail. The bigger fail of course is that no one noticed the lack of fact-checking.
                  3. Didn't see anything of a spectrum of women included in the question. Not hetero, not childbearing, not unable to childbear, not mothers, not child-free, not women who've lost their breasts or uteruses, not older women, and so on.
                  4. Lots of videos of kids from tiktok, which as a parent I found pretty awful that these adults were using for their documentary. Kids unlikely paid, parents unlikely unaware. Voyeuristic and exploitative.

                  Biggest disappointment is how much the majority ate it up, but whatever, it is the Internet.

                    4) this was a small minority of the whole documentary. Which I honestly don't think was inappropriate. But helpful to show context of the world.

          This statement doesn't clearly state who this was said by "There was a statement made that the only path for people with gender dysphoria was surgery + medication and that there was no other way." I've watched this and don't remember a part where someone said this. While i believe surgery and medication can help people with gender dysphoria, from what i have looked at and what has been said is overall it does not assist with stopping the majority of self harm and in most cases it is best that people get mental support and assistance in dealing with such a transition and for them to understand and be more comfortable in their own bodies.

          Physical transition may help or may be a temporary relief but i think psychological help is more beneficial.

          • MessyG on 03/06/2023 - 21:50

            @Aarent: Look I'm not sitting through that again just to fish that statement out. That's what was claimed and it stood out because I thought that can't be right. And it wasn't. Not even close.

            The medical community have released a lot of position papers on gender-affirming care and they are nothing like what this video was claiming. They are well researched and well referenced but everyone is eating up what a guy on Twitter is saying and it's (profanity) weird.

Also, who uses Twitter? It's a cesspool! At least that's my experience from using it.

        Mate I've got two kids in primary school and you are so off-base with this it's coming off as nuts.

        Here's a tough question for you. Why is it that you think groups so closely aligned with the clergy are pushing this so hard? Especially given the clergy's history on pedophilia? Most parents know who to be afraid of. We're not going to teach our kids that gay or trans people are the ones to be afraid of when the true pedophiles are everywhere. One only needs to look at the demographic imprisoned for pedophila to know who they are.

          Gays Against Groomers Frequently Asked Questions

          Our organization faces many of the same questions on a regular basis. We hear you! Sadly, it’s just not possible to answer every single one of you. We would have to have members dedicated to replying to comments day in and day out! Instead, we’ve taken a more practical approach. Here are some of the top questions we are most frequently asked about our stance on issues orbiting our mission to end the sexualization, medicalization and indoctrination of children:

          Why is GAG so against education on LGBTQ+ subjects?

          School is not the place for underage children to be bombarded with information that could exacerbate their natural inner turmoil. Growing up is hard enough as it is. We do not believe they should be exposed to and pressured into contemplating ideologies that prioritize sexuality and identity above real world skills. Children need to be focused on learning pragmatic skills like math, how to be a good friend, setting boundaries, basic communication and how to be a team player. Queer theory and gender ideology are not necessary for development or self discovery; they certainly weren't necessary for ours. When children are exposed to overly sexual material too soon, it can cause behavioral issues that lead them to dangerous situations.

          Why is GAG so against youth having access to puberty blockers and gender affirming surgeries?

          In order to become healthy critically thinking adults, normal puberty is essential. Puberty blockers are a risky and unnatural way of teaching a child to deal with something every human being naturally goes through. The risks include loss of bone density, slowed or stunted brain development, stunted sexual development, and sterility. Removing body parts of healthy children before they’ve grown into them is child abuse, plain and simple. Rather than enabling children to wage war on their own bodies, we believe they should be taught how to love themselves as they are until they can make a clear and informed decision as an adult. Even chest binding is a destructive behavior that damages breast tissue in a way that could lead to mandatory surgery. We are against these practices because they have the potential to do more harm than good.

          What is GAG’s stance on gender vs. sex?

          We believe biology matters. The two terms have been used interchangeably to refer to biological sex until recent years. Gender ideology is not universally accepted, and the majority of the world sees two genders, with a neutral space frequently provided for trans individuals. Sex is not assigned, but observed and recorded by doctors who understand the differences between male and female. Separating the two and introducing advanced concepts to children at a young age while they’re still learning to navigate the world is both overwhelming and confusing. Additionally, people with intersex conditions are frequently used as a bait to misconstrue the dual nature (and reality) of biological sex, and this has been further used to promote gender ideology as well. We do not support such politicization of scientific definitions and realities that in turn misinform children and harm their growth.

          What is GAG’s stance on “the bathroom issue”?

          While we understand there is an ongoing discussion regarding trans adults and which spaces are most appropriate for them, our mission is focused on children. There are nuances to consider when it comes to adults in public spaces, like needing to use an empty male restroom as a pregnant female because the need is too strong to think about any potential dangers. Many passing trans adults have used the restroom they externally identify with in peace without confrontation. There are risks present for all using public spaces. Predators exist in every scenario, and children should be supervised and safeguarded while in their most vulnerable state. Several countries have had gender neutral bathrooms for some time. When it comes to trans adults, gender neutral single stalls are usually available and preferable when possible. We believe public spaces like schools should maintain the binary bathroom model to reduce possible harm to minors, and provide separate single stalls for safety.

          Why won’t GAG denounce the T entirely?

          Being gay is not the same as being transgender, or transsexual. Who you love is not the same as how you choose to present yourself. That being said, trans people are still human beings deserving of compassion, and their voices are vital in exposing how transitioning can affect a child. They have first hand experience with the medications and procedures that we as gay people do not. We must work together to end the transing of children being done in our names. The protection of children comes first. It is not realistic to wage war on transgenderism as a whole, nor is it fair to accuse all trans people of being predators. We are focused on protecting children from these mature concepts until they are consenting adults who are free to make their own choices, and we welcome trans voices that align with our mission.

          Why is GAG so against drag queens?

          We don’t hate drag queens! We hate children being exposed to raunchy and erotic behavior, things drag queens are notorious for. We’re all for adults attending drag shows for fun on their own time. It is common sense to preserve the innocence of children by keeping them out of adult spaces like strip clubs, gay bars, and drag shows. Once again, predators can be found anywhere at any time. No group is exempt from scrutiny. There are so many ways to teach children kindness, self expression and acceptance without relying on a man dressed as a woman. In addition to being age-inappropriate and highly sexualized, are also inherently one-sided as there isn’t enough (or hardly any) representation of drag kings. Drag, as seen in 2023, is innately misogynistic and completely adult-oriented in its essence. This is why we think it’s totally inappropriate for children, and we believe that all sorts of drag performance let alone ‘story-hours’ could easily promote harmful stereotypes in these young minds. This is not age appropriate education. We suggest sticking to hiring princesses, story characters, puppet shows, musicians and clowns. The recent bill passed in Tennessee is a great example of classifying drag as adult cabaret entertainment to keep minors separated from the experience. Well done Tennessee!

          What is GAG’s stance on religion?

          We are a non-partisan group of LGB and T individuals from all walks of life. We don’t let our personal spiritual beliefs get in the way of our mission to work together to end the indoctrination, sexualization and medicalization of children. Not only is this a non-partisan issue, it is something everyone should care about regardless of spiritual beliefs. We respect religious freedom and the rights of parents everywhere to decide what their children are exposed to. Not all parents want their kids to learn about queer ideology and gender theory, nor do all parents have the time or ability to homeschool their children. While we find the erasure of gay people an impossible notion, we respect religious rights to believe homosexuality is wrong. You don’t have to like us, just know that we don’t like the LGBTQ+ agenda being pushed onto children, either.

            @sintro: Why don't they also protest against children going to church?

            I'm a Christian, but if we follow this "bombarded with information that could exacerbate their natural inner turmoil" logic… then perhaps discussions regarding eternal damnation, Satan, people being crucified, etc also fit that category.

            Also, there's much, MUCH more evidence to show abuse of children from priests than there is from the trans community.

      What part of the movie did you watch?
      What is your criticism with evidence and reference to the specfiic scene? Let me guess, you never watched it but you were told to hate it on twittter and have no power to think for yourself.
      Quick, google a scene so you can appear unignorant

        I watched the whole thing. I'm a mother. I'm a woman.

        Here's some critique for you:

        1. The question was not asked of women. Sure there were some women. But there was not a consistent set of women who were hetero, women who were gay, women who had kids, women without kids, women who could not have kids, women born intersex, trans women, women who'd had mastectomies, older women, and so on. How can you ask that question without including the full spectrum of the subject?

        2. They interviewed a lot of people…but didn't fact check them. That's a pretty massive fail. I posted above an example where a statement was made that was just…completely wrong. And is easily provable with a quick google search.

        3. Including kids tikoks where they are naked and showing off surgery scars was awful. These are children. The fact that they've posted these videos in the public sphere does not make it okay to use them in this way. It was so off and as a parent I was appalled.

        I could go on. But the blind acceptance of this by the majority on here given the lack of women involved, the lack of fact checking is just disappointing. I would love to see this remade with women across the spectrum of their experience and their lifespan answering the question because the answers are beautiful and complicated.

          I have seen several comments from you @MessyG, so just to confirm, what is a woman for you?

          • MessyG on 03/06/2023 - 21:41

            @nomekop: There's been several comments from quite a few people, so what makes you ask me specifically? I've already said who I think should be answering that question and why.

              @MessyG: based on how you have answered a simple question, I have sympathy for your children.

              I have children too and to me a woman is an adult human female.
              No whataboutisms about exceptions necessary whatsoever.

              We couldn’t be more different.

              Therefore, this documentary doesn’t create a divide, there IS a divide alreadyx

    A woman is awesome. Grandmothers. Mothers. Sisters. Daughters.

    Sorry but chicks with dicks is not a woman. We can accept, tolerate and embrace those people even, but they are not woman. Not even close.

    With 164 negatives due to this literally being a free tweet as a deal, the reports have been cleared, it's obvious that OzBargains moderator is allowing a literal tweet to be considered a deal.

    Tomorrow I might as well post a meme as a deal, because that's the same thing as this post.

    For the brigadiers, OzBargain isn't Reddit, nor does it have the same voting system. We have unlimited upvotes and only 5 downvotes per day. We are required to comment before downvoting a post because it's not a counter vote.

    A downvote is similar to a report for a deal not being a deal, or against the rules like undisclosed self promotion. Upvotes alone determine the ranking and downvotes are for a post to be removed.

    We're just a deal pin board with a culture around buying stuff we don't need, because it was on sale. It's light hearted and we generally only talk about how to save the most money and be frugal.

    This is not a politics forum, we have a forum section but it's generally for talking about things pertaining to commerce.

    I'm very disappointed that OzBargain has chosen to allow a tweet to remain as a deal posting, when normally the quality of posts are enforced to a point that if a store posts their own deal without disclosure they are banned.

    Many of us don't enjoy the toxic American political culture war, where people get excited by 'owning' eachother like they are in a schoolyard.

    This is a deals bulletin board. A post on social media alone is is no way a deal, no matter how much you might value it.

        You do realise this originally wasn’t even paid content? Matt Walsh released this a while ago for free as it was part of his ongoing reporting, before it got popularised and eventually put on DailyWire+ (where it’s paid content to access this now). Having a film accessible for 24 hours in which you don’t maintain any ownership or streaming licensing hardly warrants a deal considering it will be removed from view. It was literally FREE before (I watched it), so it’s not even a deal in the first place, rather hyperbole advertising for DailyWire+. Also, the ‘sauce’ is that I have a subscription for Jordan Peterson and when it came out it wasn’t on DailyWire+.

      You've hit the nail on the head. We just want cheap Eneloops and Dell monitors. There are other forums available for political discourse. If Ozbargain don't remove this post, then they need to accept that any political issue that is available for free or at a discount is fair game unless they change their rules.

          Horse shit in a park is free and can be used as manure - if we apply a binary lens without any nuance then I agree that free horse shit is technically a deal. What I'm saying is that Ozbargain (that is, bargains for Australia) should not allow political content masquerading as a deal because it is free. It's a place that people should be discussing how to save money, which is especially relevant in these times and I don't want to see this site ruined. There are plenty of other forums or Twitter for these imported USA left-right internet battles.

          For the avoidance of doubt - if this was a deal for a free documentary reaching the conclusion that gender is a social construct I would have exactly the same view. I want to keep politics off Ozbargain.

            @Helldog: Well see I did save money. ‘Cause I’d heard about this doco, but didn’t want to give Matt Walsh or Ben Shapiro money to watch it.

            Edit: you made a decent point in your last paragraph though, that I missed ‘cause I was cooking dinner. I would also be grateful I could watch a polar opposite doco for free.

            That political tag suggestion below is pretty good too.

        I suggest that they make rules so that the deal is tagged [POLITICAL] and comments are automatically closed.

        There are some legitimate bargains that shouldn't be banned just because they don't appeal to everyone.

      Very well said. This post has unloaded the ugliest comments I've ever seen here, and is so wildly off-purpose. The numbers stink and the comments stink.

    Will we be seeing the "journalists" reporting on ozbargain tomorrow? Some random 21k+ follower twit is trying to get the activist journalists involved: https://twitter.com/stilgherrian/status/1664794582624911360

    Usually the way it works is the media writes a few articles making ozbargain look bad, then the ozbargain admin will capitulate to the demands for censorship and remove this deal and then the leftists win.

    If you positively upvoted this deal and have publicly identifiable information, be prepared to get doxxed too.

      OTOH the alternative-and-just-as-bad media will be all over the overwhelmingly positive upvotes.

      I don't want this censored. Moved to the forum would be more sensible but I want all of these comments on this thread and the other one, out in public in all their glory for posterity. My favourite was the one in the other thread where I was told that women shouldn't be involved in deciding what a woman is.

        I don't care if the Matt Walsh doco is a deal or a forum thread but if Rings of Power and any deal like it: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/722279 is a deal then the doco has just as much a right to be a deal.

        How about taking a break from the supposedly insignificant and waste of time culture war (according to leftists) and spending time with your 2 children? In a few hours, you've made 65 posts in this thread alone.

        • MessyG on 03/06/2023 - 21:53

          I love that you counted and I love that I can and I want it all here for posterity.

      Some random 21k+ follower twit is trying to get the activist journalists involved

      As of when I clicked on it (13h later, according to Twitter), he's stuck at 1000 total views, 14 Likes and exactly one retweet.

      Putting aside my incredulity that this guy gets to call himself a journalist with those sorts of numbers (particularly given his apparent follower count), as a fan of shitstorms I'm also just disappointed. He needs to try harder and be better. We all need him to try harder and just be better than he is.
