Gender again. Sorry!

Why don't you @ the site owner and tell him his site is being used as a platform for criminal behaviour, rather than reminding him of his responsibilities in the thread? I expect he'll want to review your own contributions.

If you have nothing relevant to add on the thread topic I suggest you have a rest from the intimidation attempts. Nobody is buying it.

Nobody is buying it.

monkers here now

Are you speaking now for everyone on the forum, or all women, or all of humanity? It's a job to know the limits of your status given your grandeur.

 

[monkers]

N here

You are claiming intimidation. My job is to assess claims for admissibility at the ECHR. You think I will have difficulty ruling your claim inadmissible?

To make a claim of intimidation, you will need to say that you became afraid of somebody making threats, that they intend to cause you harm.

If you are saying that my posts are causing you fear, then you need to say what you are afraid of. In your case it is fear from the knowledge imparted by a lawyer saying that your behaviour is criminal and may or may not be of interest to the police.

You have said that you do not believe the lawyer, or that the police will be interested. You will have read that the person does not intend to bring the matter to the attention of the police. The claim does not meet the requirement that the claim of fear inducement is genuine, or that the person stated any intent to harm you.

The stark reality is that you have realised that your own behaviour is indeed criminal.

I find the claim inadmissible. I will add it to the pile of no hopers, and make it my 'no hoper of the week' award for stupidity.

 

[AuroraSaab]

I'm not intimidated. Hope that helps. The more you post the dafter you look. In my opinion, of course.

Summates you well I think.

 

[AuroraSaab]

All a matter of opinion, Bromptonaut. I feel the same about you of course.

 

[monkers]

I'm not intimidated.

N here.

Therefore you must be saying that I intimidated somebody else? Or perhaps this was the same nobody as the nobody who wasn't buying it?

 

[AndyRM]

Who's buying these intimidations and where can I get one?

This thread has become seriously baffling.

"Just the place for a Snark!" Aurora cried,
As she landed her crew with care;
Supporting each man on the top of the tide
By a finger entwined in his hair.

"Just the place for a Snark! I have said it twice:
That alone should encourage the crew.
Just the place for a Snark! I have said it thrice:
What I tell you three times is true."

The crew was complete: it included a Boots—
A maker of Bonnets and Hoods—
A Barrister, brought to arrange their disputes—
And a Broker, to value their goods.

A Billiard-marker, whose skill was immense,
Might perhaps have won more than his share—
But a Banker, engaged at enormous expense,
Had the whole of their cash in his care.

 

[AuroraSaab]

N here.

I said you attempt it. I can only speak for myself as to your lack of success.

 

[monkers]

I said you attempt it. I can only speak for myself as to your lack of success.

Whereas you do not merely attempt behaviour which could be found to be criminal in law, you succeed. Therefore your success trumps my failure. I get it, I really do. Well done.

Wasn't really sure where to put this excellent summary of parkrun on the eve of it's 20th anniversary, but here fits I suppose.

Interesting stats in this article:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jan/24/children-england-gender-dysphoria-diagnosis-rise

Diagnoses of gender dysphoria in children has risen over 10 years, but is still low.

Even lower is the number of those diagnosed who receive prescriptions for puberty blockers...not even 5%.

Kind of puts the moral panic into perspective, doesn't it.

Kinda makes out it was a bit of a craze, that weirdos manipulated and capitalised upon

It's a 50 fold increase in ten years. The number of girls referred doubled. That should have triggered alarm bells and analysis to find the reasons. It would with any other physical illness or mental health condition. Not that many children are diagnosed with anorexia either but a similar increase in numbers, especially when most were suddenly teenage girls, would be considered alarming.

Also in the article, a mention that new research "concluded it was impossible to determine conclusively from available evidence whether puberty blockers and gender hormone therapy helped or harmed children and young people".

So no evidence of real benefit for the drug therapy, that can have serious side effects, which the GIDS service was offering these kids.
