So what's the next trend

"The Tavistock gender clinic is facing mass legal action from youngsters who claim they were rushed into taking life-altering puberty blockers.
Lawyers expect about 1,000 families to join a medical negligence lawsuit alleging vulnerable children have been misdiagnosed and placed on a damaging medical pathway."https://www.yahoo.com/news/child…
"Most children who believe that they are transgender are just going through a “phase”, the NHS has said, as it warns that doctors should not encourage them to change their names and pronouns.NHS England has announced plans for tightening controls on the treatment of under 18s questioning their gender, including a ban on prescribing puberty blockers outside of strict clinical trials.
The services, which will replace the controversial Tavistock clinic, will be led by medical doctors rather than therapists and will consider the impact of other conditions such as autism and mental health issues."
- entirely BS. no families are joining the class action. and 'rushed' = two - three years waiting list, Tavistock clinic has changed to a regional model as it waskingsteven
- so overwhelmed. Boomer conspiracy shit.kingsteven
- The health side effects of all the procedures and drugs - surely isn't worth it to end up looking a bit of a mess.shapesalad
- Health services should focus on the ill, not mutilating healthy children who have very little experience of real life to inform a literally life changing op.shapesalad
- The crippled deserve to be paid pension for the rest of their lives, like lobotomy survivorsdrgs
- its nothing to do with reassignment surgery shape, mostly young girls that are tomboys that were sent to a oversubscribed clinic which didn't have the resourceskingsteven
- to properly assess if they were transgender, but used the fact they had been living as boys for years to make the decision they should on puberty blockerskingsteven

People want the name "Hawaiian Pizza" changed...
The name “Hawaii” is associated with the history of colonialism and appropriation, because it is precisely with the pineapple cultivation that the indigenous population was exploited by white settlers. The debate is therefore not directly about racism, but about “colonial stereotypes”.
- The Hawaiian pizza. Invented by a Greek immigrant in Canada. You can’t get more authentic than that._niko
- With pizza concocted by Italians using tomatoes first grown in Central America with bread first baked in Egypt and cheese founded in Poland_niko
- Everyone should be up in arms.

Why I think wokeness is so hard to get down with and why most people secretly despise transsexuals: It's not because of their orientation per se, but there is something about their attitude which makes them unbearable...
A transgender right activist (for example) is happy to meet a likeminded person, who supports transgenders, but they are even happier to meet someone who doesn't.
There is some kind of pleasure in conflict for them. All minorities either need someone to hate or to be hated to define themselves, otherwise they just blend in with the rest population (which ironically is their goal on paper).The explanation is always the same: sexual dissatisfaction, and sexually dissatisfied people are motivated in general, in regards to any objective.

Everyone is racist
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In…Oxytocin, the so-called love hormone, is really a us-vs-them amplifier.
https://time.com/49399/oxytocin-…
"A study done in the Netherlands showed that oxytocin increased the in-group favoritism of their nation while decreasing acceptance of members of other ethnicities and foreigners.[41] People also show more affection for their country's flag while remaining indifferent to other cultural objects when exposed to oxytocin."If evolution has given us a separate hormone with oxytocin-specific receptors, there must have been a good reason for it. Xenophobia had some beneficial function in the past when we lived in small tribes, but today it's an atavism -- an ancestral trait like vestigial tail, werewolf syndrome, wisdom teeth etc, except racism is not a throwback, but a full featured instinct.
The problem is that our biology is stubborn and racism will probably stick with us for many hundreds of years to come. There is no obvious negative selection where racists are filtered out from the gene pool.
Just realize it's part of your firmware and not part of your personality. Some people are able to ignore it (together with other firmware functions like fear of death, desire to supersede others etc), the remaining 90% are functional illiterates and don't have this level of reflection.
This is why I'm pessimistic about multiculturalism in general. Not because it's bad or immigrants are bad or whatever, but simply because humans in general, both immigrants and natives, are not mature enough to handle it.
Meanwhile, we aim to colonize Mars and other planets while still carrying these cave instincts. Chances are some religious group will wipe out half of humanity with some AI-engineered virus or a bucket of pure botox-grade neurotoxin thrown into the ocean

Re: Phanlo's post
Back in the day, my favorite spot was this Sichuan joint in Alabama that was an obvious drug front. Beyond obvious, I’m talking you have to knock on the glass to get in, 150 seats, empty, unlit, and when you flipped on the lights to the bathroom hallway you’d startle rows of goldfish circling in algae-coated aquariums that were all lined up in storage.
The food end was managed by a legit mama tiger, and she’d fire up the kitchen when I came in. Best fucking dan dan and mapo I’ve ever had. Just typing this is making me drool a bit.
It became a first date place, to the point where if I came in alone, mama would sit down with me while I ate and berate me with lines like “Why’d you run her off, she was pretty!”
So yeah, just a long response to the overly politically correct Karen screenshot. Appreciating great food and a great environment is not appropriation, it’s like Scara said: “cultural appreciation”.
