Tommy needs to arm up and get a concealed handgun for his wife,at least that's what we would do here. I feel terrible for Tommy Robinson and how he is getting attacked and harassed by the media and the government. His haters are huge in number,but so are his fans and allies.

Naomi replies on Mar 25, 2019:

Ah, but then, that's exactly what they (the rotten establishment) want; they're waiting for Tommy to react badly. That'll give them a golden opportunity to lock him up. How frustrating! Thankfully, Tommy is not stupid.

This is the point at which I feel I'm absolutely stuck and powerless.

RobBlair comments on Mar 25, 2019:

Anti speech laws. Calling it hate speech is silly. The idea that children don't know anything but somehow know that they aren't the gender they are is an irrational jump. Giving children castration drugs is child abuse and I hope to someday see the doctors that participate in this child abuse go ...

Naomi replies on Mar 25, 2019:

Thanks for the article - interesting! At least one thing I'm clear about is that I definitely disagree that gender is fluid. To me, it has to stay as just a theory. Otherwise, it's nonsense. I'm not so concerned about self identification with adults; I expect them to be responsible for whatever choice they may make and suffer the consequences. However, when children, say aged 10 to 14, think that they're trapped in a wrong body and, if their condition is properly identified as gender dysphoria (and even if their minds are influenced by ideological activist parents like the one in the video), then, I think we have a responsibility as members of society to protect them. As the article suggests, even if they eventually grow out of it, how we should accommodate such children in various social circumstances until such time comes would be my question. Incidentally, in the UK, children under the age 18 with gender dysphoria are provided with psychological treatment, mainly by counselling, Puberty is also taken into consideration. My brain is hurting. lol

This is the point at which I feel I'm absolutely stuck and powerless.

I take your point about Thatcher, but I think it has to be discussed under a different post. Why don't you open a debate on Thatcherism yourself? I'm sure many people will be interested. As you point out yourself, a tiny excerpt from someone's remark is inferable, and that is the point I was making. Please let me know if you can think of any excerpts and quotes that are slightly controversially inferable, as I hardly know any myself.

I hear what you say. The UK government is terrible in a similar manner. Brexit is on news day in day out, and it's become apparent that the politicians are not representing their constituents; they're too busy with political struggles among themselves to listen to what the people in the UK are demanding. Plus, the censorship implemented by the government is getting worse. Freedom of speech is dying in the UK, yet, many people seem nonchalant about it. Perhaps, they can't relate themselves when high-profile figures like Sargon of Akkad and Tommy Robinson become banned by social media. The thing is, once it got to them, it would be all too late.

Naomi replies on Mar 24, 2019:

Thank you very much for sharing your piece - very interesting! I always interact with people as individuals and never identify them with the categories they belong to, so, I have no problems with LGBTQs. I was intrigued by the article I originally posted about the Japanese government's approach to gender transition. Having found more about it and trying to read between the lines, I'm beginning to think that the Japanese GID Act was set up to send out a message that gender transition mustn't be taken too lightly. But then, this obviously does not help solve the problems the trans people face in Japan. This is such a huge matter. Even the definition of gender is debatable; some define it simply by the biological concept and others by the societal concept. Some regard gender transition as a mental disorder and others do not. Then, there are human right issues, social issues like interactions with others from marriage to child adoption and even bathroom sharing, a whole bunch of stuff! At least one thing that is clear in my head is that I also disagree that gender is fluid. I have to say that it is an ideological trend. I also agree when you talk about reproduction in evolutionary terms. I think it was Bret Weinstein who made a similar comment in one of those debates/ discussions he was in, maybe on YouTube. Thanks again for your contribution. I shall carry on hurting my brain. lol

Naomi replies on Mar 24, 2019:

Not sure if gender transition is all down to individual choice and freedom if that includes switching over between sexes as one wishes. Choice always comes with responsibilities and consequences, right? So whether gender is defined by the biological concept or by the societal concept, it affects social integration like relationships and the roles of those in the relationships.

Naomi replies on Mar 23, 2019:

As young as 9 - gasp! In the UK, the NHS (National Health Service) provides treatment for gender dysphoria. For children under 18, it is normally psychological treatment by counselling. Puberty is also taken into consideration. Meanwhile, the Gender Recognition Act 2004 gives certain legal rights to trans men and women. In a nutshell, under the Gender Recognition Act of 2004, trans men and women can: - apply for and obtain a Gender Recognition Certificate to acknowledge their gender identity - get a new birth certificate, driving licence and passport - marry in their new gender To apply for a Gender Recognition Certificate, you must be over 18. The application process requires you to prove that: - you have or have had gender dysphoria - you have lived as your preferred gender for the last two years - you intend to live permanently in your preferred gender In the video, "the violation of human rights" is mentioned. I'm not sure how to define the scope of the human rights any more, as the social structure, particularly in the West, has become very complicated. Of course, everybody has the right to live, but does this right extend to include the right to change the gender, I wonder...

Naomi replies on Mar 22, 2019:

What is distinctive about Tommy Robinson is that he is just a working-class lad from a small town of England. He hasn't got much academic background. He's never been involved in politics (he actually hates and distrusts all politicians, hence he's never voted); it's more like that he's been dragged into politics (some describe him as a "political prisoner"). He's not a racist, not an Islamophobe, nor is he far-right. He is a single-issue man; he fights against Islamic ideology. I think his existence speaks volumes; many people can relate themselves to him because he is just an ordinary bloke who is fighting for his country and its culture and for freedom of speech.

When it comes to freedom of speech, I reckon it is worse in the UK than it is in the US; we have hate speech laws - a big mistake! It is fair to say that Tommy Robinson is a divisive figure. Some say he is a free speech fighter, and others say he is just a thug. He is loved by many because he speaks the truth, and he is also hated by many because he won't stop speaking the truth - ha, ha! You're right; the UK and the US, and the West as a whole, have common problems - freedom of speech, identity politics, political correctness, and so on. They drive me nuts!

That's the thing. I can understand the cause and development of the Yellow Vest movement. I can even sympathise with the protesters. Demonstrations have been going on for 18 consecutive weekends (and how many more weekends?!) and this involves a lot commitment, persistence and perseverance. It is all very well that they want Macron out, but other than that, I don't think there is anything specific on the table right now to settle the situation any time soon.

Even if Begum was imprisoned successfully so that she will never come out, prisons in the UK are already full of Islamist criminals, i.e., UK prisons are breeding grounds for Islamist extremism, and this is a fact. She would take the advantage of being in prison and try to radicalise other offenders. If that is the case, she could be held in a solitary confinement unit, I guess, but then, considering there are already many others like her, it would be difficult to provide enough facilities so that they can all be held in solitary confinement units respectively.

Naomi replies on Mar 14, 2019:

Shamima Begum (the British ISIS bride) initially begged to return to the UK when she was found in a Syrian refugee camp. She was heavily pregnant. She gave birth to a baby boy but he soon died in the refugee camp. While she had her citizenship revoked, the baby was allowed to be British and he would probably have been adopted in the UK. You can imaging how many "emotional beings" were upset by the news about the baby's death, and they blamed the government for not allowing Begum to return to the UK, implying that the baby could've be saved otherwise. Since we're all emotional beings after all, maybe this is a good example of ourselves making a decision rather intuitively and emotionally and then trying to reason/rationalise the decision afterwards (Jonathan Heidt said something like that somewhere).
