I don’t care what you do. My opinion might be wrong, but it is entirely reasonable given the evidence. Your claim that it is ridiculous is an attempt to shut down discussion.

Speaking of ridiculous, apparently making multiple posts discussing a subject with multiple people is "an attempt to shut down discussion" on that very subject.

I mean really mate? That's what you're going with?

That's really f**king lame, please do better.

FFS they were both homosexuals and drag queens. So if Weaving and Peace were not transexuals, they were certainly transvestites.
I think what Pou Bear is saying, is that they were only transvestites for entertainment purposes (i.e. when they put on a show). The rest of the time they were just normal homosexuals.

Well your multiple posts are clearly an attempt to frame an opposing point of view as illogical and unreasonable. You’re not interested in discussion, you are interested in pushing your point of view. It’s fine if you’re unconcerned about the harmful effects of identity politics. Others know enough about history to believe the threat is very real.

But yeah, umm, “do better” you smug troll.

I thought it was obvious. I don’t know if Gronk truly thinks homosexuals and trans women are the same thing or if he just assumed I should think that because I’m not firmly on the progressive bus.

If my assertion is your point of view is incorrect, then I would suggest that a discussion would quite normally revolve around that, and further it would make perfect sense to frame your point of view as illogical, elsewise I'd likely just have to rely on the vibe of the thing, or maybe just feelz. You know, like you have here.

But hey, sit in the corner and play the victim, I'm sure some merkin will eventually feel sorry for you mate.

I know what he was saying, but he’s wrong. I posted a scene were Pearce goes to the pub as a woman to get pissed. So he did it outside work.

Well not really because I’ve conceded my predictions might be wrong. But they are certainly not illogical. That’s how assessments work in the face of insufficient information. We generally don’t prove theories, we can usually only disprove them. This is where the term ‘black swan’ comes from. No amount of white swans can prove that ‘all swans are white’, but a single black swan can disprove it.
But hey, sit in the corner and play the victim, I'm sure some merkin will eventually feel sorry for you mate.
I’ve got enough money and credentials that I’m not worried about myself. I thought I made that clear. I am worried about the people I care about who have nothing. Hope is closely linked to opportunity. When people with nothing are told their opportunities will be eroded to address historical grievances they lose hope.

They still didn't identify as them/they. Neither did Peter Wherrett. He identified as a he and later a she.

You’re being evasive. I gave you plot synopsis and evidence that they (Pearce and Weaving) just dont go drag for entertainment, which was your original claim.
Whatever their reasons, they identify as men. That doesn’t change just because they put on a dress.

Yes, but in the movie they didn’t just go in drag for entertainment only. Correct ?
I said they did it ironically. They picked and chose when and where to do it. Whether they got paid performing on stage or did it to feel superior to a pub full of hillbillies, it’s all conscious subversion of norms for personal gain. All power to them but Weaving’s and Pearce’s characters were not transsexuals.
