Why would it be notable that 'lefties' disagree with each other? You think we all think homogeneously?

Misty's used to taking instructions about what he should think. That's why he gets confused when there is diversity of thought amongst people he labels as lefties.

lol. There's no diversity when you try to ban someone from speaking.

Of course there is. It provokes debate. Debate because there is diversity of thought.

I agree with her.

Transgender - more proof that gays / poofters are just plain sick in the head.

Germaine Greer: Transgender women are 'not women'

24 October 2015 Last updated at 09:27 BST

Australian-born academic and writer Germaine Greer has said that in her opinion, transgender women are "not women".

She also claims that "a great many women" who are not transgender think transgender women - who she refers to as "male to female transgender people" - do not "look like, sound like or behave like women".

Greer did say that she would be prepared to use female pronouns when referring to someone, if that was their preference, "as a courtesy".

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-34625512

This woman is a never-ending embarrassment to women the world over. She says TGs don't "look like, sound like or behave like women". Take a look in the mirror Germaine. You don't either.

Any debate here is only a side-effect, and an unintentional one at that, and not the point of what this censoring clown is trying to achieve.

It's hilarious watching lefties trying to outdo each other on who's the most offended.

Again you spectacularly miss the point.

If you stopped ascribing people's beliefs systems for them, you would expand your thinking tremendously.

What point am I missing?

No. The debate started when Greer made her comments. It's been going on ever since.

I know Germaine Greer was hard core back in the day, but I think she's OK these days.

There've been a few comments over the last few years that show she's finally come around to something resembling reality.

Yes - at one time she was certifiably insane, they say.

You are missing that people who you ascribe belief systems to may well surprise you by thinking outside the box you have ascribed them.

Look - I prefer my women soft to the touch, with the right shape to stroke, and with that certain smell etc that goes with them - transgenders can never be those things.

You are suggesting 'lefties' are of a 'type'.

Just like you think feminists are of a 'type'.

It;s foolish thinking.

Everyone displays certain characteristics. Human beings have categorised people probably even before language was invented. It's what we do.

It's hilarious watching leftards disagreeing with leftards.

Why? I would think disagreement is the sign of a vibrant community?

The 'vibrants' want to shut her up.
They do not want to discuss, they want to ban because all they have is their emotional incontinence and pouting.
