Instead I have to say: "Thank you to the growers of each of the following fruits:

Fuji
Granny Smith
Honeycrisp
Golden Delicious
McIntosh
Pink Lady
Braeburn
Ambrosia
Bramley
Charles Ross
Crispin

..."I could go on - there are over 7,000 varieties of Apples around the world...
So, if I say "I love Apple Pie", please forgive me, growers of Granny Smith Apples, but I mean to say that I love "Braeburn Apple Pie", and the rest of you Apple Growers can go fuck yourselves...
Or, maybe, just a thought, sometimes we could have words or phrases in the English Language, that mean a WHOLE CATEGORY of things - all at once!
For example: "Men and Women" could include, cis-gender, trans-gender, and even hermaphrodite, inter-sex, and even eunichs! And even THAT is just a partial list! ... all without having to name each one, separately!
OMG - consider, just for a moment, how much easier that would make our language!
mind blown
You know how when you buy a new car, all of a sudden you see that car .... EVERYWHERE!
Or, if you have a scary experience with a spider, all of a sudden, you see spiders... EVERYWHERE!
Or, if you get called out for being a transphobe, you suddenly see transphobia in EVERYTHING!

As expected, the troll arrived with his head up his ass.
-
Ummm seems like we are reading into this a bit more than what we need to... what is the alternative? men, women, non binary, transgendered?
-
When we have the most ultra woke administration in US history, you'd think they'd be quite a bit more inclusive.
Hell, Facebook had 56 genders about 6 years ago, while Google had 72 genders.

@raphjd How, specifically, would you have redone their statement?

He wouldn't - you see, there is some context here: some time ago, @raphjd said some things about trans people that some others took issue with (not really me, I just thought he showed himself to be clueless about actual trans people - but he directs ALL his ire to me, so I took up the cause! Mostly because of his childish overreaction to the whole thing - which this posting is perfectly in line with...)
What do I mean? LOL
He was called a trans-phobe, and he pulled a Donald Trump-like "I'm the least trans-phobic person in the whole world, I love trannies" kind of response out of his ass. (NOTE: You will never catch @raphjd admit to an error, or apologize... Again, like Trump, it's just not in his armory!)So now, any statement that references people, but fails to specifically include trans-people, is a trans-phobic moment for him! He seems to think that calling everything not trans-inclusive (specifically & literally) trans-phobic, will somehow "fix" is faux pas. (Instead, it constantly brings it back up!)
My grandfather taught me young: "Son, when you make a mistake, admit it, own it, and get past it. That way it'll die and be forgotten. Otherwise, it just might stick to you and hold you back for the rest of your life!" Good advise in the 1970's, and equally good today, IMHO!
@raphjd should have just let it die... now, he can't let it go!
-
Do you mean how you are a transphobe by saying men can't get pregnant or have periods?
It's you hypocrite liberals that can't make your minds up.
And for the record, you troll, I have never, ever been a transphobe as I have always supported real trans people. I am, however, against trans-trenders.
As the worker person you love to pretend to be, you do love to misgender me.
And once again, your extreme TDS is showing. You can barely make a post without mentioning him.
-
They could have referenced "people".
-
TLDR; is this post just @raphjd, again, being ironically trans-supportive, to highlight what a transphobic ass he really is?
-
Ah, so liberal hypocrisy on trans people is being pro-trans.
The funny thing is, I have been far more supportive to trans people than liberals have.

Just like Trump was the "Greatest President in all of history for Black People, except for Lincoln, no, maybe even better than him!"
Just because you CLAIM something over and over and over (ad nauseum), does not - EVER - make it come true!
-
You are the clear transphobe, since you deny that men can have periods and get pregnant.
All you liberals make excuses when your own violate your own trans dogma, but screech and bleat when conservatives disagree with your bullshit.

Men cannot get pregnant... Trens-men can.
Men do not have periods... Trans-men can.Here you are, back to your Humpty Dumpty mode:
What other people write means exactly what you say it does, nothing more, and nothing less.You need a class in the English Language.
The word "men" can have many meanings... some are specific, some are generalized, and in English, sometimes "men" means "all people"... and sometimes, "men" means cis-gendered adult males.You know, even Russians get this right... only you seem to have a problem with the concept... I guess you're just a poor student! Which explains why you were exiled from Mother Russia and posted in your little back-water village...
So now, Humpty Dumpty, please regail us with your twisted logic about how trans-supportive you are... indeed, how you are the MOST trans-supportive person in Scotland, no - in the UK, no, in all of Europe, maybe even the WORLD! Maybe even the Universe! Yeah! That's the ticket!

But trans-men ARE men unless you are a transphobe who is "othering" them.
As a liberal, you should know all of this.

I see - so the fact that the term "men" can sometimes include trans-men and other times not is hard fro you to understand...
I understand... that's a difficult subject to wrap your hands around. Indeed, I can see now why the Governor of our Great State of Florida wanted to keep the topic away from 8-year-olds! He must know you!
-
Ah, so you, a diehard leftist, view trans-men as men when it suits your agenda.
Any exclusion of trans-men from "men" is transphobic, except to the lunatic left who make up the rules (for any topic) to suit their agenda.

Thank you, Humpty-Dumpty, for your explanation of the entire English Language!
As was pointed out, and you now have confirmed:
YOU: @raphjd, Lord of the English Language, keeper of all dictionaries, thesauruses, and other reference manuals, Lord, Emperor of the Internet have decreed:
Henceforth, all use of the term "men" shall include trans-men, but not intersex men, and only cig-gendered men when they're not colseted trand-women, and not anyone under age 18, unless emancipated by a court...
Clear and simple!
-
You are such a troll.
-
@raphjd Well you are trolling yourself with this thread. The US state department hasn't said, what you are saying, you are just thinking it, because you have an agenda all the time.
