alfa wrote:Quick questions Jared, how did you even stumble upon this forum as you're definately not the type that has been here over the decades? What makes you want to continue posting here seeing that literally no one has agreed with any of your discussions and points so far, what's your objective by doing this? No one here is going to change their mindset so are you using this as a research platform or some sort of case study? And lastly are you interested in any topic on this site besides gender, cars, covid, Rowley? Plenty of hot topics. You need to be well rounded on this site young man

3. isn't my right to free speech infringed if i am forced to call a biologically male person she or they?
4. im not against anyone who wants to identify as a different sex, or no sex... but dont be against me if i scientifically see you as your biological sex
1. Sex is biological. Gender is a social construct.
2. Considering some of our fellow citizens made homophobic remarks to our President (as of 31/01/2023) Paula-Mae Weekes in 2018, I would say it is an act of courtesy to be nice to others like you would want others to you. I know this doesn't relate to the topic there, but is similar in nature.

3. No, you are not being arrested for saying it. However some jobs do offer anti-discriminatory laws in their place. You could say anything you want in public, however you would deal with the consequences of your actions later on.
4. Besides the fact that you cannot "scientifically" see a person's sex. They change gender not sex, hence the term transgender.
you have not answered question 3 accurately, or you completely ignored it and answered question 2 as 3. so i will ask again:
isn't my right to free speech infringed if i am forced to call a biologically male person she or they?
i will also ask a follow up:
what jobs in TnT has anti-discriminatory laws with calling a man 'he/him' rather than 'she/they'? Or are you basing ur answer from American media?4. Besides the fact that you cannot "scientifically" see a person's sex.
please explain because i dont think you even understand your answer.
Redoing the responses for questions 2, 3 and 4.
2. In Trinidad and Tobago, there are no laws which specifically criminalize transphobic behavior. However, it is important to note that perpetuating hate speech or any type of discrimination based on gender identity is highly frowned upon. Transphobia can hurt individuals psychologically and emotionally, with lasting effects. Even if an act of transphobia does not result in any legal consequences, it could result in a range of other consequences such as dialogue about corrective action being taken by management to address the issue, social backlash from friends and family, public shaming or having your reputation tarnished.
3. No, your right to free speech is not necessarily infringed if you are asked to refer to a biologically male person by the pronouns they or she. Gender pronouns such as these can be used instead of gendered language that implies assigning sex to personhood, which can be hurtful and offensive to those who identify outside of the gender binary. As such, it could be seen as simply asking for respect for an identity or experience.
4. It is not possible to “scientifically” see someone’s sex in public because sex and gender are two very different aspects of a person's identity. Sex is determined by a combination of biological characteristics such as anatomy, hormones, and genes and reflects the biological differences between male and female bodies. Gender, on the other hand, is traditionally defined as one's sense of being male or female and is an internal sense of self that may or may not reflect traditional stereotypes assigned to each sex. Therefore, it is not possible to determine someone's sex simply by looking at them in public. Assuming someone's gender based on physical appearance can be detrimental to their mental health as it invalidates their personal gender identity by omitting their agency in determining how to identify themselves. This type of assumption can contribute to feelings of exclusion and alienation which can heavily impact mental well-being. Additionally, making assumptions on how people should present themselves based solely on their perceived gender can also lead to potential safety risks due to outdated societal norms. Therefore, it is important not to make assumptions about a person’s gender when interacting with them in public settings in order to maintain respect for individuals’ identities.
See 3, for that question you posted afterwards.
There are a variety of jobs in Trinidad and Tobago that have anti-discriminatory laws with calling a man 'he/him' rather than 'she/they':
1. Hospitality and service industry jobs such as wait staff, bartenders, chefs, front desk clerks, etc.
2. Retail industry jobs such as cashiers, sales associates, customer service representatives, etc.
3. Construction trade occupations such as plumbers, electricians, masons, carpentry or joinery workers, etc.
4. Professional or finance sector jobs such as accountants, attorneys, brokers or financial advisors.
5. Education jobs such as teachers or school administrators
6. Transportation careers such as commercial pilots or taxi drivers
7. Creative industries like graphic designers and artists
These are typically handled by the individual companies themselves and not the state, at least at the the time of post (04/02/2023).

It would actually benefit the whole country tbh. A lot less crimes will happen because Keisha child fadda doh hadda study to mind 8 chiren anymore. Also one less ghetto youth in circulation.
Should probably make it mandatory for certain income brackets.
(we'll set aside the notion that it's killing a human for now)
That was an incredibly racist and insensitive assestment to make on your part, I would ask you to apologize for writing that current message and refrain from making anymore of those claims in the future.
It also goes to show you that men would rather blame women (and to an extent, race) for the problems that is plaguing the country. When its in fact the environment, the children is borugh up on where everywhere they go, they see other men, whether it be their friends, family, neighbours, relatives, men in the media etc. exhibiting traits indicative of toxic masculinity.

On the one hand, you have some valid points about how women are treated in T&T.
On the other, you are conflating it with your real agenda - to push the Alphabet people's perspective.
UWI Gender Studies training you well.
Unfortunately, not everyone will fall for such cultivated BS.
I am not doing a Gender Studies degree though. And I believe that everybody in this country everybody inclusive of race, gender identity, ethnicity, disabilities, neurodiversity, sexuality, sex, etc. should be treated equally and with respect, and not to be discriminated against.

what was racist about this? he didn't specify a race - he was speaking in general
you assumed the race --- that makes you the racist, no? lol
You mentioned ghetto. Although since about 95% of the population of Trinidad and Tobago are poor racial minorities living in built-up areas; in the true sense of the word, the entire urban national area could, in fact, be considered a ghetto.ruffneck_12 wrote:st7 wrote:Jared Mohammed wrote:ruffneck_12 wrote:Actually I saw a gold nugget in that pile of words there

I now see d response
BUt yeah lmaooooo, I didn't mention a race. There are ghetto indians as well in certain parts of the country (albeit in smaller numbers)
So the environment is to blame for the kids turning out as criminals huh?
Leh me ask you this then. Other than men, WHO IS THE OTHER HALF OF THE POPULATION?
So women are just absolved of all sins and have no agency/accountability for their decisions?

In a sufficiently large organization, the diversity manager works within the Human Resources department. Otherwise, it's all Toby's job.
