Predator who claimed to be transgender declared dangerous offender

quote [ A sexual predator who falsely claimed to be transgender and preyed on women at two Toronto shelters... ]

Because intellectual honesty means acknowledging opposing arguments.

Yes, I'm throwing our resident troll a bone here. Not that I agree with numbers' beliefs, to be clear, but because of the above reason.

Interestingly, I haven't heard anyone on either side reference this case when talking about the NC law, even though (or perhaps because) it predates this whole debate by several years. One bad apple etc., but we can't claim this "never happens" because it clearly did at least once.

The question is on it's face bigoted. Has it been determined beyond reasonable doubt that nobody is using cisgenderism as a tool to commit criminal acts? It's an absurdity.

What has ever been gained by talking to holocaust deniers or phrenologists? Ignoring the absurd and ridiculous doesn't make for an echo chamber. That's a false dilemma.

I have no interest in changing numbers mind. I have no interest in including them in my society at all.

I have no interest in changing numbers mind. I have no interest in including them, or their ideas, in my society at all. We'd all be better off if people like that didn't exist. Pretending they don't is almost as good.
