anywhere in US in stage 4 lockdown at all?
In Australia Melbourne is in spooky ass lockdown. This includes -
- Mandatory masks
- curfew between 8pm-5am
- no leaving your house except to go food shopping or to "exercise", and you have to stay within 5 kms of your home
- only one person from household to go into shop at a time
- no visiting anyone.
Is it the same overseas?

I don't think so but most of the nation should be and we're facing it again especially if the LIBERALS® win

In France, masks are mandatory for any enclosed space/public transport (shops, grocery stores, bars, cafes etc. Clubs are still closed) and if you go to work in an office. No gatherings over 10 ppl either. Besides that, normalcy is slowly returning. We had a brief spike the past few days of 3000 new infections per day, but it's down to 500 today. Nothing compared to the US, with around 65,000 + new infections each day atm.
 
Just by way of making conversation, I was yet again arguing with my daughter today about transgender people. She is a passionate advocate of transgender rights. I am perfectly okay with the transgender thing: gender dysmorphia is real: people have a right to sex changes. But ...

what I meant to say re the transgender thing is that it seems dishonest and silly to suggest a transgender person is "male" or "female" in precisely the same way as a biological male or female....yet this seems sort of mandatory. My daughter thinks I am a fascist.

you have to define them by biology before they can transition away from that gender and to the other one.

so honestly your daughter is wrong on a philosophical level.

Your daughter is naive and is probably a little caught up in "woke" culture. She'll likely grow out of it. I am liberal as hell and very live and let live. So long as people are adults, let them do whatever the fuck they want so long as it doesn't harm others. With that said, there are 2 fucking genders scientifically speaking, end of. You're not a fascist, if anything, your daughters group-think behaviour is more fascist than your line of reasoning.

I'm not French, but am at my mom's place in SW France. I'm an American/British dual citizen and I grew up in China. By blood I'm Italian/British/French.

actually - again I might sound like a prig - I question the wisdom of children under 18 transitioning.

I mean kids as young as 7 are sometimes put on hormones! And (at least with FTM sex change) the hormones make men sterile. Now this is not an issue, obviously, if the guy goes ahead with his sex change and lives happily ever after. But a bummer if the guy realises he doesnt really want to be a woman...
 
Weird fact: in Iran it is a capital offense to be gay. However sex changes are legal. Apparently there's quite a few gay men having sex changes purely in order to be able to legally have sex with men (ie as women).

death to Iran

No, death to the Iranian government. Iranian people have been lovely ime. All the ones I know are awesome. I was at a friend's BBQ one time and we were all drinking a lot and it was about 3am. The question came up that if you had to nuke one country, what country would you nuke? It went around the table and when it came to Shaheen (My Iranian friend), without skipping a beat, he said "Iran." Pretty fucked up if you ask me, but it's because he hates the "Peasant president" so much.
