That’s about what I figured. Being labeled trans-gender may even be a compliment these days.

We need a NAMMBA (North American Manly Man Brotherhood Association) to tell the weirdos what to do.

So basically you object to calling a queer.. a queer? What about cows and baseballs and firetrucks? Should we call them ferrets and rocks and starships just because somebody has got their little feelings hurt?

How is that, in any way, a response to this article or my comments about the same?

Yeah, some logic, right? The judge essentially ruled it was bigotry if someone objects to front page stories being run about them saying they had themselves castrated (among other things) when they didn’t and the publication knew that they didn’t...and now rules they, the victim of the intentional lies, should have to pay the publication that ran the knowingly false story.

If you’re a lumberjack that’s okay, as long as you’re dealing in literal, not figurative wood!

Always found him likeable but too squirrelly...

At least as far as I know he never imposed his political views on anyone. Might be too absorbed in pushing his business image [at least I hope it’s just an image and not an obsession] to even have political views.

I always admired Richard Simmons, he was the Liberace of the fitness industry.

His flamboyancy (which always caused me to chuckle) and associated videos lead a lot of fat people to change their life styles around and lose weight.

I hope he overcomes these media and legal assaults against him.............

It’s not wasted space to post a story about a judge punishing a victim because of his (the judge’s) support of “transgender rights.”

Well still, there was a point of swish beyond which even he didn’t want to go. That testosterone helps him not be as fat as he might otherwise be. And I wonder if he ever ventured that in his lawsuit. “Look, I’m physiologically male and never wanted anything else, and it makes perfect sense for my line of business.”

So....does this mean he had gender reassignment surgery.

I don't, you obviously did not read the article. The National Enquirer claimed that he was undergoing transgender surgery, which has been proven false..........

It's got nothing to do with being queer............

Here's from the article that you didn't read:

falsely asserting that Mr. Simmons is transitioning from a male to a female, including 'shocking sex surgery,' breast implants, hormone treatments and consultations on medical castrations,” Simmons' lawsuit stated.

The burden of proof is on the accuser - unless you support tyranny.

OK, fine... proof.
Somebody yank has drawers down and let's see.

Let the accuser yank his fruity drawers down.

Thereby putting the burden of proof on the accuser.

The devil’s in the details. Maybe Simmons didn’t even have sex.
