Probably fitting. Babbling leftists have thrown that word around so much its lost all meaning as well.

They don’t like to admit the side they are championing is a bunch of beheading rapists that also lie from time-to-time.

“For the crime of cheering legitimate terrorists, blah blah clever horseshit”

You people continue to gloss over that on one side of this conflict is a proud terrorist org who, as a matter of practice, rapes, kidnaps and otherwise specifically targets civilians for harm in order to enact their worldview.

All of these middle-to-upper class lefties protesting on campuses would get a knife up the anus if they were caught in Hamas territory. They don’t care if you’re cheering them on from across an ocean, they still hate you and would rather you suffer and die, because you don’t fit with their religious view.

I still feel bad for the Palestinian people and separate them from their Hamas government, as it’s obvious Hamas doesn’t care about their charge, and is using them for political capital.

Calling Jews nazis, and saying Israel should be nuked, yet I’m the one getting banned from communities all over the site for saying leftists have lost their fucking minds over this conflict.

Their strategy is being performative, whiny shits for tiktok videos. They have no clue what they’re talking about, or the context for the current situation. Just more terminally online lefties that would rather camp out than go to class.

The nation was already discussing Israel-Palestine, these people are just being self-indulgent and making it about themselves. They don’t give a shit about Palestinians unless it’s trending.

TLDR: It’s gas deposits, not Martian spiders… yet.

I honestly don’t know how I feel about this. If my kid (which I do have one) was trying to pass as another gender in school, but not home, I would want to know. It’s generally not good for kids to keep big secrets like this from the people looking out for them. That’s how they end up getting in to trouble in life.

At the same time, I’m not the kind of parent that wouldn’t support my kid through such an issue. I understand it could be dangerous for some kids to be outted to their parents, but I don’t know that we should be governing based on the worst possible outcomes, when keeping the secret could also be dangerous to some.

It is telling to me that most of the supporters that showed up had no skin in the game. I don’t think this specific issue is as cut-and-dry as it appears at first. My mind has certainly changed on it the more I think about it.

Do you think it’s appropriate to run around with fireworks in the middle of an armed conflict?

Especially if it’s what you idealistic, online types say and it’s a “genocide” and an “apartheid state”, do you really see any other way this would end?

I’ve always been sympathetic toward Trans people, but cases like this really illustrate how shitty it can be to just exist while Trans in America.

With most “minorities” there are still so many of them in any given community that it’s hard or pointless to single any one out for hate. But with a Trans person you can call them out by name because they rarely have anonymity within a local collective.

Like, this person was working a cool job, probably proud of themselves, helping kids and enjoying life. Now they’re being called out by elected State officials and online random. Being called a pedo and a freak… I can’t imagine what that does to a person.

Now let’s find all the quotes from these people railing about “Cancel Culture”.

That man was never sending his kids to space camp. He just decided to doxx the only known trans person within 100 miles of his home.

Hopefully the organization doesn’t cave and backs their employee.

You’re mostly comparing legal and financial ramifications to self-identity. I trust a teenager more to tell me who they are than to pay back a car loan.

From the little research I’ve done, puberty-blockers don’t have long-term effects and most kids aren’t on them more than a few years. This is widely agreed upon in the medical community. There is non-biased research done on this for decades you can read up on.

Yes, being a teenager is weird and confusing. Even more so, if you feel like you live in the wrong body, I imagine. That’s the exact reason puberty blockers are effective, by giving a teen a little more time to figure out their identity, without it being rushed or compounded by the effects of puberty.

Distracting from the rest of their circus.

They refused to participate in the Jan. 6 investigation and hearings four years ago. There’s no way this isn’t a sham, and they know it.
