Whatever happened to *clutches pearls* civility?
Oh right…
Civility is reserved for the rightful aristocracy. The serfs receive the privilege of bowing and the honor of knowing their place.
I’m not that upset about a trans woman using my bathroom. I am concerned about how she got into my house.
She’s a locksmith, and she’s a locksmith.
Oxsmith?
I’ve seen so many tweets from this person (and one other is older guy who looks like Steven Spielberg) ever since Trump became president.
Who are they?
It’s JoJo from Jerz
I noticed the same thing and I know exactly who you are talking about. And I don’t know. Internet-famous Twitter people I guess
I mean, is she any less qualified than, like, Maureen Dowd, or Ezra Klein, or George Will, or any one of the dozen other lint-brained pundits that get paid thousands of dollars to write their idiotic drivel for billionaires in newspaper op-ed columns?
I don’t think I said anything other than I don’t know who they are, which isn’t a value judgement unless you assume “Internet famous” is bad
Ezra Klein is the only person I’ve heard of that you listed btw. That doesn’t mean much though
She throws a whole lot of tweets at the wall and sometimes one of them sticks.
A human with a brain?
I’m more concerned with the rapist felon running our country than men using women’s bathrooms. Women already use men’s bathrooms so…
To be fair, a person can be highly upset about Trump and uncomfortable (but much less so) about the transgender bathroom thing. Just a reminder that it’s not a binary world and people are allowed to be imperfect.
We are all aware that not all bigots love Trump.

Your question makes no sense.
When did I say you were a bigot?
When did I say I was enlightened?
I’ll say it. The poster you were responding to is a bigot. ‘Tolerance of bigotry’ is itself bigotry, as it breaks the social contract of tolerance in the same way that bigotry does. By validating bigots, you are showing the minorities they target that you accept the bigotry against them and causing the same kind of harm as the bigot did in the first place.

Yes, being tolerating bigotry makes you a bigot.

Obviously. That’s why we’re in this “bathroom” situation to begin with.
whoosh
whoosh
whoosh
That’s why they said “more upset about”. If rapists running the country isn’t an issue, than someone potentially entering the wrong shitter shouldn’t even be a topic. Just a reminder that mixed (or as I like to call em; regular) toilets exist without issue all over the world. Like since when are rapists stopped by signs? That’s some “you legally can’t steal from me” logic. It’s thinly veiled hostility towards citizens and it’s unacceptable.
I’m not even trans, I’m just sick of this obsoletely irrelevant topic. People would really much rather punch down at some toothless minority, rather than adress any serious issues.
nah actually if you’re “uncomfortable” around trans people you’re just a bigot. they just want to be left alone, and statistically speaking they are the least likely group to harm you. there’s nothing to be uncomfortable about and and anyone who says otherwise is just making excuses for thinly veiled transphobia.
Thanks, Reverend, I’m sure shaking your finger and yelling will be a great way to convert 'em.
well, rational explanations backed up with sources tends to be met with “I’m not reading that” from the people who would say trans people make them uncomfortable (and many more issues). I remember in middle school I had some shitty opinions, and people made fun of me for them. guess what, I realized pretty quick that if everyone around me thinks my opinions are shit, maybe there’s a chance I could be in the wrong here. I don’t know when we got the idea that people’s shitty opinions are somehow justified as political nuance once they hit 18, but these people have their head so in the sand they will not listen to reason, even when they are met with data showing how their viewpoints harm themselves, people around them, and people they love. this goes for more than the trans debate too, and I’m tired of people saying “oh well maybe if you’re nice to them!”. if you preach hate, expect hate.

you wouldn’t say you feel uncomfortable around disabled people or a specific race or gay people. why is it different when trans people are the target minority? I just fail to see the logic and I guess I’m just annoyed that I see me and my friends very existence being debated every time I go online.
Wow this surely will get them to change their views and votes! Why has no one thought of this before!

There is no Biden cult; most dems and leftists fucking hate him.
Got a source for the molestation? First I’ve heard of it. I remember some flimsy story from some other woman that ended up being completely unsubstantiated.
What is defending a politician committing a genocide, if not cult behavior?
The Ashley Biden diary is the most recent example of a blanket media blackout, a July 2019 excerpt going viral two weeks ago. Read this and defend it as non-newsworthy:
“Was I molested,” the author writes. “I think so — I can’t remember specifics but I do remember trauma. Hyper-sexualized @ a young age . . . I remember being somewhat sexualized with Caroline; I remember having sex with friends @ a young age; showers w/my dad (probably not appropriate).”Amidst zero people defend the genocide, hence the part where I pointed out that most people hate him. Are you fucking stupid or something? Do you think that turning every conversation about literally everything into a conversation about Gaza will do absolutely anything about the situation at all?
Everybody knows it’s horrific. Everybody hates it. I hate it. I can’t fucking stop it, voting for, or supporting, either party wasn’t going to fix it (though one side campaigned on turbo charging it, which still makes them the objectively worse choice ethically and morally), so all I can do is focus on the other things that could change and be better.
I’m so fucking tired of you morons derailing every conversation to tell us everything we already know because you’re too stupid to understand that other things still exist.
UN experts report Netanyahu and the Biden admin are on track to eradicate 95% of the Gaza population. It is the most important thing happening in the world right now.
If talking about it didn’t do any good, they wouldn’t be spending so much time and money trying to convince us to stop talking about it.
It’s cute that you don’t want anyone to remember this, but I remember it:
https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240628-trump-let-israel-finish-the-job-in-gaza/
I remember it, too. What’s your point?
Again, with the current situation under Biden, UN experts project eradication of the population.
The problem is you neoliberals think words are equal to actions. Trump using harsher language doesn’t make Biden’s actions any different.
“Trump uses harsher language, therefore he won’t be responsible for genocide” is a weird argument.
What is defending a politician committing a genocide, if not cult behavior?
It’s people having a different opinion of events than you do. A cult is more like when your group thinks it’s clearly, obviously, inarguably wrong not to see everything through your lens. That’s a cult.
You mean like believing amnesty international, the UN, Doctors Without Borders, and the ICC are wrong about genocide? That kind of “different opinion?”
No I mean realizing the world isn’t a meme. For example not everybody would think buying a box of screws from Home Depot is genocide because the CEO is pro-Israel.
Sending bombs to arm a genocide, in violation of both international & domestic laws, is in fact committing genocide.
Actually “in fact” and “one way to look at it” are different, and I’m done with this so go ahead and have the last word and award yourself internet moral victory points.
