Transgender is “wrong” and “immoral” yet all these republicans are crooks, fraudster, adulterers, hidden closeted gays, and support and back the worlds largest pedophile on the planet with the nuclear codes.
But yeah, letting a man grow boobs is the problem here.
Men should be allowed to grow boobs if they want.
But the point of being a trans woman is that you're not a man.
None of that matters to a kid. To them it's just a person being a person, wearing person clothes, and doing person things.
I read it charitably as someone born with a male body wanting grow boobs...
But sometimes a pithier statement, though technically less correct, does more work.
I can excuse wanting to fuck children...but I draw the line at giving them puberty blockers. /s
Don’t forget that Republicans like Rafael Cruz don’t have to use the name on their birth certificate, or that most Republican politicians have had gender affirming care like hair plugs and testosterone.
Because when Republicans are "crooks" they are hurting the right people. So it makes it okay.
Conservatism has always been about oppression. It's not about small government or even protecting the kids.
It's oppression.
yeah no fuck you. transgender rights are not about "men growing boobs."
It's almost like trans people were a literal non-issue until conservatives made it their issue. It's the Streisand Effect to the max. Just let trans people live their damn lives
That poor Leopard is going to die of over consumption.
Correct-- If republicans stopped stripping them of their rights and loudly demanding to see the genitals of every highschooler, there would be basically no problems. It's called manufactured outrage, and it's how They(tm) control the masses.
I live in TX. The Telerico ads are a mix of how shitty ken paxton is as a person and his policies. All the Paxton ads are Trans gender is a huge problem (bc i can't stop masterbating to the porn).
Just saw another add where he has his daughter stumping for him against Trans people. Something I learned from it... the weird eye is hereditary
This reminds me of the Biden Administration, who was trying desperately to control immigration, and declaring that they did NOT support open borders, while the entire time, MAGAs were screaming "BIDEN HAS OPEN BORDERS! THEY'RE LETTING EVERYBODY IN!" every chance they got.
If people below our southern borders got the idea that they were welcome to come to America, it wasn't the Biden Administration that invited them, it was MAGA. Nobody was sending the message that undocumented immigrants were welcome in America more strongly than MAGA.
The other day, elementary age kids received pamphlets in the mail explaining all about being trans, thinking it would turn people against the trans community. It probably will, but it also taught a lot of kids how to hide being trans from your conservative parents, and that pamphlet was almost certainly a MAGA October Campaign Dirty Trick. Now we also know that it was almost certainly conceived, created, and paid for by Elon Musk. Of course it is, it smells just like him.
Just goes to show whoever's screaming the loudest the most wins with the dumbest people. Which is why more politicians need to realize that they need to constantly and aggressively keep repeating their messages and any and every win they have. Like Mamdani has been in New York.
He’s so close to getting it. Yet so far away.
It irritates me especially when I don't want to explain what they're talking about to my children.
Crazy, maybe if we taught about this stuff in school then it wouldn't be so fucking confusing.
Oh, right.. Texas.
Litterally why I started to pay for Youtube Premium last election cycle. "Daddy why does want to kill babies?"
Started playing music over bluetoon in the car to avoid the same ads on the radio.
It took lots of effort to get rid of them, but I see almost no ads anymore. Not on the internet, not YouTube on my phone or in my TV shows or when I’m listening to music. I’m practically allergic to them. Now when I catch an ad that made it past me, it gets a physical reaction from me from just how FUCKING LOUD everything is all the time. And not just volume, but audio compression, colors, camera angles, costumes, set pieces, all of it. It’s a goddamn assault. They all just want their little piece of your time.
Obligatory Bansky quote
People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you. You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity. Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head. You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.
It's why I allow very little screen time for my kids. I can't control the fucking ads. They are a part of the brain rot.
I think limiting screen time is great, tablet babies weird me out. But if/when the time comes where they need to be online more, consider helping them set up an adblocker on everything they use. Everyone hates ads including kids. They'd probably think you're awesome for it.
Why not just use an ad blocker or third party program?
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
Those were the easy times. One boogyman. Here, in addition to us being decentralised, so is spez.
Is lemmy still jerking itself off over not being reddit yet perpetuating many of its tendencies? I guess I should not be surprised. Same regret, different place
It's almost like we should keep government out of our lives unless there is a good reason.
What I thought was a conservative value when I was growing up.
That’s how wedge issues work. Take an issue that most people didn’t have opinions on one way or another and beat opinions into their heads until they forget how it used to be something people just let live. When a party can’t sway people on bigger issues, they create some new ones. Then you end up with people whose whole ticket is filled depending on how a candidate feels about this ONE issue.
Parenting comes with so many teachable moments. This is just another one.
You've got many more tough conversations in your future. Unless you suddenly don't have a kid.
Wow what a fucking asshole
Can't have your kids learning about counterculture on the off chance they self-actualize instead of becoming your legacy.
When much of one's political ideology is based off of manufactured outrage over the mere existence of a people group making up .01% of the population, they deserve all this stupid kind of bullshit that follows.
It’s almost like a progressive wrote this, in order to change minds in that sub. But I don’t think so. Which makes this super ironic.
I sometimes wonder if accounts like The Patriotic Blonde aren't out to subvert conservatives. It's exactly how I would do it!
Sometimes while drinking I'd start a new reddit account and post some daily mail articles to try to build karma with the goal of eventually infiltrating their sub and subtly propagandizing them away from fascism with posts similar to this, but it just seemed so soul sucking that I could never put in the effort to follow through once I sobered up.
It's so fucking funny that they still have that billionaire bought failed bullet dodger all gums fucker as their icon on that sub.
Conservatism should be illegal.
While the leopards munch face, Red State America thank their zombie god for Dear Leader. He kept trans people out of public johns.
