Honestly just let people have their own opinion as long as they don't really fight. Remember that your opinions were suppressed in the past and that now you're basically becoming exactly what the governments were at the time.

On the matter of access to such medication for kids, hell no. Everyone knows kids aren't mature adults and they make stupid decisions. Some may try it because of curiosity, lack of knowledge or even as an act of rebellion against parents/guardians. And that will result at least in loss of fertility. Where did the "adults should protect children" go? Are we only protecting them from predators now? Then might as well let them drink alcohol and buy antipsychotics without prescription.

Btw a mandatory medical examination and a lecture from the doctor about the risks would be nice before making such a decision. Privacy concerns are there but physical safety first imo.

All of the above is obviously my personal opinions.

Pretty sure he did that on purpose so he can tell the public how awful and disgusting he thinks Bluesky is in the future.

it's going well.

also lol'ing at the fact that he's jd-vance-1 because jd-vance was taken by a parody account which has a big banner reading "I did not fuck a couch".

fyi he didn't get banned; https://bsky.app/profile/jd-vance-1.bsky.social

i do recommend this moderation list as he's already on it: https://bsky.app/profile/randomvariable.co.uk/lists/3kc2e7efqqw2k

He should join one of the tankie Lemmy instances for a real choice treatment. That would be fun for to watch for 5 minutes

Do you think JD understands the irony that posting an exerpt from Justice Thomas that is against appealing to the authority of "experts", is, in itself, in fact appealing to the authority of an "expert", Justice Thomas, to support his stance? His stance of course being that medical treatment of minors with gender dysphoria in a way that does anything but reinforce the gender on their birth certificate is bad medicine/science. And both Vance and Justice Thomas also, being... I see here "not experts in anything remotely to do with medical science, gender dysphoria, adolescent development, or any field at all that would inform any semblance of a valid opinion on the matter of how to properly treat these kids medically" might, in fact, make their stance a little bit non-authoritative. Maybe both of them should stay in their lanes of bad faith partisan political theatre, bribery, and forcing the sprint we are all on towards fascism. That seems to be where their real skill sets are.

He’s not wrong about medical companies influencing patient care. He’s just wrong about who and why.

Imagine thinking that one Clarence Thomas is less corrupt than thousands of doctors.

He could join one of the Nazi mastodon instances, although I bet he is already on his boss’.

Apparently, they reinstated it saying they just wanted to confirm it was really him before fully activating it.

his account is still active. just checked. this post is also still up.

"hello fellow humans, im trying to communicate with humanity"- JD vance.

BIG PHARMA MAKIN THE KIDS CUT THEY DICKS OFF

god republicans are stupid. So fucking stupid.

Is Justice Thomas a doctor or a scientist? No?

Then who gives a shit what his opinion is. He should be listening to the experts...not contradicting them. If his ruling is based solely on his personal feelings on this topic, then he needs to recuse himself from this case.

This looks like some good sealioning. He probably didn’t write it himself. I think he was playing to his fans and trying to discredit Bluesky and its community guidelines. I wonder if Musk paid him, or if he did this on his own.

Isn't Truth Social available for people like him?

Talking about the highlighted part of Thomas's statement. They're enshrining anti-intellectualism into court rulings

The biggest delusion in modern society is thinking that a Twitter-like social media network is "the place to go for common sense political discussion and analysis".

I keep hearing the media repeat this bullshit. Twitter is not and never was the "public square". It's a place for morons to be morons and heart each other for being morons.

The account was banned, and then reinstated after being verified.

His first posts didn't get him banned.

Stay classy, MAGA. You don't give two shits about your country, you actually did steal an election, and the backwash is coming.

"Bad arguments and substandard science" - AKA, this administration's unofficial motto.

Make a new account, immediately start spewing unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, get banned

I gotta say, I am liking blue sky so far

Those posts read like chatgpt.

James Donald Bowman is a disgrace, a pox on humanity.

And I will use the name he hates against him in every thread I can.

Isn't he happy with his Truth Social account?

And this is the point where he playbooks "i was just asking questions i was just being reasonable why are you so mean unreasonable leftist echo chamber etcetc"

Which only works when people let it. A swift "you started ranting crazy bullshit" is what is needed here.

Says can’t trust experts because they are clouded by ideology and bribed by industry quotes an judicial expert who’s entire job is to inject right wing ideology into the judicial branch while being motivated by bribes.
