Fuck buc-ees
I read that as fondle of music theater. Love it.
I need to play devil's advocate here. I need to preface with I agree with what you're saying, but from my experience as a cis male, every year I was in sports starting in 7th grade, I had to get a physical where a doctor would touch my balls and shove their figures up where they dropped checking for hernias when I coughed.
If every athlete has to go through that same exam, it's going to be pretty obvious if someone has male genitalia. I don't think that a doctor should be required to or be legally able to speak on the makeup of someone's genitals, but I also am not sure on how this is handled if it's enforced legally.
Again, I agree that this is bad policy and anti trans, and I disagree with it.
For sure. Definitely build the case for everyone and charge those that have enough evidence when possible. That will likely mean the grunts will get nailed first, and hopefully those cases can be used to take down the bigger players.
I literally pointed out that it's possible to condemn using slurs while focusing on other issues. When fighting for trans health rights, a person can also call out someone for throwing out slurs as part of their fight. Nobody here is saying that the rhetoric has to be battled specifically and separately. It absolutely should be a part of the overall fight.
People that hate being told that they can't use slurs can fuck right off. Eventually, those people will be ostracized for being the shit they are. How often do you see politicians dropping n-bombs and of those times, how many of them were just accepted as using acceptable language? That language once upon a time was socially acceptable, but because there was a concerted effort to change that, it's no longer something people get away with without social consequences. Slurs against trans is the next iteration of that.
It's just wild to me how gung-ho you are about defending the use of slurs and not condemning it.
Better than just accepting it and actively arguing against fighting it.
It's not defamation if it's true.
There's enough lawyers to go after both and more.
You do know that it's possible to both call out and condemn a person for their hate speech AND work on legislation, right? It's not like dem reps are just sitting in their offices all day devoting all their effort to this single issue.
You being so against Dems fighting hate rhetoric really paints a picture of your character.
The diver pedophile situation was the big turning point for me. I wouldn't say I was a fan boy or anything, but I certainly didn't think he was the scum of the Earth. Then like a light switch, he because a shittier, more evil Montgomery Burns.
I never expect to have the same relationships we had, but I do hope that we can at leastend some of the damage. Long term, the EU and Canada will be stronger because of this, but I hope we can be amicable and respectable at some point and just have a healthy relationship with our neighbors and once allies.
I've never been happy when red states as a whole get hit with any tragedy. I do however, not give a shit when a see someone who willfully voted for something that's ended in a negative outcome they're receiving.
When individuals get their comeuppance, then that's just consequences. It's the innocent bystanders that I feel for.
