I wish the conservative echo chamber could get their message straight.

Just yesterday they were saying that Liberals want to control everyone and take away everyone's freedom with oppressive rules and standards.

Liberals think that there should be no rules or standards in anything and nothing should be sacred.

Weren't you just upset because you thought liberals were banning racist dr Seuss books?

That's what I mean by no standards and they're just upset and offended by whatever is convenient to play the victim at the moment.

Well there is the problem.  That is not what anyone else means by "no standards" when a book is supposedly banned because of a set standard.  If liberals had "no standards" then they would not ban anything.

I understand what you're trying to say, but in the last week:

You've criticized a business for trying to reduce racism and criticized "the left" for trying to be more inclusive to transgender people. It comes off as: racism is acceptable because the left is against it and transgender rights aren't acceptable because the left is for them.

Which I don't think is your intent.


Personally, I miss the old gop that was like 'do your thing as long as it doesn't stop me from doing my thing.'

Me too.  I think that kind of libertarianism has, unfairly, really been dragged through the mud of late.  However, on that point, I would say that allowing a biological male to compete in women's sports, especially at an age where the hormone treatments could not have yet erased a biological advantage, absolutely affects the women being competed against and stops them from "doing their thing".

Lastly, because this needs to be said in this day and age, I don't harbor any ill will towards transgender people of any stripe, just pointing out how, in this instance, they are affecting other people in a potentially negative fashion.

Anyone heard about this transphobic nonsense?



Fits right in on this thread.

And yeah, I've been seeing this on social media. It is actually a thing some trolls are trying to get going.

Edit to add: the problematic part of it all is that the messaging is that they only like "real" men or women, thus trying to dismiss the trans identity.

That's kind of a nauseating take.
