How would that even be possible? Can't commit to one definition without excluding someone. I doubt people are up in arms over nobody being banned. Wasn't asking your permission. Random fucking non-sequitor.
Denying the demands of entitled people isn't fear or hatred. Redefining terms like "decency" to mean "you must do what we want at all times or you are a big meanie" is meaningless bullshittery.
Oh, definitely. That's why I tend to equate Evangelical Fundamentalist Christianity with Scientology, though at least Scientology is more up front about how much money it wants from you. Christian Nationalists want power, they worship power, and they will lie to you while they pick your pocket and prepare to stab you in the back for the trouble. This is why they love Trump, he's the avatar of their greed and lust for more power.
Every day you get dumber and dumber. 1) I don't even know what you're talking about with your definitions. Let me spell it out as simply as I can for your pea brain. You. Do. Not. Have. Any. Data. To. Prove. Trans. Soldiers. Hinder. The. Armed. Forces. So you lose your argument right there. 2) I'm not asking your permission. Blanket discrimination like you are endorsing is illegal in the workplace. 3) do you even know what "non sequitur" means? Do you know what language it is? Latin for "not in sequence". But my argument is in sequence, because by your logic, men are statistically more of a detriment to the armed forces than any trans soldier. So therefore we should get rid of all the men.
No one's more entitled than the billionaire class. But when the left protests them, you simp for them.
You are one of the most entitled people on this board. UA: "Respect the skills my job requires! Don't force me to conform to your societal rules! You have no right to regulate my gun ownership! You have no right to tell me I shouldn't purposely offend people! You need to get rid of books i think are harmful to your children" Trans people on this board: "my preferred pronouns are she/her". UA: You can't make me call you that! Fuck you!!!
When I was a dumb little 26 year old, guys like Al throwing their thesaurus words around sounded brilliant. I take it as a sign of my growth I've left these meatheads in the dust.
More, and worse, than that: they are convinced they are divinely entitled to it. There's a quote that goes something like "No man is more happy to do evil than the one who's convinced he's doing it for god"
Indeed, one of the reasons why Christian Nationalism dovetails so well into white supremacy and fascism. They all fucking think they're king shit because they happened to be born with the "right" skin color and the "right" genitals. Their idea of meritocracy is being white and straight. Anyone who isn't white and straight who has anything good in life got it because someone felt sorry for them and gave it to them despite their lack of "qualifications." That's it, that's the whole ball game for these fuckers, and they want to rule the world on that principle.
Over on Bluesky, someone posted a good overview of what has been happening (most of it documented in this very thread). If the image doesn't show, or you need ALT text: 4 months today since Trump took office, and trans people in America: - can't have federal jobs. - have been erased from websites, histories, studies, and documents. - have seen twisted versions of our history written. - are no longer protected from harassment & discrimination in the workplace. - can't get accurate passports. - can no longer play sports in most states. - can't be in the armed forces or intelligence. - will not be able to vote in most states in the mid-terms. - banned from using the correct bathrooms in all federal buildings, facilities, and parks nationwide. This month, the Trump regime is working on: - banning Medicaid from covering trans youth healthcare nationwide. - the HHS moving to ban all trans healthcare. - the HHS creating an autism registry and DOGE accessing private medical records for all Americans nationwide. Soon, maybe as early as next month: - the Trump regime will require all private companies to purge diversity and enforce anti-trans measures in order to keep their federal contracts. - KOSA would shut down all LGBTQ content online. - IODA would make being trans in public "obscene" and illegal.
I never claimed they did, you lying asshammer. I'm not discriminating. My "offense" is treating everyone the same. "Are they deployable or not" is inclusive. By your willful and dishonest distortion of my logic, similar on a superficial level that allows you to prance off like you've accomplished something. Not useful for much else. I never said anything about sexual assault, and you can keep your fantasies to yourself.
Or just don't lie by claiming it requires none. Not if your rules go beyond "your right to swing your fist ends at my face." You personally don't, and that's what chaps your ass. Free speech is not reserved for people you like, saying only things you agree with. It is EXPLICITLY the right to offend. A lie perpetrated by creepy fucks who want to undermine parental rights. It's true, they can't. Most people understand that these things cannot be compelled.
You claim I'm distorting your logic, but that's impossible because you have none. You are claiming trans people should be booted from the military. You brought up vaginal dilation as a reason. Why? Since you are clearly admitting you have no evidence of that being an issue in the armed forces whatsoever. And that's your biggest problem with you as a person in general. You have opinions, and boy howdy you love to express them, but you never, never bother to actually educate yourself about them. And that's been proven time and time and time again. So it's the same thing here. You fucking hate trans people, for who knows what reason. So you're happy to see them get railroaded out of the armed curves. But, you are at least ashamed enough to want to provide a reason beyond pure bigotry. So you bleat out, "Well, they need all this extra care! Vaginal dilation, hormones, blah blah blah". But, when asked? You admit you have no evidence that's ever been an issue. So, trans in the military, Albert. Why are you really opposed to it?
Science tidbit: If you say "lying asshammer" enough times, your opponent spontaneously combusts into a hockey puck of compressed ash. The amount of times you need to use, however, fluctuates on a sort of stock market in Wizardland. It's true. The naughty kid on the playground who smokes told me. He knows everything.
I just wanted to highlight this, because I'm tired of your Woody Allen insinuations on this issue. By your own admission on this board, you met your wife when you were 18 and she was (at a minimum) 15. Possibly 14. So, Mr. Baby's First Blowjob, Mr. Parental Rights, Mr. Teens-Can't-Handle-Genderqueer, aren't you exactly the kind of creep that you're claiming we need to protect these kids from? Or have you had a change of heart since your child bride divorced you?
So, nothing to say to this one, eh Albert? No witty repartee? No accusations of me being a lying assbag or whatever? You got nothing? Well, let me ask you a different question then: Was your wife of age the first time you made her give you a blowjob? Was she experienced by then, or were you her "Baby's First Blowjob"?
So, guys, I think I found Albert's kryptonite. Since I brought up his history of child grooming, he's been persona non grate in this thread. One that he posts in every. Single. Day. This is the longest he's gone without posting here on a weekday in, I dunno how long. Fingers crossed, huh?
I don't know why he's here so much anyway, he's not trans and he's not interested in trans rights, but then why did Graham Linehan become a fucking nutter butter in his crusade against trans people? Why does JK Rowling hate them so much she can't leave them alone? All we want to do is exist without being condemned for it, to live the same boring (but loving!) lives that everyone else gets to live without qualification. Maybe he'll stay away and we can talk about things affecting us in peace without a living embodiment of the bigotry thrown our way having to chime in all the time?
No!! No!! Noooo!! It's not that!! It can never be that!!! It's a conspiracy!! You want all the Lucky Charms!! I've devoted myself to this conspiracy!! It's sunk cost fallacy!! I have to ride it to the death!! I HAVE to!!!
Well, we know they never learn. Graham, for example, is actively losing a court battle over this shit and is still doing it, making his own case against him. JK Rowling openly and smugly talks about her money is proof people hate trans people, and not because they happen to like a series of books she wrote. Even as cis people push back against these people to tell them how wrong they are, that trans people are people, that they deserve human rights like anyone else, these insular xenophobes dive deeper into their mania. Put it this way: there are actual, honest to god conservatives saying "hey, maybe you all are going too far against trans people?" so how unhinged are these people becoming? It's incredible to watch. Edit: By the way, sorry to add right after I post, but my brain is like "I wasn't finished."
Rowling led the charge in mis-gendering Imane Khelif, a cis woman (and Dawkins and all her TERF buddies followed obediently), so it's not like they even believe in their precious cause. As sick if it would be if they did. But no, they're fraudulent on top of it all. My amateur head-shrink of it; it's nerds discovering the joys of bullying. We've seen it right here with Tamar and her cronies.
Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," if it passes the Senate as is, will end ALL transgender healthcare coverage, not just for Medicare or Medicaid.

Not that it should matter in the grand scheme, but Madison Packer is a cisgender woman. This will not stop at trans women.

Nor is it intended to. Madison Packer doesn't perform femininity in a way that makes conservative men's dicks get hard. And because the only purpose of women in their world is to be cock receptacles and baby incubators, she must be punished.
Exactly right. The shit I have to hear at the market every weekend from old men who talk about the very rare lesbians I see pass through every so often, almost always from out of town or out of state, it makes me sick. If they're not attractive, you get comments like "she'd have been better off marrying a man," and if they are attractive, then "she needs a good dick to turn her back," and so on. All women are to these assholes is breeding stock, and anyone who doesn't want a man to violate her peace of mind and personal space is a "waste of good pussy." I've heard that one more than once, and it never fails to make my blood boil.
America has this intuition that old people are always wise. No, we've got a lot of dumb muthafuckas. George Carlin in one of his audiobooks nailed it with the line "these are just elderly versions of the same mediocre people they always were".
Absolutely. Some of the dumbest people I've ever met were old. I've never understood how willing people are to cut old people slack for being racist. "That's just how things were in their time." No, racism was still wrong when they were young, and they lived through the Civil Rights Era all the way up to the present. No fucking excuse.
