    The second someone forces a kid to meddle with their physiology, let me know.
    Of course, I include circumcision in that definition.
    It's about freedom of choice. It's always been that. I would think you, of all people, would understand that at least, but I've seen you're much more of a "my way or else" kind of guy.

    Freedom of choice includes declining to participate in any way in your fairy tales, be they religion or "gender ideology." If you rule one out, you rule out the other.

    I'm not sure how that is in any way a response to this:
    "If you want the freedom to meddle with their physiology 'because feelings,' they can shove religion and family business at them as well"
    I says no one is forcing a meddling of physiology on anyone, despite what you said.
    And, once again, you don't really have a coherent response to that.

    You forget. In Albertland, nobody realizes they are transgender naturally. They are "turned" when a pink-haired teacher with a pierced septum grabs little Sally out of third-grade homeroom and bellows "SALLY, YOU ARE A BOY NOW!" and forces her to get a buzzcut.

    Which, ironically, is exactly the kind of "fairy tale" that UA grinds his teeth against.
    But it's aimed at people he finds icky, and comes from people disguised like his tribal fashion sense, so it just must be true.

    Unless parents refuse to "trans" their kid.

    But I'm sure you've got some double standard rationalizing ready for that. :rolleyes:

    From the Indiana AG. The same one trying to sue doctors for giving 12-year-old rape victims abortion access. So, highly unlikely to side with trans issues.

    Try reading next time. You fucking idiot.

    The Maverick ranges from $24k to about $36k usd. Yeah it's small, but it can handle a big percentage of the jobs a pickup might be need for. :spock:

    Press release from the union that represents employees of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau:

    On the evening of February 6, three minions of professional Twitter poster and Jeffrey Epstein confidant Elon Musk appeared in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) internal staff directory.

    The three underlings are Chris Young, a lobbyist for Big Pharma and past field organizer for former Gov. Bobby Jindal, and Elon fanboys Nikhil Rajpal and Gavin Kliger. Rajpal led a libertarian students group at public land-grant university UC Berkeley, and worked at auto-lender Tesla and wannabe-payment-processor Twitter. Kliger interned at Twitter, claims he owns a Tesla, and graduated from UC Berkeley in 2020. When he's not stealing Americans' private information with DOGE, Kliger enjoys writing lengthy essays defending rapists and retweeting white supremacists. Kliger's lawyer daddy works at Experian which is the same company CFPB sued in January for covering up errors on credit reports with sham investigations. While alleged coder Kliger made between zero to three git commits in the last year, workers at the CFPB returned $1.3 billion to scammed Americans in that time.

    The unelected Musk recently announced plans for a new payments platform run jointly by Visa and “X” (formerly Twitter). Now, he’s moved his power grab to the CFPB, in a clear attempt to attack union workers and defang the only agency that checks the greed of payment providers, as well as auto lenders like Tesla.

    CFPB Union members welcome our newest colleagues and look forward to the smell of Axe Body Spray in our elevators. While Acting Director Bessent allows Musk's operatives to bypass cybersecurity policies and wreak havoc with their amateur code skills inside CFPB's once-secure systems, CFPB Union members fight to protect our jobs so we can continue protecting Americans from scammers with conflicts of interest like Musk.

    The National Treasury Employees Union organizes federal employees to work together to ensure that every federal employee is treated with dignity and respect. CFPB Union NTEU Chapter 335 was chartered to represent employees at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). CFPB workers have returned over $20 billion to millions of American consumers who've been preyed upon by greedy hucksters like Musk.

    They never actually read the articles because that isn’t how they ‘learn’ these things.

    They get fed stories from rage bait YouTubers and when called out Google and grab the first couple hits that look like they are close.

    Then when we actually do read the articles and point out they don’t say what they think they do they slink away and find something new to be enraged about, until this topic comes up again and they pretend to not remember.

    It’s why I stopped interacting with them. They are so far gone they are incapable of learning or acting in good faith.

    Safe to say George Carlin, Carol Burnette, Lucille Ball, and Tina Fey wouldn't have gotten their Mark Twain prizes on his watch.

    It's true, the minute my wife dyed her hair and pierced her septum the town was inundated with transitioning children. And she's not even a teacher.
