Factually incorrect and you failed to answer my question. Why?

Wrong.

You’ve don’t know any trans people or what the process is like do ya?

Hence why you fear them so much.

Wrong.

Hence why you fear them so much.

And you are wrong on claiming factually incorrect on the statement that a man pretending to be a woman is still a man, and vice versa,

No, I don‘t personally know any mentally ill people.

Wrong I don‘t fear them just don‘t associate with them.

‘A new level of anger’: Domestic Terrorists disrupt worship, protest at Orlando churches

“They actually came inside our sanctuary and spewed hate from our safe space,” said Steed Pierce.

Weirdos. It’s not enough that people have differences. No we need to protest that fact all over social media in the halls of Congress and attack those who present zero harm to us or our rights.

The culture of liking the smell of your own brand. This bleeds over into many of the policy changes TrumpMusk is pushing for. They don’t understand how things work.

LAST WEEK, THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES held its fifth hearing about a lie.

I was called as the sole minority witness in the latest installment of this particular right-wing fever dream, what the Republican majority on a subcommittee of the House Foreign Affairs Committee called the “Censorship-Industrial Complex: The Need for First Amendment Safeguards at the State Department.” Based on that title, you might think the hearing would investigate the cases of foreign students who have recently been arrested and had their visas revoked because they deigned to use their rights to free expression. But no, the Republicans weren’t there to talk about the ongoing assault on our Constitution. Instead, they wanted to talk about made-up stuff.

For the past four years, the Republican party has engaged in obsessive mythmaking about supposed collusion by Democrats, disinformation researchers, and the social media industry to suppress conservative viewpoints online. Reputable journalists have punctured holes in this narrative, showing how it is based on distortion and exaggeration. Academics, too, have looked into the question and found not a vast conspiracy aimed at censoring conservatives but a clear imbalance: right-wing users simply break social media platforms’ rules more frequently.

These hearings have no real analytical or fact-finding purpose, but House Republicans have created an entire fictional universe around them, comprising two investigations, dozens of transcribed interviews and depositions, and subpoenas for reams of documents and emails from research institutions around the country. These actions have formed the basis of frivolous lawsuits and smear campaigns of which institutions large and small have struggled to bear the burden.

If that sounds to you like modern-day McCarthyism, it’s because it is. Like McCarthy’s anti-Communist crusade, Republican pursuit of the censorship lie is political theater is high on fantasy and low on facts. Still, it has had dire consequences; disinformation researchers have faced threats, harassment, and declining funding as a result.

I told the subcommittee, “Mr. Taibbi said . . . he didn’t know what he was looking at. Well, he still doesn’t. Everything’s a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.”

At age 3, child assigned male at birth picked a girl’s name and clothing. What did these parents do?

“If somebody is expressing something to you clearly and consistently, especially as a parent, you have two choices: Either you try to beat it out of them, or [you] accept them where they are,” says Joanna, a 34-year-old who works in tech in Brooklyn, who remembers suppressing feelings of gender dysphoria as early as 8 years old.

But can a preschooler really have that level of understanding when it comes to their gender identity? While some may be skeptical, Dr. Michele Hutchison, a pediatric endocrinologist at the University of New Mexico, who has treated around 600 transgender youth, says she’s seen patients like Daisy before. “I’d say a good 30% of my patients are very solid about their gender by the time they can speak,” Hutchison, who started treating trans kids in Arkansas in 2017, told Uncloseted Media.

My nephew is fabulously gay. One of the funniest, yet kindest people I know. He’s been gay since he could speak. Barbie’s and girls decorations were his jam from the time he could talk.

It’s a spectrum with wide possibilities of identification and sexual attraction.

Who am I to judge?

A mom complained about a trans girl using the locker room. Hundreds turned out to support her

Beyond Illinois state law, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2020 that federal laws protecting against sex discrimination in employment, including Title VII, encompass gender identity. Donald Trump's executive orders against trans students, which are being challenged in courts, are not law.

Schroeder also noted that no one is "forced" to change in front of others regardless of gender, as "all students also have multiple options to change in a private location separate from the locker room if they wish."

"We are sensitive to the privacy needs of all our middle school students and ensure that no student is required to change into a gym uniform for physical education class in front of others," Schroeder continued. "When both our middle schools were renovated in 2017, we added five private changing stations within each locker room that are available to all students."

Deerfield Public Schools District 109 held its first board meeting since becoming subject to the Education Department's investigation Thursday night. The meeting was attended by a local chapter of Moms For Liberty, a designated extremist hate group, which was drowned out by hundreds of community members who showed up to support the young trans girl.

Having ties to the Naval Academy now, this is embarrassing and not something we should be proud of - books are books and virtually none of the ones pulled from the shelves should've been pulled from the shelves. Also with that said, static libraries are beginning to be a thing of the past - all of these books are still available to midshipmen, and now they have a list of books they can choose to look up and pursue if they wanted to. But again, running away from ideas you don't like or agree with is academic cowardice.

‘Assigned male at birth‘. Translation: Long winded new liberal speak for ‘boy‘.

Fake news? So it didn't happen? Can you prove that it's fake or are you just following trump's lead and making baseless accusations that you can't prove?

Any outlet/site that MAQA yahoos disagree with is in their opinion a "lefty rag" that should be disregarded regardless of the veracity of their articles/information. Why are MAQA yahoos such sensitive little snowflakes who fear opposing points more than Punxsutawney Phil fears his shadow?

Narrative: Black community leader kiIIed by police on the highway. Body and cruiser cams tell a different story.

I believe this officer held back out of fear of being BLM’d. More scared of the backlash than the threat in front of him. Should have shot the guy after the taser didn‘t work. Instead he allowed the perp to overpower him, steal his cruiser, putting numerous lives at risk. Perp ended up dead anyway.
