No I'm 'giving him ****' (re: disagreeing) for expressing views I think are harmful. Being honest doesn't supersede that. Honesty doesn't cover over impact lol.Then why are you giving him **** for being honest?

Go away. I really can't stand you. You're so rude to me and so arrogant, trying to speak for a community you're not even in. You're an example of why I can't stand "allies". You're not trans. Accusing me of made up bs like "passing privilege". Wtf. As if I have any control over what testosterone does to me. Ever since that crap, I don't really read your garbage.There's always been members of every marginalized groups hoping to be 'the good one,' pulling up the ladder behind them for anyone who doesn't meet their standard of in group. Like, you're mad that people (both in and out the trans community) think being a politically conservative trans is self-defeating and harmful, but you trash talk the same community constantly, going on about how you dont identify with it and say you don't want to be part of it due to the sheer number of people who dont hold the same ideas you do. And you want to exclude anyone lower on the totem pole than you, including nonbinary trans or trans who don't have the same idea of passing. Like... are you surprised you don't get a glowing reception?
I'd love to hear about all the things Antifa destroyed and killed. Surely you have definitive proof?
She's elected herself the spokesperson for trans people, even though she's not transgender. I'm harming trans people in her eyes by being a trans man who is a conservative. It's just intolerant leftist nuttery. Seriously, **** that."Like... are you surprised you don't get a glowing reception"
He's being honest. Saying what he wants to say, not what others think he should say. That IMO is what matters.
'Passing privilege' has never exited my mouth (or fingers). Because I don't have a passing standard. I absolutely do not resent you for you being happy with your body but I do resent how you treat other people, includinf trans people, you feel make trans meaningless, erase them as trans, or say they have no place in the community you only identify with when you're trying to shut opposition down. Kind of like 'no womb no opinion' style arguments which I also think are weak.Go away. I really can't stand you. You're so rude to me and so arrogant, trying to speak for a community you're not even in. You're not trans. Accusing me of made up bs like "passing privilege". Wtf. As if I have any control over what testosterone does to me. Ever since that crap, I don't really read your garbage. You're an example of why I can't stand "allies". You're not trans. Leave me alone, as I do to you, even though I find your stances harmful to trans people, seeing as they erase us and make the very concept meaningless. Stances like yours are the reason why LGBT acceptance is declining for the first time in years. Good job, "ally". I have nothing else to say to you, unless you want to get into a flame war.
You call me nutter after saying I'm rude. Lol.She's elected herself the spokesperson for trans people, even though she's not transgender. I'm harming trans people in her eyes by being a trans man who is a conservative. It's just intolerant leftist nuttery. Seriously, **** that.
There was a time when females having libido and orgasms was considered an abnormal disorder.It's a perversion of normality. People think it's normal and natural now when at one time it wasn't normal at all.
Medical treatment is the subject, and by highlighting your two-faced hypocrisy, you were refuted.You can't refute something so......
Change the subject!
Giving children puberty blockers and mutilating their bodies is wrong. It is evil.
Then why don’t they go to the places rife’d with white supremacists and far right extremists, and destroy THOSE places? In my state, Seattle and Tacoma are 2 of the most liberal run, left leaning cities in the entire state; both cities with with liberal democrats in every position of power from Police chief to City Council members, to Mayor; and those are the major cities they chose to protest and destroy! If they are so intent on fighting white supremacy, who come they didn’t go to the small towns where everybody had Trump signs no their front lawns and confederate flags in the back of their Pick-ups, and raise hell there? Then I looked at other states and it seems they always seem to go to cities run by liberals, and riot there while looking the other way at the small towns run by republicans! Yeah; they might SAY antifa, but when you look at what they actually DO, it’s something totally different.I don't condone violence. But let's look at these groups. Antifa claimed to fight fascists but given the small number of them they had to settle for white supremacists and far right extremists.
I find it extremely ignorant to suggest all of the bigotry, prejudice, and hate is on the right and none on the left; it exists on both sides. The difference I see is, the extremes on the left seem to be extremely intolerant of opposing viewpoints to the extent of attempting to shut down discussions of those who do not agree with them; especially when it comes to College campus, and protests. I don’t see as much of this from the right.The fight for equality tends to also be a fight against prejudice. It is seldom a quiet and rational discussion. These are peoples lives in the balance and emotions fray. As a liberal I can say I have a great deal of pessimism about the future of the USA, and the basic liberties that we take for granted. For decades many have been frustrated that liberals are passive and get pushed around. Frankly I'm happy to see liberals get more aggressive and stand up for themselves against a growing far right sentiment that is willing to elect a criminal as president. These are dangerous people, and to save America, including trans kids, will require a lot of standing up against bigotry and hate.
I foresee this trend growing larger.
"Students at a Massachusetts middle school showed their opposition to Pride month by chanting, “USA Are My Pronouns,” through the school halls and wore red, white, and blue clothing and face paint."......
"The growing trend goes back as far as 2021, when a 15-year-old went viral for a speech ripping into his school board for critical race theory-infused teachings in their curriculum.".....
"High school students in Ottawa, Canada, are also staging a walkout to protest what they saw as inappropriate content in their curriculums"....
BOSTON (AP) — School officials in Burlington are working to respond to a clash at a middle school where some students tore down rainbow decorations and chanted “USA are my pronouns,” as the school’s LGBTQ+ student group celebrated the beginning of Pride Month.
Students at Marshall Simonds Middle School organized the June 2 celebration — for which they distributed rainbow stickers, posted Pride signs and encouraged students to wear rainbow clothing.
I trust doctors, psychiatrists, and medical experts moreso than I do random automatons who simply regurgitate whatever propaganda is spoonfed to them.What an utterly ridiculous comparison.
That dosent even come remotely close to legitimate medical conditions.
None of those are Antifa. Just because conservative gossip media says something, doesn't mean it's true.Six Antifa Extremists Arrested, Charged with Domestic Terrorism in Fiery Atlanta Riots

It isn't surprising that a conservative leaning article would distort or omit inconvenient details. It's also not surprising that conservatives would paint bullies and vandals as heroes.The vandalism—not just a protest, but destruction of decorations set up by other students—was done by some students, who don't seem to constitute the majority sentiment at the school. The Pride event was organized by other students, but some of the outlets reporting the news make it sound like the school itself was forcing rainbow-themed items on students even though that didn't happen. The ones trying to impose on others were the vandals who didn't even have to participate in the first place.

I'm not a member. I can't explain what their members do. I don't support violence. All my comments reflected was the broad attitudes of Antifa versus white supremacists and the far right. If there is going to be riots I would rather see property damaged rather than people hurt. The far right extremists exist to hurt people. That is all they stand for. They have no redeeming attitudes that aim to progress society. As noted many Antifa members have been violent, but their violence typically targets far right extremists.Then why don’t they go to the places rife’d with white supremacists and far right extremists, and destroy THOSE places?

Feel free to make a list. As it is the right is far worse at this in recent years. Do you really want to compare the two, side by side? The right has a former president facing multiple indictments for crimes against the USA, and many republicans support him.I find it extremely ignorant to suggest all of the bigotry, prejudice, and hate is on the right and none on the left; it exists on both sides.
The only far left groups are fringe and there are no politicians that are part of it. Compare that to the right and the MAGAs who call out citizens for their crimes. Geatz just held an unofficial hearing that aimed to defend Jan 6 defendants.The difference I see is, the extremes on the left seem to be extremely intolerant of opposing viewpoints to the extent of attempting to shut down discussions of those who do not agree with them; especially when it comes to College campus, and protests. I don’t see as much of this from the right.

The conservative version of patriotism is shallow and superficial and has nothing to do with the actual virtues and values that (are supposed to) define this nation: rights, freedom, equality, justice, etc.I find it unfortunate that the vandals shouted "my pronouns are USA" while directly violating the First Amendment of the Constitution on which their country was founded. One has to wonder what kind of "patriotism" their parents taught them considering how inconsistent and resentful it seems to be.

They engage in flag idolatry while loathing everything that the flag is supposed to stand for.
