The groups and individuals who push gender reassignment on children in our schools, and anyone else who is trying to normalize behavior that shouldn’t be tolerated, is unacceptable in my mind," Woods said in a statement.

You know, I can’t help but agree.

Watching Conservatives assign children gender based on their sex when they’re too young to understand what is being done to them is disgusting, and we shouldn’t be tolerating the normalization of disgusting, volatile, and hateful behaviour like that of the senator’s.

Also, who are the people that they think are “pushing gender reassignment” on children? I’ve never seen it, but I would guess that would fall under child abuse if it were indeed happening. Child abuse is already illegal, so what’s going on these last couple years? Wouldn’t the team of doctors and presumably at least one psychologist visit catch on to something funny happening after meeting with someone who is being forced into a gender change?

They absolutely would, and the whole forced transgender thing is “fake news” as they call it. I’d guess maybe it happened once, and the Conservatives latched on to it as the next hot topic to piss their cult off with. And here we are.

People deserve the right to live their lives as they feel appropriate, and doubly so when it’s not hurting anybody else. Wish they’d just leave my transgender homies alone.

It never happened once, kids and teens just saw people being happy transgender folks and decided that hey, maybe this might be a thing that’s good for me too. And then it was. Republicans, in classic alt-right fashion, saw someone being happy and immediately came to attempt to crush it under their boot. Healthy sexuality and exploration of the self became “they’re out here choppin’ dicks off your sons! Right now! It’s happening!”

This guy—this guy right here—is a prime example of why I’m not just an atheist but an antitheist.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
