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.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). 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!

A district judge in Wisconsin has sided with an 11-year-old trans girl over her use of the girls’ toilets and temporarily blocked school officials from preventing her access.

If its a transwoman you may not being able to identify the biological male part: that genitalia.

The entire person is the biological male part lol. It's not just genitalia.

That’s the whole point of this issue with trans people using bathrooms: it’s their ability to pass as the gender that is on trial.

No, that literally has nothing to do with it. The issue with trans people using bathrooms is that they're wanting to use bathrooms that were specifically made for them not to use. They're not "gender identity" based bathrooms, they're sex based since they have been around long before "gender identity" was a thing.

Trans people aren’t perverts who just one day decided to say they were a specific gender. But you keep bringing up that perspective as an equivalent.

I haven't once said that, so you really need to stop telling lies and being disingenuous. You keep lying and saying that I'm saying trans = pervert when I have said no such thing.

You’re just creating this hypothetical biologically male sexual pervert out of thin air and linking that to a transperson using the bathroom. It’s dishonest because it’s incorrect. Refuting that isn’t disingenuous.

I'm not linking them to trans people at all. What I am doing is pointing out that the consequences of allowing biological males that identify as female into female only spaces is that any male can then use those female only spaces, making them no longer female only spaces.

You've done nothing but tell lies and make up imaginary quotes so you can dance around the fact that you have no actual rebuttal.

Sigh, you are saying those things. Repeatedly. Instead of acknowledging that I am pointing out that you are, in fact, making these claims, you saying I am being disingenuous and a liar. It's a classic defense, for sure, to project as such.

Gender neutrality and the removal of gender and sex from bathrooms is not an inherent risk to anyone and does not subject them to aexual perverts. My evidence are things like the existence of gender neutral bathrooms not being sexual menaces upon people in public. This means that a step towards neutralizing either the gender, genital/sexing of bathrooms does not have an inherent co sequence of allowing perverts more access to bathrooms. It's a false equivalence and an unreal consequence.

In fact, it's closer to say the sexualized spaces of genital specific bathrooms is what actually puts those spaces at risk of perverts. Since you're missing the point, the circular nature of this self fulfilling prophecy is what I was referencing previously.

You can scream and sling insults about what you thing I have been doing engaging you here. That's what makes this a special place.

Show me where. Quote them.

100% false. It makes female safe spaces no longer that since males can simply come and go as they please. Female safe spaces exist for a reason.

sexualized spaces of genital specific bathrooms

Who is saying bathrooms are sexualized? Only you. Very odd. Something being sex based doesn't "sexualize" it.

Just more disingenuous arguments and lies from you.

Me: 1+1=2

You: No, 1+1=3. You're saying that 1+1=7 which is wrong.

Me: No, I'm saying 1+1=2. Where did you get 7 from?

You: You keep saying 1+1=7.

"Oh but you see, I have made you the soyjack, and have portrayed myself as the chad."

It's okay if you're mad. I'm not disappointed.

FWIW I have explained what I mean in every post and I have asked questions in every post you've completely ignored or haven't answered in the slightest. There clearly is nothing more of value that you can express.

Your homework, if you choose to accept it, is to read up the thread and live with the questions only rhetorical for you to marinade upon.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So no, you can't show me where and you can't quote them hahaha

It is hard quoting things that don't exist.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"hahaha"

It's all there for people to read. Just doing my part in helping you get the ol noggin cranking on why you hold those opinions.

So anyway, right: the numbers: 1+3 = 4 2+2 = 4

(You got this!)

Still waiting on those quotes mate. How many more posts can you go without being able to provide any?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fucking A man, my replies are directly quoting your above posts. I don't know why you can't figure out how to scroll up.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Your replies with zero quotes have the quotes?
