kinda a tough one - the trick is finding ways to reduce bigot's access to public infrastructure without violating their right to free speech. and this is an actual free speech issue, not like musk's or trump's ideas of free speech. I despise these dirtbags completely, but don't want to see them supported by becoming 'victims'.

Oh maybe you have an extra biosphere we can slap on to the one being wrecked by CO2? No?

Anyone who knew the truth is complicit in that destruction and we're only beginning to quantify the harm.

if you’re going to assert it doesn’t, at least provide a shred of evidence - the person you’re replying to linked an academic paper, and your brilliant reply “nuh uh” doesn’t really carry the same gravitas.

and have yet to provide anything substantive - like links to research.

lucky! they still subsidize the activity if they tithe tho.

delivering someone from a lifetime of sexual and gender oppression, and eliminating their need to tithe a portion of their income to an organization that hides and protects pedophiles and rapists?
