Holy shit, the unhinged right are masters of making themselves out to be the real victims. What fucking chodes they are.

Crybullying is a tactic we let work far too often.

I dealt with them enough people that my response to crybulling is to laugh in their face and dare them to throw a punch. Which is surprisingly effective when you are a five five dude who pulls off the wildman look quite well.

~~lol I read cyber bullying, whoops~~

[-] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 months ago

And the “left” is sitting back and allowing their country to be steamrolled by these fucking chodes. It’s embarrassing, really.

Oh my god receiving consequences for being a shit head violates my 1st amendment rights!!!

Fuck them.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 52 points 6 months ago

Everyone else surprised that a school district would take any action at all against any bully, let alone one bullying a trans student.

[-] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 5 months ago

Taking action isn't too surprising. Not also suspending the bullied student because of some stupid 0 tolerance bullshit is more surprising

This has gone too far. Conservative media has just become purposeless cruelty. Bullying in any form shouldn't be allowed in school. Its obviously not only inhumane to allow that shit but its a liability for schools.

They get triggered if the wind blows the wrong direction. Fuck em.

[-] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 35 points 6 months ago

School bullies are tolerated for the same reason police tolerate the proud boys. The Christian agenda is to raise their kids to be Christian Soldiers terrorizing Queer kids and we're apparently supposed to go along with letting it happen. Fuck that.

As usual, the cruelty is the point!

[-] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 24 points 5 months ago

Looks like it's been misreported as one male saying in the locker room "there's a girl in here" and others saying they felt uncomfortable with a girl there. The school say there's more to it than media covered. Suspending a group for 10 days for expressing discomfort wouldn't be valid, but obviously that's not what happened

[-] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 10 points 5 months ago

Of course they are because cruelty is the point.

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 5 months ago

I'm surprised they even noticed, trans men don't tend to exist to these bigots

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 5 months ago

They were going to cause a problem no matter what the outcome was. Ignore.
