    It’s almost like trans people were a literal non-issue until conservatives made it their issue. It’s the Streisand Effect to the max. Just let trans people live their damn lives

    Transgender is “wrong” and “immoral” yet all these republicans are crooks, fraudster, adulterers, hidden closeted gays, and support and back the worlds largest pedophile on the planet with the nuclear codes.

    But yeah, letting a man grow boobs is the problem here.

      Men should be allowed to grow boobs if they want.

      But the point of being a trans woman is that you’re not a man.

        None of that matters to a kid. To them it’s just a person being a person, wearing person clothes, and doing person things.

        I read it charitably as someone born with a male body wanting grow boobs…

        But sometimes a pithier statement, though technically less correct, does more work.

          I think there should be more mental space carved out for men with boobs, I dated a big dude with a sumo type body and the contrast between the muscly arms and legs and the soft moobs, mmmmm

        I think you’re misconstruing my sarcasm about Republicans and their inability to deal with trans people and how they view them.

        Sorry mate.

    When much of one’s political ideology is based off of manufactured outrage over the mere existence of a people group making up .01% of the population, they deserve all this stupid kind of bullshit that follows.

    It’s almost like we should keep government out of our lives unless there is a good reason.

    What I thought was a conservative value when I was growing up.

    Wow what a fucking asshole

    Can’t have your kids learning about counterculture on the off chance they self-actualize instead of becoming your legacy.

    Litterally why I started to pay for Youtube Premium last election cycle. “Daddy why does <Local Politician> want to kill babies?”

    Started playing music over bluetoon in the car to avoid the same ads on the radio.

      It took lots of effort to get rid of them, but I see almost no ads anymore. Not on the internet, not YouTube on my phone or in my TV shows or when I’m listening to music. I’m practically allergic to them. Now when I catch an ad that made it past me, it gets a physical reaction from me from just how FUCKING LOUD everything is all the time. And not just volume, but audio compression, colors, camera angles, costumes, set pieces, all of it. It’s a goddamn assault. They all just want their little piece of your time.

      Obligatory Bansky quote

      People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you. You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity. Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head. You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.
