On any of the donation threads where it came up and he replied to it, the most he ever did was some half hearted corporate PR “apology” (ironic)
db0 trying not to be based challenge:
Impossible.
“Do you also perform this kind of background check for every product you buy in the supermarket?”
Uh. Yeah. We do. That’s why we’re constantly coming on here telling people what companies to boycott. Do you not follow your own movements?
How can you call “the transgender topic” at all “controversial”? You either support and protect minorities or you don’t.
Also, my man db0 is just the goat.I mean, it is absolutely controversial. Whether or not it should be controversial is what you seem to be referring to. I 100% agree that it shouldn’t be controversial, because human rights should never be controversial. But as it currently stands, it is an extremely divisive topic with strong opinions in both directions; claiming otherwise is outright disingenuous.
How can you call “the transgender topic” at all “controversial”?
🤯
What universe are you living in where everyone agrees and has the same opinions about transgender people? It’s more or less the definition of a controversial topic.
The world of morality purity testing. According to the democrats or the “left” in america right now, if you don’t pass the test at all times you are scum and should be banned and silenced. I’m just amazed so many people apparently have made not a single mistake in their lives.
I’ll give a good example, I think. Pete Hegseth is bad at his job and says controversial things, and yet all I hear about him is how much he likes drinking. You don’t need the purity test to dislike the guy, and yet its the first choice anyways.
My rights are not a controversy. You’re just a bigot.
they are not bigot, they just dont live in an echo chamber.
whether you like it or not, there’s lots people not thinking like you. I’m not one of them, just to clarify before I suddenly become a bigot, but people like that do exist, in masses
If you “have an opinion about transgender people” that involves taking away their rights, or putting them in harms way and that prioritises the needs of everyone else first, and the needs of trans people last, if at all, then you have a bigoted opinion.
and where exactly was that my opinion? it is not an opinion, that such people exist. that is a sad and hard fact.
but sure, kill the messenger, call me a bigot for pointing out reality.
I wasn’t talking about you, I was talking in general, and the specific context was the person earlier in this discussion, who you explicitly stated is not a bigot.
So where exactly did the earlier guy state that was his opinion? He got called a bigot simply immediately after calling the issue controversial, not because he said he believed the things that you claimed.
A lot of people thought that blacks shouldn’t be allowed to go to school.
yes, and what does it matter here? that’s another example of a controversial thing
Technically, they are controversial. There are people who support your right to live and there are people who dont support it
If half of humans thought water was dangerous, drinking water would be a controversial topic
Its not black and white like that. There are people who support trans people but are concerned about the medicine and psychology, considering how young and mistake prone those fields are. Keep in mind there was a time where labotomies were defended in a similar way.
I don’t think taking HRT and getting a literal lobotomy are equal…
Probably not 1:1 but the point is that its risky when medicine moves too quickly, and human ego has proven to be an extremely potent force. I use extreme examples to make a point.
Mainly what concerns me right now is that people who have concerns or questions about the medicine or science are routinely harassed and/or banned from trans communities. That, and the amount of faith the general public has in our understanding of psychology.
because the science is there and they keep dringing up the one study that has been wildly discredited.
What rights do non trans have that the trans don’t?
The right to live as the gender you want
That is a right u got in most first world countries.
List some examples. Very few countries have equal right for trans people enshrined in law. Certainly not in the US or the UK.
In Australia, UK, nz, and I’m sure a bunch of places in Europe. Its illegal to discriminate based upon gender identity.
The rest of the rights are given to all people regardless of how they identify.

Probably the best admin on this entire platform, but I am biased as I am under their instance.
