Biden Talked Trans Rights at Thursday's Town Hall

[Mia Marie]

Jackie, what you are haven't seen is that Covid-19 is the 19th version of the virus, man made in China and paid for by billionaires bent on re-creating a modern version of the Illuminati. This group of extra wealthy men believe the world population needs to be reduced down to 50 million total. They are also strong supporters of the Democrat party.

Mia Marie, Lee H, and Wichita, please knock it off!  This discussion is getting out of control, as is your language.  All of you, please take a step back and stop with the rancor.  If you cannot restrain yourselves, we will do it for you.  This is your last warning.

Covid-19 refers to Coronavirus 2019.  '19 is the year it was first discovered.

All the articles you are basing your statement on are liberal controlled media. They try debunking what history has already proven as fact. It is also fact that Democrats and Liberal politicians have been trying to change history and the way history is learned. This came from 2 family members who are also family.

I personally have not been using bad language and am also refraining from name calling.

Sorry…  Now I remember why I wanted out.

Enjoy yourselves girls.

You'd think that would be enough to maintain adult civility. But apparently not, unfortunately.

I'm right behind you. It's getting a little too...partisan in here... which is the nicest way I can express my current feelings.

 

It's strange... considering the very real enemies, threats and danger we face by virtue of who and what we are, it makes me sad that we can so easily devolve into the same immature political in-fighting as the rest of the country. If we cannot count on each other as allies, how will we ever count on others?

This just proves my point. How you can single out three of us while letting the others off the hook tells me all I need to know.

 

Whatever... I'm off to find more adult discourse. I finished kindergarten more than three and a half decades ago. Feel free to give my juice box animal crackers to someone else.

Last I looked, @Carolyn Marie is one of the Administrators of the site and @MaryEllen who is the Managing Administrator of the Forums have both cautioned against the direction this topic has taken and behaviors they specifically mentioned have kept ongoing without attention being paid, or they are paid lip service only.  In looking through the posts here I see where other members feel that their input has had no consideration or thought paid to their very real beliefs and concerns.  They were and have been entitled to the same consideration as the principal contributors here.  Rule 4 which designates this site as a support site for Trans people cannot be found in other than a few brief sentences scattered in here. There have been other problems as well. 

  I know I would like to see us return to subjects that edify and benefit members of the Transgender community and especially those members who are having problems dealing with the new revelations and challenges in their lives that will continue long after the subject matter of this topic is forgotten or of concern to any of those involved up to this point.  

 

Carolyn, Mary Ellen or @Petra Jane can remove this post at their discretion when they review it.

This is the purpose of our site, trolling is not allowed, welcomed or encouraged.

 

Before someone claims that this is censorship, this is simply a request that we expect people to be civil to one another, fine, disagree with another's comments by all means, but be polite about it. If you can't be, or won't be, then perhaps this is not the place for you.

Censorship is altering posts to suit one's own beliefs, or removing the posts themselves. We have not, and will not be doing so, however, we do expect that all conversations ARE civil.

 

Politics and Religion are two very emotive subjects for many, and we do allow a little more leeway in discussions about these BUT remember, we are all in this together and are here to SUPPORT one another in our journeys.

 

Thank you, Petra Jane Budge

Biden saying he is planning good thing for transgenders. He will do NOTHING. He lied to get you to vote for him.

You made the assertion that democrats make promises and don't keep them before.

 

However, it's better to have someone who voices support for you than someone who voices the opinion what you should be killed on sight.

 

I'm really tired of the argument that "Democrats have made promises which they can't make happen".   All political types say what they support.   Democrats generally support protecting minorities, including transgenders.  Even if they cannot achieve those goals, I am happy for the support.   Republicans generally want to (a) kick minorities out of the country (b) encourage violence.   Trump gave praise to some people who tried to run Biden's campaign buss off the road.

 

What if you were in a car and somebody clocked you and tried to run you off of the road?  Don't you think Trump would praise that?   I'd much rather have people in charge who promote cooperation rather than violence.

 

We have had to live through four years of a new atrocity every day.   How about some of the DOCA people who were rounded up by ICE and forced to go through involuntary surgery to remove their wombs?   That is war-crime level atrocity.  That's just one day out of four years that I have had to cringe every time I turned on the news.  And you are party to it.  You are responsible for these atrocities by your support of the current administration.  You do not get to say, "I'm sorry these things happened, it wasn't my fault."  It is your fault.  You are party to it by your support of the people who did it.   You are party to the large number of transgender murders that have occurred.   You are party to a large number of crimes against women.  Stop supporting people who openly support violence.  You are party to that violence because of that support.

This topic is locked for the time being.  It may be unlocked after the site Administrators believe that enough time has passed that tempers are cool and the discussion may remain civil.  We take this action reluctantly.
