I respect your right to your opinions, but I'm sorry, I disagree. The United States has a brutal, centuries-long history of racism including slavery, people of color still face racism and the effects thereof, and I don't see why a fear of the ramp up of racist persecution is hyperbole.

No one alive  is responsible for things that happened centuries ago!  No one alive is a slave owner! 

The problem now a days is actual reverse racism, known as anti-whiteism.  I see reports of it coming from colleges, employers, etc.  Even movies that have anti-whiteism in them.   If you say you disagree, you aren't paying attention! That is on YOU.

"Reverse-racism", "anti-white sentiment", the "Great Replacement" or any other name for it are pure racist tripe used to manipulate people with fear and misinformation. Wanting people to have equality by identifying the systems that keep them from that equality isn't "reverse racism". Because people aren't literally enslaved in this country right now doesn't mean that everything's "better now". Outreach is better than divisiveness, so if you are interested in challenging your existing bias I'd be happy to share some information with on why what you've learned just isn't correct.

Who said anyone alive is responsible for slavery in the 1800's and before? I certainly did not. Although, since you mentioned it, there is still slavery and human trafficking going on around the world, including the US, and including trans people (look it up).

 

The negative effects of slavery and racism are still something that Black people are oppressed by (look it up).

 

I pay very close attention to these matters and I think you need to do some more learning.

The part I highlighted in bold font is hyperbolic.  

 

----------

The best way to prevent this is urging our reps to pass the equality act. As its highly likely trump will be back because of the lack of self awareness of democrats, and democrat assets in the media.  Hyperbolic claims aren't going to stop trump.

----------

Want to stop trump? Here is how to do it. 

Forget about climate change, it is a made up problem by the rich for the rich.  The rich fly on their private jets and lecture us, and the world about an imaginary foot print. Fear sells really well. 

Climate change is some thing they don't like being questioned!  That is a major red flag when you can't question some thing.  Often times they pull the "conspiracy theory ( theorist )" card to shut down questioning.

 

Stop censoring your opposition, violating the first amendment repeatedly,  you aren't going to be told this is happening on government approved media sources.  

 

Stop politically persecuting the opposition over political disagreements, as it open the door for them to do the same.

 

Stop tearing down the border wall and Secure the borders, deport all that are illegally here.

 

Stop violating constitutional rights.

 

Dump the toxic political correctness and wokeness, it doesn't help your cause.  

 

Require establishment approved media sources to fairly report on both sides, no more media blackouts on the truth, facts.  The two party system would fall, and independents would likely win.

 

Term limits!  No more career politicians.  

 

Definitely agree. 

 

Where I live, what opposition there is towards transgender people is mostly due to the perceived link between them and the social agendas that big government loves. And when Trump is one of the very few to criticize big government openly, it's no surprise that he is popular. What I dislike is that the Republicans start with very valid criticism of big government and the Democrat Party and Socialism or leftism, but they just use it as a talking point and a tool. What have they spent their time talking about the last few years? Bathrooms and school sports. Not the economy, or inflation, or the climate change agenda, or crime or our borders or really anything else that's relevant to our lives.

Also, climate change is very, very real. Even some Republicans admit it. The fossil fuel industry has literally known about it for many decades with their own research, but promoted misinformation about climate change. (see article https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/exxon-knew-about-climate-change-almost-40-years-ago/).

 

You can literally see the effects of climate change by going outdoors and listening to the news of habitat loss, species extinction, wildfires, etc.

Climate policies are anti-human, anti-freedom, anti-pets too.  They hurt the poor the most due to increased energy, pump prices, raising costs of goods, as well as pump prices .  Obiden admits that.   https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidblackmon/2022/05/24/biden-says-the-quiet-part-about-the-energy-transition-out-loud/?sh=120a2c245306

 

 

 

Will you eat bugs to save the C-lie-mate? https://www.foxnews.com/media/utah-school-gives-kids-insects-eat-class-climate-change-assignment-says-will-save-planet

 

What climate cultists are planning https://www.latimes.com/environment/newsletter/2023-07-20/would-an-occasional-blackout-help-solve-climate-change-boiling-point

 

Explain how making every thing cost more makes the climate be gooder? 

I ask again,  why can't climate $cience be questioned? Questioning science is how you do science. 

 

I strongly suggest you start questioning the climate narrative they are selling you. 

Maybe a climate emergency would help people see what they have planned, it won't be happy fun time like the china virus lock downs!

I am in full agreement with you.  They need to get off the trans stuff, as it is not even close to as big of a deal they make it out to be.  I can count on one hand the bathroom problem claims, and still have a few fingers left over.

Both sides are the same, just in different ways.

what are you talking about even, all of the bills and laws that seek to erase us from the public sphere, to take away our health care, to literally make it legal to murder us if you are "frightened" of us are being put forward by one party there is no "both sides"ing this

There is plenty more anti-white discrimination/reverse racism going on out there.  Your ignorance doesn't make me wrong.

I don't think climate change is made up.  However the "rich" are able to insulate themselves from the effects, and so largely don't really give a [fill in the blank].

 

The burden of addressing climate issues should not be on the "less wealthy" while the incredibly wealthy continue to do as they please.  A private jet makes a bit more pollution than a single mother driving across town to her crap job.

 

I don't think merely acquiescing to the right-wing agenda would win trans-folks acceptance.  To them we the problem itself.  But I don't see how our eradication would solve any real problems.  All this culture war crap just distracts people from realizing how they are being used.

Your cherry picking of information and stating it as a full blown agenda on the scale of the repression of other ethnicities doesn’t make you right. I can only assume, with your brash rhetoric, that you feel discriminated against based on race and I’m sorry you do. The whole concept of reverse racism is to try to minimize or undermine the struggle others have and continue to deal with.

Thank you for having this rule. 

 

This place is a haven for me. 

 

I did not realize it until I joined ... wow .. just a couple of weeks ago. 

 

I had never ever met anyone who had life experiences like I have had until here. 

 

And now ... so many! Every day, there's someone new popping in, sharing their story. Being vulnerable in this most sacred of spaces. 

 

Here - I do not ... no, I cannot do what I have done my whole life: insult myself. 

 

Here, I can feel dignity. 

 

That's where I want my passion to be in this space. To passionately help co-create that safe space for other Transgendered Beings. 

 

Thank you.

Nothing was cherry picked.  There is much more then that out there. The fact you aren't bothered by reverse racism, is troubling.    IBM is in trouble for discriminatory hiring practices now too!  https://www.bizpacreview.com/2023/12/12/ibm-chief-caught-coercing-managers-to-use-discriminatory-practices-in-hiring-process-leaked-video-shows-1419449/

 

Oppressing other races to lift others is wrong.  Discriminatory hiring practices based on race is wrong too, same with gender.  The divide and conquer agenda has sadly worked.  Divided we fall, united we stand.

Its ok to not explain any thing, as climate change is the biggest perpetual scam on most of the world.  

Ask yourself what country benefits from climate change agenda, and controls almost all the resources?  Follow the money.  Good luck, to you.

Back on track, yes Project 2025 has some problematic, and some scary things, I do like that federal efficiency standards would go away.  Forcing efficiency makes things break down more because of unnecessary electronics, and raising the cost of the product on top of it.

I definitely agree on that part. Although I would prefer to just get rid of the EPA entirely. You wouldn't believe the modifications people have to do to vehicles and farm equipment of more recent models.  Plenty of examples of brand new equipment that simply won't run. The prices of old farm equipment are crazy high because the supply is limited and people want the stuff that the government hasn't ruined.

Yeah, dealing with climate change is inconvenient.  Denying it won't make it go away.

I'm becoming convinced that the human race is suicidal.

How did this thread go from expressing worry over an anti-trans agenda to debating the existence of climate change? I'm stuck between laughing and making a shocked face-

I'll just leave this here as food for thought for you wonderful folks out there. How conversations get hijacked:

 

SWAMPED:

 

S: Strawmen: Attack views or ideas, never expressed by the target.

W: Whataboutism: Deflect the discussion away from the subject.

A: Attack: Use brutal language to discourage the opposition.

M: Mockery: Use sarcasm to belittle the opposition.

P: Provocations: A false flag operations

E: Exhaust: Drown the opposition in details and technicalities

😧 Denial: Flatly deny any evidence

      I would prefer a pill for society to forget their prejudices. I would prefer society abstain from the avarice of power. What actual harm have we caused that is worthy of the pain inflicted in that we seek to “remedy” ourselves.   Yes, surely, there is calm in oblivity. A dull, grey, painless calm. 
    • Betty K
      As to the question at hand, would I take some pills to wake up happy as a cis man? No, because I’m happy as a transfemme. But for many years the answer would have been yes. 
    • Betty K
      That’s good. I agree I can see how some folks might conflate the two. 
    • AllieJ
      Betty, I'm not conflating anything. There is no listing for transness, the only formal listing for diagnosis is for Gender Dysphoria. The official bodies have stayed away from using the term transgender as none can classify it. As the only diagnosis is Gender Dysphoria, I can see why the masses would conflate it with trans, and label us as with mental problems, as it is the only information they have!    Hugs,   Allie

      Logically taking his argument there, he is simply two in a line of 47 POTUS.  Kamala or Hillary would have been nothing first that way. Its the 2 count that makes her unique.
    • Betty K
      @AllieJ it sounds as though you’re conflating transness and gender dysphoria. The DSM-5 deliberately does not classify transness itself as a disorder. Dysphoria is simply the distress that can arise from gender incongruity. Nobody gets diagnosed as being transgender.
    • AllieJ
      The only formal diagnosis for us currently in place is in DSM-5, The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. While currently there is no 'cure', as it is listed as a disorder, it leads towards the concept of 'cure'. In 2018 the WHO reclassified transgender from a mental condition to a medical condition within the normal range of human experience, named Gender Incongruence. Don't get offended by the term 'condition'. Life is a medical condition.    For the next couple of years the APA was asked when they would change the DSM to reflect the WHO classification, as most world bodies quickly adopted it. The APA finally released the DSM-5 classification for Gender Dysphoria, management admitting that part of the driver to their classification was to keep funding available under the American health system as driven by insurance companies. This has not benefitted the rest of the world whose healthy systems are government based.    Mental disorders are the least health condition accepted by the general public as they are generally abstract, and the public views sufferers as 'faulty'. We are not 'faulty' and I believe this classification of a mental disorder is wrong. This is why there is no 'cure' under the current system. But it is also why we struggle for legitimacy in the eyes of the general public, and why there is fear in the community. Think about it, would you be comfortable with your children sharing intimate spaces with someone diagnosed with a mental disorder? It would raise your caution levels, and has for much of the community. Right, or wrong, this is why MAGA gets support so easily.   Would I take the option to not be trans?   Let's see, being trans has given me terror through my childhood, critical distress through puberty, has robbed me the opportunity of ever having close friends lest they discover my secret, cost me 2 marriages and caused me to raise my children on my own, made me live in isolation as an adult so I could be myself behind locked doors and closed curtains, given me chronic stress to the point of a breakdown go my health, caused a heart attack and 2 cardiac arrests, and consigned me to loneliness in my senior years. Would I give all that up to have a so called 'normal' life with more wealth, friends, and a spouse? You bet!   Hugs,   Allie

      I agree with this also, let people be themselves. I didn't mean to say that anyone is more or less anything, more meant that being true to who you are isn't necessarily determined by outfit.

      Just because we don’t do gender the same, doesn’t mean anyone is less or more so said gender—or a threat to yours. Let the person wear fishnets to the clinic. Wear that hoodie to church. Wear the makeup or don’t. But for the love of all that we hold dear, please stop clutching your pearls when someone dresses outside your boundaries of style or perceived appropriateness.
