It’s not about bathrooms. It’s never been about bathrooms. It is only and will only ever be about hurting trans people for being “other”.
That's why this headline is funny.
Next thing you'll tell my "state's rights" had nothing to do with states or preserving rights. /s
When someone says State Rights, your response should be, "state's rights to do what?"
The civil war was about states' rights.
States' rights to not send escaped slaves back to their home states where slavery is legal. The South wanted to force the North to give return escaped slaves. The North said no, if they come here they're free. So the South started a war about it, because they didn't want the states to have the right to make their own decisions about slavery. The South wouldn't put up with any state supporting slaves who relocated to within its borders.
I am not bound by your limited imagination. Just because you disagree with me doesn’t mean you can just declare that I am “pro slavery.” That’s no better than declaring that people who are against the genocide in.m Gaza must suddenly be “antisemitic“.
If your position is so weak that you have to rely on flagrant lies and ridiculous falsehoods, then perhaps you should reassess your position. Mine is not your problem. And if you have to lie to make your point, it can’t be much of a point at all.
I see that I should have added an \s.
I thought it was quite obvious, FWIW.
Painfully so
No, no you didn't.
Even "/s" wouldn't have prevented those replies.
Fair enough
there is never any reason to do so
Mate, @henfredemars@infosec.pub was agreeing with you. There's no fight here, you're attacking ghosts.
What an appropriate username. Clearly, an enlightened individual.
Perhaps you should stick to your hobby instead of trolling other people’s conversations.
Don’t bother replying, because I’ve blocked you. Unless, of course, you’re only trolling for upvotes…
I’m just asking questions
Take your political bullshit to another sub. Don’t pick fights here just because you’re mad the Democrats lost.
We are all mad about that, but we don’t act terribly towards each other as a result.
Comport yourself appropriately
I think you overlooked the sarcasm...! Happens to the best of us

Looks at all the politics comments on this comment thread.
Looks back at this comment again.
I think this might actually be a place for people to make comments about politics my dude.
Is it even about trans people or is it about generating a moral panic about them that might result in the creation of a genitalia inspector profession that will oppress all women? For their safety, of course.
It’s definitely about trans people. Harming anyone else is just a fringe benefit.
I don't think it's that for most of them.
I think it's more along the lines of "trans people are so different they make me uncomfortable and afraid, and we need to keep them away."
If they realize the harm that causes, they simply don't prioritize it relative to their personal comfort and perceived safety.
Very few people are the raging psychopaths your line of thinking implies.
