Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I do not care whos pissing or shitting next to me. They mind their own business and I do the same. It's crazy that people think someone would identify as trans just to attack someone. Such a dumb society.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's not about an honest belief that someone will identify as trans to commit a crime, it's about the advantage of identifying as a victim in order to push an agenda.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

Yeah, it's just a way to legitimize attacking and arresting trans people for living their lives openly.

Not surprising, this Court is signalling to bigots everywhere that it's basically open season. Misogynists, homophobes, transphobes, they're saying, "We're not going to stop you when it comes to us, do as you please."

Don’t worry, it’s likely going to get a lot worse. If they get in the White House, they will ban our healthcare.

I've been stockpiling enough HRT to last until I can leave the country, just in case SHTF.

How have you managed to get that much extra? I've been doing this for 10 years and the most I've been able to obtain was an extra month. In fact, I've hit deficits more times than I can count because insurance or my endo randomly decided to fuck me over.

Once a week I take half a dose

Injections. A 1 month vial can be stretched to 3

We need to push back the other way. No more gendered bathrooms. Everyone shares them all. Women can squat on the urinals. Men can too. Fuck it.

"Whatever, just wash your hands."

Animal shithouse.

Must be election year when the political fascists use marginalized people as human shields to defend their shitty policies.

As usual Democrats have offered nothing for protections since the last time these discussions came up. One openly tells you they hate you while the other says it with inaction

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Must be nice to ignore all the news. Ignorance is bliss

In reality, Biden has stepped up executive orders and actions to extend protections

Meaningless gestures with no methods of enforcement.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This just in: Title IX cannot be enforced! Every legal action you’ve heard about was a lie!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Title IX only requires equal access to education free of discrimination or harassment from the school or educators. It has no teeth
