Conservatives: "Bullying is a human right! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Also conservatives: "What do you mean, my god is evil?"
I think I owe reddit atheists an apology.
Reddit atheism is just an excuse for white Americans to hate Muslims while their government shoots them all dead abroad. Being anti-radical Christianity is just a natural defense mechanism when they're constantly terrorizing you.
Liberals won’t give Cuba an ounce of credit for confronting its homophobic history and formally including people of all identities and orientation into their society via the constitution, but they’ll look at these “debates” in the US and tell to you :vote: harder next time
Their only ammunition is mentioning something Fidel did half a century ago.
Zooey Zephyr (trans state rep in Montana) recently did an AMA that was pretty cool.

Her position sounds insane to have to try and politely stand up to these pieces of shit. What really made me feel sick was a comment she made about how all these people act so cordial in passing to her outside of the chambers but then go on to act with such depravity.
No one--not a single person--has misgendered me to my face. I know there are conversations behind the scenes from far-right folks--I sometimes overhear bits of those conversations, and sometimes dems or moderate Rs apologize for what folks say. But again, no one has ever been openly cruel to me personally. There's decorum rules here, and people abide by them.
Also, there are some republican women who do not support trans rights, who actively vote against trans rights, and yet nonetheless have long, wonderful conversations with me in the women's restroom, actively gender me correctly, and never raise an issue about me as a person.
That said, respect isn't just about how they treat me individually as a trans person. It's also about what they say on the record about my community, the bills they bring forward, and the votes they take on trans issues. And it's important to remember that individual kindness to me does not equal respect for me and my community.
These people are fucking monsters and deserve the hell they try to make for all of us
I want all of america on trial, for the world to see. It would be my only wish
I have dreamed about the USA getting put on trial by a higher being a la Q in the Star Trek TNG premier. Go ahead and let someone like Obama try and give a defense of this evil country, only to see him get embarrassed by a vigorous prosecution.
The entire 3rd world putting the US leadership and bourgeoisie on trial for their imperialism is such a happy thought its practically a drug
I'm pretty surprised that deadnaming isn't already protected speech everywhere in the US honestly
Schools are legally required to follow Title IX if they receive any federal funding (99% do), which should cover protecting children from hate speech. It's not that children will get in trouble for saying hate speech, it's that the institution will get in trouble if it allows hate speech. At least I think it's title IX.
Cool. So is Montana not bound by Title IX then, or are they willing to give up on receiving public funds?
I always hate when they try the "Oh i'm actually helping trans people by deadnaming them. You wouldn't give an addict drugs, would you?" shit. Same sort of "Roll in to be a dick then vehemently insist you're in the right for doing so" shit I heard all the time I heard from people who made fun of me about my weight as a kid.
whispering oh yeah, inject that Kristina right into my veins,fuuUUUUCK! Oh man I'm gonna OD on validation
Just so you know the site glitched out and made this comment appear like twelve times in my notifications, which made it significantly funnier
The only winning strategy for the culture war is to call transphobes "gender vegans" isn't it?
"You want me to stop doing that you disagree with? You're just like those self-righteous vegans!"
You wouldn’t give an addict drugs, would you?
This is also their argument against Universal Medicare.
I hope everyone involved in supporting this bill experiences misery for the rest of their lives
Why is the American right suddenly losing its shit over trans people? Why now?
No governing strategy, so scapegoating and punching down is a lot easier.
Makes sense. Fascism is incapable of actually solving problems, so all it can really do is make an ever-expanding list of minorities to kill.
I think it's going to be one of the big election cycle culture war issues unfortunately. It's like 90% of what the right-wing psychos like libs of tik tok, Jordan Peterson, Matt Walsh, etc post about now. They have people convinced that liberals are giving toddlers gender reassignment surgery.
That house floor session was like something out of an SNL skit. The guy who drafted the bill looks like a Reddit neckbeard.
In Montana anyone with a few million can become a Republican congress critter.
Some of their districts are 85% GOP.
i swear to god if they try to pull this shit in my state, i'm going to want to do an adventurism so fucking bad
that's so aggressively fucked. they passed it btw. i wish every trans kid in mt a very 2nd amendment friendly end to their bullying
Liberals: We oppose all forms of bullying, from real life to cyber bullying!
New York Times: [bullies trans people]
Also Liberals: God I love you.
Spent a few minutes typing and deleting a dumb joke about bullying Montana state officials
I don't think I have it in me to be funny about it
This is going to result in the abuse and death of vulnerable young people who should have been given so much better.
The authors of this bill deserve to die. This is so breathtakingly cruel.Republican representative: "We are under no obligation to be kind to one another and kids are not obliged to."
mother fuckers just coming out and saying "im a horrible person and everyone else should be too". fuck all these people, i hope the rest of their lives are filled with misery and agony.
I'm not going to become the joker, I am going to become fucking Light Yagami.
Come on, you know it's thinly veiled behind some :freeze-peach: horseshit
But everyone knows what the goal is, including and especially the people who are pushing it
