Politically incorrect prog??

There's no offense.  Try to understand the insidious socio-political situation the States is in at the moment and the stress it causes with, well, pretty much anything political.   I actually hate politics, it is the great divider.   But I also read and pay attention to what's happening which itself can cause undue stress.

I would only add, if you want to be a free speech warrior instead of a social justice one, then you have to not mind someone who thinks the "Biden is a Liar" video guy is an idiot.   We're lookin at either Sleepy Joe or Sociopathic Traitor Don over here.   It ain't pretty.

But getting critizised for being against free speech or less in favor of free speech or whatever is stupid in the first place. Aside from the obvious fact that it's not a simple matter of being pro- or anti- free speech (nobody in the world is fully against free speech, and nobody in the world is pro absolute free speech in every possible permutation), if someone accuses me for being "against" free speech, I'm usually like...so? If I obviously state that in some cases I'd be stricter in what I think should be allowed, then pointing that out is kind of daft, isn't it? It's like accusing me of not liking an album if I described how much I dislike it. No sh*t sherlock.

It's fine to get upset about censorship or about when people get offended by something they shouldn't get offended by. Hell, I do it. But it's another thing to be paranoid about it because you've read a little bit too much bullsh*t on facebook about what (people try to convince you into thinking) you're supposedly not allowed to say anymore. It usually comes from a good place anyway. That people want to better the world wrt racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. and sometimes go about it the wrong way doesn't mean they have malicious intent. People who interpret it that way are telling on themselves. And sometimes, if you feel like you're not allowed to have a certain opinion anymore, it might be a good idea to look at why that seems that way and perhaps consider if you're just not keeping up with modern society.

 

What's so great about modern society?

 

^ This is true, and there is something to be said for whatever progress we've made away from ignorance.   But like stubborn children we want what we want when we want it.  

1) Why bring trans people up all of a sudden only to talk sh*t about them?

2) Why do you sound so sarcastic when you talk about sex change? it IS great you can choose your sex these days. Why mention you're either with us or against us? Are you against it? Are you against trans people or something?

3) Currently, kids do not get their genetalia cut off at 14.

4) Almost nobody who starts the process of changing their sex later wants to change back, and the sooner you start the process, the better the results. Nobody starts a sex change process on a whim or because it's "trendy". People who think that are truly too stupid to wipe their own ass.

5) Those who do wish to reverse the process usually don't regret having started the process.

You're falling for transphobic right-wing propaganda disguised as concerns over children's health. Your family members or friends need to pull you out of this rabbit-hole before you're gone for good and they no longer want to associate with you. I've seen it happen, and seeing as 50% of what you post on this forum has something to do with "wokism" and whining about how you're not allowed to say stuff, I know which way you're heading. Or maybe try to talk to an actual trans person instead of believing what those who hate them say about them.

You've shown your true colors, and I hope fellow forum members see you for what you are and not naively interpret this is some kind of misunderstanding or difference of opinion. He doesn't bring this up for no reason, people. Goodbye.
