My rights are not a controversy. You’re just a bigot.
they are not bigot, they just dont live in an echo chamber.
whether you like it or not, there’s lots people not thinking like you. I’m not one of them, just to clarify before I suddenly become a bigot, but people like that do exist, in masses
If you “have an opinion about transgender people” that involves taking away their rights, or putting them in harms way and that prioritises the needs of everyone else first, and the needs of trans people last, if at all, then you have a bigoted opinion.
I know its a huge job but will Blahaj ever consider migrating to PieFed over this (presumably when the tooling ia ready)?
Yep, it’s absolutely something we’d consider once database migration becomes possible
and where exactly was that my opinion? it is not an opinion, that such people exist. that is a sad and hard fact.
but sure, kill the messenger, call me a bigot for pointing out reality.
I wasn’t talking about you, I was talking in general, and the specific context was the person earlier in this discussion, who you explicitly stated is not a bigot.
So where exactly did the earlier guy state that was his opinion? He got called a bigot simply immediately after calling the issue controversial, not because he said he believed the things that you claimed.
Again, if you “have an opinion about transgender people” that involves taking away their rights, or putting them in harms way and that prioritises the needs of everyone else first, and the needs of trans people last, if at all, then you have a bigoted opinion. It’s a universal statement.
The person you were replying to described Nutomics position as “It’s hard for me to imagine a more agreeable and reasonable statement.” And as a reminder, Nutomics post was a statement complaining about pride flags on public buildings, calling transgender women “men” and stating that trans folk are a conspiracy/distraction pushed by the bourgeoisie, despite rich conservatives being largely responsible for the wave of trans hatred we’re currently experiencing.
That is pure transphobia.
welcome to mog. Curious what you think
True, he did say that on another comment, but the argument given here for why he is a bigot is not that comment, its the fact that he said this is a controversial topic.
If the guy who accused him of being a bigot wasn’t simply referring to his argument about the controversial nature but based on his actually bigoted views, then he should make it clearer.
We should have better standards of communication when accusing people of being a bigot, because badly delivered sane messages can actually sound pretty insane to people who weren’t in the loop from the start.
The guy is defending a bigoted opinion. End of story.
A lot of people thought that blacks shouldn’t be allowed to go to school.
yes, and what does it matter here? that’s another example of a controversial thing

What rights do non trans have that the trans don’t?
Not going to bite at this too hard, but how about starting with using a bathroom that matches their identity without people freaking out and trying to arrest them in several states?
What about people who don’t fit into a gender binary? How are they supposed to find a bathroom that matches their specific identity?
They get both options, depends on how one feels that day. Or, maybe we just make it universal to not specify who a room is for and get over it.
How I wish everyone would just switch to “has urinals and stalls” and “only has stalls” and be done with it.
This is, to be honest, the only correct solution to the bathroom issue. Make em universal and make the stalls more private so people don’t feel as vulnerable to share bathrooms.
They just pick whichever one is the most convenient to use at the time.
So its OK to force people to go into a bathroom that doesn’t match their identity?
Who’s forcing anyone? There are bathrooms, they can use whichever they want. All bathrooms should be unisex anyway.
You clearly don’t actually know anyone who’s enby and just like inventing problems.
Should these unisex bathrooms have urinals?
Sure, and maybe bidets too, they seem nice.

How about re-entering the US as a US citizen with a passport doesn’t have a gender matching their birth certificate?
Yeah, that’s a thing that’s happened in the last 100-ish days…
