I only believe the radical non binaries like Kyuuji for their word, the rest is going to buy it, probably even most transgender peeps.

There's something about non binaries as a group that makes them the loudest and most entitled for whatever reason.

I guess they have the weakest claim on minority status so they have to go on the attack all the time to deflect.

Not to throw shade at the NB community in general but it's just such an easy 'in' to LGBTQ+. You don't have to really change anything if you don't want to, you can still have sex with women, can still dress/present like a man, no medical stuff if you don't want it. You just have to make the claim and you're in. Again, I'm not saying NBs are all frauds but if you were a fraud claiming NB status is the easiest way through the door. One day you're a white hetero male, next you're an oppressed minority, arguably outranking white gay men in some progressive circles.

one of the fundamental contradictions i can't get over is:

"Gender norms are hateful and toxic and should be destroyed!"

AND ALSO

"I will die if I cannot use science to change my body to more accurate match the gender norm of the woman i believe should be"

Boycotting Harry Potter has got to be the most ERA move of all time.

EviLore - does the new site allow for betting squares? If it does you should consider a board with maybe 100-200 squares. Have the board identify completely harmless things, square them up, and let everyone get one square. Every time ERA boycotts one of those things free gold to whoever has the square. I'll take the Charmin Bear if its still available.

I'll take Prince William

The less this forum fixates on Era, the better. GAF was here first.

The whataboutisms are thick and heavy:

These people really believe that the US is just as terrible of a place as China and it's maddening.

Also bonus "It's really just racism and the CIA that makes the CCP sound so terrible":

You know, the thing?

Was thinking football playoff squares when I wrote it, but more like those "who dies this year" lists for winning since there's no quarters and points.

Sounds like over complicated bingo.

 

[peetfeet]

Just been reading the potter/mermaid thread, holy shit. Why do they allow such hate speech it's awful stuff, from the op and on, a perfect example of deluded cancel culture.
And the mod message at the bottom of the page warning people with a different opinion (or anything that deviates from what they say no matter how small, again, the wrong opinion obviously) not to post in there or be action severely. The place is just embarrassing.

I think when you go full on SJW you simply can't tolerate any view that isn't in lockstep with the ideology.

Usually when they have "ideological clashes" like this stuff with JKR it's an all or nothing thing.
Sides are chosen and then you must destroy the other side.

Ten, probably even five, years ago a dude trying to enter women's spaces with the logic "but I actually identify as a woman" would be seen as a troll at best and a creepy predator at worst.

JK is still playing SJW but more in a "we must defend women's spaces from men" way and the movement has moved on.

Basically you have a bunch of angry white dudes who decided to start identifying as women and used that new identity to go FULL ON with the attacks and bullying. They would have been dismissed outright when they were angry white dudes but with their new identity they can go as far as they like.

So it's not just "she disagrees with us". It's "she's a horrible bigot who is KILLING people".

Turns out the best way to get people to start caring about male suicide is to identify those males as "women".
Suddenly NOW it's a crazy big deal.
Used to be "why should we set time aside to talk about men's issues hahaha every day is International Men's Day".
When the men identify as women though it's "oh my god anyone who even dares say anything bad about them is CAUSING THEM TO DIE!"

The whole thing with JK Rowling simply comes down to the fact that a woman is standing up to men, and they really don't fucking like it.

Because let's cut the crap: it's mainly men who are instigating this shit. I'm fortunate enough to know two genuine transgender people who have been through a lot of pain, both mental and physical, to arrive at where they are now. Surgeries, hormones, constant medical checks etc. etc. It's a hard, long road that earns them their right to fucking agree with JK Rowling. They're terrified young people are being indoctrinated and brainwashed into decisions totally wrong for them due to peer pressure.

Most of the cunts who want Rowling dead are just entitled man babies who have decided to muscle in on just about the only arena they've left alone in the past.

JK Rowling is a fucking warrior... as are the trans couple I know. They've all known proper hardship, and won't take shit from anyone - unlike the weak, nasty little boys this whole thing has enabled.

If there's any Reeeeeseters in Nigeria... time to move, doods!

There's real concerns given Nigeria 's recent history that this will be used against the gay community. All you need is to "convince" a gay man to denounce his lovers as rapists and there you go.

It's what happens with extremists.

I used to have a friend that fell hard for the whole redpill-soros-8chan bullshit and he became unable to handle any dissenting opinion.

The day of the Kenosha riots he started by wishing "Trump would give them the genocide they claim its happening" and ended up telling me I was "just like the rioting monkeys", dropping n-words like crazy all along the way.

Awful. I've had friends fall to extreme sides and it's heartbreaking to see. Kinda makes me second-guess myself as well.

Not free. Make people buy in on the square.

Would be hilarious fun for $5 or something.

[Maiden Voyage]

Trump will have filled 3 of the 9 seats. This puts the court having a majority conservative view. People are upset because they believe Roe v Wade will be repealed (abortion rights). Other decisions could be reversed as well.

 

[Nobody_Important]

Because she was the only thing standing between the Republicans and a conservative majority on the SCOTUS.

If the Republicans can force through a conservative judge before the election or before the new Congress in January then the US legal system is completely fucked for the foreseeable future. Vital things like Roe v Wade and LGBTQ rights would almost certainly be at risk.


This is the worst case scenario for every progressive person in America.

And yet Roberts and Gorsuch have deviated from their traditional right-lean in recent rulings. I think those fears are exaggerated.

As far as I know they can sit for life or until they drop out of their own accord which makes matters 'worse', depending on how you look at it.

Majority wins on supreme court decisions and they already had a majority... Why would they need to wait for an even larger majority to do something they could already do?

I suspect Trump will put up a fairly moderate female nominee and force any senate Dems (and waffling GOP) to go on record shooting her down.

And RBG CLEARLY didn't say that statement, or if she did it was in an opiate haze, because waiting for the NEXT president means that Trump being reelected wouldn't suffice to replace her. Any true lawyer wouldn't speak in such a sloppy way.

Anyway, seeing has how the DNC has strongly announced their intent to legally fight ANY election result that has Trump the winner, why wouldn't he get another SCOTUS pick in while he can? As usual, the DNC has boxed Trump in and forced him to make a single action out of self survival all while they bemoan him making that predetermined choice!
