sorry but that's like saying that cocaine is legal in Italy because in an exceptionally limited set of cases it can be used for medical purposes under strict surveillance.yet you wouldn't find Italy "green" in a map of countries that legalized cocaine.btw I said my preference is for them to be banned, while I said experts elsewhere dramatically disagree with the experts cordie

You said most first world countries ban them… and no cocaine is not a good analogy because medicines are generally highly regulated. So you’re equivocating.

and yet "experts" cordie and trollson consider to be "always right" still go purely by self identification in democrat controlled states in the USA to prescribe puberty blockers and hormones.do we agree one of the two groups of experts is criminally wrong and it's impossible that they are both right or even both in good faith?the data is the same for everyone so it's either the

I find this argument dubious.

How could you do this cracker bargel

How could you do this cracker bargel

It is kinda funny how the "woke right" is pretty much the mirror image of the left wing moral panics and inquisitions we have been going through for the last 20 years. Completely arbitrary* and unpredictable when, where and why the mob will reach critical mass and decide to burn their witch at the stake.

*Well the Jaguar thing you could definitely see coming 1,000,000 miles away. But this "moral outrage" seems pretty benign and the mob justice arbitrary. Very similar to the innumerable "woke left" cancel campaigns.

Calling people you don't like a "contagion" or a disease is a longstanding tactic for fascists.

Which makes a fascist contagion by themselves too .


FWIW I just find it hilarious that hormones in the 80,90 was prohibited and very unhealthy bad for men teenager to take if they wanted to look like Arnold or Stallone .

But today , taking hormones to look like Jennifer Lopez for teenager boys it’s all good and not unhealthy , despite the change imo, being far more important and “different” with far more lasting “health issues “.

Yes. It seems that no matter who is in power we will perpetually be in this endless outrage cycle. And to the ones in power it will be justified because when they were out of power it happened to them.

That’s why I think these campaigns are better understood as mob vs anti-mob AND left vs right. There’s a sort of double axis going on here.

Nobody thinks that taking HRT is without negative health effects except maybe the most ignorant/delusional trans person. And even then it’s not presented that way to them by doctors, for the most part.

Probably the 'most stupidest' meme I've seen in a while.

One can certainly dislike something and/or find something or someone repulsive without "fearing" them.

This is middle-school level stuff. (If they're really , really dumb.)

The hippies tend not to go outside?

Hippies typically aren't leftists though. They are typically libertarian/anarchist.

How did you find out about my porn stash?

You guys always amaze me with how accurate your soul reads are. Have you ever tried playing poker?

I literally have no idea how CRD reached that conclusion about you vis-a-vis your contact with trans folks.


Trolly the type of fella to pay for an OnlyFans subscription and call it “mutual aid to a transmasc comrade” because she has “she/they” in her bio.

Fine, but you haven't explained WHY you think that about him. How can you even guess what "type of fella" Trolly is?

A massive part of why many of the laziest anti trans arguments are nonsense is because of how difficult hormone therapy is for the person going through it. Nobody is putting themselves through that to look at boobs in a locker room. Giving yourself ED isn’t conducive to sexual assault. Tanking natural T levels to that of a 12 year old girl isn’t great for performing well at sports.


in other news, german experts agree with cordie about trans-ness and prisons, and this is the result

Where does hatred of unknown people come from?


by jalfrezi

Where does hatred of unknown people come from?

I literally don't hate anybody, so I suggest you ask a hater instead. Maybe Luciom or Crossnerd?


Funny how no one ever admits to hating unknown groups of people, yet there's so much of it around.

Even Luciom would deny it, and probably cite Econ libertarianism as a justification for millions of planned deaths.

I don't know what you mean with that. Hatred is when you are willing to spend resources to actively damage someone, do you agree with these definition? if we do we can discuss, otherwise pls define hatred in an objective way and then we can try to discuss.

Being disgusted by something, not liking something and so on isn't hatred for me. Hatred is the willingness to destroy in part or entire someone, with no gain for yourself, because you literally enjoy inflicting pain on it (=hate).

The opposite of love, where you are willing to spend resources for someone just because that makes you happy.


We all know what hatred is, Luciom. Some words are so well understood they don't need one of your cack-handed economics definitions.


by jalfrezi

We all know what hatred is, Luciom. Some words are so well understood they don't need one of your cack-handed economics definitions.

so you think if you ask 100 people to define hatred against a group, from the far left to the far right, they will ALL AGREE IN DETAIL WITH NO DIFFERENCES about what that exactly means?

if the answer is NO, then it's objectively false that "we all know what hatred is".

Hatred is a heavily charged word with extreme political connotations these days (maybe since forever?) so unless you can provide an objective definition, it's useless to discuss "hatred for groups" (unknown or otherwise), as it's just about what you personally, arbitrarily, want hatred to mean.

Which i don't give a **** about.

If instead you can provide and objective, measurable, falsifiable definition, so that for any example we can be absolutely certain if the word applies or not, with no ambiguity, then we can discuss "people who hate unknown groups".

And btw no, for the left "refusing to help someone" can be hatred, for normal people it can never be

I guess 80% of the country hates the trans because they believe it’s unfair for men to compete against women including many women who are part of the LGB group
