news
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Point out that they don’t actually believe that. Like do they think that a kid with epilepsy shouldn’t be allowed to have medicine to prevent seizures? If a kid with severe allergies has an allergic reaction should they just die instead of taking an epipen? If a kid has type 1 diabetes should they be banned from taking insulin (a, gasp, hormone!!) lest it interfere with the natural behaviour of their pancreas? Heck, they probably even support puberty blockers as long as they’re for cis kids. Like if a 5 year old starts menstruating are they gonna say that everything's fine.
Chances are they don’t actually believe any of this and don’t actually think kids “shouldn’t be on drugs”, they just think trans people are scary and deviant and that our suffering is, at best, not real and at worst believe that we deserve it
