A few lemmy mods are no better.
Is that so?
Somebody posted a picture of a Harry Potter book burning in what I believe was a bird bath.
I commented that it was ironic that two groups so diametrically opposed as those that don't like shitty TERFs, and crazy Fundamentalists that not only believe magic is real, but also Sinful, would protest the books in that way for such completely different reasons.
The person posting said something about "hurr durr mah both sides," some people corrected them that I wasn't saying they were the same, just that it was bizarre that they agree on something at all, much less that... and then the mod removed my comment (I believe the same that wrote the comment responding to mine).
So... sometimes mods here can show poor reading comprehension and remove things for no reason as well.
I get posts removed now and again. Just arbitrarily. The big subs are not too bad, but smaller ones are often vanity projects.
I was banned once for saying "there are only two sexes"
Probably because that's an incendiary pseudo-argument often used by bigots to deny someone's gender identity.
It's reality. Men who want to be like women, and vice versa, are finding out the hard way.
I'd rather be called a bigot than denying reality to satisfy the desires of fetishists online and the medical industry.
Imo, the biggest tragedy are all the kids that get groomed into undergoing "treatment" for gender dysphoria. Like puberty blockers and even surgery.
You are being a bigot BY denying the parts of reality that don't fit your narrow and factually inaccurate worldview.
You are accusing me of being biased, meanwhile these articles are extremely biased.
I already elaborated on this in previous posts, but the gist of it is that you cannot build a society with all its various systems without having a practical conceptualization of what humans are. This is why your idea of gender-nonbinary, which is impractical to accept wholesale, will never go beyond the bedroom, niche parts of the medical industry, and maybe some transtoilets here and there. 99% of the world will still run based on the concept of two sexes, because it aligns better with reality, because it's what's practical.
In times of prosperity, you can afford to play around with these ideologies (at the expense of some boys and girls), but once that prosperity ends due to war or similarly unfortunate events, all these ideas go out the window!
A bias in favor of scientifically accurate reality isn't a bad thing. Bigotry is.
Absolute nonsense from start to finish.
Just because you're used to things working a certain way doesn't mean that it has to be that way. Similar arguments have been used against things like abolishing slavery, women entering the workforce and the concept of secular education.
Turns out that those things ENRICH society rather than break it. Just like allowing people the gender identity that feels natural to them and respecting that reality.
Again, same old "society can only work if we don't change it to be more open towards people different from me" bigoted bullshit that has been spouted since marginalized people first started getting any rights.
True.
Slavery as it existed in the 1700s wasn't abolished because the rulers had an epiphany and realized the errors of their ways. It was (mostly, not entirely) abolished for practical reasons. Institutionalized slavery still exists. You have prison labor in countries like the US. We also see outsourced slavery to more degenerate countries like China, where they do have actual slaves or laborers who are slaves in every way but name. Have you ever heard of slave free cotton, or slave free cocoa? These words exist because slavery is not gone. Companies and us consumers around the world are indirectly benefiting from slave labor till this day. I have to look long and hard to find stuff that are more ethically produced, you should know that it's hard. We also see sex slavery, which intersects with the porn industry. Some of the women in porn could be trafficking victims. I wonder if liberals who goon to porn understand that.
Women working corporate jobs has brought a lot of economical advantages, no doubt. They pay taxes, they increase productivity, they saturate the job market, etc. But it came at the expense of the family unit, and birth-rates. You have a rising percentage of older people needing care, and a less percentage of younger people to care for and replace them. This is one reason why many western countries are inviting immigrants, to keep things sustainable. But for how long?
Women working is not a new phenomena. Child-rearing, taking care of the husband, taking care of the home, and doing everything a housewife does is a full-time job. It's an honorable job. You seem to have no issue with a woman being obedient to a boss in a corporation, and keeping a smile at all times lest she gets fired. But if it's her husband that she obeys, you suddenly get your panties in a twist.
It's so natural in fact, that we have an unprecedented number of "trans-youths". I wonder why. Maybe previous generations were just too scared to get out of the closet. Or maybe, it is because young boys and girls are being indoctrinated.
Go and tell that to Ukraine.
Because society has evolved to the point that more people can come out as trans without fearing violence from bigots like yourself.
There isn't suddenly more trans people. People who would be trans no matter what are just being open about it to a larger degree for the abovementioned reason
Bingo. Better stop there.
Nope, more bigotry. That's exactly what your fellow bigots say about gay people. Do you believe there's a sinister "gay agenda" where people are trying to turn kids gay too?
Tell the country Ukraine what? That Russian imperialist aggression is because trans people? WTF are you smoking??
Fixed it for you.
First link is a retracted study, the other is an article about gender dystrophy becoming a more common diagnosis as it's become easier to identify than before. At no point does the article support your bigoted hypothesis that it's all down to indoctrination.
Absolute nonsense.
Bullshit.
The only ones intruding are bigots trying to force their 1950s gender roles on their children, teachers, doctors, scientists and others who know better.
True. Most sane people would agree with me that disinformation-addled bigots are trying to hijack education, science including but not limited to medicine and politics to force their regressive ideology on everyone
Fixed that for you too.
A Ph.D. in political science doesn't make you a doctor
Aand there's the "gay people rape children" smear 🙄
BTW, if I was him, I wouldn't mention "pedophile" and "God" in the same sentence. What with the Catholic Church being the biggest child molester factory in the world and most other Christian, Muslim and Jewish denominations having more than their share of rapists too.
Wow. This guy is disgusting. This is what you show me to SUPPORT your argument??
As a pacifist, I am against Ukraine forcing anyone to kill and be killed against their will. It's an atrocious thing to do to anyone whether trans or cis and arguably a human rights violation, especially when they're forcing people to stay rather than affirm their right to seek asylum elsewhere.
Now please leave me alone and have the day you deserve.
Causing children to be confused about their sexual identity by indoctrinating them with queer theory is not merely "increasing visibility to destigmatize trans people".
If you look closely, the redacted part was personal information that participants in the study may or may not have consented to share. So it was redacted for their privacy. It's explained, one link away.
It shows how the number of minors receiving hormone therapy for gender dysphoria have been increasing between 2017-2021. An increase in gender dysphoria among the youth correlates with the push of queer theory in schools.
Fine, you can believe what you want.
I didn't say he was a medical doctor.
I didn't say that. I was speculating about what might motivate someone to push such ideologies. It's worth noting that John Money (who coined the term "gender role") and Alfred Kindsey were both pedophiles. So it's not completely out of question.
Citing from John Money's Wikipedia page:
I have no idea what's going on in these people's heads. Maybe it's money. Maybe the women who participate in this hate little boys. I don't know. But considering the outcome of this ideology, I'm certain that they are motivated by selfishness more so than helping kids.
"A God-sent" is another way of saying it "would make them very happy". Maybe said person doesn't believe in God at all.
Likewise.
Deserved lol
