We should strive to create a world of love and compassion. It may take a lot of time and effort, but it can be done.

The only thing he proved is that he doesn't like getting even the gentlest pushback on his opinions, or will go on weird rants about boards that have been closed for months now

He was talking about the users from that board. Not the board itself

I mean he's being proven right in the thread lmao

He said it in response to getting even the slightest pushback on his opinion.

It's people that react like that to pushback that apparently need the echo chamber.

You have to understand that is completely antithetical with how you post. You're rightfully upset about how this country is treating trans people, but you have almost exclusively come out against people who want to see you prosper.

rather than justcommitting to make their environments safe for us.

Again, they could very well be doing that anyway. But you can't pretend that, given the opportunity, getting "out of dodge" isn't salient advice. If you can't, alright, but you absolutely should not be admonishing people who do want to you to be safe because they're giving you general advice. Doubly so by wielding your identity as a club in an attempt to shame them for what they've said. You keep assuming the worst in people on this message board, ascribing qualities to them you can't possibly know they have.

Cool off. Please.

The last time blacks were knocked back down to second class citizens, it took 90 years to reverse itself (1877-1965). I don't expect minorities to see their rights returned to them in my lifetime. I myself expect to die seeing "Whites Only" signs.
I don't think it'll go THAT far. There's no putting that Genie back in that bottle (in our lifetimes , at least).Trans people, sadly, are a minority group that are generally disliked by whites, POC, lgb people, and the religious. They were always going to have it the hardest.

No, your logic here is bad.

Note that I said your logic, not your conclusion.

Arguing based on what something is called just opens the door to give something bad a positive sounding name. Focus on what it is. In this specific case it doesnt affect the conclusion too much, but come on, how often have you heard people (MAGAts especially) acting like the name of something is a final authority on whether the thing is good or not?

I think people here need to assume positive intent more often. Let's show each other a little more grace, especially because most of us are in broad agreement about societal issues.

I need this reminder sometimes as well

Yeah, that was a poor comparison considering DEI is exactly what it says on the label, and pro life very much isn't

About the only thing I agree with in that change is limiting the sale of chest binders to youths.

I'm not sure I would trust a kid buying a chest binder and understanding how to use it safely, nor would I trust Walmart to sell a chest binder that is safe to use in the first place.

The rest is nonsense, but at the very least the restriction on chest binder sales is a smart one, even if the restriction is for the entirly wrong reason.

Yes, guns actually kill people, including children. Literally daily, literally hourly.

But some children might also wrap a stretch of fucking cotton around their torsos, and that is far, far more dangerous.

Because...

Uh...

"Safety." Yeah, let's go with that.

I'm a champion of protecting kids.

Walmart is trash and has been since it first opened. I wish more people understood how the company has literally killed many local stores.

Not so sure anymore, if the term woke started appearing on TV, it is a matter of time to start appearing in politics for real.

I get that hurt people hurt, but there comes a time when we have to stand up to those taking out their pain and suffering on us,
Not surprising.
These corporations only did such things because they thought it would be profitable or they were getting paid to do it. If anyone ever thought they actually cared then hopefully they see corporations for what they are now.

He doesn't take anything out on me. We had a couple arguments years ago, but reconciled. I don't hold grudges.

He blocked me for doing exactly that, in his own words.

It's one of the funnier bits of hypocrisy from people here.

Well, he is a good person whether he ever takes his own issues out on others or not.

When I have seen him get in heated arguments, both people have contributed

This makes me wonder how Pride month is going to go. Will companies stop doing the rainbow thing? Because it seems like ever since Trump won, it's like companies and people are coming out of the woodwork and being terrible pieces of shits.

I don't think so, Pride Month was always used by corporations to pretend they care anyway.

If anything what I can expect is that most of the LGBT stuff will be specifically on Pride Month.

Did we have an argument like this before? Where you insisted someone can't be a good person and have done a certain transgression?

That is very judgemental and less something a "good person" would do.

I mean, if you relegate my level of goodness to the worst things I have done...

and theres a world of difference between doing a certain transgression once, or now and again, and doing the same transgression over and over and over as a pattern

I kinda agree. But I don't see him as that bad. Anyway, just try to not make sweeping negative generalizations about people. I can be guilty of this too.

The company who moves into small towns, destroys economies, disrupts the local environment by building on flood plains, and puts stores on top of indigenous burial grounds... decides not to continue pursuing equality initiatives.

Nope. Can't say I ever saw anything like that coming.
