Well done.

I bought a doormat there the other day that said gayest place in town. Their LGBTQ+ stuff actually ruled

Most people dont personally know a trans person like as a friend or acquaintance, but most everyone has almost certainly encountered a trans person or people at some point. Many live stealth or are otherwise not visibly trans.

HRT will make you go through puberty and your biological sex will change, with the expression of genes determined by the dominant sex hormone. Combined with a little effort in presentation and many/most trans people arent noticeable after some time, particularly with folks who are trans masculine or men who are trans. Basically anyone who starts at their first puberty, rather than going through two, is going to be passable, though this is much less common due to all the stigma and transphobia that runs throughout society.

Lots of people falsely believe transitioning is primarily or exclusively about getting surgery, or believe that they can always tell if a person is trans or not. We like to joke amongst ourselves about all the misconceptions cis people have about trans people.

You've really toned down the aggression since your last spanking, haven't you? This is weak compared to your usual hyper aggressive chuddery.

Good post. And I could have been more clear in what I meant.

But you'd have to agree the exposure certainly is not deep enough to warrant such hate that permeates the GoP. It makes much more sense as something they tell their base think if anything.

Not that "exposure" would lead to hate either... just that even in their twisted bigotry, they are missing steps imo.

Might want to read up on the definition of "claim" :)

That's different. Not having liquor stores near schools makes sense. That isn't even what he's talking about.

And it's not even a state-wide Illinois thing, cause that's certainly not the case down here.

I wonder if this is one of those cases were right wingers would gladly be like "we need to arm the employees!" like they do with teachers.

What's your definition of fascism please explain

What's your definition of fascism please explain

The far right is trying to prohibit any person or corporation from having pro LGBTQ+ representation on their personhood, product or business.

Teachers in some states are now prohibited from using rainbow stickers in school.

so many of these supposedly veteran accounts are stolen valor too...

The anti-trans stuff going on, tells me all I need to know about how the world would react to space aliens landing or jesus coming back to earth. Neither would elicit good actions from our leaders.

It shouldn't be framed this way, because it's only a specific section of our leaders that would fuck everything up.

Dude, if the evangelicals had their way and Jesus Christ made his second coming tomorrow, the assholes would crucify him again.

The man distributes free health care, free food to all, advocates for sex workers, the diseased, and the outcasts, condemns the rich, tears down big business, and tells people to unconditionally love each other, and to not enforce Christianity through force.

He'd be destroyed for being a fucking woke Communist hippie, to these people. Lord forbid he's anything other than Scandinavian White.

Target Removes All Towels From Stores After Soaking-Wet Lunatic Objects To Dryness

MINNEAPOLIS, MNBowing to the demands of the pro-moist movement, Target reportedly removed all towels from stores Thursday after a soaking-wet lunatic objected to dryness. We apologize to the sopping individual who felt angry and threatened by our promotion of dryness, said Target CEO Brian Cornell, explaining that the towels were never meant to force a bone-dry lifestyle on any sopping maniac who chooses to douse themselves in water and rampage through the store. Just know, we at Target hear you, sopping-wet Americans. You came out wet, you live wet, and you intend to die wet. And we respect that. Nowhere is more accepting of shoppers who make sloppy puddles wherever they go. At press time, Target mandated that all employees should be drenched from head-to-toe.
