I think a lot of the mods here have decided that anything that doesn't tow the party line is a bannable offense when it comes to race, identity, sexual orientation, nationality, and gender identity.
For example: I'm sure I'll get banned for saying these things but...
Sex and Gender are the same thing. You cannot change your gender or sex. If you want to live life as if you were another gender go ahead. Everyone should be able to live their lives however they want so long as they aren't harming others. Men participating in Women's sports is flat out cheating, just the same as steroid use is cheating. Many decisions regarding gender identity should wait until after you turn 18. Transgender people are factually wrong about their gender, but also having a psychologist try to convince them that they are the gender they were born as usually just results in suicide or depression. So for that reason I am in favor of "Gender Affirming Care". If someone needs to live their life as the opposite gender in order to be happy and not kill themselves, then that's fine by me. At the same time, though, nobody should be forced to use anyone's preferred pronouns. Everyone has a right to reality and forcing people to deny reality in order to satisfy someone else is beyond ridiculous. I'm an Athiest and I see being forced to use someone's preferred pronouns as just as much of an insult as being forced to pray at a company meeting.
If you entered the USA illegally as an adult of your own accord and do not have a valid asylum claim you should be deported without delay. If you overstayed your visa and do not have a valid asylum claim, you should be deported without delay. Immigration whether legal or illegal depresses wages by increasing the pool of job-seekers. Everyone should be paid a fair wage with reasonable working conditions. What often happens with immigration is that everyone is paid the same but the job conditions and wages do not keep up with modern standards. When you have 35 people applying for one job instead of 5 you can afford to have that job be the same pay rate for 30 years and have the working conditions and pace of the job slowly grow worse over the years.
I want to make another thread on the topic of how the Democratic party has been throwing elections by putting candidates with extreme views on immigration and gender identity on the ballot in red states. The problem is that like the mods on this site, nothing other than the party line is tolerated. But I'll save that for if I don't get banned. |
I am wondering if this is secretly an attempt to completely refute the OP, because damned if this doesn't demonstrate why its bullshit. Because I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're not an idiot. Assuming you're not an idiot, you know what kind of response your post is going to get. It's not going to further any actual conversation about moderation and politics, it's going to derail things. You didn't want to just give an example, you wanted to start an argument about trans people. In a place where it is entirely unwarranted. Of course, if you legitimately didn't want that outcome I apologize for my wrongful assumption. This is not a good faith post. This is being intentionally disruptive and antagonistic. So you should get banned. Then when you do you'll whine about how it was cause you don't have the correct political views rather than the fact that you're being a dick about it. |
I honestly don't care if a thread gets derailed a little bit. There's a difference between two people discussing water vs gatorade in a koolaid thread for a few posts and those same people arguing water vs gatorade for days.
It was never my intention to derail the thread on purpose. I don't really care if it does get derailed a little bit mind you. But to accuse me of trying to post this in the hopes that someone would argue with me for days on the trans issues and then ban me over it is silly. It's exactly the kind of psy-ops bullshit that mods ban people here for. And then when you ask which rules you broke, they point out the ambiguous rules that can be applied to anyone. And the best part? Those mods use their own bias to unfairly and disproportionately ban a side of politics that they don't like.
P.S. I usually vote straight democrat ticket. In fact I have never not voted straight Dem.
