Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

As long as these dipshit ugly republican women can freely make their face look like they're allergic to bees yet stuck their face in a hive, how about we just let people take hormones, which only affects themselves, to feel better?
Children getting treatment or not is a legitimate debate and it's not my call
But we let adults drink themselves to death, watch Fox news, gain 600 pounds, box each other, avoid brushing their teeth, get Botox, get plastic surgery, get tattoos on their faces, use antidepressants, decide to be Christian, damage their hearing at concerts, avoid working out, and any number of hundreds of things that some people find harmful.
But suddenly they draw the line if someone they never associate with wants to take medicine or alter themselves, affecting only themselves. Why? You never have to deal with them. Just let them live
Elon's hairplugs. Joe Rogan's roids. Trump's hair-replacement surgeries and shoe lifts. Andrew Tate's beard. Tim Pool's beanies. Little blue pills in every nightstand.
Right-wing men love to address their own dysphoria.
Well, if you're a loser you have to peak at some level. Still loser but you have more of something. Those people are heroes to them
You can be utterly stupid, annoying, ignorant, and revolting but there's a place for you to succeed. Losers need loser heroes
yeah have nothing against it.
also i like how they're screaming "My body, my choice", but shut up immediately as soon as trans people are mentioned.
I think that hrt should be limited to 16+ just like most other life changing decisions tho.
What they do with kids isn't transformative though. It's literally a pause so they can get counseling on how to proceed. Then when they're older and sure they either just unpause or start hormone transition. It's about not traumatizing them with a puberty going the wrong way. You can't just ignore it until 16-18.
They always have a rallying cry until it affects them then it's clear it was never about that. Always for prayer until it's not Christian. Always for states rights until a state wants to do something like legalize abortion. Always for freedom of speech until companies use it to set their own terms of service.
Just lying sacks of hypocritical shit. They're free to live the miserable, difficult, stifled, no fun life they've chosen to live. But that doesn't give them the right to force others into their hellscape
Respect!! You really pointed it good.
