I saw one of these on the way home last week. It's disgusting. No one is medically transitioning children. Puberty blockers delay hormones from putting people through puberty. To undo it, they simply stop taking the blockers and they'll mature normally. There's no issue here other than the bigots hand-wringing.

Absolutely, and what they're doing with these campaigns is making kids feel persecuted at the most insecure and emotionally fragile time of their life. All this anti-trans rhetoric from conservatives will cause irreparable harm to young people, and even lead to deaths. Not that they care, but I worry for my friends and family.

It’d be a shame if those buses got vandalized.

No, don't vandalize the buses. We need those.

Vandalize the ads.

[–] ElJefe@lemm.ee 14 points 2 months ago

Well, that’s what I mean. The ads on the buses. The buses themselves, no. We need those.

Advertising on buses, which includes both interior and exterior signs, complete bus paints, and full or partial bus wraps is contracted to:

Lamar Advertising 103-252 Pall Mall Street London ON N6A 5P6

Further information on space availability and costs can be obtained by contacting their office at the above address or by phone at 519-434-6086.

It would be a shame if people started bothering them constantly with complaints about these ads.

"MAKE kids be" would be less bullshit.

Paint over this shit. Buses don't move fast.
