Well, those are the same people who want their life choices to be validated by fictional characters. I dunno, what it's to be so pathetic and stupid.

The Ezra miller story seems to lend credence to the 'mental instability' of trans people.

[Leo656]

I thought Ezra was just really, really, REALLY gay?

do really really really gay people want to wear makeup like a woman?

[Leo656]

Some of them apparently do, yes!

Pretty much! There's gay and then if they level up a bit there's like... Liberace Gay, up the ladder. Which is where you start seeing that.

Goodness gracious.

Washington state, Oregon teach kindergartners 'there are many ways to express gender'

Public schools in Washington state and Oregon are teaching topics related to gender identity to children as young as 5.

The Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), which oversees K-12 education in the state, defines "gender" as "a social construct based on emotional, behavioral and cultural characteristics attached to a person’s assigned biological sex." The OSPI set health education standards for all public schools in 2016, requiring children in kindergarten and first grade to learn that "there are many ways to express gender," while children in second and third grade are taught that "there is a range of gender roles and expression."

A nation of illiterate high school graduates and an economy that's almost 100% dependent on foreign countries' imports. But sure, yeah, this is really giving kids a head start on the important stuff.

I agree with the sentiment that gender is a social construct and that it is not necessary to stick to "gender stereotypes".

However, I am fairly sure that it has nothing to do with freedom from stereotypes and everything to do with peddling trans ideology and serving as "preparation" to brainwash kids into supporting trans freakery.

Which is not something, which should be pushed neither on kids, nor on adults, because, its nothing, but mental illness turned religion and brings nothing, but more pain and grief for everyone involved.

Just curious, if you had your way in the world with all the power to spare, would you have anything done in order to stop the spread of trans ideology? I know I certainly would.

Doesn't belong in the classroom. Period.

It's hard to know for a fact because people on Twitter are different once the computer is off, or at least I would hope, but a lot of these people seem to have no personality other than their gender and sexuality. Like if they introduce themselves to you they just can't wait to blurt out that they're transgender, pansexual, polyamorous, and go by xhir pronouns and whatever else. It's like their entire identity is about that. I feel part of the reason some of them are even legit crying and breaking down at the fact they won't be able to bring that up in the classroom is because that is legit all they think about, all they are. That might be the reason why they're so bad at writing gay characters and whatnot in fiction, because gay becomes their entire personality.

IMO it kinda sounds like they themselves are bored with teaching kids about whatever subject they're supposed to work on (a math teacher teaching math, a English teacher teaching how to read and whatnot) and just can't wait to tell kids (or anyone that will listen) just how amazing it is to be this, that and the other.

Of course, they don't see anything wrong with it cause 'they're the good guys', 'right side of history' and all that ********.

Very much so. And this bleeds over into the arts, the LGBTQ characters they create or revamp. And if you notice they'll just fake giggle and go, "Why are you so worried about it?" (hint: they are the ones worried about you noticing it)

A very bizarre thing to be prideful about. Used to be you could have dinner or hang out with just about anyone and "let me tell you what sort of people I like to put my genitals in" would be like the last thing imaginable that would come up by any party there. Now it's one of the first, with the weirdos.

Bizarre, on its face, from any objective standpoint.

A very detailed and objective study to prove that trans is just a mental illness. With results and analysis available to everyone for free.

As well, as set of laws to punish "parents" who feed their underage kids hormones or castrate them.

If any freakshow opens their mouth and say that, say, "at the age of 5 kid can say that they want to eat hormones to become a different sex" this person should face consequences for proposing child abuse.

"Sexuality and race" had replaced subcultures like Goths, Punks, Emos and the like. Its just being Punk or Goth doesn't require specific pronounce or genital mutilation and doesn't have long-term effects on one's psyche.

But like subcultures of the past, this whole LGBBQ* shebang is all about giving normal and boring people a chance to become colorful retards, just to feel themselves special and above the crowd.

The discussion about it has become much more toxic, because, it deals with much more sensitive materials like race and sex and those SJW freaks and their handmaidens don't understand that a lot of people do not like, when bunch of pretentious self-important idiotic parrots are trying to dictate them who they want to be. Or who their kids should be.

- How do you know your friend is a Vegan?
- Its the first thing he says anywhere he go.

It boils down to arrogance and self-importance. Like I said above, BKMLGBPPP/ is a replacement for subcultures and it replicates them to a T, including arrogance of its members who think they are "above stupid plebs". Which where "right side of history" comes from.

It is significantly worse, though since, those people get into politics and try to reshape world into their own ****ed degenerate image.

[Coola Yagami]

I never thought of it that way, but I guess the whole multi-gender, any sexuality that isn't straight, feminism, being vegan and all the other things have become the modern day 'I'm goth/scene/grunge' etc, except now it's taking things to the extreme where now you have to actually suck a dick or lose yours to be 'one of the cool kids'.

I've been saying that here for years. It's replaced the cliques entirely. It's no longer, "Are you a goth, a geek, a jock, a skater, or a gangsta?" Now it's, "What is your gender identity and how do you feel inside?"

[Coola Yagami]

It wouldn't be so bad if straight folks weren't demonized as a result. Like back in the day, if you're not goth, well... you're not getting threatened or whatever just because you won't be one, nor will people call you this or that if you choose to not date or sleep with a goth.

The key issue is for all the tolerance they want, they really don't know how to 'live and let live'.

I like how the phrase 'it's ok to be white' once caused a lot of backlash, but eventually we're gonna get just as much backlash for 'it's ok to be straight' or currently 'it's ok to be a woman'.

[Sumac]

Yeah, that part surprises and saddens me as well.
Not only it goes against notion of equality and empathy (even though most of those special snowflakes are into this toxic ideology, not because of them), but it is also ludicrous.

Like why being a straight angers those freaks, much less saying that you are a normal woman? Not only those trashbrains act like people their demonize, but it doesn't give any incentive to take them seriously or treat them as if they had any ground to talk.

So Disney loses its "sovereign nation" status, is gonna end up paying a ton more in state taxes, and might end up leaving Florida altogether in search of a more accommodating place to set up shop. Which in turn will completely cripple the state economy of Florida.

To think. All That could have been avoided if they didn't buckle to a handful of pink hairs who think it's SO F*CKING IMPORTANT to talk about gay/trans stuff with 5 year old kids that they're ready to go to war over it.

Disney had the right idea initially. Just Say Nothing. A billion-dollar corporation with global reach has nothing to gain by "taking a stand" on sensitive political issues, no matter how much a minority of people scream about it. All those lunatics screaming about how Disney "Needs to do the right thing!" The "right thing" was to say nothing at all. Now they're f*cked, and likely all of Florida is too, if they pack up shop and leave. Oops.

All because some gay/trans people are SO f*cking insecure they think it's appropriate to start indoctrinating Kindergarten-aged children into their worldview. Which is flat-out wrong to do on any level, and anyone who says/thinks otherwise is also f*cking wrong. There's nothing wrong with people being gay, but these aren't topics that belong in a f*cking Kindergarten classroom under any circumstances. It simply isn't appropriate. You shouldn't be talking about "regular" sex with kids that young either, for the record. It should not be part of school curriculum for that age group. End of f*cking story. If you think otherwise, you shouldn't be allowed around kids.

When kids start hitting puberty, there's a ton of age-appropriate movies and TV shows out there that can "send the message" that it's OK to be Gay. That's good, that's fine. 10-13 year old kids, different story altogether. SO many parents have always felt like, "Well, I can't trust anything in the world to be wholesome entertainment for my 5-year old, but I can always trust Disney." Now they can't even say that. I empathize. Some of my friends who are parents, that's all they'd let their under-10 kids watch is Disney stuff, because it was "safe". I don't know what they're gonna do now.

So much ballyhoo about something that shouldn't even be a conversation. No "sex ed" for 5 year olds. Period. Disagree, and You Might Be A Pedo, or at the very least you have an unhealthy preoccupation with kids' acceptance of Adult Sexual Behavior and that's also suspect as hell.

This right here is exactly why so many people look at LGBTQ+ people as "deviants". Now, *I* don't think that. But the fact they're fighting so hard on this kind of thing does them no favors at all.

Tough times ahead for The Mouse. But it's their own fault for bending over for a group that makes up less than 5% of the global population.

[Andrew NDB]

Disney isn't leaving Florida. Can you imagine the cost for Disney to up and abandon Disneyworld and what, rebuild it from scratch somewhere else? Somewhere less desirable, even?

The trouble with this is that it should have been something to hold over Disney. Like, "you better knock this sh** off, or we'll do X." Not even giving the threat and just doing X doesn't accomplish much and doesn't give Disney any incentive to not just continue business as usual, because they no longer have anything they can lose.
