This woman is heroic, and y'all know I do *not* throw that term around lightly as so many do now. She could comfortably enjoy old age, but instead she's still fighting for what is RIGHT at 100 years old. https://t.co/KRQFXVa9JU

Cops molesting kids is epidemic; just because some of them prefer to call the molestation a "search" doesn't make it a different issue. https://t.co/uKOtSJOQVl

If you really want a book for more than one-time light reading, you need to actually buy it. Kindle "buying" is really just a kind of renting from a lessor who can change the terms of the contract at any time, even to substituting a different text without your consent. https://t.co/IdG64L2nny

THIS. At one time, a prescription was simply a note from one professional to another, explaining exactly *which* drug the patient needed in clinical terms the patient could not be expected to understand or repeat accurately. Prohibition turned that into a legal document. https://t.co/mCc71HL81E

Whenever I see people surprised that "their" politicians behave exactly like everybody knows politicians behave, I'm reminded of a quote from Rita Mae Brown (not Einstein, sorry internet): "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results."

That's probably the most incompetent. But the most pretentious rhymes definitely come from Sting; I mean, rhyming "apprentice" with "Charybdis" and "shake and cough" with "Nabokov" is pretty impressively pompous.

Outrage based on conscious ignorance is driven by the need or desire to be outraged; it's that need which motivates the intentional ignorance. Therefore such outrage MUST be stronger than mere organic outrage, in the same way refined products are more potent than raw ones.

He "had to"? Was he forced to do so by an evil spell or Platonian psychokinesis? Were terrorists holding a gun to his head? Would someone have inevitably died had he not acted?

Phrasing this as "Americans buy more of one processed plant product with mood-altering effects that's disliked by some puritans than another processed plant product with mood-altering effects that's disliked by other puritans" really puts the absurdity of prohibition on display. https://t.co/R6x7LfOchO

Your regular reminder that trying to define other people's experiences for them, or claiming they're "wrong" because they're fine with experiences (*especially* sexual experiences) that YOU think would harm YOU, is the behavior of a creepy control freak.

Do you really believe that teenagers receiving “gender affirming care” decided to take such an irreversible step themselves, unbullied and with full understanding of what they will lose for the rest of their lives? Many people who “transition” regret it when it’s too late to undo, and the LGBTQ+ community doesn’t give a hoot except to demand they shut up. That is not real self-determination.
What I “really believe” is exactly what I fucking wrote. It is not a legitimate function of government to tell people what they can or cannot do with their bodies. If medical intervention is involved, that is an issue of medical ethics, not an excuse for government to expand its already-overbroad power to abduct offspring from their parents.
What fascinates me is how few people understand philosophical consistency, or even recognize it when they see it.
I can’t speak for what Maggie believes, but I can say that I really believe that teenagers receiving gender affirming care truly do make that decision themselves, unbullied, and with at least as much understanding of the consequences as they have with other medical procedures. It certainly makes more sense than the alternative idea that they’ve been pressured into it by others. What is the motive for this supposed ‘bullying’?
And according to what I’ve read, gender affirming care for minors usually consists of ordinary psychotherapy, and sometimes hormone-blockers, which are reversable.
Are you sure you’re not just caught up in a silly moral panic?
The motive, as near as I can tell, is to destroy western civilization by killing off or sterilizing as many of its people as possible so that the barbarian hordes can replace them. This is why the entire Great Reset is being attempted, and why the FBI has recruited and armed Antifa and BLM.
Sounds like that would take many thousands of people to pull of a plan of that magnitude. How do they get them to all work together without tipping off everybody?
I was under the impression that Transgender people are less than 1% of the population. I would expect that to take several generations to reduce the population significantly. Those barbarian hordes must be extremely patient.
Who are these barbarian hordes, and why are they so determined to ‘replace us’ (whatever that means), that they would put so much effort into such a complicated plan? Wouldn’t there be easier ways to lower the birthrate?
Have you heard of Occam’s Razor?
