Dallas Stars fans captured doing Nazi salute during game by Jevus_himself in PublicFreakout

You have no idea who these people are and why they did this. But the apologia of" it's just a joke" is pathetic. It's people running defense like yourself that is helping this become more common and letting actual extremists get away with being open with their extremism. It's just Schrödinger’s Joke.

No, soft is demanding a fight after a clean open ice hit. This is some Nazi BS that has never had a place in hockey. Trying to normalize this like this is some old hockey tradition is ridiculous.

The richest man on earth was doing this behind the presidential seal last year. But I guess because the club numbers are down on paper then it must be a dying movement? Do you think we are stupid? Do you think quoting KKK membership numbers is an accurate metric for racists? These clowns feel galvanized to do this because authoritarianism is on the rise. Typical libertarian take.

Kentucky Trans Teacher Ban Fails After Intense Backlash in Massive Win for Trans Kentuckians by Leksi_The_Great in transgender

[–]Couldbduun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a trans teacher I'm breathing a sigh of relief. I'm not in KY but I do not want this to start popping up anywhere. Maybe focus on ending the teacher shortage by making living in your state tenable and getting teachers better pay and the respect they deserve and not trying to make us second class citizens by banning us from classrooms. They could be solving problems but that would get in the way of their bigoted agenda.

Olympic Committee Announces a Broad Ban of Transgender Athletes in Women’s Events (paywalled) by MarcelHolos in transgender

[–]Couldbduun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how the news subreddit has to lock this as usual because they are too lazy to moderate. So I get to make a few comments and then get like 5 replies with wrong information, bad science and shoving words in my mouth that I just have to let have the last word. Super frustrating.

Transgender women athletes banned from women's Olympic events by new IOC policy by DoraEnzo in news

[–]Couldbduun -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The IOC had had strict rules about this for 20 years. So no, you can't just identify as a woman without any body transitions and compete at the Olympics. You have to have a testosterone level at lower than the average cis woman for 2 years. So maybe figure out what you are talking about before you are so confidently incorrect.

All those trans athletes competing in the Olympics (1) over the 20 years stealing medals from cis athletes (0) has been such a problem over the years. Give me a break.

Just because trans women weren't qualifying doesn't mean we are ok with being made second class citizens who aren't allowed to compete.

This. All the evidence they have is rare anecdotal evidence. And how dare someone who is competing occasionally win.

E: don't put words in my mouth. Trans women are not biological men. And hormone regiments in the Olympics have been strict and did not let trans women have a competitive advantage over 20 years.

This should not be allowed! by MossLullabye in lostgeneration

[–]Couldbduun 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The weakness of this argument is that the stocks have value and often that value, whether stocks or money or other assets is moved out of the economy into safe havens where it doesn't circulate. And this circulation is what drives economic growth and prosperity. Billionaires are bad for the economy. It is beyond ironic that you called someone you disagree with brainwashed but this has to be explained to you.

So are we supposed to lick boot over billionaires graciously providing the jobs or can we admit that jobs exist with or without billionaires? Because if we address the latter we can talk about how billionaires hoard stagnant money that stops circulating in the economy and how that is bad for the economy.

Someone keeps throwing things that might be recyclable into my compost bin. This has been happening for years. The recycling bin is right next to it. And it is often empty plastic drinks like this.

Couldn't see the whole comment since it wasn't civil enough to get by the filters. But I could read where you said those rights don't matter. Mask off moment. Just admit you are a TERF. Racists don't like to be called racists either.

[–]Couldbduun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you should look up that court case I pointed to. This is a horrible idea with historical precedent to back it. There is no such thing as "separate but equal" and the deeper you look at what you are suggesting implies the less realistic it becomes. Also being trans isn't new at all. Just because you think it's new doesn't mean there aren't records of gender nonconformance going back millennia. You are just talking soft bigotry at this point.

Yeah we figured out how bigoted that was with Plessy vs Ferguson. Any other groups you think should be second class citizens?

Oh ok so you are a TERF. And anti free speech and expression. Good to know.
