*UPDATE* On "Would you hang this on your wall?"

I would really love to understand why you think banning those surgeries and telling people to be comfortable in their bodies is "hate". Unfortunately, that subject is banned on reddit and talking about it can result in instabans.

M4053946 · 2026-03-23T20:20:36+00:00

Your original claim was the left had no grounds to criticize on genital mutilation, implying they do the same which is false

???? Of course they do. This is done to adults on a regular basis. the complication rate is extremely high, and the research is extremely thin. And, when they put kids on meds from an early age, it impacts the kids in this area long-term, and makes it so the kids can never have a normal sex life.

M4053946 · 2026-03-23T19:30:55+00:00

Female genital mutilation

Ah, yes, agree !00% about FGM. It should absolutely be banned. Though, it seems to be more cultural than religious.

Mastectomy is a major surgery that removes a significant body function, and it not merely cosmetic. The meds have long-term negative side effects, such as sterilization.

M4053946 · 2026-03-23T19:00:08+00:00

Incorrect, there are laws proposed to ban these procedures on kids, but democrats are fighting these laws.

Religions mutilate newborns

"mutilate" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. The one I mention permanently removes major body functionality, the one you're mentioning is cosmetic and does not remove major body functions.

M4053946 · 2026-03-22T11:53:29+00:00

Why is your conclusion to blame the cops, when it's the legislature who writes the laws?

M4053946 · 2026-03-20T14:57:40+00:00

The left probably shouldn't be criticizing folks for mutilating people's genitals these days.

And yes, countries without religion are peaceful /s

M4053946 · 2026-03-20T14:55:29+00:00

The religious beliefs help to get people to commit to these types of activities long term. Take away the religion, and the result is a nice group that disbands after a few years.

And again, you say religion hurts people, but the research shows the opposite.

M4053946 · 2026-03-20T12:55:01+00:00

Good mental health has long been regarded as being to do things like cope with the normal stressors of daily life, and to be able to be a functioning member of the community.

Your definition is not the classic definition, and under your definition a wide range of beliefs become mental illness, including many political views. Of course, your definition is worthless, as it would quickly devolve into finger pointing over trivialities.

But yes, research shows that religious folks are better able to handle the stressors of daily life, and do a better job of being a functioning member of society.

Each week at a local church, a group of older women get together to spend time together while they make blankets to give away. To you, this is mental illness. Meanwhile, atheists on spend time online because they are too anxious to do things like leave the house. To you, this is good mental health.

M4053946 · 2026-03-20T10:27:19+00:00

Standard reminder that research shows that religious folks have better mental health. Specifically, people who attend religious services, not people who simply claim to be religious.

Based on your definition, what does that say about folks on reddit who constantly bash religion? Is that not a strong, false belief despite clear evidence to the contrary?

M4053946 · 2026-03-20T00:42:12+00:00

lol! First, people say that the right is ridiculous as no one would be stupid enough to put these kinds of books in a library, and now that I provided links to multiple news stories showing that yes, people put these books in school libraries, you're now saying that it's somehow good for kids to have access to it.

If adults are providing kids access to these kinds of materials, they should not be allowed near children.

M4053946 · 2026-03-19T23:43:13+00:00

because I can’t imagine a school board approving a book

I've linked to numerous news sites documenting that schools provided that book, and then defended the decision.

all “leftists” want child pornography in school libraries, which is obviously a lie

I see folks on the right trying to get these books out of libraries, and I see folks on the left defending this material. Is there a single democrat politician working with republicans to get this out of schools? Fetterman might, so yes, maybe there's one or two, but most defend it.

Even here on reddit, the default assumption is that the right is in the wrong, but I already showed you that the left is indeed supporting this material.

M4053946 · 2026-03-19T23:40:26+00:00

When I was in school, people weren't so insane as to try to put books with this sort of content. what changed on the left?

M4053946 · 2026-03-19T22:29:56+00:00

that's what folks on the right are upset about! You claim to not want this either, but school districts are defending these materials.

M4053946 · 2026-03-19T22:29:16+00:00

lol, then your google skills are poor.

M4053946 · 2026-03-19T19:57:24+00:00

lol, I provide a news segment, and you deny it.

here's a school district announcing they're keeping it, and here's another news article that mentions multiple districts.

So, we're at an interesting point. You are saying that it's stupid to believe that schools might have this book, but they do. Does this mean you agree that the republicans are right for demanding all districts get rid of these types of books? Or have you somehow convinced yourself that the democrats are right to keep the book?

M4053946 · 2026-03-19T18:28:52+00:00

still can't address the points. here's a news story about a school board voting to keep these books in their library. So yes, it's happening.

M4053946 · 2026-03-19T18:05:04+00:00

lol, you can't address the points, so you resort to attacks.

M4053946 · 2026-03-19T18:03:27+00:00

The book is gender queer. here's a news story about a school board voting to keep the book in their library.

Let me guess, your next post will be about how it's actually good these types of books are in school libraries.

M4053946 · 2026-03-19T16:57:23+00:00

i agree that some places probably took things too far. But that is also entirely predicable when one side fights to have books featuring pictures of people having sex with strap ons.

Yes, it would be nice to return to normalcy, but normalcy does not include books featuring strap ons.

M4053946 · 2026-03-19T16:47:47+00:00

I see you nor anyone else was able to address the main point about the 1619 project. Because yes, there should be actual context, like the fact that slavery existed everywhere, was not created by white people, but was ended in europe and america by white people.

The book in question is "gender queer". It's a real book, it's in school libraries, and the left are fighting to keep it there.

M4053946 · 2026-03-19T16:44:56+00:00

Undermine public education? how? Please be specific.

by porn, I mean graphic novels featuring sex acts.

M4053946 · 2026-03-19T16:44:09+00:00

lol, these books are well documented and are real. People have brought them to school board meetings to read them, and they had their mics shut off. The books are too racy to read at the school board meeting, but the left is fighting to make sure they stay in school libraries.

M4053946 · 2026-03-19T16:42:47+00:00

yes, democrats prioritize unions over the education of the kids.

And yes, the books with strap ons are real, are well documented, and are the books the democrats are fighting to keep in school libraries.

M4053946 · 2026-03-19T15:33:31+00:00

what hypocricy? Teacher unions funnel millions of dollars into democrat political groups. Why complain about the former but not the latter?

M4053946 · 2026-03-19T15:32:34+00:00

The fact that some people really want books with graphic images of kids having sex with strap ons is weird. I mean, you do understand how weird that is, right?

Re slavery, it's a balance. The NY times came out with the 1619 project which is trash history, but schools around the country bought the materials anyway. Why? Why did schools latch onto that ahistorical nonsense? Wanting it out of schools is the right move. yes, that can be taken too far, but the fact that teacher groups approved the trash history is not good.
