Bill Maher is getting old and he's starting to realize that the world isn't the same as it was 20-30 years ago when being "liberal" meant that you were anti-war, pro-freedom of speech, and you distrusted big corporations and the three letter agencies.
Well unfortunately even 20-30 years ago, those so called "liberals" also endorsed the Marxist welfare state, the fascistic centralized regulatory bureaucracies, the Marxist progressive income tax, authoritarian environmentalism and the 18th century Prussian model of compulsory state education.
In other words, Bill Maher was either too stupid to detect the strong authoritarian streak underneath Democrat policy since at least Woodrow Wilson, or he was ok with it.
One of the reasons the left keeps winning is their “no enemies on the left” attitude. Another is that they are willing to work incrementally. It behooves us to take temporary allies wherever we find them. When a left/liberal opposes the trans agenda, we should cheer, not sneer.
Kids want attention. Especially teenage kids. If they aren't getting the right amount and the right kind of attention at home, then they will seek it out any way that they can.
Currently, being a faggot isn't edgy enough anymore. Everyone's a fucking faggot these days, so they have to be even edgier than faggotry to get attention, and that is currently transfaggotry.
The System (teachers) break down kids' minds with all the racism, sexism, climate change, gender stuff. They make the kids feel guilty for stuff that they had nothing to do with and no longer exists.
I think some of it is just a way of coping. "I can't be a racist oppressor if I'm trans, because all trans are victims of the Patriarchy! See? I'm a victim too! Pleas let me in your club..."
Can confirm. My wife has a coworker who has five kids. One of the sons recently “came out” as a tranny. Now that kid is the only one the coworker ever talks about. He obviously wasn’t getting the attention he wanted from his parents, but he sure is now.
When I was a teen, poser was used for ppl who wore skateboard brand clothing but couldn’t ollie or sustain a manual if their life depended on it. The worst offenders would go so far as to scratch the underside of their board to feign their ability to do various slides and grinds.
I remember that too.
Your take is spot on.
I was a skater. Wore baggy clothes.
Rodney Mullen was my inspiration.
Still skate once in a while but catching a shin or falling down hurts more now that I'm older.
But i can still do some tricks.
Over time the word has morphed into anyone faking something they do for others approval.
I think that before then, the term poser was used by punks and metalheads to describe people who wore Ramones or Iron Maiden shirts but weren't actually fans of the band.
You are correct i remember that too!
My older brother was more into the punk scene. His friend was punk before punk was trendy/cool and his little brother was my friend and a skater. Late 70's into the 80's.
I remember as a kid i was frightened and fascinated by this punk. He had 12" mohawk and spiked leather jacket and combat boots.
Listening to sex pistols or misfits and others. And really crazy thing is he'd pull hot chicks that didn't look like they were into that kinda dude.
He'd use Knox gelatin and eggs to stand his hair up. Back then we could ride in the back of the trucks and his hawk would stay straight up on the freeway.
Back in the 1980s Heather Locklear was the ultimate clean-cut, all-American cheerleader type girl. She married Tommy Lee from Motley Crüe, a long-haired, tattooed rock star.
In Motley Crüe's autobiography, Tommy Lee himself seems puzzled that Locklear married him. He figures that she did it mainly to piss off her dad.
I was always jealous of of skaters as a teen. I couldn't even make a skateboard go straight. 🤣 But I never got tempted to "Fake it".
In defense of skating, it requires skill and exercise, both of which are good for you as long as you don't crack your head open. Why can't kids have such hobbies again?
(Meanwhile, my kid and I have started a little garden.)
Yep. The 1990s teenagers who wore trench coats and listened to Nine Inch Nails did it mainly to freak out their parents, just like trans kids are today. But those 1990s teenagers didn't permanently mutilate their own bodies, aside from the ones who may still have an embarrassing tattoo from those years.
Kids always rebel against the perceived mistakes of their parents. The question is how? What do they see as the "mistake" of the previous generation? What life do they want to make for themselves?
Being trans or 'gender non binary' is the new Goth/Emo. It is the alternative culture for outcasts. But now they are trying to push it on ALL children. Goth/Emo wore dark make up and cloths, they didn't chop off body parts and take hormones.
It's funny because dating women in the mid nineties I remember being frustrated that all of a sudden every girl was bi. Not that they had any sex with another woman but they were bi because they might have kissed a friend drunkenly on a dance floor once. I can definitely see the progression.
David Ruben has been saying this for years. It's more acceptable to be trans and attracted to "opposite sex" than gay.... Making it a threat against the gay community.
In reality, both are rare abnormalities and should be treated as such.
This is just a fact. I even asked a friend who's daughter is "trans" she said it's just like when she was a kid and was goth or emo. Most of these kids don't want to chop their dicks off or take hormones, they're participating in yet another corporate fad. I'm not trying to minimize how serious this is, but I do also think it's mostly just a fad.
I know a biological woman, who "identifies" as a man even though she's clearly feminine and is engaged to marry a biological man who "identifies" as a woman. So basically they're a straight couple that is crossdressing to virtue signal their retarded woke political opinions.
So yes, this is concerning, and many will irreparably harm themselves... but I think the vast majority of "trans" youth are participating in a cringe fad, and in the future they'll be just as embarrassed as people now who were into that goth emo shit 20 years ago.
Very true. At our towns school, they just had to allow 10th and 9th grade to attend prom because so many of the "girls" decided that they were either lesbians or trans that the senior/junior males went to administration and told them they had nobody to go with so if a 10th or 9th grader was asked by a 12th or 11th grader, it was allowed. Pathetic.
I cannot even fathom being peer pressured into doing something so extreme that goes against every natural instinct . The psycopharmasueticals(sp) that have been consumed by these children must have a big impact on their decision making.
He's right

Either way, fuck Bill Maher.
I was a liberal too, like him.
Fuck Bill "Kid Love" Maher. Faggots need to stop posting his bullshit.
Bill Maher is a reptilian trans human

It's also a way for white people to get points in the oppression Olympics.
This is it right here. It's all rigged to make us infertile degenerates.

Years of adderal and Zoloft can’t help with standing up to peer pressure either.
Absolutely. My daughter, who is in high school, told me it’s trendy to be gay/bi/trans, etc.
It's more contagious than COVID.
And has a higher death rate too.
Trans-trender is the new epiphet for "poser." Only difference is, posers don't pump themselves full of HRT and then kill themselves.
This. Every generation has something stupid that is trendy. Transgenderism is the only one that will get kids mutilated or dead later in life.

Thug/ghetto trend claimed many victims, too.

But those 1990s teenagers didn't permanently mutilate their own bodies, aside from the ones who may still have an embarrassing tattoo from those years.
It was parachute pants for us. No one ended up dead either.
Transtrender is funnier and more specific.
Bill Maher has been saying a lot of reasonable things lately.
It's an act. He was willing to destroy the economy and have everyone lose their jobs if that was what it took to remove Trump from office.
Trans is the new goth.
Probably more like the new emo. It was also a passing current thing.
Jokes on them all, Christians are trendy again
Read somewhere that conservatism is trendy with the younger generation as well. We can only hope.
Side note: MS Word suggests "liberalism" is a synonym for conservatism. Not an antonym, a synonym. What?!
Kids always rebel against the perceived mistakes of their parents. The question is how? What do they see as the "mistake" of the previous generation? What life do they want to make for themselves?
This is why I swear by The Fourth Turning.
It IS trendy....my 13 year old grandson told my daughter "I think I want to be trans". Her response? "KNOCK IT OFF!!!!"
"CHOP IT OFF!!!" lmao
Being trans or 'gender non binary' is the new Goth/Emo. It is the alternative culture for outcasts. But now they are trying to push it on ALL children. Goth/Emo wore dark make up and cloths, they didn't chop off body parts and take hormones.
Sure sliced ‘em up pretty good. Forearms looking like etched tally charts.
It's funny because dating women in the mid nineties I remember being frustrated that all of a sudden every girl was bi. Not that they had any sex with another woman but they were bi because they might have kissed a friend drunkenly on a dance floor once. I can definitely see the progression.
That's why you don't let your kids go to public school
There is no other way there can be so many of them except peer pressure.
It's also a way out of the guilt and shame they try to make middle class kids feel
I can't wait until he has no choice but to admit that Trump was right about everything.
David Ruben has been saying this for years. It's more acceptable to be trans and attracted to "opposite sex" than gay.... Making it a threat against the gay community.
In reality, both are rare abnormalities and should be treated as such.
Hes not wrong, but Im not giving him much credit being 10 years late.
Every once in awhile Bill Maher says something that is accurate. Too bad most of everything else he says is bullshit.
This is just a fact. I even asked a friend who's daughter is "trans" she said it's just like when she was a kid and was goth or emo. Most of these kids don't want to chop their dicks off or take hormones, they're participating in yet another corporate fad.

3 minutes later derides Musk for leaving the Democrat voting train.....

No shit. They're pretty much all transtrenders.
If by "trendy," he means "intentionally promoted by groomers," he's right.
Trendies are always faggots.
I was saying this years ago. Peer pressure. Insidious.
Kids are coming out as trans because they are being mentally and/or sexually abused by groomers/pedophiles like Maher and his degenerate friends.
No shit! It’s like everyone has to have their own “issue”.
This much is obvious.
