There has also been spikes in obesity from being indoors and anxiety eating. Increased obesity raises the risks for diseases that make you more susceptible to the virus and in and of themselves kill more people everyvyear than covid ever thiught about.
Also IT Pede, while it is unwieldly, you can still go to websites without domain name service, though many sites do not allow direct ip access for security reasons. Perhaps we should have some backup plan, private dns servers or direct IP site mirrors so in the even of a delisting everyone could get to information.
Because the left has been spewing their vulgar verbal diarrhea about vote supression and racism for years, saying if you do anything whatsoever to make elections more secure, you are a racist. Even though i would argue it is more racist to imply minorities cant follow rules or do anything even remotely complicated or requires any effort. I mean they say with a straight face that the ease of voting from home via mail mustve made millions more black people vote, and in previous elections theyve always claimed if there isnt a polling location outside of every black persons house they wont possess the means or motivation to go vote. How is that not racist, i will never understand.
I dont think it is a forgot situation. The sheer volume of votes it took to beat trump wouldve shofted the senate and house deep blue and they knew fraud of that level would have had the entire GOP fighting mad and screaming from the rooftops. However if the GOP just loses the presidency and picks up mostly gains elsewhere, i thino the DEMs correctly predicted that the GOP establishment wont fight for trump, they will hang him out to dry.
Any business has an obligation to accomodate its customers. If they expect to use the main bathroom in an area where a majority of customers are not comforable with that, then they could offer a separate bathroom and if theybdemand more then yes that is unreasonable.
I just covered the identity appearance stuff, that isnt true of trans, maybe some that claim to be trans or were just kind of confused and got swept along, but actual trans was defined as a mental illness similar to ocd and anorexia, a dysmorphia. There is a whole class of trannies that havent had one irreversible thing done, they could go back to living as a man at any point with no issue. Those arent trans, they get made fun of a lot for being trend followers but they usually grow out of it or otherwise cut out the charade.
Yes there are a lot of aspects to good parenting but a lot of parents just dont parent at all. You would be surprised how many supposed right wing, republican voting, christians, dont even taken their kids to church except maybe 2 major holidays per year, much less even teach them anything about it.
Building a moral base into a kid takes work, and if you just say "dont do x, it is wicked" that accomplished nothing. They need to understand why.
I take a strong stance on this because it is one of a bunch of things the right moralizes on, often acts like babies flinging ad hominem and abandoning all logic and reason, degrade themselves to the level of the left on, shit themselves and then ignore all of the more pressing issues at hand. Can we all agree that trannies peeing in a bathroom you dont prefer is about 1/1,000,000th as important as kids being allowed, and encouraged to transition as children, and parents being stripped of their parental rights if they dont go along with it and cheer?
Being reactionary towards the results of a degrading society dont fix the actual problems and in most cases we waste a lot of time as a group on being outraged at things that are inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, is about on par with the left, it is virtue signaling to other conservatives like the left does, saying you conserved a thing because you call people faggots on the internet but that doesnt actually fix anything.
It is like the people cncelling their netflix subscription over cuties while their children are posting them dancing to WAP on tik tok while they do it. It doesnt fix any core issues, it is a waste of focus, taking the eye off of the ball. There are many slippery slopes that our society is presently bobsledding down, bathroom usage isnt really one of them, its crap for televangelists to foment over.
Its pretty easy when your boss is also a trump supporter, and probably 3/4 of the fanbase. Not to discredit him, i applaud his stance, but its not as brave as say....a well paid google engineer writing a 10 page memo about biological preferences inside a liberal hivemind and being promptly vilified, fired and blackballed by the entire tech and academic community for it.
I think it is more of a psychological thing, antifa goons are fine with hurting other people when they have the odds in their favor but are afraid of getting hurt so if there is even numbers or they are out numbered, and thebither side isbwilling to forcefully resist, they mostly wilt and run away. If they have a professionap fighter standing in front of them, plus outnumbered, they will almost certainly run.
What is stopping them now though? There is no bathroom security guard that checks gender, never has been. The only thing that ever stopped the wrong gender in the wrong bathroom was someone yelling at you to get out, or going to get a manager if some creep is in the womens bathroom and wont leave. Many stores have bathrooms in the back of the store that are secluded. Same thing at some public parks. Nothing whatsoever is stopping a pedo or rapist from following someone in the bathroom and assaulting them there. It isnt like the only thing stopping this from happening is bathroom policy. It at best would give a bad guy a slightly better sneak attack, but they could already get away with this by simply doing a good enough costume to get in unnoticed. Trannies had been using public bathrooms of the opposite gender unnoticed for many years before this became a hot button issue. Nobody even recognized it was an issue until activists started pushing to have tranny bathroom use officially recognized.
I can see what you mean by normalizing but if they are grown adults they are free to make their own choices as bad as they may be, and if they are paying customers of a store thebstore has an obligation to accomodate them in some way if possible. If their demands are reasonable and can be accomodated that is, i know often their demand is to go to whatever bathroom they want, in outspoken protest against everyone else's feelings on the matter. Believe me, i am not a fan of that. People trying to order me around automatically makes me want to do the opposite.
It is not contageous, those kids that are wanting to transition were brainwashed by their liberal scum parents, or their parents failed them in a big way. I think 99% of the time if you look, most kids that say they are trans have one or both parents that are leftist nuts, and filling their head with stupid ideas and then reinforcing whatever comes of it. There have even been situations where kids have said when they got older that they were all bit ordered to be trans. If a conservative family's kid says they are trans i would typically blame it on prudish parents refusing to discuss at length important info the kid needs and being an open door to talk with and ask questions.
In adults it is very closely linked to mental disorders like anorexia which is another dysmorphia disorder. It has to do with distorted body image. It is a common misconception that people become anorexic because of societal influences about body type or bullying but that is not always or even often the case. There are dysmorphics that want to amputate limbs or see themselves as a monster and want to blind themselves so they cant see the monster in a mirror. The disorder triggers the compulsive obsession with a certain body type and they are almost incapable of seeing how they realky look or bring okay with it, it can go as deep at the extreme end as literally seeing stuff that isnt there in the mirror or hearing voices telling them not to eat or otherwise play into the warped body image. You have probably seen those people that say they see themselves as a snake and have their tongue split, electrolysis on their head, body and eyeball tattoos. That isnt because of society saying it is normal, neither are the ones that want to be an amputee.
Your characterization of what a tranny is, isnt a fact. In the absence of any actual evidence that a majority of trannies are dangerous in some way, then you are not making a meaningful distinction. A tranny with a penis(or used to have one) is just a man, a man with a mental disorder who is not criminally insane unless they have committed some crime in relation to their mental disorder.
I'm pretty sure goin in dry would hurt me worse than the person on the receiving end.
