Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Your thought is valid.
But what I wanted to tell you is that based upon my kids, their friends, and other people's kids that I know and talk to - very VERY few of them give a single fuck about this sort of thing. Like surprisingly few.
It's refreshing, because it's truly no big deal.
That's a you problem, and it's up to you to get over.
Your problem is “My way or the highway”
It's called human rights. You can either accept them, or move to a country that does not value them.
Shame you're besmirching the name of Uncle Iroh. He would calmly pour some tea and tell you, "How odd, in that situation, that it is you who needs to grow a pair."
how uncle iroh('s voice actor) actually responds to transphobes:
I am confident you don't realize the full implications of what you're saying, so please don't take this as an attack, but would you also support "black only" restrooms for this exact same reason? If not, why not?
I think the point is that the kids don't care and the only people complaining are the adults who don't feel completely comfortable.
I have a friend who's son is transitioning, not a single of the kids at his school give a single shit. Even more so they say things to their parents like, "how can you be so binary" and such like. The kids don't care it's the parents who are uncomfortable and projecting it unto the kids.
Bullies would. But not so much because they're transphobic, but because they just look for anything that could be a soft spot to abuse.
You know what happens when I'm uncomfortable about something? I try and look at why. If I feel that the reasons are because of my own personal insecurities and triggers, I try and deconstruct them and find reasons and solutions to them. What I don't do is project those insecurities on others, and force them to conform to my point of view.
You don't see a problem with needing to build a 3rd bathroom in every place that only has 2 bathrooms, and would single out those who use it as an "other" to anyone seeing them use it?
Why? What kind of "weird"?
Fr 💀 does he think his friend is going to sexually assault him? His mindset proves he has a huge lack of respect for his friend.
I wonder if his friend knows how he feels. I feel bad for him. Imagine the first person you're comfortable opening up to feeling this way.
Stop looking at your friends genitals in the bathroom. Problem solved. Fuck your comfort, no one cares about your feelings. Let people use the bathroom for fucks sake.
“That’s a small sample size. Here’s my anecdote with an even smaller sample size!”
