OT "I'm Dealing With A Few Transgender Issues"

I don't think anything we could realistically change would make more of those things more available to more people.

You can't force fans to show up and support those things. Which is what would be necessary to expand them.

*Edit* And I'm just not convinced that there is a market for it

 

Only necessary under capitalism of course. Normally I wouldn’t make the distinction but we might be close enough now to realistically suggesting other options that it’s worth reminding folks that the profit motive makes everyone’s lives less rich.

 

That's a good point. I'm all for positive feedback for competitive activity. If we could expand it so more people could find a place that would be great.

 

I was in an extremely competitive—and successful—high school marching band. We had more trophies than our football, basketball, baseball, and soccer teams combined.

The whole kit and caboodle, the entire sport of marching band in Oregon, was destroyed because middle school and grade school band was gutted. You can’t get people who play musical instruments in your high school if they were never given the opportunity to learn as kids.

This is where the problem is: if there’s no support among the kids, there’s no talent pool for the adults. The only way to fix that on a big enough scale is with mothertrucking socialism (or better).

 

Yep. We should definitely have more options for kids the way we used to.

 

Citizens United might be the greatest evil I’ve personally experienced.

 

It honestly might be the biggest evil we're facing today. It's making all of the other problems worse.

 

I misspoke though I was accidentally speaking truth. I meant to say Oregon Citizens Alliance.

 

Lol, I was wondering... But then it did kinda make sense... So yeah, I was good to pile on.

 

Both

 

Define being trans as drag, define being outside as performance, then offer up a $5000 bounty on “drag performances.” This is the prototype for federal action in 2025.

 

Same shit different decade.

 

Republicans spent millions on campaign ads claiming Harris obsessed with trans people and not talking about economy.
Nancy Mace posted 325 times on Xitter in 72 hours about a single trans woman using restroom and zero times on economy.
Who is obsessed?

 

This is pure bullshit. Hard to see how anyone could believe such drivel. Equating gender with race, when it clearly isn't nearly the same thing.

I guess it gets sympathy points from morons. But I can see right through this pack of lies.

 

It's all to divide people and demonize certain people as "other".
