Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

[Methais]

The fundamental difference between us is you prioritize group / collective rights over individual rights, and are happy to give power to bureaucrats to make ethical decisions for the citizens. I believe individual rights should take priority over collectivism and that both bureaucrats & elected offi need strict oversight so they do not trample all over individual liberties.

One would think that with Seran throwing such a big tantrum over "There are only 2 genders," he would enlighten us with his infinite wisdom and inform us of how many genders there are.

Can't trust google, too many different results.

So again, Seran, how many genders are there?

Related: Have you noticed lately how they're slowly starting to call it "trans female" now instead of "trans woman?"

Whatever happened to "sex [female] and gender [woman] are different things!"?

You seem to be confused. There is no right to harass another student in school, it simply exists. The argument that freedom is defined as one student freely wearing clothing that spreads a bigoted message making others feel uncomfortable is false.

What the far right wants you to believe happens at schools is great material for Southpark.

You can't make anyone else feel anything. What someone says is on them, how you feel about it is on you. You have no right to not be offended.

If there aren't just 2 genders, then how many are there?

Your refusal to answer this question indicates that even you, as monumentally stupid as you are, know that there are only 2 genders and the rest is just political theater and mentally ill attention whores pretending to be victims.

You could easily shut down that argument by simply telling us how many genders there are if 2 isn't enough.

You're getting hung up on an opinion. If someone wants to call themselves a boy, girl, them, they, or whatever that is their business.

Exactly. That is their business. You want to identify as a cat, feel free.

Just don't expect me to enable your mental illness by forcing me to call you a cat or else I'm being mean.

Meanwhile, all those people who spend their waking moment trying to punish, vilify, intimidate, or harass others for it are the problem. Freedom of speech isn't a freedom to bully and harass others through your children's attire. More simply said, your freedom of speech isn't a right to force change on others.

The bold/underline part is really important.. since you have the freedom to call yourself a boy/girl/fluid/cat/etc... but it's not a right for you to force this upon others.

Bingo. Just as the person whose parents want their kid to be a right wing slogan have the right to believe what they want, but not to project their hate speech upon other's in a harassing, threatening, or intimidating manner via a disgusting shirt they forced upon their son.

"There are only 2 genders" is a right wing slogan?

I guarantee you that even on the left, the majority will tell you that there are only 2 genders.

^ Do you think this is an incorrect statement?

If a boy wears to school a shirt that says “The Earth is round”, is that hate speech since it could be offensive to some idiotic Flat Earth cult science deniers? Because that’s the position you are taking here.

[Solkern]

The right to exist without harassment and bullying doesn't seem like a big ask to you, does it?

Don’t we all have that right? Why isn’t there a huge Asian movement? Trans people have the same rights as everyone else, nothing is different for them. Welcome to school life! Where everyone gets bullied. Once again, they have all the same rights and privileges as everyone else.
