@96XR5BM3yrs3Y
Hey guys, what's your opinion on the transgender community?
@97G7DBJ3yrs3Y
I think its stupid as **** and a boy cant magically wake up one day and decide to be a girl. Also pronouns are dumb because you cant force me to call you your given pronoun or what you appear. I will call you by your name and you cannot force me to consider you anything. And the amount of people to de-transition is insane. It's becoming the 'trend' to be transgender in a way.
Your second comment is correct but misguided. A boy cannot “decide” to be a girl because transgender feelings are deeply rooted. As for pronouns being dumb, you used twelve in your post. A pronoun is a type of word, and asking that people use one set instead of another shouldn’t be a problem. I will concede that neopronouns are often unnecessary and confusing, but beyond that this is a non-issue. You could call people by their name every time you mention them, but that’s kind of strange (imagine you asked your friend named Bill “How is Bill doing?”). As for… Read more
@WhatisaWoman?2yrs2Y
When he says pronouns are dumb, he means that the idea of being able to choose your own pronouns is ridiculous, and that if you are female, and can get pregnant, but say you are a man, he isn't using he/him pronouns. He doesn't mean the concept of pronouns is insane, but the idea that you can choose "your" pronouns, and the idea that you can have your own pronouns.
@9LFGWG51yr1Y
I completely see where you are coming from but calling a human being they/them or ze/zer or whatever the rest are should not be legal nor normal. He/him and she/her is how it has always been and is how it should be continued. It is not normal and if you are a man with a penis you can not decide to be a she/her because that it literally, physically, and biologically not what you are.
@B28R2J7Republican4mos4MO
yeah feelings depression mental illness are reasons of being transgender or non binary or trans male or trans woman made up genders basically
@B28R2J7Republican4mos4MO
its better staying as what your assigned at birth instead of embraceing this why not help all trans or any other made up gender
@9DD8SFJIndependent2yrs2Y
You:"Pronouns are dumb"
Also You: Uses nearly 20 pronouns to talk badly about a minority
@9KQB4661yr1Y
Have you actually looked up the number of people who de-transition? People who are trans don't wake up one day and choose this. The brain is a separate organ. The genitalia are separate organs. They can develop different or opposite of each other. Trans people's brains develop opposite of their genitalia. Have you ever heard of intersex people? Someone born with both male and female genitalia. How is it a trend? Why would you think that people would want to be victims of murder, assault, and discrimination?
@97YPKCY2yrs2Y
I think that adults can do with every they want. However, you don't get to police what I can and can not say nor do you get to push your ideology onto kids. A man is a Adult Human Male. A Woman is a adult Human Female. If you want to ignore reality fine but you can't force me to ignore it with me.
@9GH5TXR2yrs2Y
No one is forcing this into kids.
@9X3X7FR7mos7MO
I think it's important to note that sex and gender are two different things.
Sex is your chromosomes. Gender is a social construct; it's behaving in ways that society associates with male or female.
I'm still on the fence about all this transgender stuff but I just wanted to point that out because I've noticed people tend to confuse the two.
@TheHillbillyLordRepublican3mos3MO
gender and further be broken into gender identity and gender expression. Gender identity is whether you prefer people to call you a man or woman, such as pronouns. Gender expression is how you act and present yourself, even if it doesn't match your gender identity. Transgender people just prefer to be thought of as the opposite gender, such as changing pronouns. Transsexual people actually went through a surgery to try to change their reproductive system (but really, they just destroy it, and call it done)
@9L9BGW71yr1Y
Yet if you met someone on the street and you couldn't tell the difference if they were trans or not, would that even matter to you? Until you know, and that is absolutely only the hypothetical person's business, how would you respond? While you may not ignore this, note that it absolutely doesn't change anything in YOUR life from day-to-day.
@TheHillbillyLordRepublican3mos3MO
If I was flirting with a girl (I am a man), and then realized they were trans, I'd be pissed off that they lied to me about their sex
@TruthHurts1012yrs2Y
All gender transitions should be BANNED even for ADULTS and every doctor who performs them should INSTANTLY LOSE HIS MEDICAL License for VIOLATING THE HYPPOCRATIC OATH NOT TO HARM HIS PATIENTS!! And he should also face jail time if he does it to a minor! We can no longer tolerate this CANCEROUS MORAL DEGRADATION THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW!!
@9DD8SFJIndependent2yrs2Y
Transitioning is medically necessary, to ban it entirely would kill transgender people, and it does not violate any oath. Transitioning, if done appropriately is safe. No need to act mad
@EnviousRight2yrs2Y
But it’s irreversible? How can someone under 18 make this decision?
@DemocraticDemographer2yrs2Y
It's interesting that you feel so strongly about this issue. However, numerous studies have shown that gender-affirming treatments, when administered appropriately, can have significant positive impacts on the mental health and well-being of transgender individuals. For instance, a study published in JAMA Surgery found that gender-affirming surgery was associated with reduced psychological distress and suicide risk among transgender individuals. If the goal is to uphold the Hippocratic Oath and act in the best interests of patients, shouldn't we consider these findings? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this specific study and how it might relate to your perspective.
@VulcanMan6 2yrs2Y
How do you propose we solve transphobia?
@GloopdevIndependent11mos11MO
“numerous studies have shown that gender-affirming treatments, when administered appropriately, can have significant positive impacts on the mental health and well-being of transgender individuals”
That is irrelevent when determining if it is moral or true. They are finding solace in the lie that they can change their "gender" (whatever that means anymore). I will not allow the mentally ill to hold themselves hostage in order to get their societal rot recognized. Although protecting life is necessary, there comes a point where it is no longer our responsibility if they choose to do something stupid to themselves without rational cause.
@TheHillbillyLordRepublican3mos3MO
All I care is that transgender people can't actually make babies bc they destroyed their reproductive system, and that is bad.
@9KQB4661yr1Y
You do know that trans/non-binary people have been known for thousands of years? The knowledge of trans/non-binary people is older than Christianity and was a part of most ancient societies. Trans/non-binary people have been acknowledged in Indigenous American culture long before Europeans came here. This land has known trans/non-binary people's footsteps and voices long before your ancestors even thought about coming here.
@9NVXNC811mos11MO
To start with, you MISSSPELLLD Hypocratic.
@99LQPG72yrs2Y
I am they/she myself, and I hope that others can see that we are people, too.
@WhatisaWoman?2yrs2Y
If you want to say that, sure. But you objectively are one human being, not multiple. Also, they is used when the person says "I have no gender". So how are you also a woman, if you are not a woman?
They as a pronoun is not always used to refer to multiple people. If you're referring to someone who you don't know the gender of, you use they. If someone says "I visited my friend this weekend, it was a long drive to get there." the grammatically correct response would be "where do they live?" Some people prefer to use they as their personal pronoun since they feel like they don't identify with the commonly accepted gender roles and identity that are customary to men and women in the United States.
@devops_daveGreen2yrs2Y
It's important to note that the use of "they" as a pronoun isn't exclusive to those who identify as having no gender. Many people use "they" as their preferred pronoun even when they identify within the gender binary. For example, someone might identify as a woman but choose to use "they" pronouns to challenge societal expectations around gender norms. What are your thoughts on this perspective?
@IamSirius32Green12mos12MO
Oh yeah ofc you are people we're all in the human race
@ISIDEWITH8mos8MO
What are your thoughts on the balance between individual freedoms and collective security?
@9TMCR64Progressive8mos8MO
I think that we need freedom and security and you must walk a line to create a balnce.
@9TN9GTJ8mos8MO
Everyone should be free to make their own choices so long as they are not infringing on other’s rights or safety.
One's freedom should never extend to the point of encroaching on others' freedom.
@9TMFCBQ8mos8MO
I think balance could be very valuable in trying to bring our country together because individual freedoms are important but if all of us are safe the country is safe.
@ISIDEWITH10mos10MO
What impact do you think lowering taxes has on a country's economy and why?
@9RF7CN810mos10MO
It would increase consumer spending driving small businesses. However, it will also most likely result in over-spending causing a negative reaction.
@TheHillbillyLordRepublican5mos5MO
If taxes were lower, the government won't have as much money to support as many programs, such as free parks, homeless shelters, food banks, etc. They may have to stop funding some programs, so maybe they'll start charging at national parks, or they won't be able to pay for construction, leading to more toll roads.
@ISIDEWITH11yrs11Y
Democratic
The United States Democratic Party was founded in 1828. The party’s ideology is based on modern liberalism which includes support for economic regulation, labor unions, stricter gun laws, environmental protection, social equality and the welfare state.
@975HD2B3yrs3Y
The democratic party is NOT left wing
@97CJ8ZM3yrs3Y
Bruh what💀
Liberalism is not leftist, even if it’s progressivist.
@6WP5FSYRepublican 1yr1Y
Progressive liberalism has always been part of the left. It's simply part of the center left while capitalist abolition is part of the far left.
@98Z4N8H2yrs2Y
just because it doesn't critique capitalism doesn't mean it isn't left wing
real, i got 90% democrat but would never consider myself a democrat. socialist all the way democrats are just neutral republicans imo
@9HGHNMN1yr1Y
??? hello...
Excuse me – what rock have you been living under for the past 100+ years...?
@9CJ6CB61yr1Y
A transparent one apparently because the Democratic Party isn’t even socialist. Joe Biden is a capitalist and just wants rich people to pay 25% taxes. The democrat party is also the Republican Party of the 1800s; the one that had lincoln, due to the party switch.
@B2F4QTJ4mos4MO
your a boy or girl not trans but respect your opinion I support same sex marriage but the t in lgb is a made up gender because how many genders are their it must be hard finding out what is a woman if you are woke I'm just a moderate liberal
The party switch is a gross oversimplification. For example, while the Republican Party did do some atrocious things under Lincoln, the Jacksonian Democrats violently defied state's rights under Andrew Jackson in the nullification crisis of 1832, supported direct mobocracy, which true republicans resolutely oppose, wanted to carry out an unconstitutional power in removing the Indians, which Republicans would be opposed to, supported inflation, which Republicans are opposed to. The Republican Party has always resolutely supported the Gold Standard, and usually been on the side of non-interference in foreign affairs. So I agree with you that the parties have evolved, but it's not a clear-cut switch, elements of both early version of the party have amalgamated into the two party system we see today.
@983K76N2yrs2Y
I identify with Democrats more because I feel that they have a wider variety of ideologies than the Republicans do. With Republicans it is mostly QAnon new-comers or MAGA libertarians (and maybe a few moderates if you get lucky); Democrats have progressives, moderates, centrists, democratic socialists, and a few conservatives like Joe Manchin.
@UNC4life2yrs2Y
I identify as a dem but that's just wrong. That's an unfair generalization of the Republicans. Liz Cheney, John McCain, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Chris Sununu. There are so many decent and honorable Republicans. It's just unfortunate what Trump has done to their party.
Indeed Trump has caused harm to the Republican Party but Liz Cheney, John McCain – everyone you listed – have done far worse. These people are neocons who support endless foreign wars, endless foreign aid, limitless abortions, limitless spending and deficits, and don't give a dang about states rights, enumerated powers, or the constitution. Whenever a Republican votes against Party he is showered with praise – whenever a Democrat, like Joe Minchin votes against his party, the media rains h–ll on him.
@B2F4QTJ4mos4MO
liz Cheney no I dislike her dad but hw and w bush and mcain hell yes to those reps
@B2F4QTJ4mos4MO
bill Clinton is a cool one in the party
I was in class taking this test everyone but me got Republican and i got Democrat💀💀
@Patriot-#1776Constitution9mos9MO
There's hope for you if you have a curious mind and are willing to look at facts
nah because same
@9X7BG6WPeace and Freedom6mos6MO
YOU GUYS WHAT IS A DEMOCRATIC PARTY??? WHAT ARE THE THREE PARTIES???
#failigsocialstudies #help # failing #failure
@B3HF5BKLibertarian2mos2MO
Bruh... there are way more than three, but the main ones are Democrat, Republican, and Independent (Independent isn't a party, but people who aren't a part of a party)
@B2F4QTJ4mos4MO
democrat republican independent
@B5C6H4K4 days4D
Have you ever been a member or involved in the Chinese Communist Party
@ISIDEWITH11yrs11Y
Independent
@ISIDEWITH8mos8MO
If you had control over one national policy, what would you change first and why?
@9TN4RNV8mos8MO
Having control in national policy, the change I would make is ensuring that children will receive better school food, advanced education by learning one than more languages, and well educated cartoons for the children to watch by learning good manners.
@TheHillbillyLordRepublican4mos4MO
I would get rid of free school food and FARMS. Keep free education though, just get rid of the extras, like free food or services
@9TMHYLM8mos8MO
Abolish income tax, income taxes were never supposed to exist in the first place
@TheHillbillyLordRepublican4mos4MO
Income tax is necessary to fund the government. I do think the government shouldn't be spending all our money on free services or foreign aid, because if they didn't, taxes could be reduced. Also, income tax should be a fixed percentage for all workers, like 20% (idk if that is high or low)
@9TMCR64Progressive8mos8MO
I would add heath care so we wouldn't be the laughing stock of the world.
@9TN4SLV8mos8MO
We need to stop reducing state rights because we are a vast land of different cultures.
@TheHillbillyLordRepublican4mos4MO
I agree with the stop reducing state rights part, but I don't agree with the different cultures part. States should be able to make their own rules and regulations according to what their people want, but as a whole, all states should share the same, or at least similar, cultures
@Aubreyplaza1234!2mos2MO
I do agree because all states should share the same.
@charlroycefleIndependence8mos8MO
I think..., you're right. Some states should given more cultural and state identity for more prosperity for America as a whole
@ISIDEWITH8mos8MO
Do you think political parties divide people more than they encourage unity? Why or why not?
@9TKTVMN8mos8MO
Yes, it causes a bunch of arguments against stupid people.
@TheHillbillyLordRepublican4mos4MO
Political parties are needed in order for people to support each other. People need to prioritize their beliefs and sacrifice their less important beliefs so they can identify with a party and gain support for their more important beliefs
@Aubreyplaza1234!2mos2MO
Yeah instead it becomes about bickering and who’s right who’s wrong so I think we should support and have our own opinions and I agree !
@charlroycefleIndependence8mos8MO
The political parties goes either divide or bring stability to the nations operations, due of ideal of political parties is to bring ideas into whole identity; and some political group or parties don't have a purpose to the table.
@ISIDEWITH8mos8MO
How important is it for a political party to stay consistent with its values, even if it means losing followers?
@9TJBBXH8mos8MO
The morals of each party are what make that party what it is. I don't think parties should sway just to gain a vote. Stand for what you stand for and if people agree then they will vote accordingly.
@TheHillbillyLordRepublican3mos3MO
Political parties have been know to switch ideologies in the past, take the civil rights era, the democrats and republicans basically switched from conservative to progressive and vice versa.
@ISIDEWITH8mos8MO
Do you believe political parties should prioritize individual freedoms or the collective good, and why?
@9TLVG4X8mos8MO
Individual freedoms because some people don't work hard enough for things and don't deserve the opportunities.
@mr.-snowy 5mos5MO
Individual freedoms
-Philosophical Foundations-
@ISIDEWITH7yrs7Y
Peace and Freedom
The Peace and Freedom party was founded in 1967. The party’s ideology is based on opposition to armed conflict, black liberation, farm-worker organizing, women’s liberation and LGBTQ rights.
@ISIDEWITH8mos8MO
When you hear about a political group focused on promoting rights for women and LGBTQ+ people, how does that make you feel about society’s direction?
@9THSMWQWomen’s Equality8mos8MO
The world is constantly evolving. Hearing about political groups being formed to adhere to these changes fills me with hope.
@9RR38RZ4mos4MO
Embarrassed that it is still a fight for human beings to have rights after all this time.
