Plenty of leftists here. Haven't heard any of them take that stance.
I know life is more simple when everything is black and white, but that doesn't mean the rest of us see it that way.
And as I said, my original post said “your side”, clearly referring to the left and not a particular poster here. And I never said all do, of course they don’t. The left can’t bash people who are religious and smugly say it’s because “I live in reality” or claim to be the “party of science”, all while trying to tell us we need tampons in men’s rooms and men can get pregnant.
Are there people on the left who do this? Sure. Are there people on the right who think gay people shouldn't get married, black people are inferior, and a whole host of other shat? Of course. You paint with a mighty broad brush is my point.
Would you say it’s widely pushed right now by the left, their politicians, etc? Men competing against women in sports, men using women’s restrooms/changing rooms, all that stuff? My point is these are pretty mainstream ideas that the left is pushing/promoting right now, blacks not deserving equal rights to white people on the left which you attempted to draw comparisons to are not. It was a dumb comparison.
I find it odd that you say "your side" and "the left," yet of the 30 or so socially liberal posters here, not a single one espouses those views.
It's lazy and dishonest.
You're missing the comparison. These aren't mainstream views. I don't know a single person who thinks children should be allowed to undergo hormone replacement or gender reassignment surgery.
The ones talking about it the most are right wingers. Look at this forum!
I’m not missing the comparison, and they are certainly mainstream. How is it not when you have the freaking White House press secretary on the podium telling us gender reassignment/hormone therapy restrictions being passed are “dangerous”, or “life and death”? Laws being passed/introduced regarding all the aforementioned things like men in women’s rooms/in women’s sports. It’s 100% mainstream, nowhere in the same ball park as people on the right saying blacks don’t deserve equal rights as whites. Get real dude.
You saying "the left" thinks men can get pregnant is the same as me saying "the right" are all white supremacist Nazis.Can you read? In the original post of mine you responded to I clearly said “yalls side”, referring to the left. Do you really want to try and argue that the left isn’t saying and supporting ideas like this?

Both sides have fringe extremists aka crazy people.
You are arguing with a person who earlier today attempted to discredit a pupublication simply because it was founded and backed by a republican billionaire. He magically disappeared when I pointed out that he probably didn't want to go down that road with everything we now know about which way twitter, Facebook and mainstream media all lean
I didn't disappear. You posted something we all knew. Tech/social media employees lean left.
Alert the media. You're the one discrediting fact checkers based solely on political leanings. I'm not going down that rabbit hole with an election denier and a guy who thought Damar Hamlin was dead when all evidence was evident that he was, indeed, alive.
Sue me.

You are the one that dismissed a publication solely on the political affiliation of the owner. I simply thought it was ironic that your rational inadvertently disqualified the majority of the major news networks as well as fact checkers from Twitter a d Facebook

Would you argue that there aren't members of the right who believed Alex Jones theory that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax, and that the parents of the Sandy Hook shooting victims were actors who had been paid by George Soros in his quest to repeal the 2nd Amendment?
I believe that the Q Anon and PizzaGate kooks are Republicans, but I know they don't represent the values of the average Republican/Conservative or speak for them either ...
... because it's not accurate to take the rhetoric of the lunatic fringe, and treat it as though it represents an entire party platform.
One of your previous posts also talked about men getting pregnant and having periods and tampons in men's restrooms ... and men seeing gynecologists ... and assorted crap like that. The only liberals I've heard talking about such things are from the lunatic fringe.I’m not talking about “the lunatic fringe”. I’m talking about the figurehead politicians on the left. Literally the president of the United States. Are you claiming that the Democrats aren’t pushing and supporting laws to allow men in women’s sports? Men in women’s restrooms/locker rooms? How about gender reassignment surgeries/hormone replacement?

I do consider them fringe. Hell Yes!Here’s more from the “fringe” aclu.
