So proud of my home state

[VOLS INC.]

Sell the county to MS for a dollar. It would immediately catapult our state upwards in crime and education rankings.

Now that’s an idea! Love it.

Those are state responsibilities (state roads and state crime labs) that they do not adequately fund because Shelby is a blue county...

Crime and local road maintenance are mostly a City issue.

I would be ok with the banning of trans surgeries. Hopefully if they left the Country to get their procedure, they wouldnt come back.

Are we talking all elective surgery or just ones that make you feel icky?

 

[DinkinFlicka]

Obviously there's the context of the history of slavery separating the two issues, but I don't see how you can look at this picture and think that (at least some of the time) drag is anything but a man in an over the top and offensive woman costume, similar to blackface. Like, this is what you think women are? I can see the argument that it is offensive in some similar ways to blackface.

Sam, I wouldn't even try to draw this comparison. It's really ****ing asinine and the overwhelming majority of women would disagree with you here.

Interstate and state highways aren't. Shelby has taken over some state highway maintenance at their own expense because the state won't do it. The Staye failed miserably with i40 bridge here...

State crime labs arent...

Yeah, but dames don't know what's good for 'em.

Well, yeah.

Seriously, though. asinine as it may seem, how is one offensive and the other not? It is literally mocking womanhood by wearing a costume as an over the top stereotype of womanhood. Unless we are saying that wearing stereotypical costumes is not offensive?

Not offensive?

If a mentally ill patient comes in the office wanting a limb removed you don’t perform the surgery. You get a psych consult.

Actually, you can.

If you think the point is mocking womanhood (like blackface is mocking/denigrating to blacks folks) then I'm guessing you haven't asked a drag queen why they do it.

I will stress the only two people I've ever heard bring this take are you and another man.

 

[Jxn Vol]

Actually, you can.

Actually you can’t without a psych consult.

We'll start with lopping off private parts or surgically adding private parts in an attempt to mimic the opposite sex. If more need to be added after that, it's possible.

So just the ones that make you feel icky. Lol.

I'm glad most people don't share your vision of freedom.

I got the notion from listening to Heather Heying. She's a woman.

Why does the drag queen's intent matter? Can it not be offensive regardless of intent? Everything else can be.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

Actually you can’t without a psych consult.

Because, like gender dysphoria, voluntary amputation is borne of an identity disorder.

If you want to voluntarily have your arm amputated, you can.

Your idea of freedom is having surgeons perform surgery on mentally ill patients? You need a psych consult apparently

I guess it depends on how thin the audience's skin is.

Most would argue that drag is a celebration of womanhood. Find me a drag queen dressed as Dolly Parton who doesn't worship the ground she walks on.

Your idea of freedom is having the nanny state preventing adults from making decisions for themselves.

Nah, most cosmetic surgery I find ridiculous. The women walking around with duck lips and botox face look worse than they did before the procedure.

So gender dysphoria is an identity disorder. Noted.

Do no harm

Yeah but you don't want to outlaw those. Tits? Fine. Lips? Fine. Butts? Fine?

Got forbid someone else takes a scalpel to their nethers. That's where volgr draws the line. Lol.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

You think cosmetic surgeries are good for you?

Absolutely.

Checkmate failed.
