Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

Transgender is “wrong” and “immoral” yet all these republicans are crooks, fraudster, adulterers, hidden closeted gays, and support and back the worlds largest pedophile on the planet with the nuclear codes.

But yeah, letting a man grow boobs is the problem here.

Men should be allowed to grow boobs if they want.

But the point of being a trans woman is that you're not a man.

None of that matters to a kid. To them it's just a person being a person, wearing person clothes, and doing person things.

It’s almost like a progressive wrote this, in order to change minds in that sub. But I don’t think so. Which makes this super ironic.

Those were the easy times. One boogyman. Here, in addition to us being decentralised, so is spez.

He’s so close to getting it. Yet so far away.

I sometimes wonder if accounts like The Patriotic Blonde aren't out to subvert conservatives. It's exactly how I would do it!

Parenting comes with so many teachable moments. This is just another one.

You've got many more tough conversations in your future. Unless you suddenly don't have a kid.

Litterally why I started to pay for Youtube Premium last election cycle.
"Daddy why does want to kill babies?"

Started playing music over bluetoon in the car to avoid the same ads on the radio.

It took lots of effort to get rid of them, but I see almost no ads anymore. Not on the internet, not YouTube on my phone or in my TV shows or when I’m listening to music. I’m practically allergic to them. Now when I catch an ad that made it past me, it gets a physical reaction from me from just how FUCKING LOUD everything is all the time. And not just volume, but audio compression, colors, camera angles, costumes, set pieces, all of it. It’s a goddamn assault. They all just want their little piece of your time.

I switched to NewPipe as my YouTube client, to the same effect

Because when Republicans are "crooks" they are hurting the right people. So it makes it okay.

Conservatism has always been about oppression. It's not about small government or even protecting the kids.

It's oppression.

I live in TX. The Telerico ads are a mix of how shitty ken paxton is as a person and his policies. All the Paxton ads are Trans gender is a huge problem (bc i can't stop masterbating to the porn).

Just saw another add where he has his daughter stumping for him against Trans people. Something I learned from it... the weird eye is hereditary

I can excuse wanting to fuck children...but I draw the line at giving them puberty blockers. /s

It's always so painful when you see them in reach of the finish line but then they purposely won't cross it.

“This can’t be the real finish line! There must be a different, better, more genuine line somewhere nearby. I just need to look hard enough!”

Don’t forget that Republicans like Rafael Cruz don’t have to use the name on their birth certificate, or that most Republican politicians have had gender affirming care like hair plugs and testosterone.

Correct-- If republicans stopped stripping them of their rights and loudly demanding to see the genitals of every highschooler, there would be basically no problems. It's called manufactured outrage, and it's how They(tm) control the masses.

More like Based-sy. Holy shit that's a good quote.

It's why I allow very little screen time for my kids. I can't control the fucking ads. They are a part of the brain rot.

Imagine being afraid of talking with your kids about that topic. What a bitch.

"Mmmm! Tasty tasty faces!" -The Leopards.

Why talk when you can beat the gay out of them preemptively?

I think limiting screen time is great, tablet babies weird me out. But if/when the time comes where they need to be online more, consider helping them set up an adblocker on everything they use. Everyone hates ads including kids. They'd probably think you're awesome for it.

I read it charitably as someone born with a male body wanting grow boobs...

But sometimes a pithier statement, though technically less correct, does more work.

That poor Leopard is going to die of over consumption.

Is lemmy still jerking itself off over not being reddit yet perpetuating many of its tendencies? I guess I should not be surprised. Same regret, different place

Why not just use an ad blocker or third party program?

I was gonna say, this is a leopardsatemyface and selfawarewolves crossover episode!

I think there should be more mental space carved out for men with boobs, I dated a big dude with a sumo type body and the contrast between the muscly arms and legs and the soft moobs, mmmmm

That was my solution to constant ads attacking my rights right about then. I was willing to watch the occasional ad to fund the service. They ramped up the ads and advertised hate against me so all bets were off

Even then "didn't you used to have a kid/more kids" has to be a really tough conversation. Or at least I assume so, the father that doesn't speak to me would be the one to know for sure

This reminds me of the Biden Administration, who was trying desperately to control immigration, and declaring that they did NOT support open borders, while the entire time, MAGAs were screaming "BIDEN HAS OPEN BORDERS! THEY'RE LETTING EVERYBODY IN!" every chance they got.

If people below our southern borders got the idea that they were welcome to come to America, it wasn't the Biden Administration that invited them, it was MAGA. Nobody was sending the message that undocumented immigrants were welcome in America more strongly than MAGA.

The other day, elementary age kids received pamphlets in the mail explaining all about being trans, thinking it would turn people against the trans community. It probably will, but it also taught a lot of kids how to hide being trans from your conservative parents, and that pamphlet was almost certainly a MAGA October Campaign Dirty Trick. Now we also know that it was almost certainly conceived, created, and paid for by Elon Musk. Of course it is, it smells just like him.

If you never mention it to them, raise them in the church, home school them, make sure they marry some other homeschooler, keep them working in the family grift, you can raise them so they never hear about things like Trans and Gay and Liberal and Socialist, and they'll create a better Christian America in the future.

Just goes to show whoever's screaming the loudest the most wins with the dumbest people. Which is why more politicians need to realize that they need to constantly and aggressively keep repeating their messages and any and every win they have. Like Mamdani has been in New York.

It's so fucking funny that they still have that billionaire bought failed bullet dodger all gums fucker as their icon on that sub.

Hell, our big beautiful gay dementia president has boobs!

It's almost like we should keep government out of our lives unless there is a good reason.

What I thought was a conservative value when I was growing up.

Conservatives gradually approaching the point

Are these the same people with a Grindr account?

Which is why our current "conservative" party is really more closely described as the neoliberal Christo-fascist authoritarian party who all eagerly voted for "I'm going to be a dictator on day one!"

That’s how wedge issues work. Take an issue that most people didn’t have opinions on one way or another and beat opinions into their heads until they forget how it used to be something people just let live. When a party can’t sway people on bigger issues, they create some new ones. Then you end up with people whose whole ticket is filled depending on how a candidate feels about this ONE issue.

yeah no fuck you. transgender rights are not about "men growing boobs."

I think you’re misconstruing my sarcasm about Republicans and their inability to deal with trans people and how they view them.

Sorry mate.

It's almost like trans people were a literal non-issue until conservatives made it their issue. It's the Streisand Effect to the max. Just let trans people live their damn lives

It irritates me especially when I don't want to explain what they're talking about to my children.

Crazy, maybe if we taught about this stuff in school then it wouldn't be so fucking confusing.

Oh, right.. Texas.

Sometimes while drinking I'd start a new reddit account and post some daily mail articles to try to build karma with the goal of eventually infiltrating their sub and subtly propagandizing them away from fascism with posts similar to this, but it just seemed so soul sucking that I could never put in the effort to follow through once I sobered up.
