Yeah, did you see that Lincoln County OR actually initially banned POC from wearing masks because "oppression"?

WHAT???

The commissioner who spearheaded that just happened to be a TIM.

I heard that on one of Benjamin Boyce’s interviews, yes. But I did not know the commissioner who spearheaded was a TiM. Well, I suppose that confirms my theory that the ideologues who believe in the trans cult are racists.

Well according to (TRIGGER WARNING CONSERVATIVE SITE WHO AGAIN WROTE ABOUT JY IN 2018) yeah, it's a TIM

Oregon has given us perhaps the most 2020 thing of 2020. The county commissioner who created the exemption to the mandatory mask order for people of color is a trans activist. Her famous quote, while completing “gender confirmation,” was, “I couldn’t wear this mask one more day.”

Hahaha thanks for the link. I don't want to speak for everyone, but imo you don't need to give a trigger warning when it is a conservative site. I am very liberal, but I am also able to parse facts from media bias so don't feel persuaded by any particular source.

This TiM should not be in a leadership role. He had a midlife crisis and appropriated womanhood. Where the TiM says this:

“I’d say our office has heard from at least a dozen people of color. You know one of them said aren’t you aware that the virus disproportionately impacts communities of color? And I said oh yeah absolutely. But also the same people saying that you know they fear an unintended consequence of a well-intentioned policy. Let’s say a person of color comes into our courthouse and chooses not to wear a face covering, they’re actually more likely to be harassed and profiled than if they don’t.

First, the part where he's aware that communities of color are impacted at a greater rate by the virus. This TiM dismisses actual voices of color over the safety concerns they have for their community if exposed to the virus at a greater rate when they don't need to wear masks. Not going to lie, that feels to me like the TiM is passively advocating for their genocide? I might be overblowing what he's saying, but the underlying message is that he's okay with putting their lives on the line because they could in theory be harassed if they wore a mask. At the bare minimum, he's playing a white savior role.

Second, when the TiM commissioner stereotypes people of color hypothetically going to the courthouse and then being subject to harassment on the basis of race. That feels very person of color criminal stereotype to me? I'd like to think that he didn't intentionally stereotype them as criminals, but the hypocrisy is mind blowing.

It's our Rule 9 (here) adaptation of Rule 8. The old community was really split on Rule 8 so this was seen as a compromise, put up whatever link but just tell people who don't want to read it.

What I see here with the TIM is him appropriating everything to make it all about him. Same as that TIM on the City Council in MPLS who started singing "Amazing Grace." How performative. How woke.

I'll be honest, if ever I voted for a TIM/TIF I'd expect them to take a reasonable position on it like Miranda, Rose of Dawn, maybe even Blaire White. Not Strangio, not Grimm, not this TIM or probably 95 percent of them in public view.

I didn't know it was a rule. I'm not a fan of putting oneself in an echo chamber, I think the echo chamber led to the rise of the trans cult.

A few months back GC people were super paranoid about being linked to the far right. At the moment no one really gives a shit.

Time moves fast in politics.

I'm not sure what the charge was. Partly having more serious things to worry about and partly because we have pretty much won that arguement. The TRA don't actually believe it, it's just name calling now.

Oh, okay. At this point, I don’t trust left wing media either. I feel like a total wack job even writing that, but it’s true. The trans issue and how mainstream (leftie) news sources handle it is disturbing. Consider how the Guardian has drank the Kool Aide.

It sounds awfully PATERNALISTIC. "Oh black people, you don't understand your own oppression or your own needs. Let me whitesplain them to you."

He expected to see a wig and a ton of makeup looking back at him all his life? WHY do the people of Oregon play along with this?

<Bill Hall sat in a beauty salon near Portland and ordered the full work-up: beard cover, foundation, eyeshadow, mascara and lipstick in a bold pink. And for the final touch, a short auburn wig coaxed over his own graying brown hair.

Hall spun around to face the mirror. He saw Claire for the first time.

An incredible feeling of rightness settled in, a kind of peace that had eluded the Lincoln County commissioner for many of his 58 years. It was so much more than the surface trappings.

“This is what I expected to see looking back at me my entire life,” he thought, “and now it is finally real.”>

That just makes me feel sad for him.
