Y'all ignore "a dung". It changed its post after I responded. Its original post was along the lines of "you're not a true feminist and you hate trans and you're not welcomed here." Now it is ranting because it got triggered by the words "the left." My post was to highlight how their rules keep changing. So to sum up, here is what a dung really wants to write, "Spicy criticized the left. It offended me because I vote down ballots for Democrats. Now I need to use the left tactic of calling our critics hateful so that everyone else can turn against her. Spicy is racist, ageist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, cisnormative P.O.S. I hope the mods ban Spicy because she said 'the left'. I won't sleep tonight until Spicy is punished for calling me out on my bull. God speed!"

Lol. I mean, I wasn't completely sure what your original post meant, but I always figure it's best to assume good intentions until there's reason not to. The response to you though was just batshit. I consider myself a liberal, but "the left" these days is definitely not liberal.

My original post was pointing out the inconsistency as well as the government overreach of the left. Just last week they said little Joey was assigned the wrong gender since he likes dolls and dresses. This week they are telling us that gender doesn't exist in toys and clothing. They are not consistent and need to stop trying to parent the public. I played with dolls, guns, kitchen sets, and legos. But my niece is a straight up girly girl. It's hella convenient for me to filter on "girls" and get her gifts out of the way. Maybe the post would have been better on a political sub, but I just find it funny that they try to acknowledge gender and ignore gender at the same time.

For sure, that's what I figured you meant. As for the gendered toys, I have mixed feelings. It is convenient to be able to filter girls vs boys if you know the sort of thing you're looking for. I just worry that the separation makes people also conclude that girls ought to play with and boys ought to play with... etc. Not all people obviously.

Is "dung" a TRA here? I had a different user name person the other day ask me "What women's rights are transpeople taking away?" Seriously?

I can't tell honestly. A dung said I hated trans before replacing the post with the tirade you see now.
