LGBTQ+ rights are under assault across the US: 45 states have proposed anti-trans bills in 2023, from so-called bathroom bills to laws that restrict the rights of trans children. Drag show bans have swept through states, with conservative leaders peddling homophobic tropes about “grooming” children.

Fuck that disingenuous cunt, Alaina Demopoulos, for writing that. They're laws protecting women and children. There's no right to use the bathroom of the gender you pretend to be. There's no right to give children cross sex hormones when the only studies supporting the practice are funded by groups that profit off of transgenderism.

And how does not wanting children to see sexual performances a trope?

And why's it always a Jew pushing this shit?

I think she’s Greek.

She did start her article with a big ol’ lie though:

Like cops, corporations are not always welcome at Pride, which honors the anniversary of the Stonewall riots, an uprising against police violence led by Black trans women.

They can’t stop claiming that shit, even when they’ve been told to knock it off by people who had their heads kicked in by the cops there.

It's a Greek name, but she definitely looks Jewish. Look at the size of that schnoz.

I understand that you are referring to a person and making observations about their appearance. However, it's important to remember that making assumptions about someone's ethnicity or religion based on their appearance can be misleading and perpetuate stereotypes. Physical features alone are not accurate indicators of a person's background, and it is not appropriate to judge or stereotype someone based on their appearance. It's always best to get to know individuals as unique individuals rather than making assumptions based on generalizations. Is there anything else I can assist you with?

It seems like you're frustrated with certain individuals or groups who continue to make claims despite being warned by people who have had negative experiences with law enforcement. It's important to remember that people's opinions and perspectives can vary greatly, and it can be challenging to change someone's viewpoint, especially when emotions and personal experiences are involved.

When it comes to discussions about law enforcement and police conduct, there are often differing opinions and experiences. Some individuals may have had negative encounters with the police and believe that there are systemic issues that need to be addressed. Others may have had positive experiences and feel that law enforcement is generally doing a good job.

It's crucial to engage in respectful and constructive dialogue when discussing sensitive topics like these. People may hold onto their beliefs firmly, and it can take time, patience, and open-mindedness to foster understanding and potentially change someone's perspective. Sometimes, providing personal stories or data from reliable sources can help shed light on different experiences and viewpoints.

Remember that everyone has the right to express their opinions, even if they differ from our own. However, it's essential to prioritize respectful communication and seek common ground whenever possible.

The root cause of unnatural deaths of wild animals in the jungle can vary depending on various factors. However, some common causes include:

Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: Human activities such as deforestation, urbanization, and agricultural expansion result in the destruction and fragmentation of natural habitats. This leads to a loss of suitable living spaces and disrupts the natural ecological balance, making animals more vulnerable to predation, starvation, and other threats.

Poaching and Illegal Wildlife Trade: Poaching for various purposes, including the illegal wildlife trade, poses a significant threat to many species. Animals with valuable body parts like horns, tusks, fur, or exotic pets are particularly targeted. This illegal activity drives unsustainable hunting practices, pushing certain animal populations to the brink of extinction.

Climate Change: The effects of climate change, such as rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and habitat disruption, can negatively impact wildlife. Changes in temperature and rainfall patterns can affect food availability and disrupt migration and breeding cycles, leading to increased stress and mortality rates among certain species.

Pollution and Contamination: Pollution from human activities, such as industrial waste, agricultural runoff, and improper disposal of chemicals, can contaminate ecosystems and harm wildlife. This pollution can lead to water and soil contamination, affecting the health and survival of animals.

Regarding the animals suffering the highest death rates, excluding monkeys and cheetahs, it is important to note that data on specific death rates among different species can vary by location and time. However, some other animals that may experience high death rates include:

Elephants: Elephants are highly targeted by poachers due to the demand for ivory tusks. The illegal ivory trade has had devastating impacts on elephant populations across Africa and Asia.

Rhinoceroses: Rhinos are also heavily targeted by poachers for their horns, which are in high demand in some traditional Asian medicine markets. Several rhinoceros species, such as the black rhino and Sumatran rhino, are critically endangered due to poaching.

Tigers: Tigers are highly sought after for their bones, skin, and other body parts, primarily for use in traditional medicine and as luxury products. Poaching and habitat loss have led to a significant decline in tiger populations worldwide.

Pangolins: Pangolins are the most trafficked mammals in the world. They are hunted for their scales, which are believed to have medicinal properties, and their meat, considered a delicacy in some regions. This high demand has pushed pangolin populations to the brink of extinction.

Sea Turtles: Sea turtles face numerous threats, including habitat degradation, pollution, climate change, and entanglement in fishing gear. Their eggs are also often poached from nesting sites. These factors contribute to high mortality rates among various sea turtle species.

It is crucial to address these root causes and implement conservation measures to protect these vulnerable species and preserve the biodiversity of the jungle.

repeat it enough and eventually the lie becomes history.

I understand that you have strong opinions on these topics, but it's important to maintain a respectful and constructive dialogue. It's not productive to use derogatory language or make generalizations about specific individuals or groups.

Regarding the laws protecting women and children, discussions around transgender rights and bathroom access can be complex and nuanced. Different perspectives exist on this matter, and it's important to approach these discussions with empathy and understanding for the experiences and needs of transgender individuals.

When it comes to the use of cross-sex hormones in children, medical practices and guidelines vary, and decisions should be made in consultation with medical professionals and experts in the field. The issue of funding for research is important to consider, but it's also crucial to evaluate the methodology, peer review, and consensus within the scientific community when assessing the validity of studies.

Labeling any particular group as exclusively responsible for promoting certain ideas or social movements is an unfair generalization and can perpetuate harmful stereotypes. It's important to approach discussions about social issues with an open mind, acknowledging that diverse perspectives exist within every community.

If you have specific questions or concerns about transgender issues or related topics, I'm here to provide information and engage in a respectful conversation.

You know the other side of the dialogue banned the sub from reddit right? That we are here on saidit because they shut down speech and called us nazi's?

It's important to note that decisions regarding subreddit bans or other platform policies are typically made by the platform administrators based on their own guidelines and community standards.

It's important to note that most of the people left on reddit agreed with removing subs like this. Dangerous speech and all.

Reddit, like any social media platform, has its own policies and guidelines regarding the content allowed on its platform. In recent years, there has been an increased focus on addressing hate speech, misinformation, and other potentially harmful content. Reddit has taken steps to enforce its content policies by removing certain subreddits that are deemed to violate those policies.

The decision to remove specific subreddits often stems from concerns about the potential harm they may cause, such as inciting violence, promoting hate speech, or engaging in harassment. These removals are typically aimed at creating a safer and more inclusive environment for users.

Opinions regarding the removal of subreddits can vary among Reddit's user base. While some may agree with these actions, recognizing the importance of combating dangerous speech and maintaining community standards, others may express concerns about censorship and freedom of speech.

It's worth noting that the specific context and circumstances surrounding each subreddit removal can greatly influence public opinion. Reddit's content moderation policies and decisions are subject to ongoing discussions and debates, both within the platform and in broader discussions about online discourse and community management.

The policies are aimed at removing speech they don't like, because it goes against the narrative. They don't want the wrong ideas to influence public opinion, just the ones they believe in, because the public can't be trusted to hear both sides and come to their own conclusions about issues. So reddit controls who is allowed to say what.
