“Gender affirming care” was replaced with “sex change” or “sex reassignment” in at least 19 articles.

Jesus, this is just about as blatant as you can get. I honestly can’t imagine how people can eat up such clearly dehumanizing politics and not get a bad taste in their mouth…

Here’s how you can tell if you’re the baddy: Do you support policies to spite or “own” others? Do you think, “fuck ‘em, I don’t care,” or “they’ve gotta be taught a lesson?”

Then you’re probably the baddy, stop it! Dehumanization, even casually, is the root of all evil.

It doesn’t necessarily mean you’re wrong, obviously — you might’ve stumbled into being right for the wrong reasons — but wow, is it a huge red flag!

I wish more people would understand the value of letting people make their own life choices, even if you disagree with them.

I think this why it became so important for people in this camp to establish the whole grooming whatnot. To their listeners/readers, they are not dehumanizing, they are saving 😐

When Pride Parades are chanting “we’re here, we’re q****, we’re coming for your children”, you can’t blame grooming accusers for believing that. 🤢

I thought this country was about freedom and freedom to be who you want.

It's freedom in the sense that you are free to own slaves set up your own church and stop paying taxes to the British empire.

Do you think, “fuck ‘em, I don’t care,” “they’re disgusting,” or “they’ve gotta be taught a lesson?”

I often think this way about Fox News, and Health Insurance Companies, and Gab, and kiwifarms
