There are no "actual activists." There are no causes. The only thing left to fight for is the right to indoctrinate very young school children into gender ideology and show them, graphically, how to be gay.
State interference with and regulation of marriage is, and always was, an abomination. Marriage is a religious and societal institution, and the state only got involved to prevent miscegeny.
The Christian church isn't going to recognize gay weddings, but anyone else is welcome to.
I'd be happy to advocate with you in the pursuit of getting the state out of marriage.
Do you want a trophy?
Question their identity? What are you even talking about? Why would someone question someone else's identity (in that sense)?
I never said, and I never say, "All Lives Matter." That's what stupid conservatives say because they don't understand that's exactly the rhetorical trap BLM has set for them in order to call them racists. Please notice I didn't step in that trap, so don't shove me into it.
When it comes to "What belongs on people's clothes while representing their employer," BLM and KKK are the same.
BLM's message isn't really "Please stop murduring us." It's "You white people are all a bunch of racists."
It's slanderous (which is why it's offensive), it's obviously political at a glance, so inherently so that I don't know how to explain it, and a lot of people don't go for that shit and a lot of other people do (which makes it divisive).
The concept of "trans" is part of gender ideology. They are people with an identity disorder. Conceptualizing them as "trans" can only exist if you subscribe to the concept of gender in the first place, and gender only exists as an abstraction in the minds of gender ideologues (and people who don't know any better, who have been duped by gender ideologues).
The BLM movement is astro-turfed into existence by scammers, but I do believe that there is a movement with a purpose that arose as a result. However, I think they're misguided, focusing on race instead of what the real problem is: policing. We have shitty police. They're ignorant, especially of law, and aggressive, and they're following bad orders. That's in the best case. In the worst case, they're corrupt. It doesn't just affect black people, it affects everyone. By making it a race issue you divide people by race and eliminate any possibility of getting any redress.
Yes, black people are disproportionately affected, but they're easy targets because they're disproportionately criminal. That's another thing BLM refuses to address. Why are black people disproportionately criminal? Democrats and the deep state have engineered them to be that way. They bribed fathers out of their homes, sold them crack, promised them free shit, lied to them, and utterly destroyed the black family. They have instantiated the school-to-prison pipeline in inner-city public schools.
If you really wanted to help black people, you'd tell them the truth. There is a solution and it's simple but difficult. Two things need to happen:
- Keep the family intact. Fathers are necessary and irreplaceable.
- Take your kids out of public school. School them at home. Do whatever it takes.
Do these two things, and the rest of the details surrounding these problems will solve themselves.
You were the one who specifically asked to have it spelt out to you, and even asked for something I never offered. Don't act like I'm ranting or crying. There are no systemic racist institutions targeting "people of color (everyone but whites)."
I never said that and I don't believe that. But the people who fought for civil rights for gay people aren't today's alphabet mafia.
Oh, and the gay men who fought in the stonewall riots are the reason the G should have always come first, because it was gay men who set the foundation for civil rights for non-straight people. Not the alphabet mafia, and not lesbians.
When I say "the alphabet mafia," I'm not talking about gay people, bisexual people, etc. I'm referring to the bully activists who go around stirring shit and spreading lies about society and claim to represent gay and bisexual (etc.) people.
I'll spell it out for you:
It suggests that it needs to be said because there are lots of people who don't know it. However, everybody knows black lives matter, and it's an implication that everybody who doesn't adopt your race ideology is a racist. In reality, those who do are actually racists in denial and are projecting. I and a lot of other people feel this way.
Then, there are the people who subscribe to your ideology, who think that white people are racist and need to be told to stop being racist, and there are a fair number of people who believe that.
So, there are a lot of people who think one thing, and a lot of people who think another thing. Shouting your shibboleths in the street that declares your difference highlights the division that exists in society. That is what we call "divisive."
Oh, and since this is the first time I see you in this thread, I must say I'm sorry I wasn't able to divine that you were waiting for an explanation.
There are a couple of "trans" people in my life. They have one sex but feel as though they are the other sex. I feel sorry for them the discord they feel in their identity, but beyond that I really don't give a shit. One of them works with me and the other slices my lunchmeat at the deli. I don't press them about anything, and I don't talk about it. I actually use their preferred pronouns because I respect them both as individuals, but internally, I believe they are both men who think they feel like women. I'm not even convinced they actually feel like women. I think they've been lied to scummy activists all throughout their public education.
Gender is made-up bullshit.
I understand better than gender ideologues the difference between sex and gender, and unlike both the left and the right, I meticulously never use them interchangeably.
Shut up, liar. Quit slandering people.
Yeah, the system is "I feel this way (today)," or "I feel that way (today)." This ends in "does free will exist," which I don't want to end up at.
No, BLM wants to spread lies about society, burn down cities, murder people, and loot, and swindle your own movement out of millions of dollars.
Chauvin's prosecution was political.
If I feel like eating pizza today, that desire comes from deterministic conditions. Me choosing to have pizza is still an arbitrary choice. If I had a cheeseburger instead of pizza because it's cheeseburger day, even if I want pizza, that's deterministic. You could argue that the schedule is arbitrary, and that's fair, but deciding for yourself what pronouns you are going to have used in your regard regardless of your sex is arbitrary.
No, they are chosen by "I identify as..." and then they make their choice. That is literally arbitrary. I don't know how you have been using the word, but you could look it up in a dictionary to see how people have historically used the word.
You have a very loose definition of bigotry.
It's the alphabet mafia who are treating people being gay as political, not conservatives.
