General Politics Discussion VII [ARCHIVED] • Page 1439

That's 100 percent not true and good faith scientists know that.

 

While I consider the politics thread here to be my own progressive bubble, I open up myself to both sides by reading Breitbart comment sections on Facebook.

 

That's a conspiracy theory site so yeah I get the joke

 

ok. what about if someone says trans men arent men. do i need more context

 

for real though, I actually browse Breitbart comment threads on a regular basis. I’m a fucking masochist.

 

So my first car was a 99 Plymouth Neon that my parents bought while I was vacationing with my sister. Followed by a 03 Dodge Stratus, 06(I think) Mercury Mountaineer, 13 Kia Forte.

And in 2018 we each bought new cars. Ford Fusion hybrid and Ford Escape.

sorry, missed out on that convo

 

Well, Breitbart & Bret Weinstein are regularly on the same side of things. And, if you don't like Tucker Carlson, you should know that he's been on Bret's side & had him on his show, too.

 

Like in what context is the person saying it? Are they denying the fact that people are born in the wrong bodies and therefore disrespecting them by calling them the wrong pronoun than what the person prefers and saying they aren't who they are in their soul, mind, and heart? Or are they saying that biologically they used to be a woman so they aren't a biological man but a trans man?

 

Yes I know that but Bret has explained that he's trying to reach a wide audience so he's going in as many platforms as he can...much like Bernie. Bret and Joe do not like Tucker Carlson and said a bit about it on his show.

 

there's a difference between bernie holding a town hall (which was also criticized by many people!) and someone going onto tucker carlson's personal show

 

it doesnt matter because either way they're being bigoted

 

I meant Bernie going on Joe Rogan

 

So that begs the question...is science bigoted?

 

someone didnt read the article i linked

 

yesus kristus

 

also widely criticized! but joe rogan and tucker carlson arent even in the same stratosphere of who is worse

 

Not yet I will read now

 

The term you’re looking for is “cis man.”

“Biological man” is generally a term used by transphobes to invalidate trans men as men.

Maybe you do need to watch a Contrapoints video after all.

 

Is my language being policed here? Just curious

 

No, it’s being corrected.

It’s ok to mess up. Conversations around gender identity can be confusing. But, it is important, if you’re going to participate in conversations on this topic online, to learn the proper terminology bit by bit as you go.

 

That shooting video is scary as fuck.

 

Goodnight
