  1. Yeah, should be similar to Warren's State Department plan:

    Rebuild the State Department | Elizabeth Warren
    That’s why I’m pledging to put America’s national interests ahead of campaign donations and end the corrupt practice of selling cushy diplomatic posts to wealthy donors — and I call on everyone running for President to do the same. I won’t give ambassadorial posts to wealthy donors or bundlers — period.

    And I’ll also ensure that some of the most senior positions in the State Department, including at least one Deputy Secretary position and the Director General of the Foreign Service, are always filled by experienced career ambassadors.

    Some good comments from trans people in the comments. This is what I was trying to explain to you all the other day. The loudest most radical people in movements don't always represent the people as a whole and their thoughts/opinions.

    "Trans activists don't speak for me either. They make things harder for me to exist."

    "They try to enforce their own ideals on others without thinking of the consequences to the trans people that are living out there in the real world. They damage the flimsy acceptance that society has for the trans community by insisting that they should be seen and treated as biological women. We are not biological women! We are trans women. They are a tiny minority of the trans community but they shout the loudest and drown out the voices of the majority. They don't even listen to the trans community at all anymore. Nor do they listen to society at large. They just want to cause a stir and see what comes out of it. There are many trans people out there who are doing amazing things for the trans community but the very few are eroding all that away by their extravagant demands. And these militant activists are mainly the ones who haven't even started nor are going to transition in any way shape or form. They seem to think that wearing lipstick and a dress makes them trans! It doesn't. It makes them a parody of what some of society see trans people as. And that is dangerous for the trans community at large. It makes a mockery of all the struggles and battles trans people have gone through and are still going through. And they are trying to do the same to biological women too. Most trans activists in the past and today are doing things in the background for positive changes in the attitude of society without any form of accolade nor any form of publicly. And they are the true activists. Not the ones who are courting publicly all the time."

  15. I can't stop laughing at the name "Triggernometry" and tag line "we're a free speech podcast!" -- then I looked at the list of guests.

    I'm just gonna repeat myself again:
    It's so exceptionally tiring with everything else going on every single day ... I am growing sick of seeing bigotry played off as ignorance or free speech or any of this. This cycle needs to stop.

    You guys are hopeless. I honestly feel bad for you all. Wake up from how stupid you're all acting and listen to the majority of trans voices instead of who the media let's have a voice. Its honestly embarrassing.

  23. I don't know how to be more clear than say it this way: I've given you the benefit of the doubt time and time again, if you keep posting shit like this video channel on my website, I will just kick you off it. I've given you warnings both subtle and stern, others have spent days talking to you and explaining this harmful cycle you continue to perpetuate and why, and where you're getting your information and how to step outside of it and re-evaluate. I've read it all so many times my eyes feel like they're going in the back of my head now. Everyone gave you information last time to re-think the bigotry you were espousing, and you returned with more boilerplate garbage from one of the more disgusting YouTube channels I've ever looked at. I am begging you to stop doing it this way so you can actually read this thread, learn from others, take in new information, and have actual productive conversations about things.

    Where are you getting the idea that this person on a show called "Triggernometry" represents the *majority* of trans voices?
     
  25. I'll let people try and talk, again, if they want, to this person for a bit ... but at some point I'm gonna get fed up and go at least a thread ban. I'm so tired of this.
