I assume one of the Billet folk must have shit in his cornflakes or turned down a sponsorship request or something along those lines.

I might be spreading misinformation but I've seen it mentioned by multiple sources so I'll take a lesson from LTT, Linus invests in a company that makes gpu waterblocks.

You should read Catch 22

I know what you meant and there aren't millions of cis girls impacted by trans girls. That number is a massive inflation to make the impact seem more worrisome. It's called fear mongering.

Progressives aren't the ones trying to make it illegal to be trans or arrest parents for supporting their trans child. Why should we sit on our asses and watch people's rights be stripped away because you don't think it's enough people to protect? You feel the same way about murder? "They only murdered a dozen people, we have bigger things to worry about."

If you think millions of girls in the US are impacted by trans people you've bought more propaganda you think. Much closer to dozens than millions but probably more accurately hundreds. I'm more inclined to protect the girls who would become suicidal because they're being told they don't belong in public but you do you.

Don't get too excited. They're just doing it so it doesn't get in the way of the Ai they'll be putting on there.

There are people who refuse blood transfusions because of relious beliefs and will let their children die. Of course there are some that would refuse "gay blood."

Without doxxing yourself could you give an idea of where you went to school? I went to public school in the south and other than being mentioned I didn't learn much about slavery in school. I mean we learned about the underground railroad and generally knew about the slave trade and that being a slave was about the worst thing humanly possible. But other than getting whipped they didn't talk about much of the torture or punishments they'd went through. Civil rights I remember being discussed more in depth than slavery but when I was a kid I attributed it through the fact that most of my teachers remember the civil rights movement from when they were my age. Sorry I'm high so I'm rambling now.

It makes some sense when multiple crimes were committed but it was one event. Robbing a liquor store becomes several different crimes with their own max sentences. Sure there were multiple laws broken but they only did one thing. The issue is how grey that line becomes and how much authority a judge has over a crime's punishment and when you factor in things like if the robber shot the clerk.

It's important not to forget the past. If America treated slavery the same way we'd be a lot further socially.

They're saying the right need to leave trans people and drag queens alone because they're far from the problem when it comes to pedophilia and trafficking.
