I’m half expecting it to eventually come out that this wierdo’s entire persona is an act.

It would help if they actually apologized but more horses running around the countryside? Too little too late.

Over the past few decades, among western elites, LGBT shifted from ostracism (or worse) to being the cool kids club.”

what are we doing to our kids and young Americans? Are we giving them space to be their most authentic selves, or are we trying to mold them into an image we think is cutting edge and provides them maximum victimhood privilege?

Selling far left media news coverage seems not to be a sustainable business model, at least if you’re not the NYT :wink: . Two examples currently headed for bankruptcy include BuzzFeed and Vice.

Who knew that men Poker players have an advantage over women? Maybe because women are more emotive?

Do they? Or is he just a good player? Regardless, it’s pretty sad (or is it hilarious?) that this is where we are allowed to have this discussion, instead of over the countless situations where it really does matter.

Really? I’m not sure where this byline came from.

I’m pretty sure the real issue here is how they/we are no longer allowed to find such cross-gender casting to be inherently funny. It’s far from unusual in the theater, but traditionally either 1) you never knew it because of heavy costuming, or 2) it was played (be it blantant or subtle) for laughs. The problems come when insisting such “drag queen” personas be taken seriously.

The embodiment of the ills of society. A few busybodies hellbent on telling people they’re victims and not accepting no as a response. For this poor girl, those nails were likely her favorite part of her outfit that night. Regardless of subject or age (and the reason I posted this), there are tons of people who are perfectly happy, until some third party takes it upon themselves to insist that they aren’t. This girl will likely end up in therapy some day and it’ll be blamed on mom, when it’s mostly due to articles and reactions like this.

I am no fashion expert but, after looking at the outfit, I think it definitely is child abuse. Blue jeans, combat boots, and a bowling ball bag purse?

This could not happen to nicer guys LOL

NORTHALSTED — A slew of Chicago gay bars have stopped selling Anheuser Busch InBev products after the beer giant distanced itself from transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney’s Bud Light marketing campaign amid anti-trans backlash.

Of course. It’s outrageous how AB has not endorsed celebrating and encouraging mental illness. Clearly the world isnt right until we all are a little sick in the head.

You clearly havent been hanging around too many elementary schools lately, have you? :wink: Fashion and fashion-in-the-eyes-of-a-third-grader produce two entirely different results.

The funny thing is if this girl said she’s decided to be a boy, we would be evil hate-filled bigots for not happily accepting and validating that courageous choice. But it’s so outrageous to even suggest that perhaps we should first ask her about her finger nails before openly denouncing and ridiculing them. Actually, when put that way, maybe it is understandable why some girls decide it’s easier to just pretend to be a boy…

New IRS data, however, show the speed with which blue states are losing taxpayers—and their adjusted gross income (AGI)—is increasing. A recent Wall Street Journal analysis found that more than 100,000 people left Illinois in 2021, taking with them some $11 billion in AGI, nearly double its 2019 total. For New York it was $24.5 billion, an increase of more than 150 percent from 2019. California, meanwhile, saw its AGI loss ($29 billion) more than triple since 2019.

That people are migrating from these states is important. But who is migrating is equally important. Taxpayers giving up on the Prairie State and the Empire State made about $35,000 more per year than new arrivals.

For Florida, …. The average income for a new arrival to the Sunshine State was roughly $150,000—more than double those leaving.

“In other words, the geese with the golden eggs are flying away,” writeseconomist Daniel Mitchell, referring to the IRS data.

I know in the grand scheme of things, this is more an exception than the norm. But how can anyone endorse such crap? Surely even the most adamant trans activists can agree that stuff like this is devistating to their cause? Even some of the most delusional nutcases can generally understand that being forced to stoop this low to get their message across is a pretty good indication they’ve gone off the deep end.

ExSqueezeme? What’s wrong with a bowling bag purse. It’s one of my fashion accessories every week … and I’ve been a well-known. well-respected, trendsetter for decades. In fact, I was a trendsetter before “trendsetter” was a thing.

ETA: Oops! almost forgot the “extreme sarcasm” smile … where the heck is it …

Honestly, just how many gay guys drink Bud/Bud Light? I know one, and it only depends on his weight that day.
