Social credit in America - Politics invades personal finance

You need to broaden your horizons.

I’m not sure if this is the same list, but one of the honorees was Fats Timbo

Our Creator of the Year, Fats Timbo thanked her community for their “unwavering support”.

“I proudly identify as a black woman with dwarfism, and this identity comes with its own unique set of challenges,” she said.

So they did not entirely avoid wokism.

I dont know if that’s wokism. I kinda feel like you should get some extra credit for being a dyslexic dwarf. That’s a real, tangible obstacle to overcome, as opposed to some dude who’s disgruntled because he doesnt get to have boobs.

Adams and other Democrat politicians are just grandstanding to placate the voters. They know exactly what they are doing. The Democrats are importing millions of FDA’s, future Democrats of America. Once they get them registered to vote and harvest their ballots, they will steamroller the opposition.

Hey, some legal progress on behalf of the sane.

Although I have to wonder why this article, solely reporting the facts of a judicial decision, is labeled as 'opinion"?

The post, which is no longer available, read, “If a human identifies as anything other than a man/woman please seek services at a local pet groomer. You are not welcome at this salon. Period. Should you request to have a particular pronoun used please note we may simply refer to you as ‘hey you.’”

I dont undertand where the discrimination is? There are protections against gender discimination, not discriminating against a chosen ‘identity’. And this person outright welcomes both men and women, which would inherently preclude discrimination. I’m as white as can be - if I demand to be identified as asian, and as such get fired for being crazy and offensive to others, will the state take legal action on my behalf as well?

You may feel you have the right to chose how you refer to yourself, but you have zero right to dictate how I chose to refer to you. Only one side is trying to usurp the rights of others, and it isnt this salon owner…

Appearance-wise or DNA-wise? Cause you might have some Genghis Khan in you.

Also Asia is big and has light-skinned people, so objecting to your demand or firing you just for that could be dangerous.

Can you just take my point as-is? Because no one in this trans crap is making the argument that the a boy should be accepted as a girl because he has female DNA. If that were the case, there would be zero controversy.

Edit: Make it blackface instead. My rubbing dark makeup on my face and demanding to be accepted as a black man is literally the same as you putting on a dress and demanding everyone treat you as a girl. Except these days one is embraced and cheered for being so bravely “progressive”, while the other gets you crucified by a lynch mob. It’s sheer lunacy.

Really? I did not realize that there’s zero controversy around people who have both male and female DNA. My fault. I don’t actually know if that applies in this particular case, I haven’t seen the evidence either for or against. In fact, I don’t think this kind of evidence is ever presented.

Quit deflecting. You know full well this is entirely about someone feeling like, or otherwise choosing to be, the opposite gender. Not because of their genetic makeup. If someone has physical deformities that resulted in an incorrect gender determination, there is zero controversy to them “changing” their gender to correct the mistake. The whole trans movement is about the supposed mistake being in their own head, wholely unrelated to genetics.

They don’t have to be “deformities”. There are people who have both male and female DNA and potentially male and female internal or external organs. The determination may not even be incorrect in the traditional sense, because it’s based on visible external organs.

Whatever the hell you want to call it. Good Lord… Stop trying to bury the point! No one gives a crap about your potential technicalities, because those potentialities are not relevant to the issue.

Not one single trans person pushing this crap is doing so because he took a DNA test and found out he is actually a she. If that were the case, absolutely no one would have a problem with it. We are talking about men, with male DNA, insisting they magically become a female just because they feel like it.

If you want to keep harping on the possibility that man might potentially could have female DNA to justify the transition, then he can take a damn DNA test if he wants to demand to be treated as a female. Otherwise he’s just making crap up, just like I would’ve been in my initial comment that you tried to obscufate.

I wasn’t trying to obfuscate, I was trying to show that you don’t actually know whether any man wanting to be identifies as something else does or does not have female DNA. In a sense you (and the salon owner) are pre-judging all people who might not identify singularly as male or female.

There’s a chance they could be part god damn cat for all I know. So now it’s discriminatory to not put out a litter box for them just in case?

Just stop it with the hypothetical possibilities and look at reality. Not a damn one of those people crying about trans discrimination has ever even taken a DNA test to see what gender they really are. It’s about what they want to be, irregardless of what they actually are, and throwing tamtrums when anyone dare call them out over those dilusions.

So what? There are no legal discrimination protections for subjective “identities”, so once again you’re just trying to bury the point with more irrelevant crap.

Christian School Sues After Forfeiting Game Against Transgender Athlete (msn.com)

On Tuesday, the conservative organization, Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), filed a lawsuit on behalf of the Mid Vermont Christian School after claiming they were prohibited from competing in future sports tournaments as a result of their decision to forfeit a girl’s basketball game in February against the Long Trail High School, which has a transgender woman on its team.

But the state is now excluding Mid Vermont Christian from its Town Tuitioning Program and from competing in middle school and high school sports because of the school’s religious beliefs,"

Good to see them fighting back. But it’s a crap argument, the whole religious belief thing. Their argument should simply be “While we respect each individual’s right to live and present themselves however they chose, it doesnt change the biological fact that this is a male participating in a female sporting competition. Creating an uncompetitive and unfair advantage, putting our female athletes at increased risk of physical harm, and negating the entire reason for maintaining separate male and female sports programs to begin with.”

It’s about their right to free speech, the right to state and act based on long-established and undisputed scientific fact. Citing a religious objection requires first accepting the premise of the issue, when the premise is the entire objection. It isnt a religious objection to playing against males pretending to be females, it’s a common sense objection based on the fact they simply are not females.

The basic problem is that the other schools in the league are government run. Parents of children in these schools should pull them out for many other reasons beyond their transgender policies. That, of course, is easier said than done.

There is some hope as many states are passing school choice laws that allow public money to be paid directly to parents. One of the latest is Arkansas. Under newly elected governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the state enacted a school choice law

College students are concerned over a strict new bill that could limit higher education: ‘You can say gravity isn’t true…’ (msn.com)

I found this rather funny.

The bill demands that educators “encourage students to reach their own conclusions about all controversial beliefs or policies and shall not seek to inculcate any social, political, or religious point of view.”

So they’re all bent out of shape because this bill would forbid them from simply telling their students what they are supposed to believe and what they are supposed to think. The liberal panic“concern” is that by making teachers provide students with all the info needed to reach their own conclusions, there wont be a filter on what information reaches the students and more and more of them wont buy into the preferred line of crap. Indoctrination serves them so much better, and makes it so much easier to get everyone on the sameright page.

Educators and students alike worry that if the bill becomes law, they won’t be able to teach and learn accurate climate science.

The only way this is remotely true is if they’re currently only presenting half the picture to their students, and they choose to stop teaching about the climate because they know their students will now be able to see through their bullsh!t conclusions.

If what you are teaching truly is accurate and not biased, then this law doesnt absolutely nothing to change that. The objections are very telling…

In recent months, the U.S. has seen a wave of conservative legislation targeting colleges and universities. A new bill in the Ohio General Assembly follows this trend by aiming to restrict what educators can teach about our changing climate.
