If you spent $1 million a day since 0AD, you would not have spent $886 billion yet.

Nothing says “Hey ladies, we consider you Reproductive Chattel” like making the argument that women should be forced to give birth so that the state government can get more money.

Right? I’ve been using public restrooms for a long time and I don’t recall ever seeing anyone’s naughty bits.

…and for me the most ridiculous part of this discussion is that bathrooms have never been a secure space. If some creep wanted to go into a bathroom to harass people, there is literally nothing stopping them. It’s not like bathrooms have guarded entrances and now people have a sneaky way to get into a bathroom by pretending to be transgender or something insane like that.

It’s literally a manufactured issue to get the GOP electorate terrified, as everything they do is designed to do.

In places with large crowds, gender neutral bathrooms (assuming you also mean single-use) don’t really work. It causes massive lines.

Not to mention, there’s no need. It’s a bathroom. Why does anyone care who they pee or poop next to? It seems so silly and arbitrary to me. Just get in, do your thing, wash your hands, and get out. haha

and honestly, businesses too. There is opportunity here in the business sector, I think.

When you’re discussing traits inherent to a person-- not things they do or believe, but things they are, it’s almost certainly hate speech. A quick test would be to swap the inherent thing you’re talking about with skin color, since that one seems obvious to most people. So, would you say that an opinion that you support people of color, you just don’t support them playing sports with people that aren’t POC, be nuanced opinion or hate speech?

As for your second hypothetical, that is a discussion for doctors and experts, and they’ve already had it, and that’s why children can’t get non-reversible procedures until they’re 18. No one is transitioning children; they are blocking their development so they can have a choice on how to proceed when they’re adults.

You can’t reason a person out of a stance they didn’t reason themselves into.

For instance: How would you even begin to reason with someone that believes in demons? Where could any discussion even go if one side can waive away anything they don’t agree with by claiming it is a trick from a demon?

Which god? Zeus?

As I understand it (and I may not!) deleting your account leaves all your comments in place, but without your username.

Is ‘LitigiousEmma’ an inside joke, or an extremely relevant username? haha

Edit: For some reason this keeps bouncing around in my head and the more I think about the more I believe that Emma should have contacted you privately (at first, anyway) instead of jumping right into attempting to publicly shame you.
