House passes bill banning transgender athletes from competing in federally funded women's sports

The bill would ban athletes biologically born male from competing in girls' or women's sports at federally funded schools.

It passed the House. Every democrat voted against it. Biden says he will veto if it passes in the Senate which is unlikely since controlled by democrats.

It just doesn't make sense. Most of the movies were done quite well. The last movie was less than 20 years ago. To redo the series is just moronic.

There are so many new ideas that Hollywood is just refusing to try

It's basically an attempt to lure back Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson to reprise their roles for "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child",whenever they decide to make it after the "Fantastic Beasts" franchise is over.

I typically don't give a fuck about CAC women or issues affecting them but....JK Rowling got my support.

It's going on years now and I feel I'm very supportive of the other side but

I do not understand exactly what JK is saying WRONG here.

Unless it's the humor and sarcasm she uses? Then maybe I get the anger.

But even THAT is a stretch

I got a close relative who suddenly switched up pronouns.

And it was a trip because 'they" are now trying to do a reboot of the family history like we were all hating gay folk.

Intially I let it rock cause I understand it's new etc sensitive etc and maybe we weren't as considerate back then?

But after awhile I noticed they were copy cut pasting message board talking points to retrofit their own narrative.

That's when I realized it was some old bullsh*t.

I'm not saying they feelings are fake I'm saying the need to lie and misinterpret and twist stuff to fit the illogical doesn't help their cause at all.

Wtf? I'm tired of this faggotry that they are trying to expose kids to. The fuck is drag story hour? If you want to be a Hebitch, a rectum raider, and want to cosplay being a woman then knock yourself out, I don't condone it period, but that's your freedom to practice whatever weird sexual behaviors you want as an ADULT. Just leave the kids out of it and stop trying to force your faggonism on them and society in general. You have other countries that don't tolerate dingaling queen bullshit

 

[EPDC]

This shit is getting beyond ridiculous. Yesterday, my manager/team lead sent an email asking us to refer to our clients by their first names ( in emails) and not use Mr. Mrs. or Ms. so as to not mistakenly offend....

I always feel weird addressing someone whom I have never met nor communicated with by their first name at the start. Fucking weird ass world we're living in today.

I don't like the bomb threat thing at all.

To me that crosses the line period

But I can honestly say as someone who worked in schools etc. I don't like THIS particular activity either.

Gay straight even trans etc. Okay

But dressing in drag is different. That's a kink fetish type thing. Why are exposing kids and trying to normalize that?

And to be honest? It was gay parents that started complaining about this to the administration first.

It's safer to just do that now so i understand. the huge headache is not worth it.

Right! I completely agree. They shouldn't be doing bomb threats at all. I just don't like how they are trying expose and influence kids. Kids soak up things like a sponge which makes them vulnerable and causes confusion. They are trying their best to normalize this type of behavior

All I'm saying.

Of course gay been here forever and honestly all these current identifiers and genders did too.

I ain't trying to oppress shame abuse etc.

But sex in GENERAL at THAT age? Nah.

And especially cross dressing or drag?

I KNOW drag ain't about sex USUALLY but it never was targeted as kids like that.

That's a blatant attempt to side sneak on the lgbtq+ wave to make your thing "acceptable" too.

Like I side it was gay parents and employees who were speaking up at meetings against it. So we all looked at each other and deferred to them.

It's so corny.

But beats a major civil suit or potential class action

I remember a few months ago I was talking about this subject and some usual suspects around here said I was making too much out of it. Dared to ask if I knew this was happening or seen it on the news.

Welp, here we are. MORE documented weirdo shit. More workplace emails. More drag shows. Just more bullshit.

But hey, it's allegedly right wing scare tactics.

The fuckery is growing and spreading. Drag shows have no place in front of kids. I keep telling folks that in their own books these weirdos say childhood is a social construct(just like they turned sex into that made up gender shit).

And yeah, gay people ain't really on this 'trans' shit nor are they on this queer shit. Queer ain't the 70s version most think it is. It's a different version them activists eggheads came up with in colleges. The Q and T in the LGBTQ is where all the nonsense comes from.

 

[Bawse Nigguh]

Nothing to add to the conversation..Just think it’s funny how the topic of the threat no longer reflects the content of thread.

I understand the movement I respect it I wish we as black people could learn from it and do the same.

I don't want to blow this out of proportion

Pardon all puns and pauses.

on this SPECIFIC situation from jump I had parents reach out to me cause they were scared to voice any displeasure

(Which I know sounds crazy especially in this critical race, social media, book banning Era. But most real people are fairly liberal compassionate and accepting for the most part)

So the straight black dad with friends from every group I usually getted dragged *Pause* Into all this stuff.

I know a former big time drag queen. I asked him about this. He was like WTF?

again let me be clear. I am not saying the person running the program is a weirdo abuser. I don't know them. And it ain't likely trust me. And I know straight married dudes I wouldn't leave my kids with.

That being said drag read along to me ain't it. Hold on. Actually it's FINE. Just not in the library or school unless the parents say it's OK.

You can have it anywhere you want. In the park on a sunny day, rent a space, sell tickets, festival etc etc.

If I told you 10 years ago that people would be scared to get vocal about drag shows for kids, you'd have clowned me into oblivion. Called me a conspiracy nut. Same about 5 years ago. What's crazy is that SOME cats on this board still in denial.

JK is to the left of you and damn near everyone on BGOL. And she is called a Nazi for speaking out. And she didn't say shit bad. She actually supports 'trans' shit. Just wants a distinction between trans and real women. For that, she is a nazi. So yeah, people are scared.

And not everyone is a weirdo who is supporting this. I don't want to make it seem like that. A number of people have been duped. Others just want to be 'cool' and with the crowd. As a movement, that's what the weirdos behind it wanted. People supporting shit and they don't even know why.

And I know there are plenty of drag performers who ain't on this shit either. For years, they put on shows without anyone saying shit. They weren't beating down school doors or at the library. But just like detransitioning trans people can't speak out, the drag folks against this shit are silenced too.

You making a powerful point about lumping people together

And I mean in EVERYWAY.

I dont expect every gay to support bi to support Trans etc etc

But we and all of they/them gotta be able to have a civil conversation with each other.

I CANNOT get into a debate about what a real woman is. Not gonna happen.

you don't get to just DECIDE you a woman.

You want to have surgery and cut it off or leave it on and take hormones or dress up. It's all good. You want me to call you miss? Cool.

But ALL that will never make you a woman.

And to try to shame women is the part that made me less sympathetic. To compare a Trans to women who can't bear children or are in menopause is f*cked.

JK was wrong cause she tried to use her humor and sarcasm using the wrong forum at the wrong time. She needs to just own that and we would'nt still be here. Because her OVERALL POINT is correct.

because you can't take tanning pills and say your black.

they messed up this important movement with ONE IMPORTANT misstep

You can't create a system where people can just SAY they are something because they feel like it.

So I'm a man I love women. I'm not a lesbian. But what if I decide I no longer want to be "identified" as male. I want to identify as a woman. I get to stay married to a woman. Wear men's clothes because cross dressing is now an acceptable identification. I can even keep being referred to as he/him because that is also a personal choice. BUT I can now legally say I identify as women, right. And I should be afforded any benefits that come with that.

How the hell does that make sense?

Jay know I love his moms.

Bey know I'm an ally

But ain't nothing gonna make me not defend black women

Like I said I never said nothing especially when a lesbian couple was trying to get ME to be the bad guy.

In fact the guy was cool and apparently he makes SERIOUS money doing the drag thing he was in some off Broadway show. Had a daughter.

When I asked him seriously... what you doing? He started to give the acceptance speech. I said how many 7 years go to YOUR show? And would you let YOUR daughter go? Did you start getting dressed like that FOR children or adults?

He didn't say nothing.

Exactly because you KNOW this isn't some comedy thing for kids. It's not a KID THING. It's for those who can decide to exposed to that. It's not about acceptance or a little boy trying on his mom's shoes. It's a predilection you have for women's clothing and how OTHERS see you. And how you WANT to be seen.

Again I'm asking WTF that gotta do with helping kids read?
