Rebound

Woke me up when you figure out how to speak directly instead of telling me I understand your stupid dog whistles.

Good luck running an entertainment empire that hires only conservatives… that’s a pretty laughable thought! Remember when Obama was inaugurated and there were over 20 separate inaugural parties, filled with Tier One entertainers? And then Trump got elected and his only entertainer was a third place runner up from America’s Got Talent? There are almost no right wing entertainers. Definitely not enough to run a TV/music/movie empire.

If you only published unemployment figures in the aggregate, you’d surely be accused of whitewashing the unemployment status of minorities.

If you get through a week without redefining the word “woke,” wake me up and let me know what it is.

Oh? We’re only psychotic? Typical right-wing dehumanization tactic. No need for discussion, just call the other side a name and say they are irrational or sub-human. TO REPEAT: She is on record saying that transsexuals do not have a right to exist, and she brought that message to a University that has virtually no sports teams at all… allegedly to make remarks about athletics? Then she pretends she’s attacked, posts a video where no attack happened, then claims she was stuck in a closet with a bunch of uniformed cops who couldn’t protect her? Come on… she sounds like she’s lying.

People make anti-trans statements every day. Nobody should make anti-anybody statements. I mean… we’re all born one way or another and it doesn’t make any of us superior to anybody else. When you look at these white supremacist guys, they’re mostly ultra-poor, badly educated white men. They are failures and the only way they can feel superior about anything is by thinking that their skin color or their choice of religion makes them better. But it doesn’t.

Was she assaulted?

“On second thought, maybe I should have pardoned him.”

The privilege was lost because Trump and Cohen performed illegal activities, including those which landed Cohen in jail.

Really? Of all the universities, she chose to make a speech at a school with virtually no athletic department? She’s a swimmer. SC State has no swim team, no diving, no football team. They’re in Division None. But yeah, she chose that school to speak about athletics. Uh huh. Right.

Why does it matter whether someone is biologically trans or not? Why not leave these people alone? Just let them be.

Just as one would have to be insanely transphobic to say the same things about trans people. Where’s your “liberty and freedom”? Let them be! Why do you even care if a man wants to wear a dress and call himself Donna? Unless… the only reason I can think of is… your sexuality somehow feels threatened by that?

“Woke” refers to what you are aware of, not what policies you agree with or oppose.

3…2..1.. Cohen files counter-suit.

Gaines posted a video… in which nobody attacked her. Then she said she was stuck in a closet for three hours with a bunch of uniformed police who couldn’t defend her. It’s not a likely story. But to be clear: If somebody hit her, that person should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. It doesn’t matter that Gaines was obviously looking for trouble and publicity and was trying to deliberately upset people… if you cross the line and get violent, you go to jail.

If you think black people don’t have the right to exist, are an abomination against God, and you’ve said so publicly… good luck with your plans to go to Harlem, stand on a podium and say so. I agree, however, that transgender athletes should be required to participate in sports in accordance with their birth assigned gender, unless it was mis-diagnosed at birth.

You still are evading the question. Uncomfortable? Yes. But nature is nature.

Some babies are born with deformed genitals and the doctor cannot determine the child’s gender. What do you say about that? There have been cases where doctors guessed at a gender, and when the child hit puberty, they were decisively wrong.

Sure. I’m not against a man calling himself a woman or whatever. Live and let live. I don’t care. But we have Men’s and Women’s sports for a reason: In nearly all categories, women cannot evenly compete against men. Therefore, if a man changes his gender to female, she should not be able to compete in organized competitive sporting activities in the woman’s category. I think it is absolutely unfair competition.

Nice try… but you’re deliberately ignoring this fact of nature. Yes, there are people born without arms, but that doesn’t prevent a physician from determining someone’s gender. (Or sex. Whatever. ) These aren’t aliens driving Cadillacs. These are infants. This could happen to your kid, or grandkid. It happens, for real. Baby is born and the doctor cannot tell whether it’s a Boy or a Girl. That is a fact. Now what have you got to say about it?

Seriously, there are people born with partially formed, ambiguous genitals and the doctors can’t figure out whether the baby is male or female. It really happens. “Occasionally, a chromosomal abnormality may make determination of genetic sex complex.” Mayo Clinic: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/ambiguous-genitalia/symptoms-causes/syc-20369273

Six to ten million Native Americans were killed as a result of European colonization of North America. That’s usually not part of most high school American History classes.

What do you think about people who are born with indeterminate gender? Sometimes the genitals don’t develop properly and the doctor cannot tell whether the infant is male or female. Tell us what that person is.

Do you have gender with your wife or sex?

Sex is what I do with my wife. Gender is whether I call myself male, female or other and if some activist wants to redefine the words, I don’t care.
