That it's a bit of a fad that's been taken a little too far and seriously is not something I dispute and I think conservatives reaction to it is what will stand out the most. I'm convinced half the reason people do make such an issue out of it is that its just about the easiest way to rattle a conservatives cage. I mean it wasn't that long ago that conservatives got all icky and convinced it was the end-of-the-world over guys with long hair and girls wearing pants. I wouldn't be surprised if lots of conservatives were hippies themselves back in the day. 1 Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

I don't think all those children swept up in a fad and being given drugs and surgery by adults swept up by ideology is something to simply smile and wave at in hopes it goes away. People's lives are being ruined by this. It's more than a little more serious than hippies with long hair. 9 hours ago, eyeball said:  I mean it wasn't that long ago that conservatives got all icky and convinced it was the end-of-the-world over guys with long hair and girls wearing pants. I wouldn't be surprised if lots of conservatives were hippies themselves back in the day.

Unfortunately, what's now happening is the decisions to resort to gender affirming care is being taken out of the hands of parents and doctor and laid at the feet of legislators who have absolutely no training nor experience in the field. I certainly agree with you that gender affirming surgery should not occur until a person is at least 18, unless not taking action would lead to other complications (such as suicide.)

The problem is that segments of the medical profession involved in this have not behaved with professionalism.

BeaverFever Posted April 15, 2023 Report Posted April 15, 2023 17 hours ago, I am Groot said: Transgender people? I think the more notable fact is that by doing this they have identified themselves firmly and proudly on one side of the culture wars. Which seems to me to be wildly against their own best interests. Why take a side and p1ss off half your potential customers? I disagree. It’s clearly the conservative culture war  It’s not like Bud’s entire marketing strategy and brand is now based on this trans person. They did a little social media gig with ONE trans influencer, probably one of dozens of social Media influencers they do promos with.  Conservatives are overreacting to gin up controversy as per their usual M.O.  InBev is also a major global corporation with many large brands in its stable I highly doubt the entire corporation is tanking because of this one limited consumer boycott of this one brand  2 1 Quote

Lots were. But then a lot of 'em did something natural. They grew up. My take on this...meh...if they wanna appeal to Trannies, they should put fruit juice in the brew. I never liked Bud. While living in Bohemia, I tried the original Budvar. Didn't like it much either. But sales plummeted after this silly virtue-signal came out. Case closed.

Let's assume for a moment that all the overblown hyperbole generated by by right-wing media were true. You are still advocating taking the choice out of the hands of parents and trained medical professionals and placing it in the hands of legislators. And, IMHO, that should be avoided at all costs.

OftenWrong Posted April 15, 2023 Report Posted April 15, 2023 Budweiser. Rice beer, you say? Phhh...   ? It wasn't worth drinking before. Sure is hella not worth it now. Why would they do this anyway? What kind of beer needs to go woke? Answer - the ones who suck. I mean figuratively, metaphorically. Not...  In other words failed product. Use wokism as marketing campaign. And of course, the suckers go for it. I would not drink that swill in any case. Let alone Bud Light. Am a Coors light man... Quote

Nobody likes that. Quote
