I love the response you're getting. A wholesome community until you have a different opinion. This is how you know Lemmy is simply comprised of the top crust layer of Reddit. The worst it had to offer.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago (1 children)

When that opinion is deeply harmful, is directly contrary to all scientific evidence, results in actual groomers (not trans people) being able to take advantage of ignorance, and is generally used by bigots as a wedge to repress sexual education well beyond teen years--yeah this is the response you get

A wholesome community until you have a different opinion.

"Please tolerate my intolerance! You have to support me wanting people removed from the public! I'm normal!! You need to treat me equal while I don't treat people equal, or you're being hypocritical!!!"

"if you oppose my views, you're a bigot, and I don't debate bigots, hence I won't debate you. I win"

See, I can put words in quotation marks too. Look how cool we look.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance. This paradox was articulated by philosopher Karl Popper in The Open Society and Its Enemies (1945),[1] where he argued that a truly tolerant society must retain the right to deny tolerance to those who promote intolerance. Popper posited that if intolerant ideologies are allowed unchecked expression, they could exploit open society values to erode or destroy tolerance itself through authoritarian or oppressive practices.

This paradox raises complex issues about the limits of freedom, especially concerning free speech and the protection of liberal democratic values. It has implications for contemporary debates on managing hate speech, political extremism, and social policies aimed at fostering inclusivity without compromising the integrity of democratic tolerance.

Above room temperature IQ shit, please use the brain I assume you're equipped with, but my faith in that is dwindling.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh, wow, a concept someone conceived.

I don't see an opposing view as intolerance, thus your link is moot.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

When the original viewpoint is that trans people exist and are valuable, opposition to that viewpoint is most certainly intolerant.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Opposing the views that trans people exist and that their rights matter does, indeed, make you a bigot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Of course they exist. You can literally see them. And they have the same rights as I do, assuming they are a legal citizen of the USA.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And they have the same rights as I do, assuming they are a legal citizen of the USA.

No. No they don't. Trump has ensured that.

This is from 19 days ago and he has done a lot more since.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/6-ways-trumps-executive-orders-are-targeting-transgender-people

In just one example- A cisgender person will have no trouble getting things like testosterone or estrogen if their doctor says they need it. Trans people are losing that right.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I doubt there is a federal, state, or local law, or in the constitution that states you have a right to getting testosterone or estrogen.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sorry... you think medical care isn't a right?

And if not, don't you think maybe it should be?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

This is not debatable. In the US, the constitution does not guarantee a right to healthcare. No federal or state laws guarantee a right to healthcare. Even though the federal government offer several healthcare related program (medicare, medicad, etc..) but they are not required under any federal law to do so.

To answer your question, yes, I do believe legal citizens should have a right to healthcare. A person should not go bankrupt because they contracted cancer.

So, when you make a statement saying T people are being denied a right to healthcare, you're spreading misinformation. They have the same rights as myself and every other legal citizen.

I would be equally outraged if the government decided a specific racial group, for example, was told they don't have the right to an attorney when being prosecuted. Because that would be being denied an actual right that everyone else enjoys.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Here's an idea for you: leave.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No. But the offer is appreciated all the same. I know you would love it more if you only engaged with people who think exactly like you, and only have the opinions and conclusions you do. It feels good to constantly have your ideology and agenda confirmed. Makes you feel superior.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

No, I don't mind your difference in opinion, I'm more concerned with your vitriolic attitude, personally.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You know Garak is gay, right?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with this information.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Show solidarity by not considering "think of the children" transphobia as simply a "different opinion." It's not far from considering homosexuals "sick in the head."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No one was talking about gay people. This is the problem when you try to lump a bunch of alphabet letters into the same group. They're not a monolith.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No, they're not, but the people who want to oppress them and wipe them from existence don't care about that. Don't help them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm not attempting to help or not help anyone. That's not my job. But I won't stifle my words or yours because someone, somewhere thinks it might be "harming" someone.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I wish you had more empathy, but I'll just have to hope that your words don't harm anyone, then. The depression and suicide rate for trans people is high for a reason.

"I'm not queerphobic, I'm just a plain and simple tailor..."

Garak: Oh, I don't know...

Quark: Come on. Aren't you just a little bit curious?
