      More like 80%, the last part about JK Rowling was bullshit. Being bigoted is still nothing to be celebrated. I'm not calling for the Harry Potter books to be removed from shelves, but celebrating her for intimating that transgender people are #notourcrimes, meaning they are less than "normal" is still wrong. Did he really say "women don't torture cats"? I didn't know cat torture happened only along gender lines.

      All I ever heard her say was that she was proud of her accomplishments as a woman. She has been supportive of LGBTQ otherwise. It's kinda like the same BS Dave Chappelle controversy. I'm gay and watched his special and didn't see anything malicious about it and thought that whole section was actually supportive. It's ultra-sensitive types getting worked up over nothing because they LIVE to find things to be upset about. And off-color/bad taste jokes aren't inherently malicious. And others shouldn't simply be falling-in-line to the fake outrage out of worry they might get attacked too.

Human rights standards that Nelson Mandela put in place. Biden took Title 9 away: fairness in sports. Rights that were fought for 50 years ago and won. My right to bodily autonomy in females spaces was taken my the democrats. You see how abused JK Rawling is for speaking out about HER rights. Democrats think shutting women up is "progressive." If women can't express their opinion about their rights who can? Who has the privilege? Yes the underdog! What Bill did was very brave.

      Since you ask nicely I will tell you my opinion - of course I can't speak for MS. Rowling. The body is set at birth for most people (not gonna talk about hermaphrodites) and their formative years are them growing as one sex or the other. Changing sex young means you must DECEIVE other people by dressing as the other sex. Deceit is never appreciated.If I had a girlfriend who suddenly told me she was going male that puts everything I believed about our friendship is a lie. And yes, I would be angry and weirded out.The deceit of the thing is the entire issue for me. And those who have the change but still look obviously their original sex, well what do you expect of human beings in reaction to that?@@John-kx9vq

      There's just too many different feminists for anyone to give a single answer to your question. I do think that the LGB community and the T community stand for different things though, and should not be grouped together: one group wants to say that if your a man then you're allowed to be with another man and if you're a woman you're allowed to be with another woman. The other group wants 95% of the world's population to change their definitions for the word "man" and "woman".

But gay is fine - some people are just born gay. I agree with you that some people want friends who are trans accepted and so want to force everyone to accept them as well.

    4:09 that ban also forbade buying products from companies headquartered in those states. This led to even higher prices for products and services in the state. Causing the state to spend millions of dollars more than if they had been able to shop for cheaper goods. Millions of dollars of Taxpayers’ money. Local businesses were able to raise their prices to outlandish levels knowing they couldn’t be under bid. It also caused costly delays because the companies they could deal with were unable to meet the demand. This caused gaps in service to needy people because the cupboards were bare.

    We need more of this. A little less woke from the left and a lot less racist and crazy from the right. Everyone come back a little closer to the center and just enjoy life again. So much of the things we constantly bicker about is so petty. Life's too short. Let's focus on what we have in common. We're better than what we've become.

    I have an early nomination for next year's awards. Bobby Weaver of Pottsville PA, the owner of Black Rock Brewery, a local bewpub. The brewery suffered a fire in May 2023, which caused the building to be condemned by the city until 67 code violations were addressed and the building re-inspected. He has addressed the violations and had a private inspector come in to verify the place was code compliant. He has been requesting an official inspection by the city for months, and the building is less than 100 yards from City Hall, but no inspection. So, in full compliance with PA law, he decided to open up the grounds (not the building) for an event offering free beer. The city has raised holy hell, initially claiming they would stop the event from happening but Bobby has stood firm. The latest is that they're going to show up and cite him for some bullshit, but allow the event to take place. I spoke with him yesterday as he was overseeing some construction for the event, and he's going to see this through and officially reopen. Tonight is the night of the free beer event.
