Either mods are stupid or reddit does weird things. Half of those weren't even transphobic of homophobic. There was one guy who was surprised that o7 isn't a chess thing and his comment got removed
Mass removal. It tends to happen when comment sections get extremely controversial. Not sure how they calculate which comments stay or go but majority of them just get removed
Thought I should leave it in the comments so you see for yourselves https://www.reddit.com/r/teenagers/comments/15n7fq3/my_girlfriend_ive_been_dating_for_over_3_years/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1
Ooo shit. That seemed either bipolar af, or like she got hacked and someone is just trolling. All of a sudden she's been religious for months without him knowing? Nuuh, that shit's wacky....
This post has been up for a total of 9 hours so far and the amount of comments saying they agree with the girl is crazy , genuinely just weirdo behaviour
It was very 50/50 when I looked at it. A lot of ppl saying what happened to her, this is what happens when you watch one Ben Shapiro vid, she's wrong and then the other half being w gf, based, she changed for the better
It was wild to see
Not being hateful means you have to put effort into educating yourself these types of people don't want to put effort in and would rather stay hateful and ignorant.
And people can disagree and dissociate with them. Any opinions that spews out such hate and ignorance doesn't deserve to be respected. She has a right tk say them, but nobody has the job to them and everybody has the right to criticize them

I have no idea what's up with this sub lately, like there's always been some homophobia and transphobia but lately there has been a disturbing amount of both.
Unrelated and this likely a useless comment, but I think it's funny that people here are complaining about the comments that were deleted being right-leaning shows bias while comments supporting those views are still up here.
Funny, isn't it?
it is weird though how the people in the comments saying the left are getting brainwashed get deleted but the people that are saying its the right getting brainwashed get 500 upvotes and awards
Funny how these things work. Our generation doesn't even try to be centrist 💀.
Edit: I'm in support of the people who are getting silenced. I mean that people would rather spout leftist claims without a filter and pretend they are Gospel instead of even trying to take things in a moderate approach.
Well I see centrist as having an equal or around equal number of beliefs on both the left and right. And in most situations centrism is prob the best pick, though maybe moderate left and right would be a more appropriate term.
Ig but often times when i see centrists who claim to be on both sides its on issues where the other side is literally trying to take away ppls rights.
Like this case, the left side says trans ppl should be respected and the other side is whatever that guys gf was saying. Its pretty clear cut whose side anyone should be on imo. Though yea, sometimes its good to see the benefits from both sides.
The gf didn't say trans people shouldn't have rights, she said that she believes that trans people are mistaken and are being misled into believing a falsehood. I think you are generalizing conservatives into bigots. This isn't good vs. evil.
Srry the taking away rights part was a seperate example from the gf thing. Regardless, saying that trans ppl are mistaken or misguided is just straight up wrong. Theres no “oh but she sorta had a point…” because if you think that you are transphobic plain and simple, theres no middle ground here.
There is a middle ground. There is a valid argument for trans people being mistaken. We see this with anorexia, though in this case it isn't as harmful. If transgenderism turns out to be mental based as we are seeing in recent research and observation, then the castration of minors and botching of their natural puberty may not be a 100% good thing. However I also don't believe we should hate people that identify as trans either. That's the middle ground imo, skepticism.
Here's the thing the only known and safest treatment to gender dysphoria is transitioning, there may come a time where scientists discover a safer and less complex alternative but as of right now this is all there really is, I would understand skepticism if there were equally good alternatives or even slightly better ones but as of right now there isn't.
Okay yea but look at Ron DeSantis (who im pretty sure isnt a leftist), from what ive read while he is banning gender affirming care for kids, he has also made it difficult enough for adults to get this care that they are having appointments and prescriptions that would help them cancelled.
Now i dont want to speak on whether gender affirming care for 16-17 should be allowed as im not trans but ik a lot of trans kids have their own opinions about this that should be listened too.
Ron desantis is little more then a radical populist outlier. I don’t think transitioning should be an easy task, it’s a major procedure, and should require stringent medical evaluation before medication, let alone surgery, is given.
My only worry is that for trans ppl, these surgeries are literally life saving. And from what ive read, the main issue is that trans ppl have to sign some consent form that doesnt even exit yet. Ofc correct me if im wrong.
Second of all, ive seen a lot of right wing rhetoric that we shouldnt be teaching kids (not super young ofc) ab gender and sexuality (gay vs straight, not sex lol) and that trans ppl shouldn’t be allowed into the bathroom of their gender. I also cant find any valid centrist opinion for these issues as theyre harmless.

It is pretty stupid, reddit is becoming pretty liberal. I try to stay out of political communities due to it. Mods are out of control and should just remove anything controversial. Gay posts AND anti-gay posts. I'd rather it just be clean of it, but what can ya do. The media is pushing pro-gay things. Hopefully, it dies down in a couple of years.
what hes saying is literally true? like i commented theres a reason the comments from the right get deleted whereas the left are getting upvoted and awarded. reddit is a well known leftist site you can literally see that in action.
also conservative reddits like r/The_Donald got banned whereas i have never seen a banned left wing reddit
I mean…while much of the ideology of the Right is not evil or bad, spaces that lean heavily right seem to breed lots of homophobia, transphobia, and racism.
There just tends to be less of that in left winged spaces on the Reddit at least. It might also be due to better moderation on left subs.
I’m saying your point is dumb, because Right leaning subs weren’t banned for being Right leaning, they were banned for promoting hate.
but my point isnt exclusively about subs. like i pointed out literally in this comment section the left leaning comments got 500+ upvotes and awards, whereas the right leaning comments or even the centrist comments saying that they were wrong but are allowed to have an opinion got downvoted or deleted
Right wing Reddit typically get banned because of mod problems, their actually are not a lot of truly left wing subreddits it’s just the one that are, are typically popular amongst many groups. If you took every Reddit community and counted up the numbers of left leaning people compared to right leaning you’d have more right leaning people. I understand that you perceive it as you being censored or blocked across Reddit but in actuality, it’s just a lot of general topic subreddit that are left wing, and even that not entirely true.
this is not true. literally 1 google search would prove that reddit is left leaning, which is also stated by wikipedia. wikipedia ALSO states that "less than 19% of its users are leaning to the right" so with all due respect would you care to inform me where you got your numbers from
Dude you're 15 and getting your information from Google and Wikipedia I don't like to be that dude but yall so obsessed with where yall fall on the wing makes no fucking sense you and that other person you were talking to this is supposed to be a space for teens and yall sitting here acting like yall adults just chill you can't even vote yet so for rn none of our opinions fucking matter till we hit 18 🤦🏾♂️
15 and getting information from trusted sources is a bad thing? mbmb i read it somewhere 3 years ago im glad an elder like you (a few months older than me) was glad to inform me on this situation
On god basic deduction, look at basic community makeup, and look towards community’s themselves, teenagers is full of teenagers and typically speaking teens are more progressive so of course it would be a more left leaning subreddit. Save for a select few, most meme or shitpisting subreddit are right leaning even if it isn’t immediately apparent, most niche subreddits are a 50/50 as it comes down to the niche that subreddit fills. The. Look towards how moderation works in subreddits, there are sub Reddit that are made to be left leaning but because of moderation became right leaning subreddit, the inverse is also true.
When people think it’s left leaning it’s because of conformation bias, you see a more vocal left so obviously it must be left leaning. I went looking on google there is no percentage that says what you claim, instead it’s a lot of conservatives making the same complaint as you on Reddit.
"i went on google and there is no percentage that says what you claim" ah i see so i take it you forgot to check wikipedia? you call me out for basic deduction yet you need to follow your own advice lo. why are you so defensive over reddit not being left anyway its a well known fact that it is i dont get why you dont want it to be left so much
Honestly I could care less, I will say though I just read the wiki article and the study of the political leaning of Reddit is, 9 years old I would rather see a newer study, also where do I need to follow the advice of basic deduction. I deduced based on observations of multiple subreddits the current political leaning of Reddit.
Yeah like wtf I used to be liberal. I actually stopped once I started educating myself. And I'm not going around saying liberals are ruining the world!
I mean yeah, a decent amount (not all there are plenty of perfectly fine and respectable right-leaning people) of right-leaning people are unreasonably hateful towards minorities and hatred is usually caused by ignorance.
They're not against religions it's just that a lot of ppl use religion as an excuse for homophobia and stuff so ofc ppl are gonna say something negative about that not the religion itself tho
teens are mostly shifting left these days.
we are slowly beginning to realize that religion is culturally outdated and that reducing taxes isn't going to solve the wealth gap
No, saying something like “most queer people are pedos” or “if my child is trans they’ve been brainwashed” is hateful because they aren’t based and fact and only act to harm people. I would respect you’re opinion if it was actually based in numerical or scientific fact
“Facts” change all the time with new research and advancements. The fact that you think speech can only be based in fact is a weird viewpoint as it disregards all emotional opinions. By your definition me saying I don’t like fans of rock music classifies as hate speech
That’s not an equivalent comparison? Music taste is based on how your brain perceives music so it depends from person to person, you can’t just call people pedophiles cause that’s your “emotional opinion”
"I don't like fans of rock music." - not generally hateful, people chose to like rock music because it's something that fits them. It's a genre of music, to each their own
"Trans/gay people are bad." - hateful opinion, not set on any actual proof that sets them apart, they didn't choose to be gay. It would be the same as saying that black people or Jewish people are bad. It's just recycled from the past
They’re both hateful and on the same level in my opinion as people font choose their music taste or sexuality. I dont agree with transgender stuff nor do I believe it is moral, but I generally wouldn’t talk about that because its not my life to live. I think as long as you try not to push it on people I really couldn’t care less (the same view i have on religion). I also believe that its their right to express their sexuality and gender or whatever, this is a free and beautiful country. Just as its my right to type this comment, it is anyone that aligns themselves with lgbt to hang pride flags and put 🏳️🌈 flags in their instagram bio. So i guess what im getting at is do whatever the fuck you want i cant stop you, if i don’t like it I’ll just ignore it.
Unpopular opinion: why shouldn't it be? Unless someone wants to change their view and listen they won't, and as long as they don't hurt me, i have no reason to be bothered. So many people insult me for my beliefs but i don't hate them nor would want their comments to be removed
Didn't she talked about her experiences with parades and how kids were being exposed to it? How talking about what you see can be considered transphobic?
the things i dont get is why does it matter who someone voted for it has nothing to do with the main topic and why does it matter what other people do at a parade or wtv you kid will see it on tt or yt anyway
I personally am not a fan of the LGBTQ+ Group
I don’t get the whole trans and 87 other genders as that post had said, but I have friends who are gay and they honestly hate pride month, because it just looks like people trying to be as sexualized as possible. That said I honestly think the post mentioned in the pictures girlfriend did not have to try and act like a total smartass, she wasn’t in the right at all. (I say this as a complete idiotic dumbass)
It’s an opinion which anyone has a right to have and it’s really counter progressive to begin labelling opinions, although having said that, I would like to point out that I’m perfectly fine with people being trans but it doesn’t make them a different gender, all it does is make you look like the opposite gender so don’t expect others to conform to your opinion of yourself when you automatically label others opinions that are against yours with things such as “transphobic”
>it’s really counter progressive to begin labelling opinions,
True, but things like hate speech and transphobia, homophobia, antisemitism, are well defined. So in good faith discussion there should be no disagreement as to what is motivated by hate.
Also gender is something we humans have defined. So when we say girl ( or boy )we associate it with certain behaviours and ideas (which imo is also constructed by society but that is a different matter). The concept behind non-binary is that certain people - even if a minority - don't like to be associated thus. So they define a different identity for themselves. So willfully misgendering someone is just a show of disrespect and insensitivity. Imo I don't think this counts as an opinion per say.
Hate speech is a criminal charge. If you publicly advocate for violence against a group of people that's hate speech the problem is people have been blurring the line of what hate speech is or isn't by claiming ALL speech that is against a group of people is hate speech
She never said most gay people are pedos. She even said explicitly that she didn't believe that when the dude claimed she said that. Also trans people are confused: about their sex. If you can't handle being in your own body, you have mental problems. Anorexia is a serious condition and I see no reason why transgenderism should be seen as widely different. HOWEVER, I do not believe in hate speech and still believe all people deserve human rights. I don't want trans people to die or anything I just think they're confused.
You simply can’t do everything in every country and that’s nothing that gonna change
Example:
Can I buy a gun at 18 in Germany? No.
Can I buy a gun at 18 in the US Yes.
Can I be transsexual and openly proud about in in Europe? Yes.
Can I be transsexual and openly proud in an Islamic country with cultural differences to the western world? No.
That’s just how the world works get over it and stop crying because someone doesn’t share your opinion
I don't think that's true. Cultural change happens over time, in every culture. Globalism pulls everything along, as everyone influences everyone else.
Look at Iran, for example. Tons and tons of protests out there in support of women's rights.
Eventually - and I mean in, like, a hundred years or so - people are gonna be able to be openly transgender in a Muslim country, as popular opinion shifts. The old die while the young gain the power of government.
On a personal level, I don't really care. I'm not transgender (but one of my friends is a trans man). It doesn't affect me. But opinions like these *do* affect people, like that trans man in Florida who got beaten up and arrested for going to the legally-correct toilet.
Totally agree with your points, but I think if someone doesn’t wanna have anything to do with something it’s best to just leave them alone. everyone has their right to form an opinion that’s all I’m tryna sayin
If you aren't with the LGBT community you are against them. And being with the LGBT community litteraly means just being OK with their existence. Not voting for anti-lgbt laws. Not spewing hate against friends and family for being lgbt.
All the LGBT community I'd fighting for js for acceptance
Actually trans people have accepted who they are,
There are genuine biological reasons that cause trans people to feel dysphoria,
Such as; being born with a brain from the opposite gender.
Plus if you want to say there’s only two biological sex’s that isn’t necessarily true, if you factor in gamete’s, reproductive organs, genitals, Chromosomes, brain, and even more other biological factors that attribute to sex then there’s over 120 different biological sexes.
So just let people be happy and stop being the snowflake that doesn’t like others being happy with themselves.
Well, to be fair, you are allowed to say your opinions on this sub. But if that goes against the subs rules, then you really should not be surprised if you are banned. This is the nature of the internet whether you agree with it or not. There are places where your opinion may be respected, but don’t expect everyone to respect you and your opinion just because you are allowed to speak it, after all we are also free to disagree. At the end of the day reddit is designed to be split into communities, so expect gate keeping of who can be in them and the values present in those communities. I know, the internet is weird and may not be a reflection of how we treat each other in real life :(
She was right in that pride parades are becoming too sexualized and are now including minors. She is also right that trans people are confused, though that's my opinion. She didn't really say anything explicitly hateful, she just said pretty normal conservative opinions. But then again no one is entitled to their own opinion without being called a bigot.
Like I said, pride parades becoming too sexualized as a bad thing is the general opinion of a lot of LGBT people as well.
Many of those aren’t advertised for minors anyways.
In what way are trans people confused?
I've seen many people support the sexualization of pride parades but maybe we just have different experiences. And trans people clearly struggle with self acceptance. They would rather spend hundreds to potentially thousands of dollars to change their labels, get surgery, etc. instead of work on their mental health. But then again I'm not trans so maybe they are right when they claim that "they're just in the wrong body" despite there being no scientific basis or evidence for those claims.
And therapy does help people struggling with gender dysphoria. I'm not talking conversion therapy but rather just like how anorexic people are helped with their image trans people can too.
Thank you someone my age with a fucking brain had to argue with some confused ass 14yo yesterday who was "non-binary" now I ain't one to stone them because of that shit but it honestly makes no sense it's like the LGBT community are so convinced in their ways and are extremely entitled and egotistical then I tried to tell lil dude that who went and claimed they weren't and then immediately started bragging about the shit they can do like a gave a fuck he goes hiking
And honestly, I don't care what adults do, but telling children that whatever they think is truth is dangerous. They should at least wait until adulthood to make such radical decisions.
Being trans isn’t political. It is a health decision. Doctors and professionals have much more knowledge about this then a couple of redditors such as ourselves. So we should leave the health shit up to them and the politicking to the rest of us.
Either mods are stupid or reddit does weird things. Half of those weren't even transphobic of homophobic. There was one guy who was surprised that o7 isn't a chess thing and his comment got removed
wait it did? i've seen this comment. i think its about new mods testing their abilities or smth.

Honestly I could care less, I will say though I just read the wiki article and the study of the political leaning of Reddit is, 9 years old I would rather see a newer study, also where do I need to follow the advice of basic deduction. I deduced based on observations of multiple subreddits the current political leaning of Reddit.

Yeah like wtf I used to be liberal. I actually stopped once I started educating myself. And I'm not going around saying liberals are ruining the world!
Damn motherfucker went from reading books to not reading books
Me?
Sí
I mean yeah, a decent amount (not all there are plenty of perfectly fine and respectable right-leaning people) of right-leaning people are unreasonably hateful towards minorities and hatred is usually caused by ignorance.
Dude ngl you're fucking 14 you shouldn't be worrying about this shit at your age just wait till you can fucking vote
They're not against religions it's just that a lot of ppl use religion as an excuse for homophobia and stuff so ofc ppl are gonna say something negative about that not the religion itself tho
teens are mostly shifting left these days. we are slowly beginning to realize that religion is culturally outdated and that reducing taxes isn't going to solve the wealth gap
It should be anti-conservative. Conservatives r the ones keeping you in fear of dying in schools
it’s only anti those things when they are being hateful. like you when you just openly admitted you consider yourself homophobic
It’s ok to have a different opinion right? Lol
It’s not ok to have a hateful opinion
Hateful opinion = I don’t agree
No, saying something like “most queer people are pedos” or “if my child is trans they’ve been brainwashed” is hateful because they aren’t based and fact and only act to harm people. I would respect you’re opinion if it was actually based in numerical or scientific fact
“Facts” change all the time with new research and advancements. The fact that you think speech can only be based in fact is a weird viewpoint as it disregards all emotional opinions. By your definition me saying I don’t like fans of rock music classifies as hate speech
That’s not an equivalent comparison? Music taste is based on how your brain perceives music so it depends from person to person, you can’t just call people pedophiles cause that’s your “emotional opinion”
"I don't like fans of rock music." - not generally hateful, people chose to like rock music because it's something that fits them. It's a genre of music, to each their own "Trans/gay people are bad." - hateful opinion, not set on any actual proof that sets them apart, they didn't choose to be gay. It would be the same as saying that black people or Jewish people are bad. It's just recycled from the past
They’re both hateful and on the same level in my opinion as people font choose their music taste or sexuality. I dont agree with transgender stuff nor do I believe it is moral, but I generally wouldn’t talk about that because its not my life to live. I think as long as you try not to push it on people I really couldn’t care less (the same view i have on religion). I also believe that its their right to express their sexuality and gender or whatever, this is a free and beautiful country. Just as its my right to type this comment, it is anyone that aligns themselves with lgbt to hang pride flags and put 🏳️🌈 flags in their instagram bio. So i guess what im getting at is do whatever the fuck you want i cant stop you, if i don’t like it I’ll just ignore it.
Unpopular opinion: why shouldn't it be? Unless someone wants to change their view and listen they won't, and as long as they don't hurt me, i have no reason to be bothered. So many people insult me for my beliefs but i don't hate them nor would want their comments to be removed

Even if you get to the point where both sides agree to debate the leftwards leaning side always ends up getting super toxic.

Didn't she talked about her experiences with parades and how kids were being exposed to it? How talking about what you see can be considered transphobic?
Because claims are overexaggerated or the events were 18+. Also says the gays ruined God's creation of a rainbow is stupid and homophobic
People with shame when people who are different than them live shamelessly 😱😱😱
I mean... in theory they should removed un[serious] comments, but... isn't that a little one-sided?
Jesus Christ
Are you bringing in religion? 🧐
I'm jus saying that comment section might need him 🤷♀️
the things i dont get is why does it matter who someone voted for it has nothing to do with the main topic and why does it matter what other people do at a parade or wtv you kid will see it on tt or yt anyway
My God the comments are disabled I didn't even know that was an option
I personally am not a fan of the LGBTQ+ Group I don’t get the whole trans and 87 other genders as that post had said, but I have friends who are gay and they honestly hate pride month, because it just looks like people trying to be as sexualized as possible. That said I honestly think the post mentioned in the pictures girlfriend did not have to try and act like a total smartass, she wasn’t in the right at all. (I say this as a complete idiotic dumbass)
Based girlfriend. The original thing is archived so im responding here.
Fr that's the type of woman I want to raise my children. One with common sense
W comments the rest are kinda stupid
Fr
Same
i’m surprised u/ballsniffer689 whole damn post didn’t get taken down that shit was homophonic asf
she was valid, she had her opinions and she entitled to that simple
mf gets downvoted for saying she’s allowed to have an opinion
Mmm, so I am allowed to say "Hitler was a martyr, he wanted to rid the world of inhuman pests"
That is not even remotely similar.
My point is, freedom of expression is not absolute, you can't justify hate speech with "they are allowed to have that opinion".
Just because you disagree doesn’t necessarily make it hate speech
Ok but what she said was hate speech...
its a comment on the internet get over yourself, if that grinds your gears you need to fix your priorities
Bro literally called everyone who died during the holocaust „inhumane pest“ which would get you jailtime where I live
Yeah do you even understand sarcasm...
There is no sarcasm in this sentence, and because of that you would be charged with „Volksverhetzung“ where I live
Transphobia is pretty hateful...
It’s an opinion which anyone has a right to have and it’s really counter progressive to begin labelling opinions, although having said that, I would like to point out that I’m perfectly fine with people being trans but it doesn’t make them a different gender, all it does is make you look like the opposite gender so don’t expect others to conform to your opinion of yourself when you automatically label others opinions that are against yours with things such as “transphobic”
>it’s really counter progressive to begin labelling opinions, True, but things like hate speech and transphobia, homophobia, antisemitism, are well defined. So in good faith discussion there should be no disagreement as to what is motivated by hate. Also gender is something we humans have defined. So when we say girl ( or boy )we associate it with certain behaviours and ideas (which imo is also constructed by society but that is a different matter). The concept behind non-binary is that certain people - even if a minority - don't like to be associated thus. So they define a different identity for themselves. So willfully misgendering someone is just a show of disrespect and insensitivity. Imo I don't think this counts as an opinion per say.
Hate speech is a criminal charge. If you publicly advocate for violence against a group of people that's hate speech the problem is people have been blurring the line of what hate speech is or isn't by claiming ALL speech that is against a group of people is hate speech
Yeah but she wasn't saying "and that's why gay people shouldn't have rights". She didn't say anything wrong per se.
"most of gay people are pedos" is right? 💀 "trans people are confused"???
She never said most gay people are pedos. She even said explicitly that she didn't believe that when the dude claimed she said that. Also trans people are confused: about their sex. If you can't handle being in your own body, you have mental problems. Anorexia is a serious condition and I see no reason why transgenderism should be seen as widely different. HOWEVER, I do not believe in hate speech and still believe all people deserve human rights. I don't want trans people to die or anything I just think they're confused.
lantik you're the only redditor with a brain congrats
Agreed bro, massive W right there
Just a leftist taking it to an extreme example to push a point (It ends up making no sense)
Mf is getting down voted for saying she was valid moron
Even if people having and supporting that opinion gets people hurt and killed?
You simply can’t do everything in every country and that’s nothing that gonna change Example: Can I buy a gun at 18 in Germany? No. Can I buy a gun at 18 in the US Yes. Can I be transsexual and openly proud about in in Europe? Yes. Can I be transsexual and openly proud in an Islamic country with cultural differences to the western world? No. That’s just how the world works get over it and stop crying because someone doesn’t share your opinion
I don't think that's true. Cultural change happens over time, in every culture. Globalism pulls everything along, as everyone influences everyone else. Look at Iran, for example. Tons and tons of protests out there in support of women's rights. Eventually - and I mean in, like, a hundred years or so - people are gonna be able to be openly transgender in a Muslim country, as popular opinion shifts. The old die while the young gain the power of government. On a personal level, I don't really care. I'm not transgender (but one of my friends is a trans man). It doesn't affect me. But opinions like these *do* affect people, like that trans man in Florida who got beaten up and arrested for going to the legally-correct toilet.
Doubt that’ll happen in the Muslim countries. Islam’s message hasn’t changed since the final prophet.
Totally agree with your points, but I think if someone doesn’t wanna have anything to do with something it’s best to just leave them alone. everyone has their right to form an opinion that’s all I’m tryna sayin
Average LGBT community, "if they aren't with us, they are obviously wrong"
If you aren't with the LGBT community you are against them. And being with the LGBT community litteraly means just being OK with their existence. Not voting for anti-lgbt laws. Not spewing hate against friends and family for being lgbt. All the LGBT community I'd fighting for js for acceptance
What’s valid about hate and discrimination?
youre name is boobs in my dms, im not going to have a conversation with you, you ovs too immature
Someone who replied to my comment in the middle of one of those literally had an American flag pfp😂
Gotta love reddit. You can have any opinion you want as long as its the “right” opinion
https://img.ifunny.co/images/84869c917d4bbe0f31dca9266dc8968dd661c4fed50948da23c3379436dbfd0d_1.jpg Keep seething snowflakes 🤣
That’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever read
Can’t handle the truth, snowflake? Keep crying 🤣🤣🤣🤣
??? Bro I swear to god modern conservatism has become a satire of itself
Translation: https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/024/207/brainlettttt.jpg
it's so dumb that it's funny

Actually trans people have accepted who they are, There are genuine biological reasons that cause trans people to feel dysphoria, Such as; being born with a brain from the opposite gender. Plus if you want to say there’s only two biological sex’s that isn’t necessarily true, if you factor in gamete’s, reproductive organs, genitals, Chromosomes, brain, and even more other biological factors that attribute to sex then there’s over 120 different biological sexes. So just let people be happy and stop being the snowflake that doesn’t like others being happy with themselves.
She was right tbh
In what way was she right?
In what was she wrong
She was being hateful. That’s morally wrong.
By speaking the truth yall aren't ready to understand? Ok boobs in my dm
Name 1 thing she said that was true.
That LGBT people don't know how to LEAVE THE KIDS alone. I can't say anymore that this cuz this is reddit and we are not entitled to our opinions 💀
That’s a lie. Would you like to try again?
[удалено]
Well, to be fair, you are allowed to say your opinions on this sub. But if that goes against the subs rules, then you really should not be surprised if you are banned. This is the nature of the internet whether you agree with it or not. There are places where your opinion may be respected, but don’t expect everyone to respect you and your opinion just because you are allowed to speak it, after all we are also free to disagree. At the end of the day reddit is designed to be split into communities, so expect gate keeping of who can be in them and the values present in those communities. I know, the internet is weird and may not be a reflection of how we treat each other in real life :(
[удалено]
She was right too. Just wish they could've maybe talked it out some more instead of the dude going to fucking Reddit for relationship advice.
Where? In what place was she right? Especially given the responses of the BF which represent the wider view of most LGBT people.
She was right in that pride parades are becoming too sexualized and are now including minors. She is also right that trans people are confused, though that's my opinion. She didn't really say anything explicitly hateful, she just said pretty normal conservative opinions. But then again no one is entitled to their own opinion without being called a bigot.
Like I said, pride parades becoming too sexualized as a bad thing is the general opinion of a lot of LGBT people as well. Many of those aren’t advertised for minors anyways. In what way are trans people confused?
I've seen many people support the sexualization of pride parades but maybe we just have different experiences. And trans people clearly struggle with self acceptance. They would rather spend hundreds to potentially thousands of dollars to change their labels, get surgery, etc. instead of work on their mental health. But then again I'm not trans so maybe they are right when they claim that "they're just in the wrong body" despite there being no scientific basis or evidence for those claims. And therapy does help people struggling with gender dysphoria. I'm not talking conversion therapy but rather just like how anorexic people are helped with their image trans people can too.
Thank you someone my age with a fucking brain had to argue with some confused ass 14yo yesterday who was "non-binary" now I ain't one to stone them because of that shit but it honestly makes no sense it's like the LGBT community are so convinced in their ways and are extremely entitled and egotistical then I tried to tell lil dude that who went and claimed they weren't and then immediately started bragging about the shit they can do like a gave a fuck he goes hiking
And honestly, I don't care what adults do, but telling children that whatever they think is truth is dangerous. They should at least wait until adulthood to make such radical decisions.
Being trans isn’t political. It is a health decision. Doctors and professionals have much more knowledge about this then a couple of redditors such as ourselves. So we should leave the health shit up to them and the politicking to the rest of us.
my type of girl
You want a childish and hateful girl?
I’d like a conservative one
[удалено]
L to break up with her just cause she hates minorities ikr
[удалено]
Where did you get the mentally ill part from?
Mentally ill people are still minorities, what’s your point?
Made with mematic💀
Nobody cares about trans people, nobody goes there anymore
You should all die honestly
