US officials have been pushing for the rewriting of general assembly policy statements to remove what the administration argues is vague and politically correct language, reflecting what it sees as an “ideology” of treating gender as an individual choice rather than an unchangeable biological fact. The US officials involved in the changes are understood to have been sent from Washington, and were not full-time diplomats in the US mission. To succeed in its campaign, the US will have to forge unusual alliances, with Russia and conservative Islamic states, against its western European partners. Nice, Trump sent some joker to them not even affiliated with the US delegation to the UN to start some shit
I can never understand how people can be such cunts for no reason other than wanting to be one.
They view transgender people as as bad as pedophiles, they think it's abominable
Worse than* After all they'll actively defend pedophiles.
It's just...a new thing every single fucking day. All any of us want is to exist and get the same equal rights as every other person. But no. Just wanting that is asking to much and our lives should be made a living hell because of it.
Exist.
Why the fuck are human rights a partisan issue?
Because it's the US. There is quite literally nothing at this point that isn't some sort of partisan issue. You didn't have some meat in your breakfast meal so you're not a true red blooded american, bla bla.
They see it as an attack on (what they consider to be) science and male identity.
They're born and raised in a subculture where only psychopaths prosper. It's nature to them.
And UN's human rights panel is led by a fucking Saudi Arabia. Fuck off, you Orange Cretin. Let people live their lives.
Because (once again) conservatives are making it partisan
It's fun having to continue living my life knowing that I have no means to leave the country in the case that this escalates to the point that I need to If they wanted to just start rounding us up than that'd be the end of the road for me, it's completely out of my hands
not to sound like one of those nutters but the 2nd amendment exists for this reason
This is just depressing to read.
All I can say is if worst comes to worst, don't take it laying down. Fight 'till your last breath. Make it as hard as possible for them. I know I'll go down screaming and kicking if it comes to that. After all, if it gets to that point, what else to you have to lose?
Those in positions of power use ignorance and fear to pit masses against eachother to make oppression seem like it comes from below intead of above.
Tiiiime to get a CCW!
Basically it's confusing, what happens when people don't understand something? It's an easy guess. I'll admit I don't really follow it and I do wish it was more simple, but I don't get annoyed at it, if people want to choose their Gender because they feel as though the one they were assigned by society doesn't really work for them, so be it, it's their choice, it's mental health at the end of the day that's the important part of it, you force someone into something and it's going to affect their mental health, in any aspect of life.
To succeed in its campaign, the US will have to forge unusual alliances, with Russia and conservative Islamic states, against its western European partners. I'm not even surprised at this point.
Pointlessly evil.
US officials have been pushing for the rewriting of general assembly policy statements to remove what the administration argues is vague and politically correct language, reflecting what it sees as an “ideology” of treating gender as an individual choice rather than an unchangeable biological fact. Alright, now I'm fully pissed off. Next time I see again an user here or in another place with this argument, I'm just gonna report it. The "ideology of politically correct" bullshit excuse have led us to directly giving these fascists an argument that somehow worked on the masses. I already was calling off on the people if they did this, but from this point, anyone who uses it will have zero respect to me as they literally want to finish us. YOUR BULLSHIT ARE GOING TO CAUSE THE DEATHS OF INNOCENTS
For fucks sake, leave us alone
Currently contracting all my queer friends and recommending that they get CCWs because public sentiment against trans people will almost definitely follow what the admin thinks and as it stands, most of those that are armed are the type that'd agree with Donald Trombone on these issues.
I support your decision if that’s what you want to do; but please for the love of god just remember that it’s always better to avoid a bad situation entirely than it is having to explain why you shot at someone. Also I can’t stress enough how important it is to do your research and ask around about these things. I’m more of a long gun person and don’t know too many specifics on different ways to carry handguns but if you’re unsure or have a question about gear, the people on the firearms thread generally seem to have good suggestions. Also, just don’t take anything Cyke says too seriously. He has many opinions... Also ignore the Alex Jones introduction video, we have a slightly twisted sense of humor. 9/10 times the punchline usually involves the ATF or dog ventilation prevention.
Can confirm the firearms thread is great. Cyke has opinions. One day I will take advantage of the tons of advice I've received from there and will no longer be noguns
The fact people need to be concerned for their safety from their own government is 10 different levels of colossally stupid. This conversation shouldn't even be happening but here we are.
Yeah uh the problem here is that those threatened by this shift in attitude can only avoid this theoretical bad situation by not existing. This isn't a fun "oh boy, this way people can defend themselves!", it's "Jesus Christ, I hope people can defend themselves if someone tries to murder them due to the shift in public opinion clearly being displayed here".
Watch conservatives get nervous when suddenly a bunch of liberals own guns and they can finally recognize that the average person isn't very educated or safe
