One of the several reasons why I don't watch fox news.
[I]Welcome to fox news, we tell you the news we want to hear[/I]
[QUOTE=Ownederd;47916399]it's legal in the us (except california) for a trans person to get blamed for their death in the legal system[/QUOTE]
Most of the locals probably wouldn't admit it, but California is one of the best states in the US. I realize this more and more as I read little things like this.
I love how they have one person try to insinuate (with no evidence in support and considerable evidence to the contrary) that HRT is connected to the high mortality rates for transgender people in the US, then they turn around and another says that conversion camps are perfectly acceptable, and worse as a preventative measure.
To be honest they do raise one good point: kids should be kids. The shit they spout that comes afterwards and before that is just, you know, shit.
I do think that kids should get this right to experiment with whatever the fuck they want, but this type of gender identity stuff should be left out until they hit an age where they can make educated & rational choices for themselves and have a full understanding of what being a girl and what being a guy entails.

kids have a strong sense of self, because it isn't a choice
i'm not saying to get surgery done on a nine year old, but all anyone is saying is to let kids decide how to express themselves on their own
haha "tranny nannny" when i heard that i just started laughing.

Yeah cause living your first 18 (or 21 or whatever) years with a suppressed gender identity is just fine.
Let's instead try to work towards a society where the implications of being a guy respectively being a girl are trivial.
I should be offended, but I'm too busy laughing my ass off about the absurdity of this kind of rhetoric being used unironically on a major news network.
[QUOTE=Jamsponge;47916320]Holy shit, they actually just said 'tranny' in its original, derogatory sense on the news?
What, was Barack Obama's gardener a fucking 'nigger digger' too?[/QUOTE]
Considering they also called Michelle Obama "Obama's Baby Mama," I think virtually nothing is off limits in how stupidly petty they can be.
Wow is professionalism like not a thing anymore?
i was not one inch surprised by this whole thing, however i still think about my relatives in florida who basically fall under the "jesus freak UNLESS ITS FAMILY" stereotype
never going to florida outside of miami, universal studios, and disney

It's never been a thing at Faux news.

i always imagine the people posting this actually think [I]faux[/I] is pronounced "fox" making them seem just as ignorant
Someday Fox News is going to reveal that they've been paid off by The Onion to specifically say the believable stupid shit that isn't ridiculous enough for The Onion.

Would you rather I soundspell it as Fo News? I'm aware of how its actually pronounced but its similar spelling and meaning make it too good an opportunity to pass up.
I knew it was bad, but I didn't know it was this bad.
This is why we need terrorist attacks.
