The DNC is back. Liberals have figured it out!!! 😂
The Real timschochet replied to RaiderHaters Revenge's topic in The Geek Club
1. I’ve always been for abortion decisions to be between a woman and her doctor without government interference. Yes it’s a core conviction. Whether the state should fund it is a separate question, depends on the circumstances, usually not, and not a core conviction. 2. I have always been for generally open immigration, never open borders. I am generally extremely sympathetic to non-violent undocumented immigrants who have been law-abiding once they arrived here, and I want them to stay and be given amnesty (with certain conditions). Yes these are core convictions. 3. The trans question is pretty new to me. I have no convictions about it except that the government needs to leave these folks alone to do what they want so long as they don’t harm anybody else. That’s basic libertarianism and it’s a core conviction. Every other question surrounding this issue changes for me depending on the circumstances. -
I find it hard to not see trans as mental illness...
TheNewGirl replied to Fireballer's topic in The Geek Club
Just thinking out loud here... Do we have proof that body chemistry and trans are linked? I know that there is proof of other mental illnesses and body chemistry; too much of one or not enough of another, etc. they've taken MRIs of schizophrenic brains, brains where you can see what centers are active/underactive. Do we have the research and proof that gender dysphoria IS a brain chemistry thing? Just wondering. Gender dysphoria is the mental illness; transitioning is the "cure." However, are we taking into account those that desist or detrans? And if transitioning actually improves their life after? Upwards of 70% of them are still depressed, and they have an incredibly high suicide rate; even AFTER transitioning. That doesn't sound like much of a cure, at least in my non-doctoral opinion. -

I am not registered, I loathe politics and really both sides. I have no affiliation. I have an uncle who has dressed like a woman (mostly for shows) barbara streisand is one of his favorites. He only did it for show and not a lifestyle. Trans is a mental illness. -

This unwillingness to call people what they are is a good reason why the Dems lost to Donald Trump. You can look at it through the lens of illegal immigrants, the whole trans thing, the hyphenation of every subset of American group. I know you'll disagree with me, but the people I know whose vote moved from Biden in '20 to Trump in '24 these type things along with the border were the main reasons. That thought may work in California, but if you want to win anywhere but the coasts, it won't. There's a reason those upper midwest states are trending more red toward purple where as they used to not be competitive. When the left insists on these issues, Donald Trump wins.

Why don't we have the name of the Blackhawk helicopter pilot?
peenie replied to Patented Phil's topic in The Geek Club
Yes, but I wrote in the last comment that Civil rights and affirmative action would fall under the umbrella of DEI but you know that current meaning with all training and trans inclusivity is a modern phenomena. I never used the term DEI in 2016 or before. Anyway, I don’t care about it: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFk83cmPUBz/?igsh=c2c4NDMzZXZ1c3Nx -

15% of "women" in US prisons are transgender, whereas about 1% of the population are. 15%? Could there be men "self" identifying as women, for some combination of getting into softer facilities, with less risk of bodily harm, as well as continuing their history of assaulting women? Or maybe it's random that 15X of the prison population is trans women. -

Well Tim, to rationally thinking adults, it’s obvious that this huge push of trans ideology is harmful. That’s why it gets called out. The “obsessed” take is just a continual gun throw by several of you on this site. It’s pretty laughable really. Also, did you even read her tweet thread? She is one of those that you would have considered a “trusted medical expert” that you obtain your opinion from. She’s a card carrying WPATH member and everything. Do you discount her now that she’s drawing attention to things that counter your opinion? -

Maybe one day in the foreseeable future, trans ideology will be viewed for what it is, a dangerous social experiment. Hopefully the road won’t be littered with too many more mutilated and confused kids/adults. Also, great to see WPATH members resisting this, although they must just be trying to avoid lawsuits. They are the sick fuks responsible for most of this garbage. https://x.com/amayadeakins/status/1885455027629666574?s=46&t=DFWeVowvyy-F23jlecK3zw -
Republicans, particularly under Trump’s influence, have increasingly mirrored Viktor Orbán’s brand of right-wing authoritarianism, while Democrats have remained more aligned with liberal democratic norms. Here’s how the GOP resembles Orbán’s model of “illiberal democracy”: 1. Undermining Democratic Institutions – Like Orbán, Republicans have sought to weaken democratic norms by casting doubt on election integrity (e.g., Trump’s “Big Lie” about 2020), pushing voter suppression laws, and attempting to subvert election results through legal and extralegal means. 2. Control Over Media and Misinformation – Orbán has reshaped Hungary’s media landscape by consolidating control and pushing pro-government propaganda. Similarly, Republicans benefit from a right-wing media ecosystem (Fox News, OANN, Newsmax) that distorts reality, spreads conspiracy theories, and vilifies opponents. 3. Weaponizing Nationalism and Anti-Immigrant Rhetoric – Orbán’s hardline nationalism, built on fears of immigrants and cultural decline, closely parallels GOP rhetoric about “great replacement theory,” border security, and the demonization of asylum seekers. Both use xenophobia as a political tool. 4. Attacks on LGBTQ+ Rights and “Woke Culture” – Orbán has restricted LGBTQ+ rights under the guise of protecting traditional values, a tactic echoed by Republican efforts to ban books, limit trans rights, and frame diversity initiatives as “cultural Marxism.” 5. Judicial Manipulation – Orbán has stacked Hungary’s courts with loyalists to cement his power. Republicans, particularly under Trump and Mitch McConnell, similarly packed the judiciary with conservative judges, including the Supreme Court’s rightward shift, enabling decisions that roll back civil rights and entrench GOP power. 6. Authoritarian Admiration and Political Repression – Both Orbán and the GOP have shown a willingness to weaponize the state against political opponents, whether through legal crackdowns, gerrymandering, or demonizing opposition leaders as traitors. Trump’s attempts to prosecute rivals, encourage state repression, and dismiss democratic processes strongly echo Orbán’s tactics. In contrast, Democrats generally support pluralism, media independence, voting rights, and institutional checks—aligning more with traditional democratic values rather than Orbán’s illiberal model. The GOP’s shift toward Orbán-style governance reflects a broader global trend of right-wing populism rejecting liberal democracy in favor of authoritarian control.

ESPN fires Sam Ponder, who spoke up about trans inclusion in women's sports, and analyst Robert Griffin III
TimHauck replied to Maximum Overkill's topic in The Geek Club
Thank you, I hadn’t seen her say that, but that’s not saying Khelif is trans, it’s saying she’s a man which is different. As I said in the other thread, IANAL but I’d imagine she has a good case for defamation against anyone that called her trans. We still don’t really know the chromosome specifics, if she does actually have a Y chromosome then those that called her a man might actually have legal ground to stand on. -
I've explained it: progressives will not stop until trans people are considered the other sex, period, full stop, no restrictions or consideration for their long-term health or the well-being of others. If you wake up tomorrow and feel trans, you are trans. Get with the program, comrade.

FrancieFootball replied to Maximum Overkill's topic in The Geek Club
I'm not forcing my lifestyle on anyone, but you can bet I will defend it. We've had enough of the hate and discrimination. This country's anti-trans rhetoric is unacceptable. Live your own life and leave us alone. We're no threat to your lifestyle, but people like you sure as hell are a threat to ours. Focus your energy on helping people and making the world a better place other than wallowing in senseless hate. We're not going anywhere, and we're more than capable of protecting ourselves. -

He was a religious zealot, just like we have dominating today's U.S. political landscape. You should research and think for yourself. If you think my partner and I won't stand up for trans rights, you seriously underestimate us. Just leave us alone and live your life. No need to hate on something that has no affect on your life. -

It is for numbers. The gays do not think they are a different sex than they actually are. Lesbians, Gays, Bi men and women do not think they are a different sex than what they are and should not be lumped in with trans. -

The Left gave up long ago trying to defend their policies on their merits. The only tool in their tool box is "Trump and his followers are [insert dehumanization]!" Trump: We are going to deport illegal immigrants with criminal records. Left: That's... that's fascist! Trump: We're going to support Israel's right to defend itself. Left: You're Islamaphobes! Trump: We're going to drill and build refineries to increase our energy independence. Left: Imperialists! Trump: Um, we're not going allow people doing medical gender transitions in the military, because their medication inhibits deployment? Left: Trans... focking... phobes$#@!!#$@! -

This settlement, reached with the Florida State Board of Education, Florida Department of Education, and various school districts, embodies the bravery of over a dozen parents, students, and teachers, along with the steadfast commitment of our allies at Family Equality. This agreement successfully dismantles the most harmful impacts of the law, ensuring it cannot be wielded as a tool of discrimination against LGBTQ+ students, educators, and families. The settlement secures several critical protections and clarifications, including: Free Expression Restored: Students and teachers can now speak and write freely about sexual orientation and gender identity in classroom participation and assignments. Anti-Bullying Protections Strengthened: The settlement reinforces safeguards against bullying based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Gay-Straight Alliances Protected: GSAs are officially protected, providing students with essential support and advocacy spaces. Classroom References Clarified: The law cannot prohibit references to LGBTQ+ individuals, relationships, families, or topics in any educational or extracurricular context. Non-Discrimination Assured: Targeting LGBTQ+ persons, couples, families, or issues under the guise of this law is explicitly forbidden. Extracurricular Activities Protected: Participation in and support of LGBTQ+ student clubs and cultural presentations remain unaffected. -
Trump talk only- no Eagles talk allowed (Steelers talk is OK though)
Fireballer replied to The Real timschochet's topic in The Geek Club
This is misleading. Generally speaking, polls about banning nearly anything will show a majority of people don’t like total bans. There a bigly number of polls that say a majority of people don’t buy into the trans ideology. They don’t think you can change your gender and they don’t want this garbage in schools. Bans on procedures vs acceptance of trans ideology are two entirely different things.
