It's not about sexual liberation and i called them puritans as pejorative term. Their moral values keep getting more and more extreme to the point that no one can keep up with it until they eat their own.

Ah. Agreed. I'm all about sexual freedom but it's gotten so mind numbingly annoying/boring/frustrating that I usually just stay out of it

I agree, they have become somehow puritans, because deep inside this is a religion. They are good, the other side is evil, some categories are basically saints, trans people being at the top for whatever fucking reason. From their point of view, they're defending the oppressed as a category and anything that might be perceived as an attack to the category is seen as evil. And their identity is more important than who they are as a person, so don't misgender a serial rapist.
I think the sex positivity is just a remnant of the old left that was protesting strict gender roles. The only sex-positivity I see right now is basically convincing young girls that showing their butthole online is a legit way of living and it's empowering. Everything else is rules upon rules. Like having to confirm to be exclusive, have to specify consent, say you're poly instead of not wanting to commit. But most of these chronically online, loud people barely have any sex. Their sex positivity is all ideological, even though they keep using the concept of flag and community for a thing that basically specified what kind of people you liked to fuck.
I also think it's not correct to call them leftists anymore, because I have several friends who can go on about Marx for hours and think wokeness is nonsense. The same way conservative doesn't necessarily mean white supremacist nazy. Also, most TERFs skew left as well. They are the feminazi we loved to hate a few years ago.
The key word is used to be. Something happened to the left in the 2010s that and I don't where it came from but they have more in common with the 80s and 90s religious right then they would like to admit. They achieved what social conservatives never could in turning young people into sex negative prudes.
I never thought I would see the day when the left became the killjoys. I am so glad I got to be young in the 90s instead of now.

I think Tucker was taken aback by the fact that she didn't seem upset at the reason she was fired.

You get it. I am an old-school leftist: worker's rights, anti-authoritarian, always questioning authority, listened to RATM, Sex Pistols, Ramones, riding my skateboard and all that punk stuff. I don't recognize the new so called left anymore, they changed and went so far left that they might ended up on the opposite side of the horseshoe. I call them the Nu-left: they are pro-establishment and authoritarian. That's not the left i ascribed to when i was a youngster.

They(far left woke or whatever) are open and progressive in some ways, but also behaving more and more like the classic 'puritans' they complained about in previous decades, with the mob like mentality
an obsession with controlling the media, purity tests among themselves(and they are looking for you to fail) , organized witch hunts(like we seen here) , rooting out the 'sin', constantly punishing and judging others for wrongthink,lower tolerance towards any views(no matter how small)that differs from the dogma,victim complex,narcissism, downright paranoia etc
its been fascinating to see but
that type of thinking gets toxic and lame, eventually people will get bored of it

We live in weird times. The left has moved their focus from class and the idea we should remove barriers that prevent people from moving between those, to identities that are immutable.
And so you have someone who claims to be a communist/anarchist (probably with a trans flag in bio and an anime avatar on Twitter) who wants more immigration from poorer country (which affect the working class more than anybody else), that wants a strong EU and fewer state rights and that don't give a shit whether a company is using slave labour as long as they say meaningless shit that empowers the alleged 0.01% of the population. I find hilarious how pro-corporation wokeness is.
I've been leaning left all my life, but have definitely moved more towards the center. Labels are just another way to divide people and it works great.

She stated it explicitly. She said the number of pervs was higher than real trans. That's what outnumbered means.
Why are you quoting me to correct me on shit you never even read?

On social media asking to be in teen/little girls bathrooms and female safe spaces, then you see their anime avatars and obese creepy men with wigs on and beards... yes.
Most normal and actual trans are an insignificant %, living their lives and not militant like most of the pretenders still rocking their twigs and berries that get aroused at females.

Seldom. Usually you go straight to bad assumptions and strawman bullshit because you're more fixated on your idea of the person you're talking to than the substance of what they're saying.

Nothing I say is based on strawmanning. Everything I have mentioned is verifiable and accurate.
You seemingly want to pretend these sicko pedo predators don't exist more often than not whenever they're pointed out. Hell, you couldn't even denounce the freak that held the microphone like a cock to the toddlers mouth. The cult of false virtue ideology has a grip that hard on you.
SF Kosmo

I never denied the existence of bad people or predators in all walks of life, but I haven't seen any indication that trans people using the bathroom increases that threat, and you haven't really made an argument other than "My feelings say so. Here, look at this picture of a ugly low-passing transwoman."
Again, when I point out that you're an emotional thinker who can't read the content of posts, it's examples like this that make my point.
I'm really not much of an ideologue, man, I land in the middle on a lot of these things but you can't hear that frequency.

Oh I am on the frequency with a lot, if not most things as well. One thing I am not, however, is sickos wanting access to girls sports and their locker rooms. There is no middle ground on the safe spaces females fought centuries for.

I think making kids change and shower in front of each other in general is a thing we can probably do without, yeah? Like making a trans woman shower in front of men hardly seems like the right solution, but if people are uncomfortable being naked in front of others I think they have that right.
Bathrooms are already more or less like that though. Just go in your stall and piss, this isn't a real problem.

I don't believe they make anyone shower or change in front of each other. But it's a serious issue when little girls walk into a female locker room after swim practice and there is a grown man showering with perfect timing with his twigs and berries hanging out because "he said he is a woman." (it happened) Or the swim dude who was ranked 400+ in men's now is a girl to smash female records was popping chub at the college swim girls under his towel as they uncomfortably changed and the looks he would give them. (happened)
In fact, since the number is so small, it should be THEM to change in a private place if they're uncomfortable still having their twigs and berries, not the entire female team kicked out and forced to change in a nurses single office (yes this happened as well). Total feelings over logic craziness.

Athletic competition is a whole different issue that I never brought up. I think there's merit to having a ciswomen's category, but the question of what tomdomwith trans athletes is complicated because they're have advantages over women and disadvantages over men and there's so very few of them.
But I do think it's telling that there have been more laws restricting trans participation in sports than there have actual athletes participating in those sports.
And that's the case with a lot of this conversation that makes it so frustrating. The amount of mind share it gets is so wildly out of scale from reality. Conservative pundits will sit there going on and on about trans people say in and day out over isolated anecdotes that could be easily handled without the need to completely disrupt the lives and safety of every trans person.

I remember reading about that "Lia" Thomas swimmer and how "she" would get boners in the women's locker room while the girls were undressing and how uncomfortable it made them feel. That shit infuriates me, but I guess it no big deal to
SF Kosmo
. Just like that fake trans student that raped a girl in the school bathroom and the school kept it quiet and transferred the student who proceeded to rape another girl at his new school. This shit disgusts me, the people that let this stuff slide deserve the same punishment as the perpetrators if not worse because their actions or inactions allows these people to commit heinous crimes they otherwise wouldn't be able to had they been denied access in the first place or if they were, at the very least, properly punished the first time they offended.

You are going to get that. When the pendulum swings so far in one extreme direction, where now little girls and teen to grown women are getting trampled on, you will get heavy pushback in the other. That is the ebb and flow to human nature.

Again, when people point out being an emotional thinker who cannot listen to what people say without projecting and making shit up, this is a fine example.I remember reading about that "Lia" Thomas swimmer and how "she" would get boners in the women's locker room while the girls were undressing and how uncomfortable it made them feel. That shit infuriates me, but I guess it no big deal to
If any one is getting boners in any dressing room that's not going to be tolerated or accepted. Doesn't matter if it's all men. There's no reason anyone should be treated to a different standard.
(I also think her build gives her an unfair advantage in competition against ciswomen, fwiw)
This is not a "trans" issue, again rape is a crime that should be prosecuted. Sadly it usually isn't. And if the school was involved in covering it up they should be sued (though reading between the lines of your account I am guessing the student just chose to transfer out or was expelled). This isn't a story about a trans woman getting special treatment, this is exactly what happens most of the time in these cases, sadly.
If you know 10 women, you probably know someone who was raped in high school, and odds are the perpetrator didn't face charges and odds are they did it again. And that is a huge problem and it needs to be addressed but it isn't gonna happen by trying to make believe this is a special problem of transwomen.
It disgusts me too, but the problem is that it either only or especially disgusts you when a trans person is involved. If you showed the same concern for all children who were victimized maybe we could have a sane conversation about how to help that situation overall instead of just a shrieking culture war.

Don't be so disingenuous you aren't willing to admit there's a huge situational difference here. None of those women would just start undressing if a dude was even present, they'd tell him to gtfo or get security to remove him.
The only reason it gets so far they have to deal with Lia's erect dong while they change is because they "can't" say anything and just have to accept her presence in the first place.

That's not my point. The point is that there should already be policy in place to address this. It wouldn't be tolerated in the men's room and it shouldn't be tolerated anywhere else.

-It is 100% tolerated and accepted since Thomas hasn't been banned from the locker room or competition.
-It is a trans issue when people pretend to be trans to get access to women so they can rape them.
-I do show the same concern for all children no matter who is abusing them but I can't help it if the trans community (which sadly is represented by mostly fake trans) are the ones now openly grooming and normalizing pushing sexual content on kids in schools or via "family friendly" drag events. They need to stay the fuck away from kids period.

Look I don't even know if it's fucking true, you're the one telling me this, but menacing someone with your hard on or touching yourself or any of that would be considered harassment by anyone.
Explain to me how this would be different if a cisgender man walked into the women's bathroom and raped someone without "pretending to be trans." Something which happens all the fucking time by the way.
Like you people think this is fucking metal gear or something and being trans is the cardboard box where no one can see you.

I think it's a mental illness (gender dysphoria) even if you don't have the intentions of harming women in their bathrooms. But I still think if you want a sex change, that you have a mental illness. Being mentally ill does not make you a bad person at all and I have my own psychological issues p I'm but people like that should get help.I remember reading about that "Lia" Thomas swimmer and how "she" would get boners in the women's locker room while the girls were undressing and how uncomfortable it made them feel.

We really need to stop catering to everyone.
But again, I'm not talking about people who are perverts. They're not just mentally ill but they are bad people.

Yeah, the male should not be competing against females nor changing/creeping in their safe spaces. That used to be a policy before lunacy.

I can't find any source on her being inappropriate or "getting boners" or any such misconduct by the way. I have found interviews with women complaining about her being there in the locker room but none of them seem to be behavior based. I am thinking Boss Mog made that up, or remembered it from his wet dreams.
I get it, some women are uncomfortable with the premise regardless of how she acts. I think everyone should be able to have a private space to change and shower as they want and it's past due we make that normal.
