My friend picking me up from the airport got approached by airport police, someone had reported a man with a fake beard. It was his real beard, just some see nothing, say something anyway
a-hole felt the need to have police harass some random person. People suck

About the one good thing to possibly come out of this is people making fools of themselves trying to accuse non-trans of being trans



The story has competing narratives. The man does admit to asking an official about the kid, but the kid’s mom says he did more than that and made further accusing statements.


What I want to know is were either odiousgambit or DG the accuser in question?

Maybe not the best choice of words.

'Hundreds of words to avoid using online if you don't want the government spying on you'

it's too late, a couple of the people here have already turned me in for being a transphobe




I don't think you have transphobia.


My understanding is you have a female relative that is experiencing a difficult time.

So you have empathy for her and others and want to understand better.


The other side sometimes uses words to describe their hatred of their own self to project upon others.

That's what I see.

Subway slasher who knifed women's legs is loose in New York City, police say

Good thing NYC has strict gun control laws.

Maybe it was just a public service being performed. If someone's beard looks so bad that it looks fake they may be doing him a favor.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Sometimes our righties make statements that are so dumb it is just very hard to even attempt to fathom what is happening in their brain. Does Duffman think this man was slashing women’s legs with a gun?

Good post.

An indirect reference to Daniel Penny.


Obviously, violence never has been about guns since guns can prevent violence.

Guns don't cause violence.

A person causes their own violence.

That person is responsible and accountable, not a gun.


What we have here is a warped racist Democrat political system wanting to use violent opportunities to control guns.

depends on if you take the new rainbow-fisted definition of phobia or not. It used to mean 'fear' instead of 'hate'

I do fear it ... not trans people but the movement as a political force. I fear what it is doing to our country. It does not generate a feeling of hate though, though I keep getting labeled as a hater

And yet no one can explain why the dominance and influence of mainstream sexuality and gender identification didn’t convert all the LBGT people. Why would you even need conversion therapy? Or outlawing acts or even identification of being in that group which didn’t do anything to change those people. Just kept them invisible or fearing of being arrested.

Just be afraid of your shadow, and you’d sound as reasonable.

Tourist submarine likely has 5 dead people sealed inside. To the Titanic. Lost contact a day ago. Theoretically has 4 days of oxygen but if communication system is down and vessel hasn’t returned to surface….. not good….. Apparently one of the 3 tourists is a billionaire who I’ve never heard of. Cost for full day trip was a mere $250k per person.
