There's plenty of elective surgeries that are performed without pushback. Hysterectomies are the second most common surgery for women in the US, I'm waiting for those to get outlawed so we can make sure the intellectual scorekeepers can maintain their perfect score. Or mastectomies? Should get rid of these too. Circumcisions should be outlawed as well. Messi had to go on hormone therapy as a kid, that's "unnatural" should he have been shamed for taking it? He could have had a normal life but took it to improve his quality of life. Boob jobs shouldn't even be allowed to performed under any circumstances, nose jobs nope, hair removal nah, hair treatments no way. Plenty of surgeries are done cosmetically to improve a persons quality of life.

On a related note, there is a very strong and loud contingent of "anti-snip" people on social media these days. If you say anything pro-circumcision they will come at you like a spider monkey. Took me completely by surprise how brainwashed and adamant they are against it. They'll start spouting off nonsense like there being no medical or hygienic benefit to it. They'll throw out a bunch of easily refuted statistics like 1 in 3 circumcisions results in serious complications, or 1 in 100 results in death, both being bullshit. All of it is easily disproved by studies. They'll cry about baby rights, despite the fact circumcision carries greater risks and complications if done later in life. They'll say it ruins future sex for the child, as if an already circumcised father doesn't know how enjoyable sex can be post-snip. I've heard it all at this point. Often times it's Europeans that are up in arms since it's not as common a procedure over there, but it's not always the case. I was honestly incredibly surprised how vocal and angry these people get over a little bit of skin, but they are super cereal about it. Foreskin is serious business.

Interesting statistic. It may help explain why 56% of homicides are committed by African Americans despite being just 13.6% of the population. For reference, 64% of African American children grow up in single family homes vs. 24% for Caucasian kids. Future generations need their fathers.

Sorry for the late reply. I preach this all the time. Family values have gone out the window. Nobody cares, sadly.

I’ve visited a medium security prison multiple times. The fatherless crisis is real. Single moms do their best but boys need a male role model. If they can’t get it at home, they find it on the streets. Most incarcerated never knew their fathers. The ones who did were abused by them. The 1st question we ask them is “how many were raised by their father?” Nary a hand goes up. Then they overly bond w/ mom. She’s doing her damndest to hold everything together. She can only do so much. The young man grows up to find a girlfriend. She’s independent & confident. She speaks up. He smacks her while telling her “nobody talks to me like that…except my mom…and you ain’t her”. You’re out of your fucking mind if you don’t think a kid stands a better chance being raised by both a female & male role model. Divorced? Ok…but you can still raise your kid. Dad deceased? Imagine the positive influence of a grandfather, an uncle, a step-dad?

Amen!!

This sort of stuff is hilarious. Uber leftists eating their own in the never-ending race to see which one is most woke, most far left, most ridiculously detached from reality. You try to show you're down with the cause and woker than anyone else, and you get bashed for not being the really really most woke instead of the REALLY really super most woke. It's like the French Revolution's reign of terror where alost all the original leaders got executed for not being radical enough... and then their executors got executed by the even more radical ones, and on and on it went until they ran out of people to execute for not being extreme enough. Welcome to the revolution, komrades!

A pro-abortion tweet from writer Stephen King backfired on Twitter Thursday after users from both sides of the political spectrum called out his statements.


“It has been said before, but it bears repeating: if men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament,” King wrote to his 7,100,000 followers on Thursday afternoon. Twitter users were quick to jump down King’s throat for what, in 2023 at least, was seen as a transphobic statement from the author.

Actor Matthew Marsden gave one of the top responses, writing, “It’s 2023, dude. Men CAN get pregnant. Transphobe.” His echoed the sentiment of a majority of respondents. “Are you saying men can’t get pregnant,” writer Katherine Brodsky commented.

“Delete this, you transphobe,” podcaster Clifton Duncan replied. A majority of the responses from predominantly Twitter Blue verified users focused on mocking King’s out-of-touch statement, while others tried once again to explain why they don’t hold King’s views on abortion.

“This is categorically false and shows your fundamental misunderstanding as to why people protest abortion. Pro-Life people want to protect the life of the unborn. That’s it. So, you’re wrong,” journalist Christopher Tremoglie explained to King in the replies.

“Abortion is treated like a sacrament already. Also men are the primary beneficiaries of abortion because it frees them of any responsibility while the woman bears all the physical and emotional consequences,” Twitter user Kelly Campagna noted.

Being out-of-touch and late to the party rhetoric of the progressives is far from new for King. Back in 2020, he was almost cancelled (remember when cancel culture was a thing?) after Tweeting comments on diversity that ultimately backfired … again.

Despite King’s incredible talent as an author, his writing on Twitter continues to fall far short of what the general public want, think, or feel. But at least it’s entertaining in a sad way.

Men can get pregnant! if a woman decides to identify as a man and then gets pregnant, we’ll there you have it.

Where are the transgender men looking to make a name for themselves in high school and college athletics? It appears that only transgender women have this discriminatory bias where they can’t compete fairly, right? Can’t wait to see the transgender men compete in wrestling, football, basketball, track, etc., should make for great viewing.

I wonder if other countries have difficulty in defining the terms “man” and “woman”. It’s farcical how complicated this simple delineation has become.

You can't give a straight answer to what is 4+4. You're so bad about it that the board has tagged your dodging and spinning with its own name. I get it. Heck, we all get it and know why you do it. You say ridiculous stuff that is completely disassociated from facts, reason and reality. Maybe you even believe some of it, but mostly it's just toeing the party line, parroting what they tell you to say, and virtue signaling to the other parrots.

When someone pins you down with a tough question or facts, you can't back down. You can't admit you're wrong. You can't let the other parrots hear you say that no, you don't really see the emperor's new clothes, so you reword their question into something you CAN answer, spin it all, dodge the real question, intentionally misunderstand what the other person said, and do everything you can to avoid giving an honest, direct answer to what you were asked. Vortex on, bro!

This is GREAT!!! A county councilman in Muncie has "come out" as a woman of color, declaring that he now identifies as a black woman. He's clearly doing it as a spoof to point out the ridiculousness of pretending to be something you're not and insisting everyone play along. The libs and progressives are having a meltdown over it and doxing him, harassing him, threatening him, and so on. How DARE he point out how ridiculous their ideas are and hold them up for scrutiny by making fun of them.

Indiana county councilman comes out as woman of color​

MUNCIE, Ind. (WISH) — In a recent Facebook post, Delaware County Councilman Ryan Webb announced he now identifies as a Black woman. He clarified with I-Team 8 he identifies as an American Indian woman.


While Webb has received some support, he says he’s been facing backlash, including violent threats.


“I’m hoping that this individual is not making a mockery of what it means to be more in a marginalized community, but I have a feeling that that’s exactly what is happening,” said Dana Black, political strategist and host of the “Turn Left” podcast.

Umm, Princess, of course he's making fun of you and those who think identifying as a woman means you're actually a woman. That's the whole point. Reality doesn't give two flying fornications what you "identify" as. You can identify as a tree, but it doesn't make you one. He's making fun of your nonsense.

Webb declined an interview but gave this statement to I-Team 8:


“Our family has been receiving violent threats throughout the day from intolerant liberals who refuse to accept my decision to live my life however I choose. I don’t really see how an interview will improve the situation. “It is unfortunate, but a group called Indiana Progressives has decided to organize a hate and harassment campaign against me and my family by publishing my address and encouraging people to unlawfully congregate at my home. You can read their comments on my public post. I have to look out for the safety of my family, including our 6 children. There are people with serious mental health issues encouraging people who are unwelcome to come to my home, so I think it’s best to politely decline your on-camera interview.

Well, it is the tolerant Left. You know, those people who espouse the goofiest, most ridiculous nonsense and then get mad when you laugh at them or point out their errors.

“It is unfortunate that I cannot simply be given the same space and respect to explore my identity that so many of those targeting me demand for themselves. I have announced my position and that has not changed. I do not need anyone to approve or validate who I am for me to live my life the way I choose. I don’t feel like an on-camera interview is necessary or warranted. I’m simply living my life without concern for what others may think about my own personal decisions.


“I have recently decided to live my life however I choose to identify which happens to be as a woman of color. My American Indian heritage is not up for debate, although many would like it to be. It’s possible I may change my mind down the road. The process of identity exploration is complex and often times at the end of our personal journey we end right back where we started.

Pure comic gold! Flaying them with their own nonsense jargon. LOL

“I hope that in the future those asking for tolerance and understanding are willing to give it in return and not just to those who they feel is worthy of it. Nobody has the authority to validate or invalidate any individual who chooses to identify a certain way. -Delaware County Councilman Ryan Webb


Webb, a Republican, said in his Facebook post, “To avoid confusion, everyone can continue to address me as Ryan or as Councilman Webb. I will also retain my preferred pronouns of he/him, however, this will in no way diminish my true identity as a woman of color.”

Genius. I aspire to be this good at making fun of leftist nonsense. This guy is my new hero.

“Who wouldn’t want to be a Black woman? But in reality, when you’re taking up space that should be for Black women, that is problematic,” Black said. “I think he’s a nonfactor. There are real issues that people need to be focusing on, policies that are going to impact lives. Unless he’s writing a policy that is going to harm communities, that shouldn’t be our focus.”


I-Team 8 has reached out to the Indiana Progressives organization for a response to the negative comments toward Webb, but the organization was unable to be reached.

Maybe there's some secret test you have to pass before they let you identify as something else and he refused to take it.

Maybe it’s because Bud Light tastes awful? Or they just didn’t understand how bigoted their customer base was? They haven’t been the only beer brand to appeal to the LGBTQ cause.

Bud Light has tasted awful for a long time. This $5-6 billion loss in value is definitely a direct result of the new marketing campaign. I realize this is a touchy topic, and trans people need support, but I also feel like mental illness shouldn't be celebrated. These people need help, a marketing campaign is not the way to do that.

What makes you qualified to claim that transgenders are mentally ill? Because the American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association disagree with you.
