Protesters Interrupt 'Trump Assassination' Play in Central Park

that is fucked up...

and this is not long after that baseball shooting that CNN gave barely any coverage...seven hours after it happened. -_-

who needs islamic terrorists when our own mainstream media is working to destroy our nation from the inside out? at this point i wouldn't be too surprised to hear about CNN hiring people to assassinate trump. certainly wouldn't put it past them since they do seem to want him dead.

come to think of it, doesn't the right to free speech end at things inciting violence and violent behavior? this play shouldn't have been allowed to take place to begin with as that's what they did it for.

"I wouldn't be surprised to hear about CNN hiring people to assassinate trump". Never go full Breitbart. Also, don't have the life to waste watching the video. But if they had permission to perform there and weren't asking people to hurt Trump, it's their lawful right to be retarded. They're neutral retarded, while the protesters are chaotic retarded

There was a similar play 9 years ago that portrayed Caesar as Obama, this article talks about it. I've also heard that the play's message is about how bad it is for a country for a leader to be assassinated, as was the case with Caesar. It doesn't advocate for assassination, it's a warning about the consequences a country faces should a leader be killed.

Back-to-back deep pressure points, hoo boy... One's given me deep sadness and empathy, and the other's anger and "I gotta do something" adrenaline. That's enough internet to last a week at least, and I took it all in like a pixie stick. It boils down to "I'm so pissed off at the unfair treatment of autism and FUCK-ING LIBERALS!" Again, 700+% of your daily internet dosage.

That sounds really bad, where do you live anyway, the US? I have Asperger's too, but from my experience, Australian universities are very supportive of people with disabilities, mental and physical. The university I attend even has a 'Wellbeing Centre' that manages the framework for accessibility services and special provisions for exams and assignments. They also have a student advocacy officer who will help students lodge a formal complaint if they ever have an issue with a tutor or anything. All I had to do to receive support from my University was a letter from my psychiatrist detailing my condition, fill out a form or two, and attend a 'disability assessment' where I explained how my condition could potentially affect my studies.

I'm not sure if your university/college has something as comprehensive as a Wellbeing Centre, though I'd imagine it would have some form of advocacy program to prevent and/resolve issues like failing an assignment due to reasons explicitly related to your diagnosis.

Yes I live in the US. They have a center for Disability Services, but they don't do what they're supposed to do, and every complaint, regardless of severity, has the same response, word for word "What do you expect me to do about it?" which they are paid to repeat after everything, including the answer, until you do their job for them. Anything the accused professor says is treated as evidence, even if you have recorded evidence contradicting it, which is treated as unauthorized recording even though it's in the accommodations as mandatory. The previous school had one that was just an act. It was basically bait to figure out which students were too high maintenance, because the college was in austerity. It went under after I got expelled. By that I mean the owner took the college's money and vanished.

One basically had the policy of "happiness is mandatory", and the other was "not our job even though we get paid to do it".

"#MoreThanARefugee" (i'd link to the video but why bother when it's blatant pro-refugee propaganda?)

nearly 3x as many dislikes as there are like and from what i can tell, youtube is currently in damage control what with "like" bots and removing negative comments and probably other things.

this video was a bad idea and you know it. one need only look to europe and the middle east to know exactly why this video was a bad idea.

oh and i think i heard in one video that a terrorist attack happened somewhere mere hours after youtube uploaded this video. yeah...this video was SO not a good idea.

Google's 4 steps to online censorship

another great idea from google. (sarcasm)

"point 3: Third, we will be taking a tougher stance on videos that do not clearly violate our policies - for example, videos that contain inflammatory religious or supremacist content."

6:18 bull-shit! if your going to allow and promote CNN and the BBC (which, at this point, is probably just as bad as CNN) then you likely don't give a fuck about preventing radicalization. cuz CNN just LOVES people like trump and the BBC just hates muslims immigrants...riiight?

7:06 and this sounds terrifying.

google: "Together, we can build lasting solutions that adress the threats to our security and freedoms."

google, you just made yourself an enemy and threat to freedom all across the world with this plan. this WILL be abused greatly in favor of the negative. of that, there is NO doubt. absolutely nothing good will come of this and it will make a crap ton of pre-existing problems around the world a lot worse because you SO can't be trusted. especially when you're so pro-SJW, pro-feminazi, pro-CNN, and pro-BBC.

no sane person would ever trust google to follow through with this plan for the greater good. i mean, look how great that refugee propaganda video went over and how the damage control for that worked out. they're clearly not doing this to help make things better.

*facepalm* how fitting that i linked that in this thread then.

heard them talking about this on the news when i passed through the living room.

B.C. care card issued without gender; parent fighting for same on birth certificate

and so it begins... people fighting for the right to not have a gender or have a non-binary gender on their (kids in this case) birth certificate.

facts: you are born as either male or female. there is no 3rd or however many other sexes. doctors do not assign you a gender at birth, ther tell you that were born as either male or female based on the biological proof between your legs.

nothing good will come of this...

on the article in question: "Kori Doty is a non-binary transgender parent — who prefers to be identified using the pronoun “they” instead of “he” or “she” — of nearly eight-month-old Searyl."

that explains a lot. like, seriously, there is no way of knowing if someone is trasngender at that age. hell, even up to and in some cases through puberty it's questionable at best due to what's known as "tomboy" or "tomgirl" which, for some people, really is just a phase that they grow out of eventually.

but no, ignore reality, ignore facts, let's all just assume everyone is transgender from birth and deal with the potential train wreck that is that persons future when it happens. this is insane.

"When Doty registered Searyl’s birth with the Vital Statistics Agency, which tracks and issues certificates for births, deaths and marriages in B.C., they did not specify a gender, instead writing “u/k” or unknown for the baby’s sex.

The agency registered the birth but refused to issue a birth certificate because the Vital Statistics Act requires that a birth certificate specify a person’s sex. Doty responded by filing for a judicial review of the decision."

smart...

"“I do not gender my child. It is up to Searyl to decide how they identify, when they are old enough to develop their own gender identity. I am not going to foreclose their choices based on an arbitrary assignment of gender at birth based on an inspection of their genitals,” Doty said in a news release."

*facepalm* you are not ASSIGNED a gender at birth! wtf is wrong with you people? why do you keep insisting that doctors assign you a gender when you're born when this is simply not true?

"Doty’s argument in their petition to the court is that requiring a gender marker on a birth certificate violates an individual’s right to freedom of gender expression."

oh my...forget it. i'm not reading any more of this bullshit about someone who can't accept and believe reality and facts.

cue the "transphobic" response because i see this for the madness it truly is. i already know such a response will inevitably happen.

edit: this is cringier and more facepalm worthy than that dreadful bill nye video i started this thread with.

and so it begins... people fighting for the right to not have a gender or have a non-binary gender on their (kids in this case) birth certificate.

facts: you are born as either male or female. there is no 3rd or however many other sexes. doctors do not assign you a gender at birth, ther tell you that were born as either male or female based on the biological proof between your legs.

nothing good will come of this...

Labelling yourself as non-binary is one thing, but forcing it upon your kids is just plain wrong.

People really do need to stop using the word "assign" when the correct term for what is happening is "discover". They also need to stop assuming it always happens at birth. Many parents find out what their child's sex is around 4 months before birth. The only part of your identity that is ever assigned to you is your name, and you can legally change that assignment later. Your gender is hard-coded into your DNA and is a part of you from conception.

on the article in question: "Kori Doty is a non-binary transgender parent — who prefers to be identified using the pronoun “they” instead of “he” or “she” — of nearly eight-month-old Searyl."

Was Kori the one who got knocked up or the one who did the knocking up?

good question...or is it transphobic to ask that when it comes to transgender people?

The word isn't gender-based anyway. It's sex-based. It's a moot point. The worst you could be accused of is excluding intersex, castrati, and children.

That won't stop them from making the accusation.

They already think I'm transphobic for lots of things.

• Being an effeminate man who doesn't identify as a woman
• not being attracted to a trans friend (who is not attracted to me anyway, would only be offended by the sjw's assumption about who they think they are speaking for, and is one of my few actual real life friends)
• rejecting sexual advances despite being male
• claiming it's possible to rape a man
• proving it's possible to rape a man
• not being a telepath
• not insisting a character is non-binary just because it's not obvious
• being an example of a person who isn't non-binary just because it isn't obvious
• ressponding to demands that I kill myself with a notic that it doesn't work, and I know this because I tried
• being beaten within an inch of my life by a woman, because she was acting in "pre-emptive self-defense"
• saying the word "penis"
• not saying the word "penis"
• not paying for an education from someone with no degree to do the job they chewed me out for not letting them do

" appearing to be attracted to a trans person who identified as male

• using "they" to refer to a group pf boxes
• Not knowing now to pronounce Xser (I wish I had the imagination to make this up)

hmmm... it took around 24 hours or less for me to get banned from a feminist subreddit for making a post about that (only post i ever made on said subreddit). i wonder how fast a transgender subreddit would ban me for doing that. lol hard to deny the truth.

• not insisting a character is non-binary just because it's not obvious

don't think i've ever been called transphobic for that but i might've gotten into an argument over a character in a pic due to this here at some point.

• being beaten within an inch of my life by a woman, because she was acting in "pre-emptive self-defense"

ok, not really funny but... were you looking at her in a way in which it could be mistaken as "perceived intent to rape"? cause they do like to use the whole perceived offense thing against people.

• saying the word "penis"
• not saying the word "penis"

o_O wut?

• not paying for an education from someone with no degree to do the job they chewed me out for not letting them do

um...could you say that in a less confusing way please? like...with some punctuation?

• using "they" to refer to a group pf boxes

lol

LOL i wonder how many people in New York get fined for this reason.

The alarmingly common assumption that center left-leaning economic and social systems are synonymous to radical liberalism; i.e., safe spaces, trigger words, and hypocritically intolerant behavior.

It's is a dangerous trend towards disregarding other important aspects of running a country--such as economic, medical, energy, environment, education, transport, and effective and fair taxation plans--by drawing attention to extremists' or sociopaths' behavior. While people's actions should of course be judged if they're inane or abrasive, utilizing those as leverage to ignore other policies (along with the historical evidence of their effectiveness) is a logical fallacy, if not outright malicious if weaponized to further a preexisting agenda.

I won't rant about politics in here, but I do urge people not to lapse into the trap of stirring up the same irrational hatred toward a vague, intangible group that has resulted in unnecessary violence in the past. Stay levelheaded and don't use radicals as a means of painting any idea as taboo, instead looking outwards to see what successful elements can be mimicked from other nations.

What made it as weird as it was was that said friend not only was the lack of attraction mutual, my friend has no issue with my lack of attraction and agrees with me that you can't own a person's feelings.

Much shorter when they try to say it was the other way because of power. Banned for joking after replying "That's what she said." It was.

I was on a bench on campus where I knew I'd be alone. Schools bring up a lot of memories I would rather not have, and when they resurface, I prefer to go where I know I won't attract any attention and embarrass myself. If other people show up, I go somewhere else. Apparently walking in the other direction was threatening.

treos said:

If you do, you conform to societal structures. If you don't, you think sex and gender are the same thing.

treos said:

I asked what I was being accused of and told I don't have the right to demand a free education, and because I'm not trans, I need to pay.

treos said:

none. At least not where I live. Then again, this town is about as diverse as King Louis IV's family tree.

I never liked the all-or nothing approach, so I agree. Some of the groups these people claim to speak for, like Autism, Depression, PTSD, etc., happen to be groups that include me, and when I disavow them, I'm seen as not a true scotsman or a troll. A lot of people who actually do need more acceptance are having it damaged by the 0.001% who claim to speak for everyone.

And it makes life hell for people like me who actually do have a lot of issues that cannot be handled alone, and because of this mess, we're terrified of asking for help and looking like the problem. I spent 26 years trying to prove a full life was possible. Almost got to live on my own despite having something literally named after dependency, And because some shits actually no. Some terrorists decided they were doing this to protect people in my situation have proven me wrong. I don't know who they think they speak for, but it isn't me. I have nothing because of them.

Funny thing is, I still don't blame the LGBTA community, any race, any religion, or any disorder. They were victims of this mess too. I blame the people ones who thought they spoke for everyone and committed violence in the name of those who would never wish that on anyone.

genderless birth certificates in canada and now genderless licenses and other stuff in Oregon here in the US.

please just stop. you're not making anything better. you're not helping anyone or anything. you're just making things far more complicated than they have to be.

as for that ticket about my post with the article link... no, i wasn't flame baiting. at this point, i could have just linked to the article and done nothing else and that alone would be flame baiting.

and for goodness sake, stop making the claim that i started this thread to bash trans people. that simply is not true.

do you ever hear about LGB people trying to force their views and ideologies and whatnot on the world? no, just the "T+" people.

fact: you are not assigned a gender at birth...or a sex. you are born with either male or female genitals and that's what goes on your birth certificate and other identifying stuff. not your gender, your biological sex. and no amount of hormone therapy or sex change operations is ever going to change what you were born as. changing your birth certificate like that...you're lying to both yourself and the world because you can't accept the harsh truth.

to claim that anyone can be transgender or non-binary from birth is about as stupid as some religious people who might make the claim that a person could be predisposed towards a certain religion from birth. but that's where it goes when you keep pushing the age that a person can be trans younger and younger.

years of people using evidence and proof to refute or debunk your arguments and yet you people still insist otherwise. and you call us haters or phobic or any number of other terms you've all but rendered meaningless over time. call me a racist or bigot or *random prefix*phobic or even misogynist all you want. you could say that i've become "thick skinned" towards such words over time but really, those aren't even insults anymore with how mis/overused they've become.

For a group of people who constantly claim sex and gender are two different things, they sure do love conflating the two on legal documents.

There are some with a gay agenda but other than that, yeah, it's mainly the T's. I very highly doubt femboys (not all of them, just the gay ones... which is most of them) look and act the way they do to get the attention of women or gay men.

Or claiming we're all born in sin and must do various things listed in the bible to somehow remove that sin.

In one word, defects. The natural processes don't always work out exactly the way they're supposed to.

Clitheroe said:
And who's to say that an intersex person is forced to either pick male or female?

Technically, the majority of them ARE male or female (or both). Gonads are the thing that determines gender, not your genitals. Testicles = male, ovaries = female, both or ovotestes = hermaphrodite. Even if the rest of your bits are a messed-up mish-mash of both genders, the gonads can still be used to figure out which one you are without a DNA test.

Clitheroe said:
And if they somehow managed to avoid being fucked up at birth, who's to say that they HAVE to get surgery? Why can't they just be happy with their unique junk if they want to? And DON'T pull the shoddy excuse of "well they need to get surgical intervention if they want to pee!", that rarely is the case and is just a poor justification for invasive, unnecessary "intervention" to make someone acceptable by society's convoluted standards. As long as they have a working urethra, pissing isn't a problem.

I think the dysphoria they'll get while wondering why their junk doesn't look or function like anyone else's would hurt them more than the surgery used to make their junk at least look normal. I haven't heard of any cases of surgery being needed to reopen the urethra but it probably does happen.

Clitheroe said:
and don't even get me STARTED on the huge mess is causes for sports (especially ftms that undergo testosterone)

I'm yet to see a case of men being affected by this. Every case I've seen is either trans females dominating other females because of artificially heightened testosterone levels or trans males dominating females because of naturally higher testosterone levels. In both cases, the extra T gives them an advantage over all the women with normal amounts of it and neither of them competing in the men's division. Though if they did, they would almost certainly lose.

Clitheroe said:

i don't remember the specifics but i think i remember hearing mention of transgender problems in the military too. probably heard on the news but didn't feel like looking into it at the time. oh here it is, something about denying them enlistment.

GONNA BUILD A WALL OF TEXT

Explain intersex people. Sex, biological or otherwise, isn't even a binary because, surprise surprise, chromosomes don't always fall neatly into the "xx" or "xy" categories. Even if you don't look noticeably intersex, there are still many different possible chromosome combos that people have and don't even know it.

And before you say "well whatever was on their birth certificate is right and bla bla bla", NO, it's NOT. Only in the past few years have doctors been putting down "intersex" on birth certificates. Before that, doctors would mutilate the kids genitalia to whatever "looked natural" and they would flat out lie on birth certificates and say either male or female instead of their REAL biological sex. And, because most parents don't know any better, they too perpetuate a lie to their poor confused kid.

And who's to say that an intersex person is forced to either pick male or female? And if they somehow managed to avoid being fucked up at birth, who's to say that they HAVE to get surgery? Why can't they just be happy with their unique junk if they want to? And DON'T pull the shoddy excuse of "well they need to get surgical intervention if they want to pee!", that rarely is the case and is just a poor justification for invasive, unnecessary "intervention" to make someone acceptable by society's convoluted standards. As long as they have a working urethra, pissing isn't a problem.

And as for trans people "lying" to themselves... Let's just say that you have the fucking nerve to say that when trans people everywhere are being bullied, treated like a living joke, treated as liars who want to "make you gay", can't use either bathroom safely, being corrective raped to get "fixed", and are being driven to suicide or flat out getting harmed and KILLED? Yeah, fuck off. And don't drag trans youth into your argument because that's just fucking low, they have it ten times worse than adults, and puberty + dysphoria + unstable hormones is not something that should be taken lightly.

I sort of agree with you about the birth certs because it SHOULD be for recording what junk you were born with, but then again, it causes lots of trouble for people and all in all ends up as a major source for transphobia because you used to be a different sex, and don't even get me STARTED on the huge mess is causes for sports (especially ftms that undergo testosterone). And, as stated above, intersex people have a whole other problem since theirs is not medically accurate most of the time because doctors think it's okay to lie and cause inner turmoil and ruin family relationships.

TL;DR not even sex is a binary because nature isn't black and white, some of your points I agree with, and maaaaaaybe tone down the transphobia, even though you won't care because you're "thick skinned" or some bullshit.

He was pointing out that they don't write gender. You're arguing semantics. If someone is born intersex, then that's what goes on the paper. Don't put words in people's mouths. You aren't defending anyone.

What's funny is that I've already seen an examples of that. Trans woman easily beats regular women in a 800m. She eventually went on to win the gold medal at the Olympics. Honestly, it's not fair to natural women that worked their asses off to get there only to be blown out by someone who has 3x the amount of testosterone than natural-born women. And then there was a transgender woman weightlifter breaking the women's record. Am I saying trans shouldn't compete? No. All I'm saying is that trans men/women should compete in their own separate events just like how men and women compete separately.

exactly. we're basically making exceptions for who can't enter the Paralympics.

And to those who think that is sexist, remember we crossed that line when people decided you couldn't be a guy who goes girly things and identify as a guy.

Sounds pretty irrational, doesn't it?

I have no problem with trans people. I've gone by the assumption this was a vocal minority. But there is a difference between equality and a silver platter.

Waba said:

That would be the fairer option, but regulating it could be an issue.

Oh good, yet another internet rage debate over gender.

You're born with male, female, or abnormal chromosomes and genitalia. Identify as your physical sex for official paperwork jfc

Identity is a product of the brain which has infinite capacity for uniqueness and thusly many find happiness with different projected identities. No one gives a two shits what benign things other people are doing to be happy except micropenis neckbeards on 4chan and edgelords like that milo faggot.

People can and should identify as whatever they want. If your doctor asks if you have a dick or a vagina, don't be an ass.

Yanno what makes me cringe?

People using innocuous forum threads to push their personal or political views on others, one way or the other.

Some of the punishments in Impractical Jokers make me cringe. Usually the ones that involve destruction of personal property or the ones that make the Jokers look like assholes.

Army's transgender policy includes guidelines on male pregnancies

"Yes, good readers. Within the ranks of the greatest fighting force known to mankind – the baby’s daddy could also be the baby’s momma."

ha! fox news isn't afraid to say this!

"“As these training materials proclaim, there will be ‘mixed genitalia’ in military showers and sleeping quarters,” Crews said. “Moms and dads in America need to know this before they send their sons and daughters to military service.”"

translation: said facilities will now be made unisex.

since...only 2 sexes and all. >.>

well, i suppose it could be worse. this sounds more like actual equality than what you usually here about this kind of stuff.

"What is the difference between gender and sex?" tab...

first 5 words: "Sex is assigned at birth"

"what should parents do if their child..." tab

"Some children express a great deal of distress about their assigned sex at birth"

keep these people away from my mind if they're going to keep perpetuating that debunked/disproven myth!

fact: you are not assigned a sex or gender at birth.
