No, they really aren't. You can't go onto any page run by or made for a minority group without constant nazi level hate and yet Facebook does nothing. If however you defend yourself you get banned for bullying. They enjoy causing harm to vulnerable communities because they like to make money and don't care who gets hurt as long as ad revenue keeps rolling in.

They specifically have hate speech as a reportable offence and do absolutely zero about all forms of hate speech. I've reported people calling others f××××× and they've done nothing. I don't even think they believe n××××× is offensive.

I just started a few days ago and already had to deal with a transphobic troll. Online is so toxic that I'm afraid eventually all social media platforms end up on trolls radar and they seek to destroy them. It's a shame because they ruin social media for everyone including themselves.

So many people lack a basic sense decency that they actually think it's ok to cause harm to other people simply for their own amusement. It's usually straight white american males too.

Yep

See, this is why the rest of us tend to not like your country. Your reputation for rudeness is well earned.

That's what I'm saying, I hate him because regardless of what his religion or ethnicity is, he himself is just evil. He's out for wealth and power and fuck whoever gets in his way.

I hate him so much. Way before the Gaza war. He's an alt right tyrant regardless of his religion.

People HATED the prequels when they came out, trust me. Your kids will love the new trilogy and you'll remember it with fondness. That's just the way it goes.

Are you implying that those who menstrate aren't people?

You know when you troll like that you think you're being funny but all you're doing is making your entire country look bad to the rest of us.

You should consider yourself a representative of your country to the rest of the world. The more american trolls we encounter the less we think of your country.

It's a nightmare for anyone who isn't a straight white american male really.

I fucking hate all meta platforms now. I've been on Facebook since the day it went public (allowing anyone to join instead of just college students) and it's just a nazi recruitment platform now. There is not accountability for bad behaviour, in fact they reward trolls and punish people for dairing to defend themselves.

If I'm harrassed it doesn't go against community standards but if I defend myself I get banned for 30 days for bullying.

It's fucked up and it's deliberate. I've actually gotten a ban for two emojis 🐓🍭 got me a ban but bigotry and hate speech are a ok. Ironically even Jewish people aren't safe on meta platforms. Antisemitic behaviour is rampant, even way before the Gaza war so its not people who give a shit about Palestine.

You can't keep your mouth shut. I'm sure this isn't the only place you harass trans people online and I'm sure you do it in real life too.

All you have to do is leave people the fuck alone, that's it. If all you lot Just. Left. People. Alone. There wouldn't be a problem but you can't even do that. That's why trans people, hell, any person from a marginalized community has to fear for their safety. You just can't leave them alone.

Have a nice day.

The last time they mentioned his age it was 38/39. They keep changing it but keeping him and Marge in their 30s.

Honestly I wish they would age everyone up a year every decade. If they had done that we would be seeing the antics of a 13 year old Bart now and I think that could start with some really interesting character development instead of keeping him forever a 10 year old.

If you want your mind blown when Simpsons started Marge and Homer were boomers, then Gen X and now they're millennials. Bart, Lisa and Maggie started out as Gen X (underachiever and proud of it) then millennials, then gen z, and now they're Gen alpha.

But grampa is always a ww2 vet.

No worries. I'm just glad I'm not a trump supporter. 😅

Yeah I noticed that. I was confused about the mass down voting. Not sure if he deleted his comment or I clicked the wrong response arrow.

Either way, when I see people posting nazi propaganda about trans people (or anyone for that matter) I tend to get defensive.

People forget that when the nazis got into power they didn't go straight for the Jewish community, they dipped their toes in the water by going after the lgbtq community first. Once they got away with that they knew they could go after the disabled, Jews and Roma etc. The Republicans are currently following the nazi playbook.

I can see where the confusion is. I was responding to @thoughtorgan and the parent comment was deleted so my comment is out of context.

Oh well. 🤷‍♂️

Wait is that in reference to me?

I was responding to a transphobe saying his opinion about an issue he knows nothing about is not valid compared to the lived experience of trans people.

Also I'm Canadian. Check my post history. It's all there.

I'm kinda surprised I'm getting down voted for pointing out someone has a bigoted opinion about an issue they have no knowledge about. As someone whose actually been dealing with gender dysphoria since the 1970s I've become rather knowledgeable about the subject and as someone careening towards 50 I don't have the patience to coddle bigots.

If that makes me unpopular then oh well.

If a child is born with a cleft lip would you repair it or tell them that's the way god made them and they have to live with it?

If a child is neurodivergent and has severe gender dysphoria becasue of it do you force them to remain unhappy and uncomfortable or do you help them make adjustments to make them more comfortable?

If you can't "fix" the issue isn't the next best step accommodating for it? If someone is paralyzed and the spine can't be repaired do you leave them in bed or give them a wheelchair? If I person is deaf do you just leave them in silence or give them hearing aids and/or teach them to sign?

Being trans is very often like being gay, it's hardwired into the brain, just like being left handed. If it's just the way a person's brain is wired isn't it better to relieve discomfort by adjusting the physical to match the mental if the mental can't be adjusted to match the physical?

There will be kids who are experimenting with their gender identity and decide that they're most comfortable as their birth gender and that's great, any form of self discovery is awesome but there will always be people who are gender dysphoric and the most successful way of alleviating that dysphoria is to transition.

Years and years of therapy come before any form a medical transition for kids and often transition simply means a preferred name change, change of clothes and gender affirming hair style. If a child is comfortable with just those changes then medical transition isn't necessary. If however they, after therapy and non medical gender affirming care still feel uncomfortable puberty blockers can be used to pause puberty until the child is older. Once they're older they can decide whether or not transition is the right choice for them.

No one should go into transition without therapy first but gender dysphoria is so uncomfortable. It's like walking around in shoes that are 3 sizes too big or too small your entire life. You can get by, but it's painful.
