“You can’t know if someone is a dipshit until after you interact with them, btw.” That you said that is kinda at odds with what you are saying now.
If you are going to treat all members of a group as being the same as the worst members you have met then you are just choosing to be a bigot.
The issue isn’t trans people as a whole. It’s also not even close to half of trans people. There is something unique about your situation.
Yeah painting all trans people that way is nonsense. It gets pretty close to bigotry territory. I gotta wonder where you live or what kind of choices you are making to surround yourself with that many unhinged people. Where I’m at I’ve encountered zero trans people that act like you’ve described.
Avoid “them” meaning all trans people or the handful of dipshits you were choosing to talk to?
I’ve assumed elon was a pedo ever since he accused that one diver of being one.
Might want to checkout cyber security and pen testing. It’s not the same thing exactly but it kinda close in some regards.
Have part of his probation be having his property searched to check for such devices.
Put monitoring software on his devices.
Nonsense hypotheticals are not whataboutism.
We could consider those politicians employees of TurboTax and H&R Block just with extra steps
That’s probably because it’s a line that gun control opponents use to try and minimize the obvious dangers and issues with guns. Make sure you are very clear about the scope of your observation and take into account the context you are introducing the observation and you won’t get yelled at…as much.
Well said. This is my take on it too. It’s really the only reasonable approach.

That doesn’t seem to be entirely accurate.
The deal is the weird part where they made a specific point of and big deal out of the new classification not being a type of planet despite having the word planet in the name.
You said that very incorrectly. It’s not solely about numbers but numbers are absolutely a fundamental factor.
That you didn’t give a helpful answer makes me doubt you where as before I was interested in what you had to say.
It does seem like a reasonable cya for selling to some one but I’ve just never seen it happen. The attitude around me tends to be indifference at best and more often contempt for performing any inquiries into the buyer’s eligibility.
“why you think deaths were justified”
They didn’t say that.
I have never witnessed any seller give any thought to wether the buy had a CCW or not.
Dude the topic has been drifting for quite a while. You going to act like “getting more Dems” doesn’t have a cost? You going to admit all the things you’ve blown past? Your proposal is to have them not do a major component of their job and instead focus on flipping seats blue. The money they get paid as elected officials gets paid either way. Either course of action costs money, doing the proper prep work for bills or campaigning. That famously so-cheap-it’s-near-as-free campaigning. They will need to not only justify to their own voters keeping them elected during your do nothing policy but also convince other voters to elect more do-nothings.
Hold yourself to your own standards.
The inherent traits of a species of berries is not comparable to the behavior of an entire demographic. If you treat all trans people as though they are unhinged or looking for the slightest excuse to be offended then that is as much bigoted behavior and stereotyping as treating all Mexicans as lazy or all black people as criminals or all Irish as angry drunks. People are not berries. Their treatment of you isn’t coming from the genetic level.
You may have had some legit crazy fringe case experiences and the shock and hurt that you would feel from that would be very valid but if you turn immediately from that to “if I’m gonna be treated like a bigot then I’ll just be a bigot” then there are some worrisome seeds already planted. If things went as you described them then you had some unfair encounters but those handful of experiences are not close to enough to judge all trans people by. That’s hard to grapple with if there is still that emotional sting from those experiences. I do understand the reaction of “fine I’ll show you just much I can be the thing you wrongly accused me of being”. I’ve been guilty of that in other contexts. But it’s destructive and toxic. It makes the people treating you wrongly feel completely justified. It makes you act like a terrible person that you are not.
