I thought this place was supposed to be an alternative to Reddit. Don't act as if there's no room for a nuanced conversation when it comes to giving children the autonomy to choose to take puberty blockers or opt for surgery.

Lol

Yeah it's an alternative to Reddit because master debating is mocked here instead of "good sir let us meet in the marketplace of ideas". Go back to Reddit.

What do you think the point of puberty blockers is? How many gender affirming surgeries are taking place on children? Or are you just spreading transphobic lies?

I espouse what I believe in, same as anyone else.

[โ€“] Wakmrow@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh ok well you're a stupid ignorant fuck threatening people for existing. You're parroting literal Nazi talking points.

[โ€“] hellabryanstyle@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

People who speak like you do a great disservice to your own cause and make it easy for people to stand against it.

blockers are safe, growing up in a world full of bigots like you is not

Eat shit, fuck off, and die transphobe.

So the reddit crowd did arrive in force finally. Always a pleasure

[โ€“] Wakmrow@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You do realize that spreading transphobia is a threat

[โ€“] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I didn't say it wasn't. It's all repulsuve. It's always sad to see people lower to screaming and swearing, etc. Shrug

To be fair, that wasn't a death threat. That was just a "fuck off and die" not "I am going to kill you" lol

[โ€“] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Still. Although you're correct, it's like watching a mouth breather start screaming about nonsense. It does nothing to bolster an argument. It only makes them look like they have no self control, nor much mental capacity, and if anything they promote their opponents. Oh well.

@AFC1886VCC Technically, the guy is gonna die anyway sometime.

Is this how you intend to win people over not allied to your cause?

[โ€“] anonochronomus@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

I know who my enemies are.

[โ€“] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

Worked for me, I naturally align with chill people who dunk on bigoted nerds
