That is utter hogwash and a mischaracterization, not surprising since it's hard for people to see their own actions subjectively.
I agree with your characterization on once side, at least for one of the extreme groups, but on the other side is a socialist, never punish criminals, give everybody whatever they want regardless of whether they want to work for it or not and tax all rich people so that they have no more than the people who don't want to work at all.
Yea, I don't get it.
It's really easy to just apologize for feeding into the rhetoric of people conflating LGBTQ people with pedophiles, and if it was an honest mistake I don't see why he wouldn't. Not doing so after being made aware of why people are bothered sort of indicates that it might not have been an accident after all.
Amen. Let's hang that reactionary bastard. He's obviously a crypto nazi reactionary right wing shill.![]()
My first comment on it was that it was probably a mistake and you probably didn't know about all of the rhetoric being spread by reactionaries calling LGBTQ people pedophiles. Why are you so hesitant to admit that and apologize for accidentally feeding into that rhetoric?
San Francisco city council members.Can you find anyone, anywhere in the US, that advocates for exactly what you just said?

The shit coming out of those people give a constant stream of 'material' for people like Carlson to exploit and malign anybody who is Left of Right.
Of course you won't agree, but refer back to my earlier comment on why you won't see it.![]()
What difference does it make? The point wasn't to connect pedophilia to trans people. The point was that I was responding to a poster who chanted "Diversity and inclusion" and I made an example of why "Diversity and inclusion" isn't necessarily a good thing. Bad example? Yes. Good point? Yes.
I don't want diversity in my life to include living next door to pedophiles, murderers, rapists, and con men. I did, in fact, share a house with a convicted murderer who was a truly evil man who got out on a technicality. He was a vile, bigoted, misogynistic and violent man. He had the upper flat, I had the lower. I moved out to get away from him. When he was drunk he threatened me with a gun. And we both know there are progressives out there who believe that guys like him are just misguided people.
True, as you transition from one end of the extreme scale to the others, on one side they believe that shoplifters should be executed when caught over to a murderer should be understood, rehabilitated then realeased with a living wage back into society.
Berkeley as well. In Oakland we have a city council member who literally believes that there should be no prosecution for crimes committed by a certain group.

Nobody thinks pedophiles should be tolerated except pedophiles. The suggestion that inclusiveness should also apply to violent/sexual criminals is ridiculous slippery slope nonsense.
To address your second paragraph, many progressives believe there is a possibility that criminals can be rehabilitated. I'm sure it's possible for some. I also acknowledge that some people are just defective and should be removed from society.

I already admitted that it was a poor choice of words. As to apologizing to you for my mistake, why do you feel the need to pursue this so? Let's get something clear. I'm not running for office or trying to meet whatever progressive standards you currently believe in.
I made a poor choice of words and regret it. Why are you so incredibly bent on an apology? To whom am I supposed to be apologizing? To all the trans folk who have read this thread, LOL? Or perhaps you just want a "mea culpa" from me, where i shame facedly admit that i offended society by careless use of words.
Perhaps you don't understand just how offensive your behavior is, and how it borders on, if not reaches into ageism and disrespect.

Oversimplification to achieve an impression, but don't stop now.Technically it's a bunch of men arguing about a decision that a bunch of other men made about excluding a bunch of women from a women's space.
But yes, this is a time honored tradition with centuries of reinforcement.

At least we're just talking about it rather than being a bunch of old men (and a woman of questionable credentials) actually taking away women's rights.in this thread:
