I had a distasteful encounter with a trans advocate/fanatic yesterday. They showed up in a science fiction forum and started demanding that trans people weren’t shown the respect that they “deserved” and somehow everyone “owed” them things and damn it, we’d better pony up, or else!
I think you can understand how that played out. They ended up running away screaming that we were all “-ists” before the moderators banned their account because that’s how so many of these encounters go. They don’t have to, and I figure you can guess what political ideology they were espousing, but I wanted to take a few minutes to explain how reasonable trans people can behave.

I ran into this yet again, in another throwback episode of The Atheist Experience. Matt really has problems not understanding the words that come out of his own mouth.
I’ve mentioned this a couple of times, but people who are stuck in their current mindset really have problems. I ran across this video from Atheist Experience and, just the very beginning of the call, spells out exactly why the whole thing is so dumb.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve lost all respect for bullshit. I don’t put up with it anymore. I’ve got more important things to do. Nowhere is this more true than in discussions online, where people will just throw crap at the wall and hope it sticks and when it doesn’t, they just make excuses.
Yesterday, Matt Dillahunty put up a video on his channel where is pulled his standard political whiny nonsense, the same stuff that I’ve pointed out many times in the past, and, amazingly, his entire comment section lit up and most people were saying the same thing that I’ve been saying for years!
I’ve been having a lot of conversations lately on this, and today, Godless Engineer put up a video, where in the thumbnail, it says “This Caller is Obviously Morally Bankrupt!”
This goes for both sides of just about any issue these days, although it’s most easily seen at the extremes. They are all doing the same thing, pretty much for the same reasons, then pointing fingers at everyone else and calling them hypocrites.
I brought up the story of furries invading high schools in Oklahoma in a recent video, and no, you wouldn’t have seen it yet, but it’s coming. The school boards simply accepted the claims, and the disruptions of education that it brings, because “it’s their identity!”
Finally, we come down to the last one and it’s been a journey. Honestly, I haven’t found a single one of these that I could really support. Some, it’s just pretty words and we know by their actions that they don’t mean it, but most, it’s just nonsense that they are spouting to pander to the far left. Hard pass on any of that. So, how will it all end up? Let’s see!
