Reply to comment by gdex86 in Philly mayoral candidates stand in support of drag community by TransFattyAcid
I have personally decided to start using the terms, "stay at home father" and "working father" because I think it's funny. And asking people. "Is your wife ok with you working?"... It's because it's such a ridiculous thing that men say to us. Like who fucking cares. They're not the owner of women. Lol

I wasn't trying to start fight and I don't think responsibility for the comment below me if it starts to fight. I was just really curious.
It's weird that the left thinks the right is fascist and the right thinks the left is fascist and that's a really dangerous place for us to be in.
My question is does it hurt you in any way to let other people define their gender differently? Besides that, you disagree. Like what harm does it do? The thing is, the left isn't trying to make it law that there's more than two genders, they would rather just be left alone and be allowed to exist.
It's a difficult place to be in because one sides very loud trying to defend their personhood and one sides very loud trying to defend their beliefs. But I truly think that both sides could probably be happy if everyone just agreed to leave everyone else alone. Like there's no harm in someone identifying as not a man or a woman, as there is no harm in someone identifying as a man or a woman. It's just something they deal with. I don't fully understand. But that's ok. I don't have to understand everything.
Your can absolutely disagree.
In my view, It's just that on one hand saying that someone else's identity is invalid threatens their personhood and agency to make choices and have a personal freedom. And it does nothing to you to let them do that. But denying it denies their personhood which historically has led to murdering and genocide and that's what they fear.
I think it's interesting that we've become so afraid of each other and it's really sad because honestly I don't think either side wants to hurt the other. But I think both sides are scared of losing their personhood and are reflexively lashing out where it's not needed. That makes me sad.
But thank you for sharing. Sometimes find it difficult to get into the headspace of someone who sees things differently and I think we could all use that kind of interaction. Understanding is what we need as a whole people. And things are just so high emotion that it's hard to get there sometimes.
Anyway. I wish you love and good fortune.

This wouldn't be an issue if you clowns didn't vote that goofball into office.

Except there are more then two genders. Since gender is a social construct. Even if you meant sex sciences answer is "most people fit these two boxes. Generally. Ignore those ones sticking out of the side. But we also have all these other boxes for people that definitely don't fit in those two."
Very few people are anti white and anti white isn't part of wokeness in general. The woke people want an honest teaching of our history so people learn how racism ended up shaping the history of this country be it the treatment of black slaves, indigenous peoples, Asian immigrants, even the histories of the non waspy Europeans that eventually got folded into white. Because know about and being honest about it helps keep from repeating the same or similar mistakes. Even the dreaded idea of white privilege is that the world treats you differently on how you are perceived racially and while life isn't all roses and joy being white there are several places where it does make it easier and if you are white you maybe don't notice because it's never effected you.
Again very few seriously criticize the traditional family unit. They criticize that it is the ultimate end goal and the best option for everyone. A married mom and dad is fine, but so is two married moms, two married dad's, a mom and dad that are separated but co parrent, single parents, and even whole family raising a kid. It's like when people say feminism criticizes the family unit. No it doesn't. It wants the idea of a stay at home mom to be an option women opt into because they want to, not be the only path forward when pregnant.

The goat farmers that have only been taking their goats to festivals since last summer have an agenda? I'm honestly super curious to hear what that could possibly be.

The story feels like outrage bait that gets the company some publicity. Yeah it sucks that some "not so nice" messages were sent but this is a non story.
But in all seriousness I would legit pay money to see the riot at a vegan festival that the goat owner was worried about.

I mean sure but there are people i know that are vegan except for their use of local honey. Are they no longer vegan because of this one exception?

I don't want to ever hurt anyone's feelings. But I think it is moronic to say there are more than two genders and that men can have babies. I think it's pure racism to be anti-white. I think it's leftist fascism to criticize those of us who value the family unit. Why can the left believe as it wants and that has to be law? Why can't I disagree?

Incorrect. (Technically incorrect, the worst kind of incorrect.)
Atheists can hold political office in PA.

One more thing for Republicans to demand for purity.

All of the comments here are great, but if we’re being serious, it gets pretty interesting.
I mean we have the Amish/Mennonite/PA Dutch contingent, some of whom still speak an old dialect of German as their first language.
Then we have the modern immigrant population speaking a variety of languages, predominately Spanish dialects.
Regardless, I’m glad we don’t have an official language, because we never really did.

100% on your specific points, but there is still nuance and disagreement. Many vegans own and feed obligate carnivores. Not all vegans are comfortable eating figs that need pollination. There are varied opinions on zoos.

In most counties in PA, the county jail is operated by the sheriff. Their primary duties are operating the county jail, providing security at the county court, and serving warrants issued by the county court. This can vary depending on the county's needs. For example Montgomery County PA has a Board of Prison Inspectors which runs the jail rather than the sheriff, but this type of board is unique to Mont. Co.
PA Sheriffs and their Deputies can arrest for felonies or breaches of the peace committed in their presence, or if they have a warrant from a judge. Under PA law they are not permitted to investigate crimes. This is indeed mostly unique to PA. In most states the Sheriff has full law enforcement powers, and in much of the south the Sheriff is the primary law enforcement agency responding to 911 calls in rural areas. Here that function is filled by PSP.
The only state with less powerful sheriffs that I know of is Delaware. DE Sheriffs can't make arrests or carry firearms.

This is why debating with fascists is always fruitless. Keep living in your false reality, keep the rest of us out of your nonsense, fascist scum.

You can keep saying that, but it’s still a lie. Nice try at deflecting from Democrats promoting grooming, and Biden’s penchant for touching children.

The candidates roll their eyes and play along or the drag "community" will start with their depraved acts in front of the general public like they typically do.
