It's almost as if...wait for it...

Get woke, go broke is an actual thing.

Nope, not from what I am reading.

www.rollingstone.com...

In this case, the company seems to not stand behind their mission statement, that is quite a different thing.

That link is hot garbage. I was bombarded with pop-ups for "Be the Change", "Stand to End Gun Violence" and various Trans-Activism BS. Nope, definitely not a biased, and outdated (over a month old), source.

Here's the deal about BL, they consciously hitched up to the woke ideology while alienating their loyal customer base. They then proceeded to double down by lambasting said customer base for not getting on board with the decision. Of course, when the company then puts out an explanation of the how and why it happened in an attempt for damage control, the rabid horse they threw the saddle on turned on them. Let 'em die an ignominious death.

rockcontent.com...

They really don't know their customers and what diversity really means. Bud Light showed their true colours and ran for the hills when sales slumped. Actions, people, look at what they do not what they say.

Ah yes, because a DEI blog is THE finger on the pulse of global marketing

Point being, watch what they do, not what they say.

So, I rest my case. We cannot disagree. If we do, we have "transphobia".

Well, then, you are phobic as well, bigoted, and intolerant of any views except your own. You can no longer even reasonably disagree with us without being a hateful bigot.

Did you see the definition? Disapproving was in there and disapproval is everywhere on this thread from some of you regarding transgenderism. I rest my case.

ETA:

Change in terminology. From now on I will use Transmisia when applicable.

What does transmisia look like?

Transmisia takes many forms. In general, transmisia is any attitude, belief, behavior, or policy that:

stigmatizes or harms trans, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming people;
denies the validity of their identities;
sees them as less human; and/or
treats them as less worthy of care and respect.

The only thing that guys in dresses might be successful at marketing is probably dresses for guys.

RuPaul is quite successful.

Probably more successful than you.

He is a man who wears dresses.

Hes also not deluding himself into believing hes a woman or caving to social pressure to call himself one. Hes probably also successful because his mind is clear about being a man in a dress, rather than using all his mental energy to convince himself and others hes a woman. Hes a businessman not a tragic character.

Ummm, so any man who wants say he's a woman is safe in my locker room thanks to a curtain?

What about women's prisons and rape crisis centers? I am sure curtains will fix all of that as well?

And we aren't talking about nursery rhymes. We are talking about teaching LGBTQ + BBQ which necessarily requires an understanding of sex to really understand. Kids don't fully get that until they start going through puberty which is when it has full, immediate context.

Of course, if you sexually lobotomize them with drugs, they never will understand it.

Again, then advocate for women-only changerooms. It's an easy matter to segregate the area with a wall. But nobody is doing this are they? I honestly think society just hasn't caught up infrastructure-wise. Some women care, some women don't care.

Guess who is doing the MOST raping of women in women's prisons. Male guards, that's right. Where is the outrage?

You are glossing over the 'parental approval' part. Simply find out what books are to be used in the curriculum and remove your child if you object, but most parents can't be bothered.

Again, any drugs given to children for whatever reason have the approval of the parents and the medical professionals involved. The same can be said for giving children Ritalin, where was the outrage?

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...

Your take on this is downright pitiful. Dudes can now claim to be girls and use the women's restroom, but it's up to the women to beg for their privacy back when it should have never been taken in the first place?

Which changeroom should this transman use?

a-question-of-consent.net...

Back before they begged for the spotlight and all the attention, ol transman could easily use the men's and nobody would have thought twice. Now, since they can toss makeup on and identify as a woman, things have changed.

Since I'm a bigot, according to you, I'd say that transman could use the men's.

This, however, should NOT try to use the women's. He'd have his big ass vanilla malted milk ball head smashed.

Theres something wrong when disapproving become bigotry. It labels all who have concerns as bigots. Thats an agenda.

Budweiser is learning a hard lesson, but it's one we all learn -- don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Budweiser is going to have to branch out and start making better beers after this if they want to survive another cancel movement. The only reason this is happening to them is because they only have one type of beer and only one type of customer that drinks that beer, and when that customer wants to cancel you, you have no one else who drinks and buys your product.

That's a bad business model to depend on one single group of people for customers, a group that can make you or break you. Bad for business.

My guess is Budweiser starts making better beers in the near future, appeasing a wider group of customers.

Quite possibly the most profound and honest statement in this entire thread.

Ah, so now it's all about not standing behind a mission statement, lol. A mission statement that probably 200 people in this country have ever bothered to read.

Because Ms. Mulvaney has 10.8 million followers, that's why.

10.8 million followers
Ms. Mulvaney is popular on TikTok, where she has more than 10.8 million followers and has been documenting her transition online. The controversy began on April 1, when she posted a video on her Instagram account, where she has 1.8 million followers, to promote a Bud Light contest.

Transgender health care should be left to the medical scientists and doctors who best understand each individual patient needs. For me the utmost important factor in a child's health is that they aren't left without any option other than suicide.

Mulvaney is a male, not a Ms.

Any "medical scientist" who doesn't know the difference between a male and a female (a difference even a 3 year old child understands), they should lose their license immediately. You've been failed by the unprofessional, paid off medical industry.

I cut and pasted the Ms. Mulvaney part from the publisher's article. If they want to use Ms. Mulvaney then they have that right, don't they?

They, and you, both have that right. I was just letting you know that he's a male so you don't get confused. I see you didn't cover the main part of my post though. Shocking.

I was just giving the definitions of Transphobia out there and they include the word bigot. I don't know whether or not any of you are bigots, only you know for sure.

I will now use Transmisia which is more applicable here on ATS. I certainly have the sense some of you here have no respect for transgenderism, and some of you here openly deny the validity of their identities.

I called some of you antagonistic not a bigot, the definition of a bigot is many things including antagonistic and some of you here certainly behave antagonistically towards transgenderism, but if the shoe fits wear it. Otherwise, from now on it's Transmisia for those of you that openly deny their validity.

That's just the tip of the iceberg...see Transmisia.

Funny, innit?

If you have a different opinion, you are immediately ostracized.

Yeah, ummm, "Case Closed" is also another way of saying QED.

"Case Closed" is not the same as labeling someone a bigot.

I said some here are antagonistic towards transgenderism, if they are not bigots then that's good.

There is such a thing as Trans-antagonism and any way you slice it, it's discrimination (as is bigotry).

Then, as said before, you have no argument.

I am very tolerant, I treat everyone equal. If you are an ahole to me, I will be one right back. If you are nice to me, I will be nice to you. If you try to force your ideology down my throat and call me a bigot/transphobe because I don't care what you "identify" as, I will ignore you and any argument you have or "facts" carry no weight

But your and others' attitude here is antagonistic, and fits the description of bigot.

big·ot

a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.

Just stop it, quint. That's a revised definition to fit the left's idea of a bigot because y'all love to call everyone else the bigot. Merriam-Webster and Britannica changed that # back when Trump was president, lol.

Cambridge Dictionary:
bigot: a person who has strong, unreasonable beliefs and who does not like other people who have different beliefs or a different way of life.

Vocabulary . com
bigot: A bigot is someone who doesn't tolerate people of different races or religions.

Collins Dictionary
bigot: 1. a person who holds blindly and intolerantly to a particular creed, opinion, etc.
2. a narrow-minded, prejudiced person

Wiktionary

I'm gonna do you a solid and leave one more for ya...

transphobia
noun [ U ] disapproving

harmful or unfair things a person does based on a fear or dislike of transgender and non-binary people

yawn

Nothing screams "panic attack" like not showing support for someone's lifestyle.

No wonder that word is misused and so off-base from what a real phobia is, it was made up 10 years ago.

The words transphobia and transphobic were added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2013.
