And gay is a choice.

Ask a gay.

That reply makes zero sense. Gay is a behavior, straight is a behavior, pedophilia is a behavior, trans is an alternate reality driving behavior, 100 pronouns are driven by behaviors, and sexualization of children is a behavior.

Polio is not a behavior...

You can't genocide a behavior i.e. trans...

You harp on the old let's turn the gay person straight through Jesus while trying to do the same damn thing to others...

Let's force everyone to believe a male can be female and let's force women to compete against them in sports, let's force parents to accept porn in grade schools where they can't even read a line in a school board meeting its so sexualized, but it is OK in the kid's library. Let's put parents on a terrorist watch list because they don't want teachers explaining their alternate sexual lifestyle to their 5th grader, Let's force people to refer to me by my pronouns zig and zignot.. Let's force women and girls to see a strapping penis in the woman's dressing rooms, let's allow children to make nonreversible medical decisions and even hide it from their parents, and let's totally dehumanize real women to the point where one can't even answer the question "what is a woman" anymore, calling them birthing persons, ciswomen.

Let's....I could go on but you get the point....

And you say I don't make any sense?

It makes sense.

In order to be gay, you must take physical action. In order to be straight, you must take action. In order to be any type of sexual being, you have to choose to have sex. That is an action, not an involuntary thing you have no control over (rape aside, but rape does not determine gay or straight either).

You don't choose to get a disease. You don't choose to be born with a skin, hair or eye color.

If my urge is to always cheat on my wife with as many women as I can what do you call that other than a behavior?

All of it is behavioral actions driven by internal urges. Being internal urges that one may not be able to change doesn't instantly mean all these urges must be accepted by society as the norm. Having polio is not an internal urge driving behaviors, neither is the color of your skin, but you want to put it all in the same bucket.

If I feel I'm permanently stuck at the age of 15 does that instantly make it real and all must agree I'm now 15 forever? If you disagree with this then what makes trans different?

I see people. I see people who have careers and goals in life.

I see families. That guess what -- behave like families.

YOU have a specific fixation on a small minority of a small minority.

Stores carry merchandise for all kinds of celebrations. Bet you don't have issue with all the Red-White-Blue currently in stores.

Like I said -- celebrating the freedom from the forced fringes.

One "man's" freedom is another "man's" . . .

Pride is a celebration as niche, more niche, than Juneteenth or Kwanzaa. How come Target doesn't have ginormous front and center displays for them?

There are far more African-Americans then LGBTQ + BBQ. It would seem a more logical marketing move

Marketing.

Walmart has Kwanza products.

As well as Pride clothing for all ages.

Why is that? Who is driving the bus here, me or the woke? What you suggest is fixation is actually pushback due to people going extreme when they didn't need to in the first place to achieve whatever objectives they were hoping for.

As I said before there haven't been any issues for decades then all of a sudden all this over-the-top crap has been pushed on everyone and so people are now pushing back. That pushback may be Bud Lite or Target etc, but it is people speaking with their money. You said a small minority of an already small minority then why are they trying to drive the bus with everything? Why does Target need to display tuck-friendly bathing suits if only 2 people going to that store might happen to actually be interested in them? So it is not about Target trying to make a buck, it is about them pushing an extreme agenda as the norm and people are just tired of it.

It is also not only about trans on a Bud can, or a display of tuck-friendly bathing suits, it's the whole damn crazy event as I have described many times with these two things just fallout from people tired of it all.

I'm pretty tired of the Trump Won nonsense -- and the ridiculous over-the-top rally's.

That whole spectacle is pretty damn crazy. Many people are tired of it all.

What decade are you talking about here? It sure isn't the last few... What do you mean by "create a life on the fringes" How does that even play into the trans situation? I have said a number of times that it really isn't trans that is the problem, it's the woke left that took the trans baton and ran with it in a dozen of crazy directions. It's the same damn thing as the woke white upper-middle-class females telling Black how they should be Black.

This has been a repeatable event with the woke left, so I feel sorry for most of the trans community as they have been used for woke agendas and it is them that end up feeling the pressure in the pushback.

Guess you'll need to think about that one.

I gotta go -- for reals. Ya know -- real life kid and stuff.

If that was the case, advertising wouldn't be big business with the best people commanding top dollar.

a reply to: DBCowboy

Asking for less of a wealth gap is not requesting zero income inequality. Of course people who work hard and provide innovations and benifits to society should be rewarded.

However, that's not exactly how it works. Many people who work hard and provide a lot to society get paid very little. And there are many executives who don't work very hard and get paid 10x the income of others who contribute much more to society.

The problem is the weatlh gap. And saying, "well you're just a marxist who wants free stuff and doesn't want to actually work" is avoiding the issue. I'm not a marxist. I think many aspects of capatalism are great and motivate people to create and innovate.

However, how many ultra wealthy people are paying their full taxes, focusing on creating American jobs, and actually providing innovations and benifits to the rest of the American people?
I'd say very few are.

If anything, there is a welfare system for the rich in this country.

I think very few are actually trying to claim that trans people's biology is differn't from their born sex. It's how they feel inside. Their mentality is that of a differn't gender.

It's really not providing false statements to say that one feels like they are the opposite gender. No one is saying that feelings and mental perception change one's biology.

Trans people are requesting to be called by the pronouns of their opposite biology sex as a way to match how they feel inside. Respecting one's pronoun isn't denying biology. It's simply accomodating how one feel's inside.

And if you don't want to respect a trans person's pronouns, then you have that freedom. But, this arguement that doing so is a denial of biology is just silly.

a reply to: Turquosie

I have a masculine mentality in a lot of ways. I often get mistaken for a man here even when I am very plain and open about being a woman.

It is the height of insulting to me when society continues to try to cram people like myself into neat, labeled boxes like this.

I am a woman. And transpeople are whatever sex they were born. Your feelings don't alter reality; your mentality doesn't either, not for you, not for anyone else.

I'm not sure why everyone is ignoring the truth here.

The viral pictures and videos of the Pride offerings by Target are clearly labeled on its website as adult swimwear. Both pages describe the products as "general adult sizing" and offer adult XS as the tiniest size available for purchase.

Castaneda stated that the swimsuits in the Pride collection for children are not of the same design, construction, or label.

"Since introducing this year's collection, we've experienced threats impacting our team members' sense of safety and well-being while at work. Given these volatile circumstances, we are making adjustments to our plans, including removing items that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior."

www.sportskeeda.com...

They also say right-wing and extremists are weaponizing kids against transpeople, and now gay people too, it appears.

Target is forced to remove Pride items because they want to keep their employees safe.

This is where the world is now.
