Looking for somewhere to discuss stuff that doesn’t swing right or left and doesn’t ban people for voicing an opinion.

This post reminds me of an old adage I heard about driving. “Everyone that drives slower than me is an idiot, and everyone that drives faster is a maniac”

As others are saying, your middle ground is someone else’s extreme.

Well I was 2 day banned from Reddit saying I disagree with a ruling that was in favour with a transgender person and that I don’t agree with the ideals of transgenders.

I got a 2 day ban for harassment and abuse, appealed it as it was not, and then got a permaban.

“…that I don’t agree with the ideals of transgenders.”

Ah, there it is. Has the same vibes as, “I don’t have a problem with black people, just black culture.”

And what “ideals” are you taking issue with? You mean how trans folks want to be treated equally and fairly? Or maybe how trans folks want to raise awareness of violence across the world towards them? Or maybe how trans folks would like people to respect their pronouns, the exact same way people have been doing for centuries with nicknames and preferred names?

I’m talking about being able to discuss things like that without being banned to a certain extent. Example: I disagree with trans people “ok”. I want every trans person dead “not ok, ban”

There’s a big difference between “I wouldn’t choose that,” and “They should be prevented by force from choosing that.”

What you’re looking for is a hate group. You can advocate not just judicial rulings limiting the freedom of minority groups, but for disposing of the minorities once and for all. If that’s too extreme then you’ll just need to tolerate them. Be better than those that didn’t tolerate your hatred.

I don’t agree with the ideals of transgenders.

What does that even mean?

From my perspective trans people just want people to stop weaponizing the government against them. It’s just the latest bs moral panic to keep people distracted on culture war nonsense instead of actually trying to change anything of substance for the better.

It means that social media and now some public institutions enable transgenders to not seek mental health support for their gender dysphoria, and continue to act out. It’s really sad and I want them to get help.
