Summary
During a House Oversight Committee hearing, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) repeatedly shouted an anti-trans slur despite objections from Democratic Rep. Gerald Connolly.
She defended her remarks by attacking transgender rights and dismissing criticism.
The outburst drew condemnation from LGBTQ+ advocates and political figures, highlighting her shift from previously supporting LGBTQ+ rights to embracing anti-trans rhetoric.
Mace has used the slur in past statements and introduced legislation restricting transgender rights.
Methinks this Caitlyn Jenner doppelgänger doth protest too much.
Bigoted bitch
How come the reporting is censoring the word?
They use that word in “family friendly” automotive related YouTube channels all the time without getting dinged for demonitization or bans etc. Maybe their moderators have learned context?
That used to be the word I used for the tranmission of my car. Not any more. Bigots spoil everything.
Hate speech is censored to avoid normalizing language intended to encourage violence against the disempowered.
Oooh, nicely put.
Before your comment, I was thinking, “why not show the word? What word could it be? I’m a big boy and it won’t hurt me,” but … after your comment I think I get it.
I may have to take this away and think on it, and thank you for the catalyst.
Not quite as sold on it as the rest of the internet. Personally. About 5-6 years ago, people started bleeping every single goddamn word that could in any way be construed as troublesome, triggering, or any word directly tied to a controversial topic.
“Kll, rpe, mrder, pssy, dck, a**hole, fck, cndm, scde, terrrst, rtrd, gy, fgt, gncde,” I mean the list just goes on and on and ON & there’s no real objective standard. Everyone enforces the asterisks on a whim, just how they feel that day, and suddenly an article becomes a round on Wheel of Fortune. I’d like to buy a vowel, please??
Then cvid hit, and everybody’s talking about vccnes, the shot, the jab, the Fauci ouchie, etc. Vaxx. 🙄
Idk I’m just over it, I say the words. Except for “the n-word” and other overtly racial slurs. I can’t fully articulate my reasoning behind this; like you, I’m going to have to think on it. But I just view it as political correctness, controlling words & controlling, restricting conversation about uncomfortable topics to game things in their favor. Hijacking Christian values like decency & submission, manipulating their emotions to railroad their thinking into the mainstream. Idk. I’m just…pro-free speech & anti-whatever the fuck you want to call this nonsense.
You can be pro-free speech, and not censor the words, and people will still be subject to the consequences of their speech. 🙂
Yeah but you could report without reporting the word if that is the case. You could keep the fact “the slur has been used” yet they go the extra mile to put it and censored it it. The reporting should just say the fact that a representative used a discriminatory language. I agree with you that we are on for 4 years of hyper normalization https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperNormalisation
It makes no sense. How people know the word that should not be normalized? I’m non-native speaker and after all blah blah in this thread I still have no idea what is the word. So if someone says it, I won’t even know I should call out that person. Don’t we normalize using slurs by softening reporting? If slur censored why would bigots stop using it if they are not properly shamed? All it does is just hiding issue from media with no effect IRL. IRL, US elected bigot
This is a government of the absolute worst people.
We’re not going to take this lying down
The votes were not rigged, more reason for us to be ready.
Gross. You are become them. Classic American - apply a bit of stress and you cry Guns!
There’s actually a word for it:
damn. i don’t know much about her other than she’s been pretty vocal about UAP transparency. sucks that she’s an asshole too.
