Unless you follow the said transgender woman on instagram  you wouldn’t even see her share that they sent her a can with her face on it.  No one is pushing anything on anyone which seems to be the consensus on people canceling bud light. If you go to miller light or coors light they have the same things directly on their website. It’s fake outrage.

Trying to compare apples with oranges.  Sales are not market capitalization.  It is the market cap that dropped. 

Got the perfect beer for you 

all this because bud light did one sponsored instagram post with a trans person is fucking crazy https://t.co/cB85lWAzKG

This is what people say to minimize someone’s opinions and completely not true. 

No, it's what I say to dumbasses who post 6 times in a row and still say basically nothing.

Looks like the CEO of AB is feeling seen.

I think I have asked this before, but no one really answered or dismissed it.

Does anyone on here actually know or interact with anyone that is Trans? 

I identify as an African American lesbian that prefers white women. Does that count?

No. And people should stop pretending it’s acceptable. Funny how the Trans are the most violent lately but the government would still say it’s the crazy whites you need to worry about.

See that's where if you had, you may change some of that view.

Probably not. I hope they get the mental health help that they need. Especially the freaks trying to destroy their children’s future health. You have to draw a line somewhere, make believing a gender is where mine is.

Yeah, you obviously haven't talked to anyone in person.

I work with somebody who is trans. Sometimes directly, sometimes via mass emails and such. Also joke/tease about sports to a trans man at the local grocery store.

Why would you ask?

No interest in doing so. The only mental disorder that people pretend doesn’t exist, instead of actually traating it.

Have you talked to them about all of these topics and got their own experience or thoughts? 

Also, do you consider them a person or someone that is like what is posted by people on here?

It hasn't came up in conversation with either of them yet but probably will at some point.

Let me ask you this , town:

Should we agree with anorexics when they say that they feel like they are fat, out of kindness and an open mind?  Should we adopt more pronouns to feel in solidarity with them? Maybe the pronoun would be "weightless". What about the sufferers who feel like they should have been born blind or missing limbs? "sightless"/ "legless", perhaps?

There are many forms of body dysmorphia. None of them should be messed around with. Yet here we are.  

It's interesting to me that neither you or geebock had anything to say when I pointed out that the activists and Biden want to pursue child trans affirming care which includes procedures like chemical castration performed on kids and Frankensteining their little bodies in other ways. You want IC to talk to a trans person like it's magical. It's not. Most of them suffer from acute/severe anxiety and depression, with or without social cues, and a host of other mental health conditions.

But according to people like YOU we are all supposed to ignore that other issues,  opting instead to be "allies". It's because of people who deny that anybody else might have a good point of conflict that we are now seeing the spike in detransitions. Because people ignoring all underlying problems in their efforts to signal how kind they are, detransitions and unimaginable amounts of therapy and drugs are all that these people have to look forward to in their lives.

Good job!

For myself, I draw the line at kids. Leave them the hell alone. Let their bodies and minds mature together before pushing critical gender ideology on them. Because it's unacceptable.

I do, and he (man pretending to be a woman) is now bat shit crazy.  Zero chance we would be able to have a "conversation" as you suggest (although you are most likely suggesting we just shut up and listen), because he would become immediately unhinged.  I hope he finds the help he needs considering the high suicide and self-harm rate these people have and I hope he isn't in the position to raise any children.   This is classic ptown though for any social discussion.  It's his boiler plate template coming in to act like the intellectual on every social discussion with "curious, have any of you all ever xxxx?"  Somehow ptown ALWAYS has the experience with any of the group of people being discussed, whether he knows one person or a group of them.  He also apparently spends the majority of his time having profound and in depth conversations with these people, so he can enlighten us on why we are wrong.

It's almost as if ptown is full of shit, or even worse he goes out of his way to collect anecdotal moments/people to drop in conversations like this one only to argue your opinion is not credible.  It's no different than the "I have black friends" card that most liberals get butt hurt over.  

Unfortunately, what moderate ptown does pretty much sums up every white male/female liberal has done since 2008.  It has evolved from telling people "i voted for obama" to "I know transgenders."

The 2008-2016 Obama voter playbook.  Love it.  "We need to have a conversation" LOL.  

At this point, if you don't know what this means, there is nobody that can help you.

Well, from my experience, a lot of your views, what you post is either wrong, or uneducated. But, you wouldn't know because you refuse to even accept or acknowledge them.

Good for you. Hey man, I don't apologize for my own life experiences and who I have as friends and colleagues. I do know good friends that are freaking out right now because of all the laws that are getting passed.
