Well I mean there's this thing called gender dysphoria

It's equally as diagnosable as depression and anxiety

Many have it, which causes them to be another gender than the one assigned to them at birth

Gender dysphoria gives you distress because you feel like you shouldn't be the sex that you are

Gender reassignment surgeries simply make you the gender that you feel like you are

And does relive dysphoria

Trans people deserve to be treated just like their cis counterparts

Trans men are men, trans women are women

They may not be able to reproduce, but as long as they're happy and treated the same

True, but they should be treated like they're cis

True

They should be treated the same no matter what though

Couldn't have said it better

I'm here to learn more about politics, I'm in high school

To be more educated

I'm more in the middle but a right lean

In college I'm planning to do psychology

Nice

Black lives do matter, but when I think of that title, it gives me the vibe that *only* black lives matter. I like: all lives matter. All minorities shouldn't be minorities, there should be no minority/majority. Everyone should be given the same chances no matter their economic status, race, ethnicity, or sexuality.

At the same time I am very white and have not experienced discrimination first hand, I've only heard of people being discriminated against because of their color. Which is ridiculous, but I don't know if that's common

I'm not very educated on many race issues, so could some people educate me?

it shouldn't be just black, what about every other minority? Every one should be given the same opportunities despite their skin tone

Yes

It should be everyone has a chance

Yes

I believe that God is real, but there isn't just one religion.

Like there are afterlives for everyone depending on their religions

And all religions are valid to them

And if someone doesn't have the same religious beliefs as you, you shouldn't force them to feel the same way

Agreed, but they were oppressed for their skin tone for so long

I guess it really matters to them

Agreed

I believe that there's a God, but I don't believe all of the rules in the Bible are real

I think that God is more forgiving than how the Bible portraits

I think that it's ironic that the Bible says that being gay is wrong, but also that anyone other than God judging others is wrong

Let's just say that many Christians only follow one of those

I am one of them, but the one that I think is right

The no one can judge others other than God

But many judge people on the LGBT because it conflicts with their beliefs

Which is ironic because if you're a true "Bible Christian" you would stop judging

If you think being gay is wrong, that's fine, just don't come to pride parades forcing your beliefs onto others

That's interesting, and I agree

Agreed

You were born with whatever skin tone you have, and it shouldn't be something to hold someone accountable on

My ancestors might have been slave owners

My ancestors may have been slaves themselves

I'm particularly Irish

So..

But we never talk about that

Yeah, true. You see, I don't know much about the Irish slaves because guess what? They don't teach that in schools anymore

Yeah, but eventually it turned into skin color

People weren't given the same opportunities because of their race

Because they weren't seen as people

Even after slavery was abolished

When slavery *was* still a thing, blacks were seen as objects

But not anymore, i don't get why everyone dwells on the past

Eyy

What is the labor party?

I've never heard of that

Ah

Oh

Alright feminism is needed to correct some people, but not as needed as before. It's very needed in the middle east and Africa

There are people who still think that men are superior and more needed in society

When both men and women play different, but important roles in society

when I say I'm a feminist I mean that women and men should be treated the same, not that I'm a TERF.
TERFs and most modern feminists are ridiculous and I don't agree with it

And I agree

True, it can get confusing

TERFs just make me laugh

A lot of modern feminism is just women superiority, not women rights

Me too, they just want to be treated like their cis counterparts (when I say that like trans men being considered men)

Born as that gender

For example, I was born a female and I identify as a female

NOO

Me neither

Not all men are pigs

There's some really good men out there, but there are incels

Yeah, I agree

I care about everyone's rights

Yeah, true

I want to put my focus on everyone's needs and rights, no one should be belittled or not taken seriously about something because of their gender or race

I agree, soup

That's ridiculous, men get raped too. No one should be silenced

Oh God

I hate that

Yeah, but they're silenced because they have to "be a man" or they're accused of enjoying it

Then being called gay

Well said

Exactly, soup. It's just so contradictory

Yes, but it's also difficult for women too

The topic itself is very sensitive and difficult to open up about

On both sides

@un chien m'a léché un pbj😳 exactly, and whenever I get upset about something I'm told to stop being such a woman by my boyfriend's friends. It's ridiculous, showing emotion isn't feminine, its human

Not all men are like this, obviously. But it's sad that some are

Like it's sad how some women are manipulative and can get away with falsely accusing a man of rape and ruining his carrer

Yeah, which I think is sad

Men should be allowed to show emotion without being frowned upon

Which is ridiculous

By social media, do you mean online?

Which if that's the case, that is ridiculous. People can be persuaded and manipulated online very easily

Ah yes, I know what you mean
