Wtb teddies progressive party

I hadn't seen that quote before. I like it.

He said a lot of good things that would make neu "progressives" cringe
“Any discrimination against aliens is a wrong, for it tends to put the immigrant at a disadvantage and to cause him to feel bitterness and resentment during the very years when he should be preparing himself for American citizenship. If an immigrant is not fit to become a citizen, he should not be allowed to come here. If he is fit, he should be given all the rights to earn his own livelihood, and to better himself, that any man can have.”

Any book that you'd recommend on him? I've been wanting to learn more about Roosevelt but I prefer an actual book to combing through a bunch of different internet articles

Not really off hand

I am sure there are some good biographies he is one of the best politicians in us history

Like when he was a police commissioner he was enforcing an unpopular law that was not being enforced by his predecessor, and told them if you want it changed, change the law bad laws should be stricken not ignored.
And when they held a parade about how much he pissed them off he showed up to it in person.

People don't seem to understand that. If you don't like a law, that doesn't mean that it isn't a law.

Is it transphobic to think that supporting the transition of children is disgusting?

Pretty sure there was a child psychologist who was fired because of activists because he said that some kids actually grow out of it. Also, that those kids are more likely to be gay.

pretty sure he was a specialist

i mean, i read this is a news article...that I should find, because now i'm sounding like the mainstream media.

Doing anything other than caving in to trans people is transphobic

Its another slur youll have to get used to if you want to talk about politics

Well I believe changing your gender makes you an abomination

Because if you aren't male or female what you are isn't natural

I do sometimes wonder if this isnt due to living in a modern society more than anything else

Theres been a lot of talk about not conforming to sterotypical guy or girl behaviors in the past decade

here's the article if anyone wants to read it https://www.cbc.ca/news/opinion/transgender-kids-documentary-1.4453667

Perhaps people just think theyll be happier as the other gender because they wont be strange for liking things that are "outside of the norm" for their standard gender

On this subject

girls get TOO mad when you ask them to make you a sandwich

Which is weird to say because im not sure there are that many activities/actions/lifestyle choices that are confined to one gender or the other

I swear half of them get mad as a self defense to the fact they can't cook

Since most girls my age can't cook

Ive got two friends who are currently going through the process and im doing my best not to treat them any different

I dont want to ask them all the questions that are on my mind because i know they get enough of that from everyone else in their lives

I had an aquaintence that went through the process, I just shrugged it off, she is an adult and entitiled to do what she wants, my opinion is she did it too fast after a bit uphevial in her life, I said as much when she started, but she didn't heed my advice, so *shrug* she can chose for herself.

Frankly I dont understand why people do it

The same reason why some people try to chop their own limbs off.

didnt know that was a thing

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_integrity_dysphoria

I give them a rundown of the dangers and that's about it

welp

thats enough internet for today

lol

lol

I mean, there's a neurological basis for gender dysphoria

But I personally don't think transitioning is the right answer
