Cancel culture is real. How do I know this? I'm a liberal, but I do not feel free to express my opinions. Some of my opinions I don't feel free to express (except anonymously):
[b]

- I disagreed with closing schools and think schools should be 5 days a week
- I disagree with giving minors gender transforming hormones without their parent's consent because the long term health consequences are unknown, and I don't believe a 13-year-old has the wisdom to permanently transform their body in irrevocable ways
- I think that the focus on identity politics is divisive, brings out the worst in our country, and ignores huge swaths of the population that don't fit neatly into one group (my family, for example)

Were I to express these views publicly, I would probably face dire professional consequences so I sit quietly on the sidelines.

- you want to risk the health of teachers and the community during a deadly pandemic?
- you want to insert your opinion into the decisions of other families and their doctors?
- you want to ignore racial injustice?

I can see why you'd want to keep those opinions to yourself.

Another fine example.

PP with legitimate, articulate thoughts and concerns is a Neanderthal I guess. Thanks OP, you presented a real and provocative topic, many of these responses demonstrate your concern is real.

Haha. PP provided no legitimate/reality-based support for her opinions.

Yes, they did, and you just proved the point of this thread. No one is allowed to have opinions other than yours, sad...BTW PP never announced their pronouns, how dare you assume it was a "her".

I default to she/her on a mommy board.

And, no, PP did not provide any support for their opinions. Go re-read.

There is an "and Dads" to this site but OK. On your other point I was referring to the bold above, all articulate, legitimate points unless you are a complete close minded human like you.

PP didn't provide any substance for the three opinions they explicitly listed (in blue).

I do have an open mind - please try convince me that any of those opinions are correct. I'm very happy to debate them.

Or don't - just complain that you're a victim so you conveniently don't actually have to defend yourself.

The fact you can't admit that an individual can voice legitimate concerns/opinions based on their own experiences even when they have self identified as being liberal is the definition of a woke lunatic. You are the same person from a couple of days ago arguing about college counselors and Oxford. You have issues and I feel for your family that they have to live with you. I won't feed your derangement any longer so respond to please your freaky impulses but I happily give you the last word freak.

You are proving her point beautifully. She doesn’t have to defend or debate her opinions and beliefs with you. She probably doesn’t even want to because, as you’re showing, you’ve already decided she’s wrong and you’ll just attack her and shout her down as being “incorrect”. Those are her beliefs as a liberal, they are not wrong, and they are not incompatible with being liberal or progressive.

Dr. Seuss was "canceled" because his own foundation decided to stop making new copies of 6 of his books. The OP is being "canceled" because people are disagreeing with her on this thread. But Kathy Gifford wasn't "canceled," and neither was Liz Cheney. How do you square that?

I have two problems with the whole "Cancel Culture!!!" knee-jerk response. First, it proves too much: if you disagree with someone's views, that's cancel culture because...people should be free to express their views? Why would that apply to the original speaker, but not the person disagreeing with them? And if that disagreement comes with consequences, shouldn't the response be to allow more speech, so supporting sides and opposing sides can also be heard? Is it really Cancel Culture, or are you just losing in the marketplace of ideas?

Second, the right (and by this I mean right-wing politicians, fox news, etc., not right-leaning individual people) is very obviously wielding it in bad faith, acting hypocritically to distract from the fact that they aren't putting forward any good policy ideas, or any policies at all, besides Love Trump, Own The Libs. If they can keep people pissed off about Cancel Culture, then their voters won't pay attention to the fact that their party hasn't been able to come up with a health care policy in over a decade, or taken any action that's addressed economic disparity, etc. They ran this play with gay marriage and the War on Christmas, and now it's Cancel Culture. I keep waiting for conservative voters to wake up, but they just seem to really, really like being angry victims.

You are caught in the prison of two ideas and that is where this country is doomed. We have peaked and I say this as a 25 year retired military member with 5 tours to Iraq and Afghanistan who is permanently disabled. I watch this discourse in complete disbelief and wonder what it will be like for my grandchildren. You disparage the "right" but only wink at the "left" both are to blame. If you think for one second that the Dr. Seuss foundation's decision to stop publication of those 6 books wasn't simply to get in front of a CC landslide than you are intellectually dishonest. It was a bow to the CC masses to pull 6 or risk Dr. Seuss forever. It was over illustrations, those could have been changed, the words were and are still brilliant. Conservative voters aren't angry victims, there is actual suppression of speech, it is about power and the left wields it, they own the major industries that communicate and influence, the fact you don't get that is telling. Cuomo got a book deal and an Emmy for Fu#$'s sake. I'm not right, left or anything, I grew up in SF, have family and friends that are gay, straight and transgender. I'm pro choice, and pro legalization of marijuana. I'm Latino not LatinX, support a family and love this country, I weep that paradigms such as yours and many on this thread just can't get past the dichotomy of right and left and realize that the Constitution is great and should be followed, it is a gift and we in this country all have a voice...it should be allowed to be spoken no matter the words, on any platform and not suppressed by those that control information.

Sir, could you please explain the bolded?

Why do you assume PP is a man?

Because he referred to himself as "latino" not "latina."
