That’s not happening. Social media sure but so is your body my choice. Can’t control that. Teachers can’t even give a kid an aspirin without 50 forms being signed, but ads ran saying kids are having sex changes at school. That’s outrageous that those ads ran. Blatant lies all the way around. But whatever. You won. Nothing will actually change here because this wasn’t happening to begin with. So back to the status quo of this actually still really not happening.


Students at schools are allowed to be transgender at school and the school doesn’t inform the parents.

Like the Harris ads that encouraged wives to lie to their husbands about who they voted for. Democrats are big on lying to your family members for their sakes.

Schools aren’t operating on kids and changing their gender; they are encouraging kids to lie to their parents about changing gender and helping them deceive their parents. Sick.


This. But again..all I see from DCUM Democrats continue with denial denial denial....like a broken record they were discarded and lost because of this AND many other reasons.


^Leave young impressionable children out of your gender identity crisis. Stop with the whole cancel culture/pronoun/gender identity cr*p. Just stop. Voters and Non-Voters are telling you to stop. It's up to you if want to listen or not.

As an anti-Trump Harris voter, I am more upset about the continued denial coming from the DNC base. The continued dismissal. It's making me even more upset that I voted for Harris. It's making me realize that Trump won because of this denial and dismissal. It's making me mad a the entire DNC base because this denial and dismissal is why we have Trump.

It is even worse than this. There are kids identifying as various animals at school and teachers/admin enabling this behavior; albeit, the parents of said children are in on it too because they are insane and we as a society have been forced to accept this demented behavior.


Ah the old litter box argument!!! This shows your true colors.

This whole post is way off the mark. Democrats lost the election for "multiple reasons" -- that being said, one of the reasons is this:

A culmination of cancel culture, extremist DEI and woke culture, pronoun nonsense, social constructs not based on science.

I am disgusted by all the cancel culture, especially in regards to JK Rowling and I actually am a bigger fan of hers simply because she continues to stand her ground. Good for her! Recent Article below - I'm so proud of her.

They lost the election because people don't like this - and while too scared to voice it for fear of career damage and society cancelling - they were not scared to vote [or not vote or vote third party] accordingly and that's a big reason Trump won.



I recently went to an indie bookstore to buy the latest JK Rowling (writing as Robert Galbraith) book and was snootily told "we don't agree with her and do not carry her books." I said nothing but walked out of the store never to return. This is a woman-owned business and I was one of its first customers and bought hundreds of books from them. During the pandemic, I made cash donations so that they could pay their rent. I felt sick rather than angry that a woman I admired was so narrow minded.


Thank you for sharing and proving my point. This is one (of many) reasons Harris lost. The DNC has tied itself to this extremist cancel culture mindset. Then they turn around and blame this on "low info voters" and continue to deny deny deny. I regret voting for Harris because I am now seeing just how obtuse and "low info" the Democratic party truly is.


But you’re ok with a baker not selling a wedding cake to a gay couple? What can’t a bookstore owner decide which books she wants to seek and which authors she wants to support?


Because the cancel culture has gone too far. I love that JK Rowling continues to stand her ground and say "f* off"...but she has the funds to be able to do so. Many do not and live in fear of being fired or cancelled for simply having an opinion or standing up for their rights.

Sure, the bookstore owner has the right not to carry an author's books, but it's why she chooses to do so. Because the bookstore owner was brainwashed into thinking that just because someone disagrees on allowing minors to use blockers she's automatically labeled anti-trans. That is why it is wrong.


The DNC and Kamala didn’t cancel JK Rowling. You need to separate what the executive branch controls from changing culture. Kicking us all back to the 30s over it was dumb.


You continue to be obtuse. The DNC base and its policies do support the whole cancel culture/gender identity wars.


Republicans are all about cancel culture and identity wars.

They have led the charge on cancel culture for decades, with the Dixie Chicks all the way back in 2003, they canceled Colin Kaepernick, they canceled Nike, they canceled Ellen Degeneres, they canceled Kathy Griffin, they canceled Samantha Bee, they canceled Bud Light, they canceled Starbucks, they canceled Gillette and on and on and on - there are hundreds of things the right wing canceled.

They say marriage can only be a man and a woman. They say we are a Christian nation. They say you can't say "Happy Holidays." And so on. That's all right wing identity war. Immigration policy is entirely driven by identity politics. Gun culture is identity politics.

Saying this is a Dem thing is completely ignorant of your own side.

I loathe the Far Left, but I voted for Harris because I feel strongly that Trump is even worse.

When Trump is out of the picture, that calculus inevitably changes. If Democrats decide to double down on Far Left stuff, they will lose.

Yes, my true colors are my kid coming home from school and telling me their classmate dresses like a fox. I just make these things up on Saturday mornings and post on leftist message boards because it's good for my health.

Litter boxes in schools for kids who identify as cat gender was yet another FAKE thing from the right wing, right up there with "they're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs."

You are embarrassingly gullible and foolish and are completely lacking any critical thinking skills, PP. And, find better sources of information, because whatever sources you're relying on currently are just outright lying to you, PP.

The Republican cancel culture was in retaliation against the Democrat LWNJ cancel culture. Pure and simple.

Leave children completely alone. They are not the science experiments or the playthings of adults who are transgender and their “allies.”

“Allies” implies there are “enemies.” Who? The parents of children who want their children to be left alone about this stuff? Absolutely.

Democrats like to pit family members against one another for political points and votes. It’s gross. A family is so much more important than a political party.

Then how do you explain the kid at my DC's school that dresses and acts like a fox and was bitting other children and administrators did nothing about? Oh that's right that is a rightwing hoax too. Everything is a rightwing hoax. All is well guys. Nothing to see here.

DP. Those things are reactionary, aka conservative. Enforcing cultural norms is what traditional conservativism is supposed to be about. And pushing cultural norms is what liberalism is supposed to be about. Liberals, the tolerant left, tolerant of everything but intolerance aka cultural norms, has been pushing and pushing for a long uninterrupted time. Our cultural norms have moved very far.

Maybe you have pushed far enough and you can rest for a while. Maybe our cultural norms have been pushed too much and need to return a little bit.
