Lot of hypocrites in this world.

Watched the space coyote episode last night where she makes an appearance.

Well apparently according to the WSJ the Bud Lite VP of marketing and her boss have both taken leave of abscences (translation tbey’ve been shitcanned).

AB has reportedly hired 2 consultants “with experience in Washington, D.C.’s conservative circles to advise the brand moving forward.” Lol like hiring DC consultants is going to do anything.

I think the point is we shouldn't judge a book by it's a cover.

I know that's a foreign concept to evangelical Christians but it's worth a try.

Lot of hypocrites in this world.

There are.


And I'm aware I am one of them. On some things.

I saw a video of some country singer joking about Bud LIght and then throwing a can on the ground. You know..because of gays and trans people.

The latest sales data from NielsenIQ and Bump Williams Consulting shows that Bud Light sales fell 17% in dollars, while volume dropped a whopping 21% in the week ended April 15.

That’s sharply ahead of the 6% drop in sales dollars and 11% drop in volume that Bud Light had suffered during the week ended April 8 — the seven days that immediately followed the April 1 launch of the controversial Mulvaney campaign on social media….

…“These numbers are staggering,” says an April 23 report from Insights Express, a beer-focused newsletter. “Right now this is an extremely difficult scenario for Anheuser Busch, the Bud Light brand and for AB distributors….

…..Bud Light lost 6.7% of market share last week, while Coors Light and Miller Lite are up 18%, according to the newsletter. A week earlier, Coors Light’s market share was up 10.6% over the same period and Miller Lite up 11.5…..

…Overall, Bud Light’s volume declined by 34.7% at bars, restaurants and other venues between April 2 and April 15, according to BeerBoard. Bud Light dropped to the No. 4 draft beer from No. 3 during the second week of the controversy, switching places with Coors Light, Brewbound reported on Monday…

In addition to the marketing pres and VP getting shitcanned, I bet the ABinBev CEO gets canned. Go woke, go broke.

Trans teen died from vaginoplasty complications during landmark Dutch study used to justify child sex changes

A 2016 medical article documenting the tragic death of one of the participants in the linchpin Dutch study upon which the entire child sex change experiment is based indicates that puberty suppression was to blame for the young person’s death.

The case is that of an 18-year-old trans-identified male whose puberty was blocked by the Dutch researchers at a very early stage, meaning there wasn’t enough penile tissue for surgeons to use to create a “neo-vagina.” Therefore, a more risky procedure using a section of the patient’s bowel was necessary, which resulted in fatal necrotizing fasciitis.

There’s risk in any operation. The “teen” was an 18 year old.
How many total deaths have occurred from the procedure? How many suicides have occurred from not receiving affirmative surgery? How many from non-surgical? affirmative care? How many from untreated gender dysmorphia (suicide)? How do these deaths compare to non-gender related cosmetic surgery?

It’s a tough situation.

To Baldy's point, the puberty blockers were used earlier. If they hadn't been used so early there might have been enough penile tissue to create a neo-vagina and the riskier procedure wouldn't have been necessary.

It is a tough situation and there is no one size fits all solution. The best approach is probably a compromise but neither side appears willing to do that.

Compassion and understanding for youth who question their gender identity and respecting a parent's role in raising their child should be part of the approach.

Republicans don't care what parents think when it comes to gender identity while Democrats don't care what parents think when it comes to teaching CRT or similar. Both sides seem to be filled with confused, hypocritical twats.

Good catch and I do remember recognizing that when I read it. I’m not sure however, that was the intent of Baldy’s article.

Sure, and herniorrhaphy is also genital mutilation, bariatric surgery is digestive mutilation, tonsillectomies are oral mutilation, treating a cleft lip is facial mutilation, etc.

And I guess I should have included judgmental in my comment that "Both sides seem to be filled with confused, hypocritical twats."

Yeah those are even remotely close to the equivalent of trying to change a dick to vagina and vice versa..

Not the Onion or Babylon Bee. School district in Vermont makes up new definitions of boys and girls:

Person who produces sperm in place of boy, male, and assigned male at birth.
Person who produces eggs in place of girl, female, and assigned female at birth.

What if a kid identifies as a male and wants to be called a boy? Aren't they disrespecting his choices?

That's as fvcked up but in the opposite direction as what desantis is doing in Florida.

What's so tough about the situation?

We tend to be comforted by the “normal” we grew up with. Getting used to change or divergence from the norm alone can be challenging. EG: we have a transitioning relative who’ve we known her whole life as one name and gender and are now expected to remember the new identity. I thought this would be easy enough for me…to avoid dead naming and misused pronouns. It hasn’t been. But it’s a small ask compared to what she’s going through and the courage required to make the shift.

Then there’s the suspicion for some of it all being a fad rather than natural.

I’m surprised you had to ask.

Ah. I can see where a relative you've known would be difficult. I had no problems with the transition of one of my coworkers, but as you stated, I didn't grow up with that person my whole life.

The part about fads is due to the lack of scientific rigor in the field coupled with an almost militant attacking of anyone who isn't 100% onboard. The movement is its own worst enemy. I see it in the autism field every day.

I’m sure you do. It’s true of all suspected neurodivergence including ADHD and bi-polar. Tough to clearly define and still relatively misunderstood by the masses. This has to be tough and at times extremely frustrating for you to deal with.

My issue is I'm disparagingly known as a curebie. I want a cure for my son and many autism supporters are aghast I want to "change" my son. This abhorrence is usually from neurotypicals or high functioning autistics. They have no idea.

In regards to the increase in transgenderism and autism, I have a hypothesis, and it ties into my biggest fear. We have polluted our environment with chemicals and this is affecting development. Way too many hormone disrupters in our environment. Have you been paying attention to the PFAS discussion? They e recently said "oops", we were wrong and forever chemicals are out there and causing problems.

Yes on the PFAS and I share your concern.

Another possibility is behavioral sink theory from the rat over-population experiments of John Calhoun in the 60’s.

Nature doesn’t like over-population. She will take actions.
