I wonder if any of the anti-trans people around here will reflect on the impact their actions have on at risk children.

This story breaks my heart. A completely utterly avoidable tragedy brought on solely by hate filled bigotry directed at a sensitive human being. This assault in the bathroom was clearly the last straw that led to this sad end.

I cannot understand the mindset to express hatred towards a child who simply lives a different life experience. It disgusts me that powerful people pass laws and policies with such intentional nastiness in them. The infliction of pain is the point of things like denying a trans person to use their preferred pronoun or have their gender on their licenses.

And this is the end result.

Republicans, conservatives, religious people truly have no soul and have only hate in their heart. Words cannot express the disgust I feel for people that support anti-trans legislation.

In states with anti-LGBTQ laws, the number of hate crimes directed at LGBTQ kids in K-12 has quadrupled.

Republicans are scum.

Only Twoothy can find away to blame his political opponents for a suicide. Apparently, prior to trans being a thing the broad public even knew about , kids never got bullied in school.

Jeff doesn't care enough to find out.

More than 50,000 people can the US committed suicide in 2023. Every one of them was tragic and and likely very few were less tragic than the others.

Did you contribute to any of those suicides?

Again, a little self-reflection would do you good.

You have supported and you continue to support anti-trans and anti-lgbtq laws.

States with anti-lgbtq laws have seen hate crimes targeting LGBTQ children in K-12 quadruple.

FT Washington Post article:

Calls have spiked to the Trevor Project, which provides support to LGBTQ+ youth aimed at suicide prevention and crisis intervention. In the fiscal year ending in July 2022, the group fielded about 230,000 crisis contacts, including phone calls, texts and online chats. The following year, it was more than 500,000.

Yet jeff doesn't see the link

Similarly, the Rainbow Youth Project, a nonprofit that offers crisis response and counseling to at-risk LGBTQ+ youth, saw calls to its hotline rise from an average of about 1,000 per month in 2022 to just over 1,400 per month last year. The top reason cited by callers in 2023 was anti-LGBTQ+ "political rhetoric," such as debate over laws and policies limiting rights at school.

Young people will say, "`My government hates me,' My school hates me,' `They don't want me to exist,'" said Lance Preston, the group's founder and executive director. "That ... is absolutely unacceptable. That is shocking."

Jeff can read this and think "I am not the problem"

Since 2020, Oklahoma has adopted several laws restricting transgender rights. The state prohibits students from using bathrooms that do not align with the sex assigned at their birth and bars minors from receiving transition-related care. The legislature is considering additional measures this year, including a ban on changing one's gender on birth certificates and requiring that schools teach that "a person's sex is an immutable biological trait" that cannot be changed.

And

In a statement to an officer, Nex and their grandmother said three girls had been bullying Nex and a friend because of how they dress. In the bathroom that day, these girls were making comments Nex found offensive,

Jeff sees no connection, just a standard case of bullying.

Many of these bills have been championed by the state's schools superintendent, Ryan Walters, who said in an interview that Nex's death was a heartbreaking tragedy, but that those who are connecting it to bullying or gender identity are pushing a "left-wing agenda" and "politicizing the death of a student."

Oklahoma state's schools superintendent, Ryan Walters seems to agree with jeff.

Do you think Ryan Walters stated opinion will result in positive change for LGBTQ students in OK?

"Because you share a belief or an opinion does not mean it's connected to violence," he said.

Ryan Walters does not believe the stats from suicide prevention hotlines where 63.2% of students blame the anti-lgbtq laws for their anxieties and fears. 56.3% mention bullying.

It takes a MAN to reflect on these facts and consider their actions.

" Ryan Walters seems to agree with ... ."
I don't know enough about the situation to determine if bullying is the root of her suicide AND NEITHER DO YOU. Bullying is always bad yet it still occurs and not just against trans or non-binary kids.

If a first grader were to ask how 2 men can be married, the answer is simple, "instead of being attracted to women, they are attracted to men. They love each other and got married."
That's a simple 3 sentence response that answers the question.
It's amazing how public schools were able to manage this up until around 2011, give or take.

Twoothy is accusing adults of bullying trans kids. Without much in the way of anything other than anecdotal evidence. DEI/CRT has become widespread in our institutions and among other things accuses white kids of being oppressors simply due to the color of their skin.

Jeff doesn't believe a celebrity firing a gun a bud light cans is bullying.

At that young age a group thing is far better than a single or 2 or 3 kids. Kids will feel more comfortable and none will feel left out.

Interesting that hate filled -------- like bluewaffles cannot see how they are truly evil targetting and harrassing children.

The people targeting and harassing children are the ones telling them to keep secrets from their parents and are pushing hormones, chemicals and mutilating surgeries on minors who are struggling to figure out how to just fit in.

#86 | POSTED BY BELLRINGER

Why don't you ask the kids being harassed who is harassing them?

But you know better.

A normal person would reflect on their actions.

Truth, if people didn't find what Libs posted to be slightly creepy and sometimes revolting no one in society would care. People share videos every second, but the ones she shares are simply from your best and brightest. I don't understand why you're offended?
Here's the easiest way to settle this, are you okay with the what the content creators post that she just happens to repost? Or are you offended by the fact she's shining a light on it? What's the real issue here?

#91 | POSTED BY BLUEWAFFLES

Blue do you understand that you are on a thread about a non-binary child who killed herself, more than likely, due to harassment they received at school. In the state where the Libs of Tiktok ------- is employed in the state's school system and said woman inspired bomb threats at schools.

You understand that right? that this might not be the place to defend such a person, right?

Maybe YOU should reflect on your life choices

You were the one trying to place blame on the Libs of TikTok lady, I'm simply asking you what offends you more ... The behavior of the Left when it comes to kids? Or the fact that someone is shining a light on it. This should be a very easy question to answer.

#94 | POSTED BY BLUEWAFFLES A

The one shining the light on it is an ignorant bigot and you know that.

"I know you grew up in a sort of a more conservative community. Did you know any LGBTQ people growing up? What was your exposure to that community?" Lorenz asked.

"I never really paid attention to it," Raichik replied, dismissing LGBTQ+ people as a group she only recently learned about through videos online.

This is who you're defending -------. This is your "shiner of light" She doesn't know LGBTQ people and only recently learned about them through videos online.

Contemptible is too kind a word.

But, you're ok with the bomb threats that follow her posts, aren't you?

"A lot of LGBTQ people say that your posts cause an enormous amount of pain. How does that make you feel?" Lorenz asked.

"How does it make you feel that your reporting on me causes me pain?" Raichik replied.

"I feel sad for that, honestly," Lorenz said, prompting Raichik to inquire, "So would you stop?"

"No, I'm a journalist, and you're a public figure, but I'm just talking about these nonpublic figures," Lorenz said before Raichik cut her off.

A conservative must first and foremost be a victim.

Okay so you're offended by the fact that she's exposing wackos within your own party? Interesting ... . Thanks for clarifying.

#98 | POSTED BY BLUEWAFFLES

She's not exposing whackos she is terrorizing ordinary people.

Im just curious why you think you are better suited to make the decision for gender affirming care than the child, their family and their medical professionals?

Remember, jeff considers the wounds suffered by DEI and CRT to be equal or worse than the bullying suffered by LGBTQ children. Keep in mind that in the past few years states with anti-lgbtq laws have seen a quadrupling of hate crimes targeting lgbtq children in k-12. But having to learn that slavery was the cause of the civil war is far far more traumatic
