Division in Oregon highlights growing political rift between rural and urban areas

Thank you, Ten Bears for sharing this video so I could post it.  What I want every one to understand is something the news reporters and the station buried.   The people upset and demanding this huge change … are only 20% of the population.  Now I listened to it three times and I couldn’t decide if they were saying the people in the county or the rural people in the country.  To me it sounded like country wide the rural people were demanding and were 20% of the population.   Which sounds right if you look at population maps.   Do you understand what that is?   A small minority is demanding the entire country abandon its progressive move forward into the modern age so a small segment of the population can be satisfied and happy.  It is minority rule over the majority.   It is not democracy!   It is what the fundamentalist Christians are trying to do right now to every red state on LGBTQ+ issues. Are we as a country going to allow the most violent vocal segments of our society force us back to a regressive past that will eventually destroy what the US really is and could be?   Hugs.   Scottie

The divide between rural and urban areas in the United States has been growing in recent decades with grievances and political consequences on both sides. Judy Woodruff traveled across Oregon to learn more about that rift for her series, America at a Crossroads.

Gender Theory: Why Now?

If you are unsure of the difference between sex and gender, or if you are question many of the hate myths about trans people, or possibly thinking trans people are new and never been accepted then please watch this video.

The host is easy to listen too, shows his sources, and uses facts, yes those pesky facts that refute all the anti-trans misinformation spread desperately through the right wing media.  The video covers how anti-trans groups formed fake medical groups to claim science said that trans was a sickness or such, but the video show that real professionals in medical science disagree and show that being trans and gender nonconforming is a normal difference some people have.  

Finally the hosts shows how the anti-trans movement push was started around 2008 when conservatives and fundamentalist religious groups were losing the war against gay people and gay marriage.  They were seeing gay people normalized on TV and moved to prevent that from happening for trans people.  Plus the video shows how this is about state control over everyone’s body.   He shows how the idea of strict gender roles formed when men felt marginalized and wanted to create a society that was male oriented and was based on male superiority.  For men to be superior, that meant they needed females to be inferior.  So strict gender roles were created and enforced.  This only has been the way for the last few centuries, not forever.  Hugs.  Scottie 

Does Gender Even Matter?

There’s a full blown panic sweeping America, and it’s all about gender, and especially people who don’t conform to traditional categories. But what is it about people’s gender choices that makes others so worried? Was this an inevitable facet of modern life, or is something more complicated going on? Let’s find out in this Wisecrack video on Gender Theory: Why Now?

PA Drag Story Hour Canceled After Emailed Threats, Two City Blocks Evacuated Over “Suspicious Package”

This is government by gang thuggery, or to call it what it is, terrorism.   And driven by religion.  This was again pushed as evil and child abuse by Libs of TikTok who as I recently have posted she is very proud of the violence she promotes.   She also is a rather stupid person who is overjoyed at the all the notoriety and attention she receives for stirring up hate and fear.   This is the attempt by the religious minority to take over the country, force the majority to live by their biblical doctrines / views, and rolling back all the civil rights gained by women, black people, and the LGBTQ+.  The US has never been and shouldn’t ever be a theocracy.  This country must not let bigotry and hate causing fear and targeting people for harm become a legitimate way to govern.  But again the haters win because the show was canceled denying the kids and parents who wanted it to lose out.  The haters are denying the freedom of others to enjoy themselves freely to enforce a religious view of morality on everyone.   We have to stop letting these events be canceled and the haters win.  If there was a bomb let the haters get blamed then found, charged, go to court, and …   Hugs.  Scottie


 

The Associated Press reports:

A scheduled “Drag Queen Story Hour” at a Pennsylvania library that had drawn opposition was canceled Saturday after a suspicious package was found in the building and two blocks were evacuated after threats were reported, authorities said.

Police evacuated the Lancaster Public Library after the package was found. A state police bomb squad later cleared the library, but police said “additional reported threats” were still being investigated. Residents of the block and another block nearby were told to evacuate, an order lifted several hours later.

A city spokesperson later said that a dog had alerted on the package and that the contents were later found to be “benign” but “subsequently, we received additional written threats via email.”

Lancaster Online reports:

 


Lissa Holland, the library’s executive director, said she felt “really sad, very disappointed and angry, that leaders of this county turned this into saving the children from the library and we are having to cancel this event because of safety threats.”

Though the library did not make the decision to cancel Saturday’s event, Holland said it was the right call during a brief interview under the overhang outside the Starbucks at 101 N. Queen St..

“Absolutely. It’s safety first, for everybody involved, For our storyteller, for the staff — and most important for the children that were going to be here and the families. I am saddened to the core” that the event had to be canceled, Holland said.

 

As usual, Libs of TikTok is behind this.

Terrorist.

It’s time to dive into Libs of Tik Tok personal life. There’s got to be skeletons in her closet that need to be expose.

It’s past time to ruin the Raichik CUNT–
by any means necessary.

How about her finances and tax returns. There has to be fraud there. She can’t Xitt from prison.

This is what those terrorists are demonizing. I don’t why we didn’t start protesting at churches every time a pedo was found, lost opportunity to show where the real threat to children was coming from.

Even truly religious people won’t protest churches, even their own when the ugly truth is revealed.

Dumb question: why did they called themselves Libs of TikTok when they’re anything but liberal?

I figure it’s a play on “People of Walmart” and other similar things – the pictures and profiles being posted are of the people the profile is against, not something they identify with.

 

What do you want her to call herself, Cunts for Christ?

They exist to Other.

It would be a bit of truth in advertising, you have to admit.

They thinks it’s a witty putdown.

Like “Let’s Go Brandon!”.

Makato is right. Her account started as something else and her career basically shifted because of the attention that was focused on her. There are several of these accounts on Twitter and what they do is collect other peoples posts from any social media–Reddit, Twitter, TikTok, Facebook, et cetera–and post it in their timeline. They have names like Whatever Posting Ls or something similar. LisbonTikTok (I like that typo and I’m keeping it) started posting stuff from TikTok.

Do you hate some group but don’t want to be bothered searching the Internet for things to hate and laugh at? Do you want reinforcement of your own biases? They’ve got you covered.

Same reason every fascist ironfisted christofascist law GQPs pass is a “freedom act”.

That’s called terrorism

Trump lifted the rock and the scum have all crawled out.

More Raichik shit. Library in Reading, Massachusetts just got a bomb threat, too.

She needs to be ended. Once upon a time, we had a CIA, didn’t we?

CIA FBI. The CIA is forbidden from running operations within the US, except for LSD experiments and selling crack and guns in red-lined neighborhoods.

That, then. How is this not a domestic terror threat? She got our leading childrens’ hospital shut down with her terrorism. Kids missed pedi chemo treatments.

 

She would claim this is a free speech thing and point out that she never actually tells people to do the terrible things they do. It’s a cop out of course because she gets her viewers enraged over BS. It would be like me saying, “Mr X is a terrible danger to society and someone should do something about him” and then when said person gets attacked and blames me I can say “I didn’t tell anyone to attack you!”

Enough, enough, enough! This is no way to maintain a society, permitting the sickest among us to call the shots by threats of violence. There must be stronger penalties for those bullies, those who terrify others with their threats, those who shut down the normal activities of society, those who cost thousands-to-millions of dollars for law enforcement and lost business. We must not allow them to make us all live in fear.

ALT RIGHT A.I.?

I am so tired right now having not slept last night, but I wanted to post this as I felt it was important.  This is a direct diversion of every search to the Republican agenda presenting in the best most convincing light.  Pushing project 2025.   So much for a neutral only the facts’ news AI media.  Seriously a bot designed to push pro-fundamentalist republican anti-choice regressive view points?  Is it deliberate? We people that love our democracy and progressive country better get engaged and vote, or we lose it all.  The wealthy owner class wants us to return to the guided age, when only businesses had a say, government had no power, and workers were slaves to be worked to death for profit.    Hugs.  Scottie

Microsoft’s A.I. bot copilot has been produced some strange results lately that make it seem like it may have been trained by alt right bros.

Why the political worldviews of young men and women are increasingly diverging | DW Analysis

To me as I listened to the video it became clear that the real issue is how a lot of this is driven on the male side from the era where men look at it as their entitlement to the best looking most attractive women they are attracted to, but can not have.  So they feel women are the real enemy, rather than the system that is denying each gender of equality.  Why do incels feel entitled to a female, a woman that is to please them as they demand / wish?  Because for far too much of history that was how men were taught to look at women, taught that females were to be used, subjected to their whim, to keep them happy but not really a person like they are.  They don’t see women as full humans like them.   The day that men and women see each other as equal will be the day all this conflict dies.  Hugs.  Scottie

Young men are more likely than women to drop out of college, commit suicide, and support far-right parties. But while misogynistic influencers like Andrew Tate are correctly blamed for fueling the incel manosphere’s backlash against feminism, there is a lot more to this story than incels, culture wars and wokeness. From stagnant economies and unaffordable housing to fears of cultural obsolescence, young men are grappling with a myriad of challenges that seldom enter the public discourse. So what is really behind the growing political rift between Gen Z Boys and Girls?

In the video we talk to Richard Reeves, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution and author of the book “Of Boys and Men” where he explores all the ways in which the modern male is struggling. Alice Evans, visiting scholar at Stanford University, who is travelling around the world to study this divide and makes the point that lagging economies, corporate algorhythms, and patriarchal mentality can explain this backlash. And Neil Shyminsky, Professor at Cambrian College and famous on TikTok as @professorneil, who sees in Influencers like Andrew Tate as a main threat.

Speaking at the School where NEX BENEDICT was Killed

It was crazy to listen to the mothers of the school talk about rampant bullying that the school is doing nothing about.

Some short videos about trans kids and the harrasment and troubles they face. Anti-trans laws / hater parents do not help

Due to not feeling well and the number of videos, even though they are short so are in foreign languages so I had to use the CC for those, so it took almost a week and a half to watch these and post them.  So I did not include because it caused me to trigger, like the ones where parents beat their gender nonconforming children, to make them be the gender they were assigned at birth.  That is like trying to beat the gay out of a kid, you can scare them into hiding it but you can’t make it go way or change it.  I simply wanted to give those that don’t understand trans kids or trans people a way to see what it is these people are dealing with.  Maybe it will change some people from being haters to being trans supporters.   It only take a few people to believe in a LGBTQIA persons worth to make a huge difference in their lives, maybe even save a life.  I hope people will take their time and watch the videos as I did, a few at a time over how ever long you wish.   If you watch only one, please watch the first one where a trans hater learns that the trans neighbor she like was trans, and well she learned and grew.   Hugs.  Scottie

Get Off My Turf! is a short film about a transgender woman who finds out that her neighbour is transphobic. The film delves into some of the modern depictions of transphobia and explores friendship, solidarity and conflict between two very different women.
SYNOPSIS: Clara is a girl who cannot show herself as she is. There is something that can control her, and forces her to live under a name and appearance that are not real. “I’m not him” will show the harsh reality to which transgender children like Clara are exposed, as well as the strength they have to move forward.
“A trans boy struggles with dysphoria and anxiety as he contemplates a night out with friends.”

So for my theater class, our final was to create a short film. I decided to do a film about a female to male transgender teen. I apologize for the binder, it’s really bad. I didn’t own a real binder. Ignore that please. I hope you enjoy it.
This short documentary about transgender ftm boys was created to bring more awareness to the transgender community. We don’t personally know any mtf transgender girls so please no controversy over the subject. We own all rights to this film except the music, the quote, and the statistic. This is the first film that we’ve produced and we plan on creating more shorts. We hope you enjoy it!! *** The music on this one got louder than the voices, so I turned the sound off and used the CC. Hugs. Scottie ***
A trans themed short film, created by an all trans cast production team. On remote northern Iceland two strangers connect and realize they have a lot more in common than previously assumed.
Young and Trans. Watch this powerful short film challenging the stigma of what it means to be trans today. Let’s come together for a brighter future.
We have been filming transgender boy Kai since he was 9 years old. In this film, Kai is 14 and reflects on coming out and taking hormone blockers. We also hear from Alex, 18 who is also trans and has started taking testosterone. Kai meets with Tayler, 19 and they both visit the Museum of Transology, where founder E-J Scott gives them a tour.

This is 5 years of a 10 year project, filming Kai, as part of a wave of trans youth, who have been given the best opportunity in life, never having to go through ‘the wrong puberty’.

My Genderation is an ongoing film project focusing on trans lives and trans experiences. All our content is created by trans people, about trans people, for a much wider audience. Currently run by Fox Fisher and Owl Fisher.
Come As You Are follows Theo, a transgender female in a conservative household. This film is dedicated to the God of love, regardless of who you are or where you come from
Featuring young trans actors in trans roles, ‘Listen’ honestly and frankly depicts some of the myriad struggles experienced daily by trans children and teenagers, giving a much needed voice to this often maligned section of the community.
