Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Just remember...your right to trash religion in all of its forms cannot be constitutionally abridged. Call them all baby-raping goat-fuckers to there faces. Protest there churches. Better yet, crash their therapy sessions with a great big old transgender make-out party on the sidewalk in front of their church. Keep it legal...make them show their true faces.

I wonder if anyone's ever made a fake conversion camp that just lets kids be themselves and hang out.

Interestingly I won't be surprised when this specific ruling is used to protect trans rights. A double edge sword if you will.

What?

How is medical professionals being able to tell patients false and misleading information going to be used to support trans rights?

They also can't be forced to lie or provide false and misleading information as well. The ruling even mentions the American Psychiatric Association calling homosexuality a mental disorder as a case where the AMA was wrong. It could end up being very interesting in how lower courts interpret this in the future in cases blocking trans care bans.

It's just about words...

Not actually treatements

But that's not even getting into how crazy expecting logical consistency or fair enforcement is...

Protect Iran's what? Oh, it's the other thing.
