Bill Maher on Trans Kids

[Morrison71]

I know it's Bill Maher and he's an idiot but I think it's worth talking about because like it or not this is how some dems feel. What can possibly be done for the trans community when one political party and practicality half of the other are against them?

Saw it this morning. Just a nonsensical TERF tirade that's not worth giving attention to.

 

[The_Iceman2288]

This rant was praised by Marjorie Taylor Greene. Says it all.

 

[GameRotation2022]

It's the #1 topic for many.

I knew Maher would be this way

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Maher was already a known transphobe. It checks out.

 

[Merc_]

Maher being a complete dumbfuck is par for the course.

 

[anexanhume]

Maher is to comedy as Musk is to the rich.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

I am aware there are a lot of transphobic pieces of shit on the left. I don't need to listen, or give clicks to, a dumb fuck like Maher.

 

[echoshifting]

It's always unsettling to me how many people on the left still think this guy is worth listening to. I had a friend talking him up in a group chat just this morning.

Anyway vile stuff and I want my ten minutes back. Typical old cis straight white dude bullshit. Maher is the original galaxy brain nincompoop.

 

[Bionic]

You can not give them attention and instead give attention to trans people whose voices you want to lift up.

 

[Zeliard]

Bill Maher is a Dem like Sam Harris is a Dem.

That is, they probably do vote for one side but also do as much to harm it as any Republican could ever dream to. They're wolves in sheeps' clothing, and susceptible to far too many college-aged kids without a clue who are happy to proudly parrot the stupidity and bigotry.

 

[jackie daytona]

It's crazy how much people worry about this stuff.

Like, ok, you have a poor understand of the subject and you don't like it. How in the world do so many people feel like it's directly affecting them?

 

[UnpopularBlargh]

Dude is trash.

Not much else to say.

Bill Maher is clearly not supporting Democrats anymore and the position of the majority of the elected Democrats and the judges appointedby Democrats is not same as the Republicans in relation to Transgender rights.Falsely Equating the Democrats to Republicans in this issue, don't help in any way.

Many? Half?

Where's the data on this?

 

[Jersey_Tom]

It's easy to simply dismiss Maher here, but honestly people should be taking this for what it is; a new direction in the right's playbook on how to talk about trans issues.

In this case we're moving into a dangerous territory of ascribing being trans to trying to fit into a "fad" and that being trans is akin to likely the same as what people thought being gay was 10-15-20 years ago. That is to say that being trans is something that could be prayed away or something you could just be talked out of being if given the "right guidance."

You may have noticed this trend earlier, but it's becoming more and more prominent that the right is not just attributing being transgender to being a mental illness that requires corrective treatment, but that also a not insignificant portion of people who identify as trans are doing so simply for clout, because I guess the right thinks that being trans is some sort of privileged status?

This is all normalizing stigmatizing transgender individuals and denying them their agency. And HBO promoting this kind of shit should seriously be called out.

 

[Princess Bubblegum]

Let's not give this transphobe the time of day. His talking points in the video are just so full of hate and fear of trans people.
