Have you lost friends and or fam due to your political beliefs?

[AzogtheDefiler]

Trans folks aren't going away because you don't like them, Troll-boy.

Here's how you can tell you've lost. Big corporations are telling their employees to use preferred pronouns.

Don’t care about trans men. They can do as they wish. Trans women in my kids locker rooms and bathrooms and athletic fields. Nope

That pronoun garbage is a fad

 

[JoeB131]

They do it in HS and middle school. My kids have experienced this. And ask Riley Gaines. You don’t have daughters of course you don’t care. It’s all conceptual to you.

You are right, I don't.

I also just don't see it as a big deal. If they are in HS, they have adult supervision in that locker room.

It was kind of like the VA Case, where you guys turned a case of an abusive relationship into a condemnation of trans people.

Well, if you need to believe that, fine.

I think you should share your views in the office tomorrow, let me know how HR reacts.

My kids don’t want to change in front of biological males or play physical sports against them.

It is both for us. We are no longer speaking to some family members and definitely have several former friends due major political view disagreements.

How about you?

I am responding, and yes I did just click respond, and flew over the whole thread, so sorry.

I was a poll taker in 16 in the state of Florida......not that I resided there, but went there as a snowbird every year. (ask Macadoozy, he knows)

I seen that Trump was going to win Florida,(or was relatively sure) and asked other pollsters from the same firm what they were seeing in the states they were canvassing in, most of those states in the South. They could NOT definitively say that Trump was going to win, but they did say that he was much, much, closer than the media was reporting.

In passing, I told my very best friend. He told me I was projecting, I was hoping, and that Trump was.........well, insert a name. I was like.....NO...I am just trying to discuss this with you.

Anyway..........jumping forward, after Trump won, he refused to speak to me for 3 and 1/2 years, until he seen the lead Biden had in 2020 according to the polls............... Biden won, then all was forgiven.

And now........well we do not talk politics any longer, which is probably the smart thing to do.

A friend of mine told me a very sad, sad, truth which I have since took to heart----------->you are NEVER, EVER, going to change someone's mind on politics, because they are predisposed to who/whom they want to win, no matter what. Makes no difference if it is right or left, they are going to take the one thing they are correct on, and shake it like a dog shakes a bone.

My suggestion to all of you is--------->keep politics out of conversations. You aren't going to win, and even if you do, they will insist you didn't, lol. Instead.......find common ground. Find that, and if your candidate is better than theirs, you will win........and so will they!

I own the Company. Oh oh.

If I see resumes with pronouns they go in the garbage. Same with LinkedIn profiles.

 

[JoeB131]

Then they should opt out of sports. Or join a private league. Problem solved.

The thing is, the parents of that trans kid are also paying for those facilities and programs...

I remember my father in law discussing resumes. He always said Midwestern resumes moved atop the rest of the nation. Employers are free to do whatever they wish.

That kid can use em but via his birth sex. My kids did opt out and now go private. My oldest is a D1 prospect. My younger one is better.

Bingo. Thank you

Well, that would be stupid. There are a lot of good reasons why pronouns make sense beyond the gender identity thing.

I used to work with a Japanese lady, but half the people who called in wanting to talk to her thought they were looking for a man. Her name didn't obviously indicate a gender to people unfamiliar with Japanese culture.

I can tell via LinkedIn

 

[JoeB131]

I can tell via LinkedIn

Only if they post a picture. A lot of people don't.

My brother was home for my mothers 86th Birthday recently, we had a nice family dinner, I paid for his dinner, everything was fine. When my mother and he went back to her house after, he decided political debate with his conservative Mother was in order, and spent some time lecturing her, about climate change and blah blah blah. He left the next morning, good thing.

I have yet to see a resume submission where a picture was not present. Not once and I have seen 100s

Gators need good players. Send them to the free state of Florida!

So what, that doesn't mean normal people have to accommodate the mentally ill you constant idiot! Tell them to start their own leagues!

Um, really? Most people I see don't put a picture on a resume. I've written thousands of resumes for people, I think I've seen maybe 10 who put their picture on it.

(I usually advise taking it off because resumes are now read by computers; they don't care what you look like.)

LinkedIn Profiles are another matter, most people put their pictures on LinkedIn.

 

[Hum Dinger]

Embarrassed? Or were you so intolerant of their views and so hostile to their comments that they figured it was useless to even address the topic with someone so stuck on their own opinion?

No, dumbass.

They were very outspoken about their Conservative views for many years, but when Trump got elected, they realized that it was their Conservative views that had led to trump's election.

That's when they became embarrassed.

 

[Hum Dinger]

Look at all the gullible people who have been so brainwashed that they hate Trump. We have some even likening him to Adolph Hitler!

If the shoe fits (and it does) he deserves to wear it.

Trump's statements clearly define him as a Mussolini fascist and have for many years.

Lately, his statements have been leaning more towards nazi rhetoric.

If people liken Trump to Hitler, then blame Trump, not the people who are calling out the truth.
