News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

There's no previous cases of assault or harassment of cis people by trans people for using the bathroom. Their fears are not valid. It's as valid as a student suing because they have a phobia of the color grey and can't be forced to use a bathroom that has any grey in it.
The stupidest part to me is that cis women could also potentially assault other cis women in public restrooms but these bigots haven’t even considered that possibility.
Also, if you are a cis man and are just desperate to sexually assault a woman in a public restroom, I would think that a janitor’s uniform and a mop would be enough.
Or even the concept that trans men exist. They are demanding to share restrooms with men, on the grounds that otherwise they may have to share restrooms with people they think are men.
Absolutely. And when I see one of these white knights (and it's almost always a man) talk about how women have to be protected from men in public bathrooms and locker rooms and therefore people should only be forced to use the room corresponding to their biological sex, I show a picture of a man like this and ask them if they think the women they are desperate to protect would feel comfortable changing around him, despite his two X chromosomes.
And if you can’t trust the Mormon government of Utah when it comes to queer people… really, can you trust anyone?
It’s almost like the clippings alone don’t tell the full story.
But come on- would Mormon leaders ever be deceptive?
I did, in fact, look at the highly selective and edited document with no really good way to confirm every story. Or even more than one or two.
You, on the other hand, either didn’t notice the URL, don’t know who runs Utah, are incredibly naive or just dishonest.
The first article is from the Christian Broadcasting Network and many of the others are from Fox News.
Nice try. You posted a bunch of of right wing sources with a really bigoted agenda.
But that’s nothing compared to the trans agenda, am I right?
Do not pretend you’ve never heard of Fox News’ anti-queer bigotry and racism.
I don’t know why you want me to think you’re ignorant.
And yes, “news” articles from a company that owes close to a billion dollars for lying to promote their agenda can be bigoted. Duh.
That’s definitely one way to weasel out of your attempt to give Fox News and fucking CBN legitimacy.
HAHAHAHA! I’m the bigot? Bigoted against Fox News?
Damn, just take the L bro
Just wanted to add that the modlog shows why their deleted link was bullshit if anyone is curious.
People don't buy your bullshit outside the echo chamber. Hell, most people don't buy your shit IN the echo chamber.
I thought you were anti-socialism but you're out here getting publicly owned left and right
Only weirdo here is you, pro touching kids party.
I know! You're the party of young marriages right? The party of priests touching kids?
Okay christo fast, keep touching those kids.
The comment: "You're a child molester and christian"
You: "Now wait a minute, I'm no christian!"
