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.

I thought this was the small government that wouldn't be telling people what to do

[–] Hotzilla@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 year ago

No no, government is only involved if it is against MY views

As usual, trans men do not exist to these fools.

Not that or matters to the sentiment, but men often compete in an open class, not a men's protected class, which is unlike other protected classes like women or disabled.

Yes, I know the Air Bud rule as it applies to non-male athletes in male leagues. And I will say the same as I did elsewhere in this thread- "Black men can't play baseball in the National League" was not a rule. They just made sure any black man until Jackie Robinson knew exactly what would happen to them if they qualified. And that probably didn't include rape threats.

I think it just shows how little they actually value women in any way, shape or form.

They see trans men as a total joke, that they'll never be a "real" man, and of course women would want to be a man! Being a man is the greatest thing ever and only thing these people have going for them, and in effect, transmen affirm their gender identity as being "the best".

It's the same reason they hate transwomen so much. They have such a low view of women, it disgusts them that anyone would willingly lower themselves to that level. It attacks their idea that being a straight white men is the best thing ever, and the idea that maybe it's not, and someone would willingly give up their masculinity and be happier is beyond horrifying to them.

They care about women alright, more than Trans

This will lower grocery prices

MAGA wants trans men in the women's washrooms and trans women in the men's washrooms. Give them what they want.
