Kudos to Macy’s which went ahead with plans to have the Broadway cast of & Juliet perform in its annual Thanksgiving Parade in NYC. The so-called “Millions Moms” had protested the presence of two out trans performers and had threatened a boycott of the broadcast. I’m glad no one paid those shrill voices of censorship any heed.

@georgetakei Jesus christ why are so many people obsessed with peoples genitals.. just let people be they dont effect you... who cares if there were some trans people.....
Thanks for sharing.
@freemo @georgetakei I will never understand this either. A man marrying another man- doesn’t affect you. A trans actor in a play- doesn’t affect you. Someone wearing a mask over their face- doesn’t affect you. So why are they OBSESSED with these things?
@LexiGirl Honestly I dont know.
Best answer I have is they have been in so many fights, ones they probably started in many cases (well except maybe the masks, that initiates the other way) that they associate them with the confrontation.
Not that thats an excuse, its just the only psychological explanation I can think of, a learned pattern with no logic.
@freemo or maybe they just like a fight??
Yea thats true too, of both the extreme left and extreme right, on many issues.
@LexiGirl @freemo @georgetakei
Most of them are obsessed because Fox tells them to be, and for no other reason. Demagogues incite their hatred as a calculated tactic to maintain tribal identity.
@LexiGirl @freemo @georgetakei I'm sure it's about control: they want their beliefs enforced at all costs, and they do it under the guise of "saving" people. It may not even be conscious for many of them--they don't see "saving" as power & control; they just crave the fulfillment of "saving" people, which equals exerting power. Their self-worth is tied wholly to the ability to control others. But they'll never understand that about themselves--they're incapable of that degree of self-awareness.
I think all sides are about control in that respect.. no shortage of those on the left who want control at all costs and are willing to even be violent to get it, must like the right is and has been willing to do.
Thankfully while the right seems obsessed about judging you based on your genitals the left judges you on very different criteria outside of the scope here.
@LexiGirl @freemo @georgetakei They’re presented with groups portrayed as the enemy to keep them in a constant state of outrage so they don’t direct their attention to the people screwing them over.
@freemo @georgetakei Someone who is obsessed with running shoes is a sneaker head.
Someone who is obsessed with genitals is a dickhead.
