Hersheypark says transgender people free to use restrooms that correspond to gender identity

Issues like this are designed to get people to argue, so we don't see them stealing our money and dismantling our freedom. It goes even deeper than that though. It's a deliberate tactic. The seeds are sewn way before the argument begins. Divide and conquer. It's very effective.

Well look at that. We agree.

Tekwardo:

Nah. I don’t support fascism ...

And so you're willing to use trans people and their families and other loved ones as props in order to make a point that convinces exactly ... no one. Not my idea of being a good ally.

Ally? I’m not an ally. I’m a card carrying member of the community you dolt.

Mulfinator:

I just miss reading posts from rollergator and slithernoggin.

I did not realize this thread had resurfaced and that was the first thing I noticed.

Time flies.

I stand corrected. Apologies.

Tekwardo:

you dolt

One more comment like that and you're done. I don't care how long you've been here. Then you can tell the rest of the Internet that I'm a fascist. You don't call people names here. I think you know better.

I don’t use the word fascist lightly. That’s a term used for people who support fascist ideology and I’d like to think that you don’t support fascist ideology like coming after the LGBTQ+ community.

Just so I'm clear, you came to pick a fight with me based on an opinion I voiced nine years ago when you claimed you respected me, and now you believe I support fascist ideologies? Or did I somehow infer incorrectly despite the sequence of responses here?

I stopped respecting you. Simple.

I’ve grown as a person. You apparently still think allowing trans women in a women’s bathroom is a danger to your kids, which is why you said your opinion wouldn't be popular here and you didn't answer directly, which was easy to infer. It’s why I asked the question you ‘don’t care about’.

You're a conservative, correct? You either support their fascist ideology, or you sit back and allow it. Regardless, support or lack of action to stop the policy makes you complicit.

You don't know what he believes because he hasn't said anything more about it.

Move on, dude. This is not the way we conduct ourselves here.
