I've never been able to come up with a reason to care about what people do when it has no impact on my life whatsoever. Maybe I'm just strange that way.
The dumb Magat tied for FIFTH place!!!!! That means both she and Lia were beaten by several other women. If you come in 5th, just shut up and go practice some more. You did not win anything meaningful. Whining about her participation trophy. JFC.
Yeeesh, these people need to stay building birdhouses, volunteer, get a hobby.
It's not healthy to be so invested in the details of someone they don't know and who doesn't make decisions on their behalf.
🤪🤪🤪
Don't forget the other reason - people whose lives are miserable need to make up some "other" to hate and blame for no reason in order to feel better about themselves.
If you're talking about the bible, it explicitly does NOT tell them that.
Christ's message was, explicitly, about loving the stranger, and the gentile. The whole basis of Christianity is that you should love people, especially those who are NOT nice to you.
Right-wingers are always ridiculously over-concerned about things that actually don't affect them in ANY way whatsoever. Yet they're always going on about "freedom". They only care about their own perceived freedom to discriminate against people they don't like.
I've noticed the people that have an issue with the trans community don't actually know any trans people. If they did, they would understand they are just trying to live the life that is best for them. Because they are a small community, they are an easy target for demagogues.
I had the trans discussion with my niece. For every derogatory thing she said, I asked her if she or anyone she cares about was hurt by a trans-person. She started to realize they are living they're own life so step back and give them the same courtesy as any person struggling with life and identity
Its a sick mindset, an illness. It comes from men that see women as posessions and can't let that go, if they cant control or f*ck you or both they can't accept you. Many women & men also see it as an attack on their beliefs. Neither are acceptable.
You know I think I know the answer: Eliot Page, action hero. Lots of guns, fights and things that go kablooey. That might seal the deal for these brutes
At this point Riley is basically just using the fact that a trans person did better then her in a race one time YEARS AGO to be a straight up conservative media vulture 🤷♂️
That hate always shines through. Today I have decided that most who profess Christianity are total bigots and rape children at will. While supporting evil and criminal behavior. It is sad what they have become. Sad
I honestly don’t get it. Maybe I’m just very fortunate that my first teacher (kindergarten) was a black woman, my aunt is a lesbian and my older brother is special needs and I learned empathy and acceptance at an early age.
Mr. Takei, thank you for your decency, intelligence, and compassion. Your perspective is valuable in many contexts.
When will you spill the tea on Celebrity Apprentice?
Totally agree, not difficult. I used to have a weekly meeting 15 years ago with someone who had to spend time as her chosen gender before she went for the transition Op. All I did was write her new name on my pad at the first meeting, and I never made a mistake. I would have been horrified if I had
Half of the problem with Riley Gaines is she was ignorant and bigoted to begin with, but other, richer bigots have made it incredibly lucrative for her to be ignorant and bigoted, so she has been strongly disincentivised from actually educating herself or developing an ounce of empathy.
Because if they don't have clear and definite lines on masculinity and gender roles then they feel unsafe in a chaotic world. They desperately crave "order", because they fear everything, and anything that goes against their perceptions of order is instantly deemed dangerous: Reality is too scary
It's not about age, Mr Takei. It's about ignorance, bigoty and general assholery. People like Riley Gaines are just so ugly on the inside, it comes pouring out of them like water.
It’s funny because if we Really want to split hairs, the name riley is a man’s name. What, was the little ava braun hate mongers parents “libs” or something? I know that sounds petty, but their whole act( magats) is nothing but petty, bullshit propaganda. They’re not even good at it either
Good lord, I’d completely forgotten Elliot ever had any other name. When my cousin transitioned it was no surprise to anyone who actually knows her. The response was of course that’s her and there she is.
People who make fun of others are fundamentally unhappy and angry with themselves. My mother taught me this. If you are perfectly content in your own skin, you would never feel the need to belittle anyone.
I don't get it, either. My mom, who has changed her name more times than I can recall, just can't seem to fathom using "they" instead of "he" or "she." One little word shift. It's really not that difficult.
They fancied Elliot before and are now worried that may mean they are gay.
(They probably are, y,'know all that locker room fun they just thought was hazing....)
Some people can not accept failure. They have to find a reason, beyond in themselves, for the failure. Even when they finish 5th, well out of the podium, in a race they have to find something, anything, to blame for their failure.
Then they continue to fail upwards after it works once.
Gains is the most racist, homophobic, transphobic and incompetent little girl I think I’ve ever seen. Crybaby is an understatement and the fact she know how men talk, speak and think is hysterical! She needs to crawl back into her hole, under a rock and never come out.
@esjesjesj.bsky.social
When I was a kid and then a young adult I was harassed and ridiculed a lot. Difference is I am straight. Short round a little brown. I'm a mix blood native American. I'd walk down the street and have people say I had no right to exist. My mom was so ashamed of her heritage
as was many of her family. They didn't tell anyone what they were. Because of the Hate. Hate. Judgement. The shame and fear of being found out.
Other's believing they had more rights than everyone else.
Your fear shows through your hate as well as lack of understanding those different from you.
Yes, I'd say underlying it all is fear - fear of not being good enough so bring others down. If we could ever get rid of that, it might change a lot, though no doubt none of them believe it is their own fear and self-hate that fuels it all.
I've met a couple of men who strongly appeared to be of Indigenous ancestry who became incredibly insulted and fiercely denying it. Canada.
We had so many children taken from Indigenous families.
It's taking it as an insult that disturbed me.
I'm sorry people treated you without respect.🌹💙
Yeah. Stolen children. Some adopted out to white families. Not always good families . Residential schools.
They were "disappeared".
The rest? Forced to not speak our languages. Culture, religion made illegal. My mom didn't own up to what she was until I was a teen. Her new husband had a sister who
married a Bushy Head. Made it easier for her to talk about. My dad's family were conservative and racist. She didn't dare say anything. Not out of fear but to be treated differently.
My mother's people were Mohawk, Canook, Sac & Fox.
My children are Picurris Pueblo & Kiowa. The Red Road isn't an
Many people have deeply rooted insecurities. When they see other people shamelessly being themselves without any consequences from society, those insecure folks feel jealousy, which turns into rage and then anger. Then they project those insecurities until they learn better.
My aunt is an 85 yo nun and she has no trouble accepting trans people. But she's one of those "God is love" Christians, not one of those "FU, I've got mine" Chhristians.
It is not about age as much as it is about self confidence. Most of the haters are very insecure about their own sexuality so they take it out on others.
no man in your life, Riley, because you're an ignorant, blathering bully who's surrounded yourself with people the same as yourself. Such a bland, bleak, and stunted existence. May you evolve.
I know - it just continues to amaze me how absolutely fascinated and stuck they are on other people's bodies and what they do with them - it is super creepy - along with all the other creepy stuff. I can't understand why the world here in the US is so backward. Taliban, yes, but non where else
I loved how the transition on umbrella academy handled was 1 scene. We're cool, and we move on. I spend more time wondering how many space STI kirk got, then is sulu gay.
Your 88? What the hell. That number ,88, allegedly has connotations, and get this. Every time I go to comment on something, it's at 88 comments precisely. Or, 88 views, or 88 some damn thing, it's uncanny. For months. I was obsessed with the number as a kid, for other reasons, but it's everywhere😶🌫️
Some people can't deal with change. What they believed at 5 or 10 or 15 years old is JUST THE WAY IT SHOULD BE SHUT UP *plugs ears*.
I realize there's neuroscience and psychology behind this, but Jesus people...either get on the change bus or get dragged behind it. That's really the only 2 choices.
Riley Gaines is a mediocre at best swimmer who can’t accept that she lost. Trans athletes are the scapegoat for why she just can’t admit that she’s just not good enough.
This person clearly doesn’t want to change. Also, how exactly does a man act, think, and speak? I do all of those things as a human, not as a gender. This poster seems to act, think, and speak like a sheep.
Even the orange guy told an interviewer he always brings up the trans issue at the last minute before an election and tells everyone else to do so, because it works on the ignorant - creates the fear needed (though I don't think he used the word ignorant - too sophisticated for him)
Well maybe if the left hadn't made it the central plank of their political policy for the past decade, the right wouldn't get such good traction with it.
It's eaten up a ridiculous amount of political capital and it's not even won voters to the left. It's easy for the right to make us seem ridiculous when we're being so.
When my nephew transitioned, his 80 year old grandparents took zero time to accept and embrace and a couple weeks to seamlessly adopt the pronoun change.
Thank you. My parents don't support me. In fact I just moved over 300 miles to get away from them and their constant hate. Their excuse "we are to old to change or understand". Yet some of the people who have supported me most are the oldest folks I know.
I am sad that your parents will not accept you. Know that many families are created with people we choose who will celebrate you. Geriatric Grandmother here. I stand with my trans friends
George, you are almost 88? You are inspiring! Looking good my friend. I'm 79 and my goal was to live to 90. However, I am rethinking that goal since dt came on the scene.
Insecure people must blame their own personal failures on someone. They irrationally fear someone they don't know & probably never will know. Other ppl's personal lives have no impact on others unless they are committing crimes. They also feed off unknown fear and hatred of others. They r losers.
They hate because it's different, and anything that is different must be 'evil' and therefore chastised and wiped out, because some old story book they misinterpreted says so...
Now that everyone can see how hollow trump economic and diplomatic policies are, how clueless he is about everything. The only thing that they can push is his anti-wOkE bullshit.
Elliot is just a babe. He always looked so miserable before. It's nice to see him smile. I will never understand it either. Why are people so against others happiness and livelihood? It's bonkers.
It's basically Gaines' job. She's turned a fifth-place finish in one stroke in the NCAA swim championships (not a bad accomplishment!) into a career as Conservative Martyr and Rage Farmer.
“No man acts, thinks, or speaks like this. “ Apparently Elliot Page does. Elliot Page was cool when he was Ellen and is just as cool now.
One of my favorite things about “Umbrella Academy” was after Elliot’s character transitioned as well and the rest of the family was like “🤷🏻♂️. Cool.”
Almost 60 and a teacher of trans and cis kids. Students have always inspired me. They accepted each other. All of them from various backgrounds just living mostly complaining about having to learn biomolecules! Until recently now all I see is disappointment in their eyes and confusion.
The only thing that changes about Elliot transitioning is that it's gonna make re-watchings of "Juno" rather awkward, and turns "Inception" into a total sausage fest!
It's simple those reacting to this like it's an abomination are the very people hiding their authentic selves.
Being different, especially being LGBTQ+ is to them a neon sign flashing "My parents hate gays so I have to stay in the closet forever." #TorturedSoulsTortureOtherSouls
I was saying to my husband that people who are living longer are having trouble dealing with generational shifts, except in the Asian community.You continue to be amazing.
Today is my birthday and I just turned 61. Trump is encouraging all those assholes out there that haven't the slightest clue what "transgender" means and he's throwing gas on their "you're born with a dick, you're a man" fire mentality. It's revolting.
Riley Gaines’ “bread is buttered” on the con side. If she had empathy for other ppl (like she wanted ppl to hv for her immigrant husband), she’d be just another liberal who needed to work a real job. Ofc she needs to trash EP on social media. She’d be irrelevant if she didn’t.
The kind of people who will say, "Trans men aren't real men" are the same ones who would ridicule biological men by saying, "You're not manly enough, you're a girl!".
More engagements the more $$ she can line her pockets with. Major Bitch Monetizing 101.
But this is coupled with a self-hating realization that she is gray sprinkle on a rainbow cupcake....everyone in her life and the world knows it.
There's not much of a market for retired swimmers, so if you're trash and can catch a ride in the transphobia car of the wingnut welfare train, you take it.
I haven't cared about what was in my kids' underwear since I stopped changing their diapers years ago. As a Dad of 4 teenagers that last sentence is currently my life goal.
They obsess about the creepiest stuff. Personally, I've never put much thought into other people's genitals and/or private businesses. I've got my own shit to worry about.
This right here, all of it. Mine don't even work anymore. I gotta get my kicks a different way. Why the hell should I give a shit what someone else is packing down there? Can they get the job done? Are they cool with what they got? If they are, great. And I'll treat them like I'd want to be treated.
The only time i think of mr Paige's gender identity is whe i'm hating on David Cage and thinking about how his violation of Elliots contract must have affected his disphoria
They're straight up focused with laser vision. They don't even try to hide that they just want to stare at the genitalia of children so they can use that to harass them. Imagine being a girl & she has to prove it, then they mock what they see anyway. Inside buddy jokes about her private area.
It’s gatekeeping masculinity. They are so worried about their own that they have to do shit like this so they can feel ‘manly’. To me, being a man is to not care about stuff like this. Be your best self, let others try to be their best selves.
Eliot Page is the nicest, classiest guy in the world. This is the case of the guy with the smallest penis in gym class looking for the person he can safely insult or bully to pump up his self image.
I remember seeing April Ashley when I was in my teens and being struck by how beautiful she was - it’s really not that difficult to accept people at any age if you just open up your mind
As I get older, it’s become easier to roll. First, I’ve probably seen this movie and know how it ends. Second, with each passing day, the fewer days I’ll have to tolerate whatever happens.
I think trans men and women are a different type because they've experienced being the other gender. I think they're different anyway, individuals in their own right.
I take solace in the fact that I have a better beard and pretend that makes up for the fact his abs are so much more defined than mine... Dude puts in the *work*.

Live how you want.
Love who you want.
Damn, is that so hard?
Consenting adults should have that choice!
Ask Marjorie Traitor Greene where Riley gets her money
It's not healthy to be so invested in the details of someone they don't know and who doesn't make decisions on their behalf.

it's a common trait among fascists.
Tons of self loathing in these people.
Neighbors. Not “people”.
Then it gives directions on how to enslave those that aren’t “neighbors”.
Christ's message was, explicitly, about loving the stranger, and the gentile. The whole basis of Christianity is that you should love people, especially those who are NOT nice to you.
These people are not good Christians.
Take your lies back to church.
I had to quit, i couldn't watch her maturating her dick in front of bathing toddlers.
Not as a child rape victim.
I can't watch that.
I've been a trans activist my whole life.
Now I'm sick. These are full grown adult men taking advantage.
It’s all bigotry designed to get her more column inches.
Dude is super lean, and clearly does the work. I have a desk job and... yeah.
Also, I'm a shit actor, Eliott has talent.
🤷
It's almost like we're two completely different guys. That's just how that goes.
Just PERFECT, Mr. Takei!
That U.👊
When will you spill the tea on Celebrity Apprentice?
They suffer from conscience numbing fear of everything. Any change is horrific to them.
Yet what is life but constant change?
Oh yeah, and fuck the other guy right in his ear with a cholla cactus. He belongs to drown in the swamp of dumb
Even my cat.

I love that!
The entire trans community (adults & teens) makes up less than 1.2% of the entire US pop.
MAGA Rs are fueled by their hatred for others. . .
Yourself. Not them. You.
You're not alone.

I want them to be nice to each other, show some kindness to the people they meet, finish their homework and clean up their room.
