"Until I was eleven or twelve, I didn't realize there was a second set of labia on the inside, since you couldn't see them. What's even funnier is that I thought urine came out of the clitoris…When you're standing up, all you see from the front is hair. Between your legs there are two soft, cushiony things, also covered with hair, which press together when you're standing, so you can't see what's inside. They separate when you sit down and they're very red and quite fleshy on the inside. In the upper part, between the outer labia, there's a fold of skin that, on second thought, looks like a kind of blister. That's the clitoris."

In addition to the above, Anne Frank also talks about masturbation and her homosexual attractions. Yet we shouldn't ban this book as pornographic.

"This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes. I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples"; – Bible : Song of Solomon (7) : 7 – 8.

"11 “Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet in her lust and prostitution she was more depraved than her sister. 12 She too lusted after the Assyrians—governors and commanders, warriors in full dress, mounted horsemen, all handsome young men. 13 I saw that she too defiled herself; both of them went the same way.

14 “But she carried her prostitution still further. She saw men portrayed on a wall, figures of Chaldeans[a] portrayed in red, 15 with belts around their waists and flowing turbans on their heads; all of them looked like Babylonian chariot officers, natives of Chaldea.[b] 16 As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea. 17 Then the Babylonians came to her, to the bed of love, and in their lust they defiled her. After she had been defiled by them, she turned away from them in disgust. 18 When she carried on her prostitution openly and exposed her naked body, I turned away from her in disgust, just as I had turned away from her sister. 19 Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. 20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. 21 So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled." Ezekiel 23:11-21

@raphjd said in Oklahoma Governor Signs Law Banning Abortion From Moment of Conception:

It was a states' rights argument in that each state was allowed to decide who could get married and due to the FF&C everyone else had to accept it.

Oh, I get why you think that's a states' rights argument....you're stupid.

The federal government, specifically Congress, only has specific enumerated areas within which it can legislate. Marriage is not one of those enumerated areas. Marriage laws are, by the federalist design of our country, controlled by the individual states. That's not an argument that the marriage equality advocates were making; that's just plain fucking facts. Even after the Obergefell decision established that the right to same-sex marriage as a fundamental right, marriage is still controlled by the states. Post-Obergefell, it's just that a state cannot pass a schema for marriage that discriminates without that statutory schema being unconstitutional.

In the days of DOMA and the Same-Sex Marriage bans, marriage equality advocates were definitely making arguments based on the US Constitution. The "Full Faith and Credit" clause of the US Constitution cannot be erased by federal statute (e.g., DOMA). The argument marriage equality advocates were making was specifically that Alabama, as a state, does not have the right to pass a state law that refuses to recognize a marriage contract issued by the State of Hawaii. In other words, the anti-gay marriage states didn't have the Right as a State to choose not to follow the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the US Constitution.

That's not a states' rights argument, despite you trying to pretzel it into one.

@raphjd

"In response to questions sent by The Reporter after the meeting, district spokeswoman Christine Liberaski said Monday that “All Boys Aren’t Blue” was in the Oak Park library for five months during the 2020-21 schoolyear, but was never checked out by a student.

“Through investigation of the matter, it was found that the book was ordered after being researched and recommended as reading material helpful for students struggling with identity. After review of the book in August, it was removed from circulation (not last week as incorrectly reported) at the elementary school due to it not being developmentally appropriate for that age group. It was never read by the librarian to students,” she said."

So, it was in AN elementary school, never checked out by a student, and then removed from the shelves after an investigation by the school district. This is your big evidence?

@raphjd said in Oklahoma Governor Signs Law Banning Abortion From Moment of Conception:

When individual states where starting to give marriage equality and civil unions to us, the right argued that it was not legal under federal law, but the left argued that it was states' rights.

Pretty sure that they were predominantly arguing that the federal DOMA act was a violation of Equal Protection, and that states and the federal government allowing some states to refuse recognition of marriages performed in other states as a violation of the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the US Constitution (again, not a states' rights argument).

You'll have to do better than that.

@raphjd said in Gay Florida student says school stopping him from running for senior class president:

You called me an asshole and liar about that teen porn book being in Florida school libraries. Remember that?
Once I found the name of the elementary school that had it in their library, you ran away from the thread. So, using your rules, you are the asshole and liar since you have yet to admit that teen porn book was available in school libraries from K-12.

I don't even remember what you're talking about, but if you link to the discussion thread, then I'll try to make a special point of going back and reading your ramblings on the subject. If you've made cogent arguments that were responsive to the arguments I made, then I'll respond there. Frankly, I don't agree with the assertion that any book which discusses sexual events as a "porn book." By that definition, the Bible in the elementary school libraries is also a porn book.

@raphjd said in Oklahoma Governor Signs Law Banning Abortion From Moment of Conception:

What I find comical, is that during the "gay marriage" (I call it "marriage equality") argument, liberals where all about states' rights, but now they want a federal law.

What was the "states' rights" argument made by the advocates of marriage equality? I only recall marriage equality advocates attacking the federal Defense of Marriage Act on 14th/5th Amendments due process and equal protection grounds (i.e., definitely not states' rights arguments). And the marriage equality advocates leading up to the Obergefell were explicitly working against state-passed bans on same-sex marriage.

So, please remind me of the predominate states' rights arguments that you think the marriage equality movement was based on.

@raphjd said in Gay Florida student says school stopping him from running for senior class president:

So, as an "expert", why did you not include the whole thing?

So you don't understand how quoting works? Your critique of my argument is that I did not post a 20+ page SCOTUS decision; therefore, I don't understand the case.

@raphjd I seem to recall calling you a liar for posting a photoshopped photograph and refusing to acknowledge that you posted a fake photograph. Remember posting that fake photograph? Remember when you lied about it and refused to retract it?

@raphjd As an attorney that has practiced Constitutional Law, I appreciate @raphjd explaining it to me. I will inform Professor Erwin Chemerinsky that he needs to consult with you on the next edition of his Treatise.

Tinker v. Des Moines - Students do not “shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.”

More specifically:

In our system, state-operated schools may not be enclaves of totalitarianism. School officials do not possess absolute authority over their students. Students… are possessed of fundamental rights which the State must respect, just as they themselves must respect their obligations to the State. In our system, students may not be regarded as closed-circuit recipients of only that which the State chooses to communicate. They may not be confined to the expression of those sentiments that are officially approved. In the absence of a specific showing of constitutionally valid reasons to regulate their speech, students are entitled to freedom of expression of their views.

Let people be Cake gendered if they want.

It's just applying Deconstructionism to the word/concept of "gender," which is an artifact. Artifact in its correct usage, meaning something created by human beings.

@raphjd This is how your side's logic looks:

You've been diagnosed with terminal cancer. In response, you've Googled a bunch of stories about people impersonating doctors or practicing medicine without a license. And you've concluded that because some doctors aren't real, you don't have cancer. And not only don't you have cancer, but you're now immortal.

Biden was declared the President. In response, you've proven some amount of voting irregularities (which have always been present in all American elections). Conclusion, Biden didn't actually win the Presidency. Not only that, but also now we must declare Trump the President.

TLDR; is this post just @raphjd, again, being ironically trans-supportive, to highlight what a transphobic ass he really is?

@raphjd said in Fairfax County VA public schools to suspend students who misgender:

It forbids discussing sexual matters with kids below the 4th grade and requires schools/teachers not to keep secrets about what is being taught in class.

As an attorney that has read the entire piece of legislation as enacted, I can tell you with certainty that if you sincerely believe that your quote above adequately summarizes this law, then you have been bamboozled. Even the section you're trying to reference goes way beyond how you've tried to summarize it, and that section isn't even the major section of the piece of legislation.

Leftists suspend students for misgendering ---- "They're trying to control how we think!!!"

Florida's legislature forbidding teachers from saying "Gay" or discussing gender ------- "Nope, nothing to see here folks."

For equalities sake, I think it only fair for @raphjd to go thru Twitter right now and see some of the things that conservatives are saying about Nancy Pelosi and how they hope she dies after her COVID test came up positive.

Liberalism doesn't have a monopoly on stupid assholes.

Looks like former President and current comb-over floor model Donald Trump is having a bit of trouble getting his new social media empire off the ground. After an explosive debut (consisting mostly of people trying to join the site to mock the Circus Peanut), Truth Social has seen a 93% drop off in web traffic. Even the would-be American Fuhrer has only managed to make a single post on the supposed Twitter-killer app.

From what I've heard from folks that managed to get onto the app (there's a waitlist because the system cannot handle even a modest amount of users), the whole app is just troll bots and regurgitated content automatically reposted into the app by an RSS feed.

Looks like Truth Social might join Trump Airlines, Trump Beverages, Trump: The Game, Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Entertainment Resorts, Trump Style magazine, Trump World magazine, Trump Mortgage, Trump Steaks, GoTrump.com the travel site similar to Travelocity, Trumpnet telecommunications, Trump University, Trump Vodka, Trump Ice bottled water, etc. in the heap of failures for this sad, sorry excuse of a businessman.

I agree it's kinda douchey for him to wish Clarence Thomas death.

However, to your second point, that's an oversimplification of what happened at UVA. In all likelihood, Perkins was pressured by the FBI to recant his story (during an interrogation that they allowed the accused police officers to participate in) and threatened to continue to contact his friends, family, and his employer law firm after he graduated. Basically, they presented him with two options: (1) recant and it all goes away, or (2) we will open a civil rights violation investigation and pester everyone around you, including your employer, until we turn you into a pariah.

And the UVA intimated that it would oppose his Bar Fitness (the investigation done on all lawyers prior to them being allowed to practice after graduation) if he didn't recant.

He was tried by the school's Honor Committee in closed session, and they determined that he hadn't done anything wrong, which tells me that there was a lot of evidence that the public didn't get to see.

I don't understand why so many gays here on this site have such hatred toward trans people. It's just silly.
