Facebook just banned me for 24 hours for saying this word

[bigneil]

The word "Trann-y" is now considered so bad on Facebook that when I commented over an article about a Supreme Court decision, I was banned from Facebook for 24 hours, and my comments were removed. Unbelievable. To think that we are catering to this .1% of the most confused individuals on Earth.

This creates the illusion on Facebook that nobody disagrees!

Here was the first sentence in the article - look how it immediately declares itself Liberal, with Zuckerberg's blessing. "The Supreme Court announced Monday, over the dissent of one conservative justice....". This falsely implies that only someone who is conservative would not want transgender bathrooms. Is anyone else tired of the media pushing it's political views in every sentence?

Are we moving to a ONE political party system? As if choosing between a turd and sh!t sandwich wasn't bad enough? And for the record, I am neither Conservative nor Liberal. I am Libertarian.

This is the slippery slope to absolute tyranny. The First Amendment is in order of importance. And to think THIS issue is the one we use to dissolve it? Something as ridiculous as a third type of bathroom for the mentally impaired Tofu eaters?

The mere fact they have to say "one conservative justice" as opposed to just "one justice" is proof they have a liberal bias, but this is nothing new.

It's so easy to just brand dissent as hate speech nowadays. Makes me sick.

It's been the abbreviation for the word transmission for generations. I still see signs at auto repair shops, like Tranny Flush $29.

I wish I owned a transmission shop so I could have a sign that said Come and see us so you don't get tranny surprised!

Well 'gay' had a different connotation for most of the history of the English language.

What's your point?

I don't understand how tranný is a slur. It's short for transgender. Similar to how homo is also viewed as a slur now too. Or Retard.

Man things our getting out of hand, soon "black" will become a slur and you'll be forced with jail time to use "African American."

 

[Bible_Belt]

Or Retard.

Comedian Ralphie May has a routine where he points out that retarded people aren't offended at that word....because they're retarded. But people who are not retarded have decided to get offended on behalf of a third party who has suffered no harm whatsoever from that word.

"For some reason they were nicknamed memory holes. When one knew that any document was due for destruction, or even when one saw a scrap of waste paper lying about, it was an automatic action to lift the flap of the nearest memory hole and drop it in, whereupon it would be whirled away on a current of warm air to the enormous furnaces which were hidden somewhere in the recesses of the building.[5]"

George Orwell in Nineteen Eighty Four (1946)

God forbid humans use language to warn one another.

I guess it won't be long before police show up at our doors after we share a politically incorrect post (i.e., something truthful that offends a villain).

To be fair, it is only Conservatives (and really only Conservative men) who have a problem with transgendered folks using the bathrooms they "dress as." Most Libertarians certainly don't. For them to care it would seem to go against the Libertarian philosophy. And, to be honest, it goes against sane philosophy as well. Forcing transgendered females to use male bathrooms is asking for violence and lawsuits.

As for "tranny" being a slur I can tell you from some experience drinking with transgendered people "tranny" is a slur because it has been used insultingly and occasionally with violence throughout their lives. A word is defined by the context it is used with and history of it's use. "Tranny" is a loaded word and insults a lot of people. Facebook, under it's own free speech rights, is free to ban it all they want.

 

[wifehunter]

stupid facebook... did they at least give you a warning beforehand? I mean, how could you have known? Do they sent out memo's for all the naughty words?

Minorities have rights.

And for the record, I am neither Conservative nor Liberal. I am Libertarian.

I have a funny feeling you don't know the meaning of Libertarian.

This is the slippery slope to absolute tyranny. The First Amendment is in order of importance. And to think THIS issue is the one we use to dissolve it? Something as ridiculous as a third type of bathroom for the mentally impaired Tofu eaters?

You seem to have a pretty shoddy interpretation of the First Amendment. Facebook is a private company. They can censor what you say if they want.

You seem to have a pretty shoddy interpretation of the First Amendment. Facebook is a private company. They can censor what you say if they want.

1) Minorities do not have "rights". All Americans have rights enshrined in the Constitution. There is no right to free health care. There is no right not to be offended. There is no right to make a living working for minimum wage. There is no right to force a business to make a special bathroom for you. When you offer one person a right to something free you take away another persons rights to spend what they earn. Nobody promoting free health care has any right whatsoever to lecture people on the Constitution. Obamacare was the most un-American piece of legislation ever - and to think people support a 20,000 page bill that they never read just because it's called Affordable Health Care is a travesty.

2) A Libertarian believes in both Economic and Personal freedom. That means I can smoke pot and I don't have to pay for your Prozac. According to the Nolan Chart I am almost a pure Libertarian, differing only one variable - I don't believe in open borders.

3) So on one hand you support businesses ability to take away our actual rights to free speech and free assembly, but when it comes to tranny bathrooms, suddenly it's "minorities have rights"?? As readers can see, Liberals have ZERO integrity. They simply try to say what they think will get the most likes, while doing the opposite. They are the cheapest bunch on Earth but when it comes to welfare suddenly pretend to be a charity. Furthermore, Facebook advertises itself as an open forum. It is a breach of contract for them to censor information. It is an abomination for them to promote Liberal ideas and punish or censor Conservative ideas. This is was the IRS and Lois Lerner was doing.

Admit it: you hate America and you want me to bow down to your leader, who you think will favor you.

LOL, this happened to me a few years ago. I think these abominations go around searching for the word just so they can alert the content control folks.

The words homo & retard are slurs too that will get you punished. I have used the term Negroid in a discussion about races & human migration, and did not get punished for that; it's a scientific term, so they can't complain.

What's your point?

Yes, the Flintstones TV show promised its viewers a "gay old time".

 

[bigneil]

Why would someone who is openly gay pretend to be offended by the word homo?

Why would someone petitioning for a separate bathroom and openly declaring that they are unsure of their own gender be offended by the word tranny?

They're not offended. They want to control people.

I feel like the act of censoring words just makes them more offensive. You're basically saying, "Ok, no one say this word othewise you'll be an insensitive d*ck" ... ok, so now if someone wants to be a d*ck, they know exactly what to say. It's like we as a society are agreeing on what the buttons are we can push to offend people

 

[SeymourCake]

Why are you still using Facebook? I deactivated mine years ago and never looked back. People use Facebook to keep tabs on other people's lives.

What the the **** do you think I meant? Can you make a sentence without contradicting yourself? How stupid is this pair of sentences?

There is no right to free health care. There is no right not to be offended. There is no right to make a living working for minimum wage. There is no right to force a business to make a special bathroom for you. When you offer one person a right to something free you take away another persons rights to spend what they earn.

Obamacare was the most un-American piece of legislation ever - and to think people support a 20,000 page bill that they never read just because it's called Affordable Health Care is a travesty.

What does any of this have to do with facebook banning you?

2) A Libertarian believes in both Economic and Personal freedom. That means I can smoke pot and I don't have to pay for your Prozac. According to the Nolan Chart I am almost a pure Libertarian, differing only one variable - I don't believe in open borders.

You're entitled to your childish ideology. That's politics.

3) So on one hand you support businesses ability to take away our actual rights to free speech and free assembly, but when it comes to tranny bathrooms, suddenly it's "minorities have rights"??

Ahhhhh.... like I suspected. More anger and liberal bashing. Facebook is a private company. Like I said, they can censor you if they want. You consented to it in the terms of service when you signed up.

 

[EyeBRollin]

Eyebrolling, yet another question you are dodging...

Which question was dodged?

Would you support facebook if they banned BLM?

Would I still use facebook? Yes.
Not sure why they would ban BLM though.

 

[EyeBRollin]

Would you support facebooks banning of BLM?

No. Why would they do that?
