In commemoration of the upcoming Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV), President Joe Biden issued a statement praising trans people’s contributions to society and describing actions his administration has taken to counter transphobic bullying and extremism. Additionally, many members of Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) also issued their own statements affirming that community health depends on supporting trans people too.
“Transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our Nation,” Biden wrote in his statement. “Whether serving their communities or in the military, raising families or running businesses, they help America thrive. They deserve, and are entitled to, the same rights and freedoms as every other American, including the most fundamental freedom to be their true selves.”

Legit question. Is sea lioning the same as trolling? Or is it more specific? I have only heard of the term recently.

seems to me they are not saying they are the same, but that they are both doing bad things.
ah, you weren’t being genuine

this can’t be proven
I made a good point, you just don’t like it
I can’t even imagine pretending to be this stupid lol
spamming your (irrelevant) links is not the mark of genuine engagement.
pot meet kettle
bothesidesing is not necessarily saying they are the same. i don’t recall ever seeing someone actually say both sides are the same.
Your in-/ability to recall information is not evidence.
In fact, why don’t you prove to us that you can’t recall information. Please.

Your original statement is a negative that “must be proven”. What is the purpose of your insistence in this discussion?

that doesn’t say they are the same

It’s a shame this comment is so far down because it is an incredible burn
You literally said “both sides are bad” in what I linked. You can continue to try to argue the semantics of your exact phrasing and vocabulary, but your intention is both clear and insufferable, no matter how much you try to deny it.
it’s bad to have your arm hacked off with a hatchet or sliced off with a chainsaw. they are not the same, though.
Here’s 3 examples from just a single thread that I was a part of not too long ago (I’d have more but I don’t actively save threads/comments regarding this topic so this is from a thread I could find via my replies that wasn’t deleted).
Better not acknowledge this, I might be wrong lmao

Maypull said very little in their response so, I’m sure you can add something if you try.
the first two certainly appear to be doing it, but without context, it is hard to say. the third explicitly said one is worse
The context is that it was a thread where people were debating whether people ever say that both sides are the same, which devolved into a debate over whether both sides are the same in some places. I’m not sure how saying they’re like Sarumon vs Sauron is explicitly saying one is worse in the third one, considering this was in response to a meme comparing them to Sarumon vs Gandalf. Aragorn in this comparison is their equivalent of a third party.
theses are all in the same thread? can you link it?
Well I’m trying to avoid sending anyone after the commenters en mass hence why I censored them but if you look in my comment history you can find the thread about a month back.
