Social media posts inciting hate and division have “real world consequences” and there is a responsibility to regulate content, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, insisted on Friday, following Meta’s decision to end its fact-checking programme in the United States.

      But calling people moronic before having a conversation does seem mean. Matter of fact a trans person just did.

        We see how cool headed are men when pay-gap is brought up.

        Fucking cry-babies, they call everyone a snowflake and want to concern troll endlessly, but the moment sexism and racism comes up in a discussion they lose their shit.

        Imagine when a trans person is perpetually punched down by the whole of society and still have to be nice because of strict tone policing.

        To me, a trans person has every right to call you a moron when if you tried to debate their existence and rights, especially now that blatant transphobia is legitimized and normalized.

            You claim in your username you are a guy. I respect your pronouns, sorry if this is confusing.
