An internal memo obtained by 404 Media also shows the military ordered a review hold on "questionable content" at Stars and Stripes, the military's 'editorially independent' newspaper.

    Americans are so weird.

    They’re also so dumb that they can’t see that this entire bathroom thing is just one giant distraction

      No shit. The solution is easy too. Make every bathroom non-gendered with ceiling to floor walls and doors on the stalls and cameras in the washing up area. Add a guard or attendant if you feel like you have to.

          Well, instead of regulating people’s bodies they could regulate bathroom standards that give people some dignity.

        While that is ideal, there’s an even easier solution: let trans people shit in whichever bathroom they prefer and direct that energy towards stopping known sexual abusers, like clergy and most Republicans

        Or, you know, make all your bathrooms gender neutral. Problem solved, if there was a problem to begin with. There never was a problem though, it’s all just made up and blown up by the likes of fox News which, somehow, is still legally broadcasting their lies over and over to brainwash the US populace.

        It’s weird and creepy

          Oh are gender neutral and non-gendered different things?

          I’m with you, but I’m solving their problem for them.

      Remember when immigrants were eating people’s dogs and cats in Springfield, Ohio and then they magically stopped on November 6, 2024?

      A LOT of Americans bought into that shit and didn’t question it at all when it disappeared overnight.

      'Mericans dumb.

        Yeah, no.

        I’m sure there are exceptions but take a long look at American culture and you’ll see that the majority is just… Weird and dumb.
