T removed from LGBT on government site

Why so many deleted comments?

[u/CraftZ49 → u/DackNoy]

Because the sub mods have to walk on the thinnest glass regarding this particular subject because the admins are very ban happy on anything that isn't the leftist narrative on it

[u/skarface6 → u/DackNoy]

Oh, lots of reasons.

[u/DragemD → u/DackNoy]

Mods hard at work. The left is coming completely unhinged.

Edit, well ok so just more unhinged.

[u/Jainelle → u/DackNoy]

Hate bombs

Hot topic. You have to be careful what you say here or Reddit will ban you. Or worse, use this as an excuse to ban the sub.

Hence why the moderators crack down. It sucks, but it's necessary.

And let's be real - a lot of these removed comments are unnecessarily rude. Yes, most of us here don't agree with the trans agenda, but it doesn't mean that we have to take every opportunity to call names. Let's not stoop to that level.

They just moved the T to the right.

“LGB T”ravelers

It also looks like a very superficial edit.

In the article, they still refer to “X gender” on passports, which I believe is a Transgender issue.

So it’s clear the article is providing information for Transgender folks without referencing them.

I have mixed feelings about all of this. On one hand, it’s just information but it needs to be written in a way that is completely neutral, that does not suggest that the US government either promotes or discourages lifestyle choices. That’s my main issue. The information should be provided in the most neutral dispassionate way possible.

Especially when much of it is commonsense. They might as well say that if you are an Alphabet person traveling to Saudi Arabia or Iran, don’t be surprised if you come back in a body bag.

[u/spezeditedcomments → u/StarMNF]

I can confirm in the last two or 3 days the X has been removed from passport application. You can go check too, ds-11

[u/StarMNF → u/spezeditedcomments]

They need to fully rewrite that State Department article then.

As I said, it reads like the most superficial edit. You can tell whoever wrote the original article was a woke Biden employee, and someone came in and erased the “T” from “LGBT” and called it a day.

Such superficial edits make a mockery of the real issues.

Passports last 10 years, there will be X's in passports into Vance's second term.

[u/StarMNF → u/LegitimateApricot4]

I mean, the US can at anytime revoke a passport, and require people with X gender to get a new one. Whether that’s worthwhile is a different question.

[u/BlackTrigger77 → u/maxroadrage]

Makes sense to me!

I'm guessing it's because we already got Trump, so we just need to focus on Liberty, Guns, and Beer now.

Here is a very good BBC article which details the disdain about T among the LGB community. LGB community have time and again raised concerns of how the successful campaign to normalise LGB people was hijacked by T folks even though it’s not a subject of same nature, LGB being born as LGB while T being a different case.

Edit: for the difference, LGB is sexual orientation while T is gender oriented. T can be LGB but a L cannot be G or B.

[u/Delliott90 → u/KohliTendulkar]

Thought I was on r/politics for a second and was wondering how this was so upvoted.

[u/ScuffedA7IVphotog]

I must have missed a great battle because there is a full cemetery of deleted comments.

LGB is completely fine. Some of the people that I care about are in that community. I even hate calling it a community because they are peers.

T and beyond though, no. I'll always be respectful, but there is something I feel that is separate from the LGB peers.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

exactly this

[u/Reddstarrx]

I feel old because growing up it was just called LGB.

Not a real fan of removing the T part. I understand, but a lot of people may have different opinions, and I respectfully understand. However, we should not be isolating a portion of our population of our house small is from specific government information. Remember the whole point about being conservative is to be a small government, but to still be for people by people.

this time I don’t agree with this. Transsexual people are not going away and they should be allowed to be recognized and given information about their safety overseas travels.

[u/Reddstarrx → u/[deleted]]

Im not a member of either community. I would argue and say let those communities handle it themselves. But the government should stay neutral.

[u/Jay_Diamond_WWE → u/Reddstarrx]

And they are. They're not pushing it on us anymore.

[u/TheArizonaRanger451 → u/[deleted]]

I’ve always meant to ask. What’s that like anyway? I always thought it was a preference kind of thing, like liking ladies with a certain hair color, but I’ve never actually met someone I could ask before 

[u/skarface6]

Wow!

The State Department seems to have had the most extreme woke-culture in the federal government. In 2023, State was the agency that bulk inserted pronouns into everyone's emails.

The Department blamed Microsoft, but the fact that someone at State was even experimenting with the rollout is a sign of how far gone they were.

[u/silverbullet52]

None of that needs to be on a government website.

[u/TerminallyBlitzed → u/silverbullet52]

For the state department and travel, it absolutely should be. This is clarifying to people that homosexuality is still a crime in a large portion of the world. Some even execute people for homosexuality.

[u/squunkyumas]

Yeessssssss

[u/-Erase]

Gender and sexuality are two completely different issues and should not be lumped together
