Florida vs Disney

I actually agree with you here.

Where we differ is if that boy decides he wants to be regarded as female, it's still his right.

Not if he's under 18. It's too big a decision to be left to the child.

As far as adults go, you can ask to be called whatever you like. I don't care. You want to identify as a man, woman, trans, non-binary, Martian? I don't care. I'll even respect your wishes and call you Xem if you like, because, well, I'm a nice guy and why not? I have no interest in being rude.

Does a man have a RIGHT to have the LAW treat him as a woman? No.

That's what you say.

They say they have nothing against minorities or LGBT people; and that they just don't want their children to be subject to ideology that stunts their gender identity development. They'll tell you that boys are still boys even if they feel like they want to be girls and that a birth certificate gender based on anatomy and DNA is not a mere "guess" and tha ...[text shortened]... tells them this information is hurting them.

So you disagree.

That's not necessarily bigotry.

But with modern medical technology, people can actually chose their sex. Nor is such information beyond the reach of children; is it proper to have employees of the State lie to them?

OMG. Leaving aside this is a reprehensible opinion to begin with, now explain what this has to do with Disney, and why they should be punished at all.

It doesn't matter to the culture warriors, and a bit scary coming from the government. Any corporation expressing a woke opinion needs to go.

Disney bucked Florida's "don't say gay" bill. Desantis was pissed.

BTW, the word "gay" does not appear in the bill that the leftist media refers to as the "don't say gay" bill. Go figure?

PS to add,
I am not necessarily siding with DeSantis here, but... Disney really should have known better

No, it says "sexual orientation" among other things.

Does that make you feel better?

according to your expert opinion as a psychiatrist?

Hey, completely unrelated, have you heard of those republicans wanting 12 year old girls to give birth (even their rapist's child), those who want some teenagers tried as adults for certain crimes and those who want to sell them guns?
Nvm actually it was just a thought. it isn't related to your "too big of a decision" arguments.
