Dumb get dumber.

GAP's biggest mistake was apologizing and bending the knee to these idiots.

It also doesn't help "The CAUSE" that those two girls are actually sisters but who gives a fuck, right.

Not, "Random kids (and sisters) having fun."

Gap ( like most companies ) is damned if they do and damned if they don't. If Gap didn't have any black kids in their ads they'd be " racist " They put a black kid in and it's " racist "

Seriously how one can view that ad and find it to be racist  ???

It is advertising but someone has to stand up and say "Fuck you! That's stupid."

This is about stupidity and an utter loss of perspective, not race. People being gullible enough to legitimize every complaint or too afraid to call bullshit.

This is true. The word Tallboy comes from the black children who used to have to stand still and support the main clock in the family home back in the 18th century. Taller boys were more easily seen.  A disgusting chapter in America's history.

Medical issue? XY + male genetalia = male sex.  Not really a ton of wiggle room.

But, if by medical issue you mean mental health issue than I agree.

We are indulging peoples mental health issues as this disease progresses, all the way towards barbaric surgery and then suicide. The truly horrible and brutal thing is when young kids get "encouragement" from the wrong side of things and get twisted up.

This is a population that has suicide/attempted suicide rates that are 25-30 times higher than the norm, and it isn't because "we" aren't bending over backwards for them or not fawning over them enough or not letting them use whatever bathroom they want. Introduce those statistics and even casually mention that they need help and you'll probably be tarred and feathered, lose your job and be sent to prison.

A person can be gay, trans, or whatever and have mental health issues.

Being trans isn't a mental health issue (itself) but there's definitely a high association.

You couldn't handle being black.

If I were black, I would be too stupid to know it is wrong.
