Pretty sure you can already do that and iirc the mods do block access to the forums for school regions.

No they are just brainwashed.

Trans people exist my dude. Whether or not you think they should transition is another topic entirely, but to claim they don’t exist is quite silly.

And to blame trans people existing on people not being Christian is even sillier

People who think they are “Transgender” exist but they have just been lied to. They aren’t “trans”, and Satan is the father of the lies.

“You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”

My 8th grade class had to use NS as a school class region. The reality is that it doesn't really tie into existing curriculums very well, so the only people who really held onto using NS past the first couple of months are those who explored beyond the very sterile school class environment. This website is not built to be an educational platform, nor is it engaging to the general young population in the world of iPads.

Just because most don't entertain the bullshit claim that Trump is the rightful winner in 2020 (or blindly fight on the right-wing culture war) does not make this site far-left.


The majority of the population of NS are leftists. All social media except Twitter also has a far-left bias. The amount of “transgenders” and “allies” on this site also proves its bias.

It’s also hilarious when lefties deny that the culture war they started is happening.

It's hilarious that the right perceives themselves as the most oppressed people in history and yet are the ones doing the majority of the oppressing.

People who think they are “Transgender” exist but they have just been lied to. They aren’t “trans”,

Gender Dysphoria is a thing, it’s real. The debate you want to have is whether or not it’s correct to allow people with GD to transition to the gender they identify with or use a different course of treatment that prevents such from happening.

Now is it a possibility that some people might not actually be trans and just have a different mental health issue or suffered from abuse and believe that they wouldn’t be abused if they were a different gender? It’s possible though I’m not sure how rare it is or not. Either way that doesn’t really matter to the above question and the reality of trans people.

and Satan is the father of the lies.

HaSatan is just a heavenly prosecutor of sorts, I guess lawyers could be liars. Though lying isn’t in the job description.

Also humans have free will so…

“You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”

John 8:44

To me that sounds like whoever is speaking is talking to some person and most likely cursing them and calling them evil. I don’t see any evidence that proves HaSatan is the father of lies.

Also I’m not a Christian so the New Testament doesn’t apply to me

People have read it and still haven’t believed in the existence of HaShem. And tbh I’m kinda on the fence if the big guy exists. So if people have read the Bible and still don’t believe going to a church won’t help your case.

Either way this has nothing to do with the existence of trans people

GD is a mental illness not an identity. Hence “trans” people aren’t really “trans” but just mentally ill people who are being told that they are the other gender.

That still doesn’t mean they don’t exist. And they aren’t being told anything, though in some cases they might be, they truly believe they are a different gender.

So what you are really advocating for is that trans people aren’t allowed to transition as treatment.
