Star Trek: Discovery Nearly Cracks Pirate Bay's Top 10 In Less Than 24 Hours (ew.com)
Yesterday was the season premiere of the first new Star Trek TV series in 12 years. While the first episode aired on the CBS broadcast network Sunday night, the second episode -- and all the rest to come -- was made available exclusively on the CBS All Access streaming service for $6 a month. Naturally, this upset Trekkies and led many of them to find alternative methods to watch the show. EW reports that Star Trek: Discovery "is on the verge of cracking Pirate Bay's Top 10 most illegally downloaded shows in less than 24 hours." From the report: The Discovery pilot is currently at No. 11 on the list (apparently at No. 15 just a few hours ago), the pilot is up there with the likes of HBO's Game of Thrones, Adult Swim's Rick and Morty and, for some reason, TNT's The Last Ship. The show's second episode is at No. 17, which is a tad surprising as that was the one that wasn't free. Ever since the distribution plan was first announced fans have resisted with some vehemence the idea of paying for "yet another streaming service just to watch a single show" (there's more than one show on All Access, CBS is quick to point out, and then a debate over the relative merits of NCIS and MacGyver repeats ensues).
Yeah that's not the problem. You know what the problem with transgenderism is right now? That it's trendy, just like autism was trendy a few years ago, and having gay kids were a few years ago too. That people are pushing kids into it, you know the same kids that legally can't understand the difference between right-and-wrong(aka mens rea) until they're 10-14 in most places. The same kids of the same age that want to grow up to be a train, truck, or kitten. That there's parents pushing the same because they want "special little kids" to show off to all the other parents to boot.
Welcome to why people actually care on the issue, where not getting proper psychiatric treatment but rather being able to walk down to a doctors office and saying "oh but I identify as that" is sufficient in some places to get the entire ball rolling. And that's not even stepping into the money spent on it by governments. Here in Ontario, the government will even pay for your operation. But getting cancer treatment in a timely manner(around 100-190 days), or getting on disability from a workplace injury is nearly impossible. But don't you worry, they'll be happy to do that op as soon as the psychiatrist says so!

Yes very progressive in the media and university establishment. And look at the government, so progressive in Europe. I mean just think how much shilling they go out for to protect islamists, covering up those rape gangs, burying their head in the sand over extremist imams. The same ones who'd turn around and kill that trans individuals or gays. And just look at that progressive media in the US, the ones not reporting on the mass murder by Emanuel Samson. You know the black guy, who's the equivalent of Dylan Roof and shot up that church full of whites. So progressive to cover up for the supremacist, I mean we really wouldn't want a "social outcry" like what happened when whitey shot up that black church.
It's kinda like feminism too. Which turns around and cozy's up with islamists and defends them so fiercely. The same islamists who'd turn around and demand that the "stupid whore should get that black bag on, and shut her mouth up." After all, those sharia courts that are running in the UK are also very progressive in many cases, per your own inquiry. They operate on the belief that women are eternal children. So progressive!
