Vice President JD Vance’s Bluesky account was suspended within minutes of him joining the platform. His posts criticized medical treatments for transgender youth and claimed pharmaceutical influence over healthcare decisions.
Good. Fuck that guy.
no thanks.
he’s got a face only a couch could fuck.
I know several brick walls that would love to fuck his face.
What a pos. nobody is “pushing” these medicines on kids. it’s ultimately the kid’s decision about whether they want these medications or not and I’m not aware of any cases to the contrary. also these medications have been used for literal decades so how can they be experimental? how do you expect people to trust you when you lie so blatantly? glad he got banned.
Happy Pride Month ❤️
also these medications have been used for literal decades so how can they be experimental?
Honest answer: the drugs are being used off-label. It’s not even experimental, it’s basically a wildcat way of using them. An experiment would involve control groups and a double-blind trial, among other things.
I’m saying this because this is what rightoids are saying as criticism and you need to be able to counter that with facts. Right now, there just isn’t enough information and that’s what they’re capitalizing on.

40 years of using hormone blockers for precocious puberty. “Not enough info.” Fuck the whole way off.
double-blind trial
No. The data is fine. It doesn’t need to be perfect.
Thanks you. I like to know where to prepare to argue from. I appreciate you and how you tried to communicate your intention.
The thing with his argument is that I just struggle to imagine a scenario in which the experts and affected agree and we’re better off listening to judges, lawyers, and politicians instead.
There’s no reasonable argument from the avenues I’d listen to those groups (such as appeal to fundamental freedoms, rights of the individual, etc) where the position should be to bar these people from receiving treatment they want against expert recommendations.
In short, Mr Vance demonstrates the intellectual rigor I’ve come to associate with the denizens of Middletown Ohio, and the firm belief in one’s own right to be the arbiter of everyone else’s life I’ve come to associate with his ivy league education and tech background.
This is a man who argued with the pope about catholic doctrine a few years after converting and I honestly can’t make up something more exaggerated than that
The biggest delusion in modern society is thinking that a Twitter-like social media network is “the place to go for common sense political discussion and analysis”.
I keep hearing the media repeat this bullshit. Twitter is not and never was the “public square”. It’s a place for morons to be morons and heart each other for being morons.
Makes me wonder if the actual public squares, sans idealization, were also a place for morons to be morons and heart each other for being morons.
It’s like having an argument in a club but in the club people may reconsider what you had to say upon sobering up
And this is the point where he playbooks “i was just asking questions i was just being reasonable why are you so mean unreasonable leftist echo chamber etcetc”
Which only works when people let it. A swift “you started ranting crazy bullshit” is what is needed here.

Imagine thinking that one Clarence Thomas is less corrupt than thousands of doctors.
Coming from Vance, I like how the logic underlying the statements presumes a profit motive undermines the result.
Stupid shit has no rightful place in normal society
That is one stupid sonofabitch.
He’s not wrong about medical companies influencing patient care. He’s just wrong about who and why.
Exactly. Why would they give patients long out of patent meds that aren’t even habit forming for this? Nah, if you want to make money with medicine you gotta go the Sackler route. Every trans person I know’s HRT brand of choice is “generic please”
“Anyway, want a 6 months supply of Vicodin?” -The doctors he should actually be worried about.
Why? They pay him.
Sorry, I meant should as in if he actually gave a shit about what he pretends to give a shit about as a preface to target trans people.
Okay but we all know these fuckers believe in nothing.
If you don’t get that by now, you’re determined to not.
I…I’m fully aware. Thought that was pretty obvious from my last response…
( It was. )
So gotchas about it seem kinda… I dunno, a few steps behind?
Yeah, you’ve completely lost me. What do you mean by gotchas?
Apparently, they reinstated it saying they just wanted to confirm it was really him before fully activating it.
I was generally curious why posting that would get him banned. It’s def contrary to popular opinions on the platform but doesn’t violate any rules.
Corpos will never let you down. Only throw you there.
be me
young
want to have long hair
such a thing is not allowed because i cannot consent to it
also my opinion is probably bought by big shampoo
Isn’t he happy with his Truth Social account?
You can’t Own The Libs from over there
I hope his dick rots off, just so he can get to experience gender-affirming care firsthand.
The account was banned, and then reinstated after being verified.
His first posts didn’t get him banned.
It probably didn’t do any favours opening up immediately with obvious troll bait.
