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.

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.

He should make a tumblr account. Tumblr admins are happy for people to post death threats against trans people and wishes for genocide, but ban trans people for calling out transphobic pseudoscience and Holocaust denial.

I hope his dick rots off, just so he can get to experience gender-affirming care firsthand.

Think you're in trouble now? Wait until Trump expires and the real monster shows his "hillbilly ugly" face.

I'm already seeing reminders on bluesky to JUST block and ignore them. The right wingers who tried invading Bluesky earlier got bored and left cause they all got blocked.

Stupid shit has no rightful place in normal society

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

He isn't banned, takes just a second to check.
