Seems like a bunch of lawsuits waiting to happen. You know one of these toolbags is gonna point at a cis woman with a double mastectomy and baldness from chemo and be like “that’s a man!” Seems like she’d have a good case.
The headline is NOT clickbait, for further details either read the article, or my comment to mormon Linktank.
Regarding paywall, Use an ad-blocker, and it will randomly complain about that instead of putting up the paywall.
When the complaint about ad-blocker shows, it can be closed and you can read the full article. 😋
I’m using ublock and hit the paywall. I’m not going to go searching for an alternative paywall bypass for the privilege of reading an article that I don’t know what’s in it.
The alternative is for someone who wants me to read it to copy past the article into a top level comment, not quote snippets in a reply to a specific person.
It’s clickbait because it doesn’t say the important part in the headline. Forcing you to click the article to know what the fuck they’re talking about. It’s a dick way to operate even if it doesn’t fall under the exact definition.
Yes that can be the case, but in this situation there are multiple reasons, and mentioning some would make the content of the article seem as less than it really has, and mentioning all would make an excessively long headline.
You also have to be realistic, and not call something clickbait that really isn’t.
I agree that 9 times out of 10,such a headline could be clickbait. but in this case there is actually a good reason for the headline.
Does clickbait have to be misleading? I have always considered anything phrased so as to compel you to read further by omitting the crux of the article to be clickbait, so this would absolutely fall under that. An article with a headline like “never do this while tanning!” that’s about the dangers of citric acid on your skin in the sunlight is a useful, true article with a clickbait title, as another example.
Clickbait headlines should be outlawed.
There was one thing I didn’t already know. This is also a bathroom law that relies on citizens to enforce.
So they’re going to be reporting any cis women that look vaguely non-feminine.
Start reporting every politician you see go to the bathroom. You know children are not safe around them.
Religious leaders too.
It’s Kansas. Is there a difference anymore?
Yes this is a witch hunt with the possibility of a $1000 reward, so the zealots will be all in.

Unblock works, that’s the one I use.
It’s not clickbait when it’s true.

Thank you. Seems obvious.
