The March of Anti-Trans Legislation In America
- Thread starter Webster
- Start date
There is no anti trans legislation. Allowing men in womens bathroom or men not in womens sports is just common sense. But if they stop letting them speak freely, not allowed to vote, the second amendment, get rounded up, no representation in court, basically anything that doesn’t affect or hurt another human being let me know.
I think we've had that conversation in the past, years ago.
As I said elsewhere, sex is a fixed constant; with very rare exception you're either male - XY - or female - XX.
Gender, on the other hand, is a social & cultural construct built up over time that people are now starting to challenge regularly. Plus, as more and more people interact with, work with, and co-exist with other trans and gender non-conforming individuals, they're seeing them not as freaks or deviants but as fellow human beings deserving of the same dignity and respect we give each other.
And that includes accepting the fact that questions about one's own sexuality aren't restricted to just adults; I'm not a gambling man but I'd almost bet most of us thought long and hard about who we were as people long before we turned 18 and odds are, a lot of that took place within a school environment that is increasingly under pressure to conform to the whims of elected officials. (As much as I enjoy watching the collective freak show over at LibsofTikTok, I also see it for what it is at times: an effort by the Right to Rule 11 members of the LGBTQ community.)
No it’s not, lol!! They are one in the same and this nonsense of constructs and whatever other bullshit to make mentally ill people feel better and give them a excuse to damage society is what that is. Gender is sexes and sexes is gender, period!
No, sex and gender are different; how many times will I have to repeat it?
Sex is by and large fixed; with very rare exception, you're either XY or XX. That can't change and even the most radical of LGBTQ activists will say that.
Gender, on the other hand, is largely based on how society and culture expects males and females to act and has been that way ever since the first large civilizations came in existence.
Ever think about how or why they act the way they do or how difficult it is for someone of one gender to either express and/or live as another gender? That's because we're almost hard-wired to act a certain way and we struggle/rebel/shrink back whenever someone acts contrary to what we expect or assign to them based on sex.
Now, is there commonality between the two? To a large extent, yes, but even within that context there's an awful lot of variety.
You can repeat until the mountains wear down to hills and it doesn’t make it so. This a radical group of people trying to change facts to meet their personal agenda.
I think that’s what companies should do if they so choose to freely. Otherwise if your chromosome is male and or you got a penis use a mens restroom.
Republican who introduced anti-trans health care bill admits he didn't talk to trans folks first

Keeping men out of womens bathrooms is now hate and discrimination. So be it.
And you'll be called out for it each and every time.
I've said it in the past and I will repeat it: trans women are women. Trans me are men.
Their genetic sex may be fixed but gender is a fluid societal and cultural construct that changes over time.
I’m proud to except to protect women and children, and no I’m not calling all men pretending to be women dangerous.
There is nothing fluid except in for the continual bullshit on making up fake science on this
Its' not bullshit but hey, if you want to keep peddling it, its' still a free coutnry.
Just don't be surprised when the rest of society calls you out for it.
It’s made up nonsense not based on any science but instead making a certain tiny segment of the population feel good.
Let me see????
It’s about brainwashing children when they are young so they are confused, screwed up adults realizing they aren’t what they were pushed to believe instead of discovering what they are naturally.

No I wouldn’t.
How is acknowledging reality "brainwashing"? If there is brainwashing its' forcing children to fit into society's pre-determined cultural slots instead of letting them be themselves.
And a lot of those "screwed-up" adults were likely made that way by the very society trying to force today's children into those very cultural slots above.
No reality in any of that. When a 5 year old can’t distinguish between Santa being real or not they are easily brainwashed into fucking up children.
On that I actually agree with you; 5yo's are too young. Once you get to your teenage years or thereabouts, that's another story.
18 or 21 if you have to wait to drink or fight for your country you can wait before you begin mutilating your body and get past your body growing and going through it’s changes.
