Your gender is how you feel about yourself.
Or how you're told you should feel about yourself.

Transgender has become another right wing culture war fought for the most part by people who are uneducated and ignorant on the issue.
Your sex is the biology you are born with. Your gender is how you feel about yourself. Usually the two mesh, but sometimes they don't. There is no biological test for gender/transgender just like there is no biologic test for gay or straight. Transgender phobia is very similar to homophobia of the recent past. In 2022 most people accept homosexuality. Transgender hormone treatments and surgical treatments are not entered into quickly or lightly. These people need our love and support not accusations that they are ruining our society.
This is absolute, nonsense. It's not about any phobia. It's about honesty and fairness towards women.Transgender has become another right wing culture war fought for the most part by people who are uneducated and ignorant on the issue.

Feelings, lmao. Because feelings are based in biological science.Or how you're told you should feel about yourself.
If you are talking about trans women competitive advantages in sports, I agree that is a problem that can and should be addressed. All the other nonsense on this board about transgenders ruining society, etc. is bullshit. “Saving” competitive sports is not a reason to prohibit individuals to express their inner selves and be happy.This is absolute, nonsense.

I can’t and won’t say that all states handle gender affirming treatments equally well. I can tell you that I recently had a very long conversation about transgender with my cousin who is the Executive Director of a LGBT teen clinic at a major medical school. My cousin is not gay, trans or woke. Trans kids minimally go through a year of therapy/counseling before any gender affirming treatment is initiated. Not all kids are “accepted” into hormone or surgical therapies. For children and teens the initial therapy is often puberty DELAYING drugs to allow the kid and his/her family time to sort things out.Gimme a break, Jason.
The "treatments" are being handed out like gumdrops to teenagers...in many states without the consent of their parents.
Wake up, pal, and stop reciting Wokeist talking points. You're smarter than that.
That said, yes, these people do need our love and support. But the best love and support comes from speaking the truth...not handing out poison pills on demand.

These kids are in pain. Ignoring their pain is not a treatment plan. Do kids change their mind? Does treatment sometimes change? Yes.

Lots of things are ingrained into various individual brains that are not beneficial to society. Such as a bad temper, an inability to be on time, an addiction to games, lack of empathy and on and on.... I have no problem with leaving these trans people alone, but I have a huge problem with them encouraging young kids to change their (gender/sex) biologically before they are 21. (In my case, I would state that in many cases, biological changes can't be paid for insurance or the govt until age 25)This is ingrained in a brain.
Like it is right wingers who come up with names like "birth people" for mothers or support not identifying boy and girl babies by their male or female sexual organs. Or, right wingers put warnings on the US Constitution in the National Archives. The Left is full of self-righteous idiots who are looking for ways to impose their uninformed self-righteousness on others.Transgender has become another right wing culture war fought for the most part by people who are uneducated and ignorant on the issue.

They demand the public not only accept them but give them extra special treatment. They shouldn't be celebrated for their weirdness.Transgender has become another right wing culture war fought for the most part by people who are uneducated and ignorant on the issue.

The ends justifies the means. They don’t care about the rule of law or justice or the constitution, just power. They aren’t FOR anything, they are just AGAINST things. Their public policies are culture wars. Voter disenfranchisement and gerrymandering are platform staples. It is truly amazing how many can fit up Trump’s ass (it’s big, but not that big).
They're a special breed of stupid .Through a conservative lens, every last word in the post above is backwards.
It is amazing to me the blindness. No ability for introspection.
Really? Let's use Jan 6 for starters. On Jan 7 Mitch McConnel and Kevin McCarthy forcefully criticized Jan 6 and Donald Trump. Now Jan 6 is no big deal, just a bunch of tourists walking through the Capitol. how about voter fraud? Dozens of claims about rampant Democratic voter fraud. Not a single claim proven in a court of law. In fact all the "proven" claims were of Republicans voting for Trump. Trump is on tape asking the Secretary of State of Georgia to commit voter fraud.Through a conservative lens, every last word in the post above is backwards.

Let's have some Republican introspection.
I already gave proof of this with Saul Alinsky. Ends justifies the means is pure Alinsky and libs.Through a conservative lens, every last word in the post above is backwards.

I have a good buddy who's gay and we've discussed various issues in the community . First thing he said was his conservative or libertarian friends were a lot more tolerant of his sexual preference than gay friends were of his politics .
He's not a fan of the over top flaming behavior, he said many on the community are attention whores and regular whores. Promiscuity is common monogamy is almost non existent even in committed relationships .
As for Trans people, attention whores with a lot more issues than I identify as the opposite sex. He's also said it's more about you most cater to them and celebrate them as opposed to accept them.
Tolerance means agree, acceptance means love and adore. To me tolerance means I put up with and acceptance means it is what it is, I don't love it or adore it.
Yep , it's why I debate very few of them and just mock them. There's no reason to try to be Perdue with them .I already gave proof of this with Saul Alinsky. Ends justifies the means is pure Alinsky and libs.
Pot calling the kettle black. Stealing or attempting to steal a Presidential election is serious stuff. Trump enjoyed watching the Jan 6 riot on TV and for hours ignored requests that he stop the violence. The President takes an oath to uphold and protect the Constitution of the United States. Not Trump. The only person or thing Trump cares about is himself.Diversionary post above, as usual. You live in a leftist echo chamber that refuses to see the catastrophic damage being done by your own puppeteers.
Nothing you've cited comes close to the mess being created at the border and within our cities. Trump is irrelevant, yet you want to make him relevant. So is his band of loyalists, yet you want to elevate them to some kind of terrorist group with weapons of mass destruction.
We see through your diversionary game. Just stop already. It isn't working.
Is the border bad, are there problems in the cities? Yes. Separate issue.
He isn't smarter than that. He's should be too intelligent to fall for this. Smarts aren't the same things as intelligence.Gimme a break, Jason.
