jeffwMarjorie Taylor Greene and other Republicans attack transgender rights on RNC opening night
kitnahtSo what is the actual fucking problem with ensuring that trans individuals aren’t discriminated against?
The ONLY real argument for anything regarding trans individuals is sports. Women’s sports are divided out so they can compete equally. No sane person has a problem with ensuring that womens sports contains biological women throughout. And this affects FRAGMENTS of FRAGMENTS of the population (something like 0.15% when accounting for biological abnormalities)
Everything else, renting, jobs, retirement, loans, etc – should abso-fucking-lutely be a protected class against discrimination. Trans people don’t deserve to be treated differently just because you’re scared of them.

Au contraire. Because of HRT, a trans woman would generally have less testosterone than a cis woman. Some of the top-performing cis female athletes would be disqualified by rules based on hiring hormone levels. And puberty-related changes that would prove advantageous can be avoided with puberty -blockers until fully transitioning as an adult with full HRT. And even then the trans female adolescent is at a hormonal disadvantage during that age range.
So FEW trans people actually compete in sports to the level where this even matters. The fact that it even causes the general public to question the results of the sport is enough to not allow it. The whole spirit of competition is that people are playing on equal ground - and if it causes the public to question that equality, then it destroys the entire purpose. Sure, I hope that the public become more accepting of trans individuals over time, and that more studies are released that show they gain no advantage, but HRT is a rather new thing in human history. It’s us toying with nature, and just like genetic engineering - should be disallowed in competition. If India found some new goal in CRISPR to edit the human genome for gain in sport, and they entered the Olympics, everyone would frown upon it. Not because of sex, but because of tampering with the human body.
Only pure-blooded scotsman are allowed to compete.^ /s^
Also, if it looks like a sealion, talks like a sealion, walks like a sealion, and vomits shit up like a sealion, it’s a sealion. If you don’t understand, I don’t really care.
Bene Gesserit WitchYeah the sealion is barking, here’s is the same person in another comment:
I’ve had my niece say she was bullied in school for not wanting to claim she was bisexual or something - and this is in a pretty deep-red area. I’m sorry, but 50% of the population being LGBT is not anywhere close to reality, and is a pretty good sign that these kids are being indoctrinated. I understand the need to be understanding for people who are this way, but the ‘inclusion’ needle swung so far the other direction that it’s now convincing children that they are gay/bi/trans when they aren’t. Additionally, I’ve raised my children to take advantage of this and claim they are even if they aren’t - for the purposes of scholarships and other benefits; since being in one of these minorities will see you with better acceptance into college https://sh.itjust.works/comment/12746064
ObliviousEnlightenmentId love to see a source on the 50% number lmao
