DP. But it is a good example of how a radical left concept grabbed ahold of democrats. The redefinition of sex as gender identity. Men playing women’s sports. The rapid increase of gender dysphoria particularly among young females who were overwhelmingly struggling with other mental health issues. Children and young people undergoing medical and surgical treatment with lifelong consequences. All of which the Democrat machine promoted. And every time anyone even uttered a single question about it, out came the “bigot” finger pointers. So, while it is by far not the biggest issue affecting the most people, the hubris on display was unbelievable. And it reduced the trust in the Democratic Party. Kind of like a flat-earther uncle. You want him babysitting your kids? |
The right wing talks WAY more about trans issues and trans in sports than anyone I know. Turned out there were only about 6 trans women in collegiate sports in the whole country, and the handful of trans athletes were not even remotely "dominating" their respective sports, but 6 was too many and Republicans passed something like 47 different pieces of emergency legislation at federal and state levelshot. Mean, fine, they shouldnt compete. Big whoopie. But 6 kids gunned down in their schools, 6 mass shootings in the span of mere weeks and we can't get shit. Don't pretend you care about kids, MAGA. It only ever was about bigotry. You've made that clear through your actions and inactions. |
This exactly!! The MAGA are OBSESSED with trans people. Most dems I know only ever talk about trans people because the RWNJs insist on persecuting these poor people as much as possible. Generally dems want to defend the downtrodden and defend civil rights for everyone, so they feel they must speak up. Otherwise, we aren't thinking about this topic. MAGA are perversely obsessed with other people's sex lives because they are so WEIRD! Meanwhile, they could give two Fs about all the kids and adults being gunned down all the time. Guess there's nothing to be done there. Thoughts and prayers. And don't allow any abortions, but once a kid is born, F them, right MAGA? Wouldn't want tax dollars to fund anything that HELPS people. We need that money for stupid wars we can't win and arches and reflecting pools and ballrooms, amirite?? MAGA - SDASTFU. You are worthless liars and soulless ghouls and we are sick of your BS. |
When all you RWNJs have is lies, no one wants to listen anymore. We see through you. Every one of your accusations are confessions. You are one trick ponies and it is so OLD. |
It's also fact that the majority of gender affirming care is making sure chubby teen boys don't develop boobies during puberty. If we can't talk about anomalies privately there can't be even basic care. |
DP. I am not MAGA and have never voted for a Republican in a major race but it is pretty easy to see that some leftist/Democrat positions will not be viewed kindly by history. The fact you are so blind that you can’t see that is your problem, not the problem of history. |
I’m the PP you’re responding to. I’m not remotely religious. My reason for distrusting the left comes from the discrepancies; you can’t claim to love and support all people while simultaneously calling abortion “health care”. The procedure kills a human. And yes, a fetus is a human. My brain can’t do the mental gymnastics necessary to discredit that child’s life. Science shows life begins at conception; those cells have separate DNA. So there’s no “my body, my choice” going on here. It’s quite literally someone else’s body. History is full of groups we’ve marginalized and discredited. Those among us who aren’t born yet are currently the “approved” group to marginalize. So I’m stuck between two political parties I don’t respect. |
| Radical left is just another phrase Trump uses that he knows will fire up his base. |
A fetus doesn’t have “separate” DNA. Its DNA is just a combination of the DNA contained on the mother’s egg and the DNA on the father’s sperm. It isn’t new. It’s just their DNA fused together. |
You don't need to make this decision for anyone but yourself. There are better uses of your energy than arguing about non-viable life. Nature dumps garbage relentlessly. The mental gymnastics are what you've cooked up to hide this harsh reality from yourself and create meaning where there is none. |
It has separate DNA from its mother. This is not that hard. I'm pro choice, but have trouble personally with abortion. I certainly would not be advertising it like this coulple. Not too smart. |
Promoted? These are things humans have been dealing with for millennia. Through education humans increasingly have tools to better deal with them. I am sorry MAGAs and the GOP refuse to embrace science, but on planet earth, science is a thing, and managing how humans deal with their own physical and emotional touch points is a thing. So it isn't a matter of promoting it, it is a matter of not being an ostrich about it and using science to help people manage their situations. |
Civil rights will never be looked upon historically in a negative manner. |
+1 and who are the pedos MAGA.. MAGA wants old white dudes in schools examining student athletes genitals. MAGA is #1 child molesters in this country yep that's right from Jan 6thers that Trump pardoned to ultra conservative religious leaders to the guy that coined the term TDS who was just arrested for child sexual assault. To Trump's previous spiritual leader also arrested for child sexual assault. Come on down MAGA and explain your obsession with child marriage your team members voted for that in Oklahoma and Arkansas. |
Exactly. So it’s new life. I can’t accept the easy way out: that it’s “a clump of cells” that can be easily dismissed. I’ve studied my history. I know we, as humans, are very good at deciding who should/should not be respected as fellow humans with dignity. And see this as just another step in that evolution, another group we have decided is “less than,” with all the poor justifications to go with it. |
