Why do Rs hate the LGBTQ community?

[Anonymous]

I just don’t understand why they are doing everything they can to make them invisible and strip them of rights. Help me understand. Don’t give me Bible BS. There are plenty of other things in the Bible we don’t permit like polygamy.

Republicans don't give rights to polygamists either, so I don't understand your point.

Maryland had no right to tell parents that the administration could overrule their decisions on when to expose their young children to political and sexual and quasi religious “my soul is the opposite sex from my body” concepts. It should never have been brought to scotus because it was so common sense that of course parents can opt out.

Any parent can order those books off Amazon and read them to their four year old.

The school doesn’t have the ride to override the parents.

Does no one know that many are born with unidentifiable genitalia and most frequently are assigned female by the Dr and family. Why is science scary?

On Religious freedom I want to opt out of abortion bans. Jewish religion allows them.

Very rare. All kinds of medical abnormalities exist that don’t need to be discussed in the elementary years.

Laws of general applicability still apply.

I want to tell parents they can’t opt out because it is a nightmare to manage this.

I want people to use common sense that books about gender dysphoria don’t need to be a part of the 2nd grade curriculum.

I don’t want this to be a slippery slope situation. What if I don’t want my kid to be read books about Muslims? (Again I really don’t care but this has big implications.)

It's really not many and in those cases there is a recognized medical diagnosis which is discussed with the parents.
There are genetic tests, blood tests, scans, research. Noone is guessing, they are using objective scientific data.
It is very dismissive for families facing these objective medical issues to put body dysmorphia in the same category.

I agree. And so do many Christian denominations. And Islam - which is similar to Judaism in this way. Saying abortion is not desirable but putting the mother's welfare first.

Outside of the far right Christian evangelicals, I think most Republicans are just fine with LGBQ folks. Gay marriage is an issue that has been resolved for some time. There are many gay Republicans and always have been. The issue is with the T. They think the normalization of gender fluidity among adolescents has been harmful for children. And they believe trans women competing against biological girls and women is inherently unfair. So too allowing biological males inside women's prisons, domestic abuse shelters, and so on. I'm not sure why Democrats are digging in on this issue. The vast majority of Americans are with Republicans on the issue of trans people in women's spaces.

Again - why is this even an issue to begin with? There’s a reason teachers don’t read books about periods, circulations, breast enhancements, anal cancer to 2nd graders. It just seems like a total lack of common sense.

Frankly I don’t care much about the T when it comes to all the issues you mention. No trans woman is going to rape a woman. Or rather the chances of that are far less than rape in general. People are making a big deal of something so minor. I am a Dem and I have two daughters. I am not worried at all about a trans woman competing against them. It is so so unlikely.

This is exactly spot on.

Also - why do we have to treat the LGB folks like this if it is just the T? I am
Not saying it is okay to do this to the T but why steamroll a whole segment of society because they don’t like 1 person of 100.

I will never understand how someone is gay can be a R.

I meant circumcised males.
