I personally don't care, except for two observations:

1.) trans people, as with anyone else using medical alterations such as steroids, should not be allowed into competitive sports

2.) public bathrooms, showers, and changing rooms should have separate stalls, locking floor to ceiling doors for privacy in the first place regardless of it's all women or not.

How much will it cost schools to implement this? Wouldn't that money be better spent on education?

The GOP hates education. They prefer to funnel money to churches and private equity via charters and private schools. And they attack teachers unions and push for wasting money on stupid crap like making all school windows bulletproof to withstand war guns. Cause that’s affordable and a sane use of money.

Recessions come and go. Abortion is a lifetime.

Republicans got what they wanted with RvW. Now they're losing. Everywhere.

Abortion matters less if your worried about whether or not you'll have a job in 6 months or if you're watching your nest egg shrink every quarter

Abortion is an economic issue. There is no more important kitchen table discussion than when or whether to have a child or more children.

You can argue all you want but abortion is THE ISSUE. Republicans didn't have to go there, but they did. Now they'll see the results.

Rs are leaning hard into trans issues. I believe they think that’s a winning issue for them. The problem with that narrative is the a lot of the legal issues around trans discrimination is because the feds need to move into alignment with the Bostock and Grimm court decisions. They can thank Justice Gorsuch for the Bostock decision. The right wing is telling them that it’s liberals pushing these things, without ever mentioning that they have no other choice.

"Both the unemployment rate, at 3.5 percent, and the number of unemployed persons, at 5.8 million, changed little in March. These measures have shown little net movement since early 2022. "

Bostock is about employment discrimination and Grimm was never heard. The Supreme Court has yet to be faced with having to decide if a trans woman is a woman. At some point a title ix case will probably make it's way up and force them to make that decision. I would not count on this court saying that a transwoman is a woman for scholarship allocation purposes

I personally don't care, except for two observations:

1.) trans people, as with anyone else using medical alterations such as steroids, should not be allowed into competitive sports

2.) public bathrooms, showers, and changing rooms should have separate stalls, locking floor to ceiling doors for privacy in the first place regardless of it's all women or not.

Exactly this. When people say “why the focus on such a small minority” then turnaround and glibly say we should spend billions of dollars on infrastructure for this teeny tiny group of people.
That’s why. The LGB group didn’t make demands of infrastructure, pronouns, giving up Title IX. But trans? That’s why there is huge blowback

Do it. Run a rabid anti abortion candidate GOP. You will see if abortion is the issue.

No one group caused the death spiral of public education than democrats that refused to open schools during the pandemic. Don’t ever forget that, because most parents never will.

More like .00001%

And it is the GOP who are totally obsessed with it.

Especially when it is GOP controlled businesses reaping record profits from jacking up prices, when the GOP House refuses to move on the debt limit, etc...

Some people are blowing the recession horn, but they seem oblivious to the fact that the economy slowing is the only way to make any headway on inflation. There was a housing crisis for the middle and working classes. There will have to a dip in the housing market to make housing affordable for most of us. Rich people and those who already own a home have been mostly insulated from this.

My FCPS students were attending pretend school long after their cousins in both red and blue states were back in the classroom. I blame the democrats on our school board and the democrats at the state level who let them get away with it. For anyone saying that it isn't an issue

You know what creates poverty? Children that someone didn’t want and can’t afford. And it just grows from there. Abortion is THE economic issue and I cannot believe how stupid so many men are about this.

Do you know what else creates poverty? Unemployment

Then it is a good thing the democrats, once again, have brought the country back from the GOP infused economic abyss.
