Lesbians are women.

That doesn't make it OK for them to look at other women or expose themselves.

Well, they don’t, because they are women and therefore do not have the assault and harassment patterns of men.

We aren't talking about men here so irrelevant...

And have you seen the TERFs on here? They are very aggressive. No way would I want to be in the locker room with one of them.

I would be willing to bet my entire lifetime savings that the advocates for sex-based rights here — I won’t use your misogynist slur — do not have a fraction of the rates of sexual crime convictions that transwomen as a group have.

But if you believe otherwise, show the data. Show us the studies that prove that advocates for sex-based rights have sexual crime conviction rates that far outstrip those of transwomen. We will wait.

That's cute. TERFs don't GAF about women's rights. They just want to hurt transgender women.

Again, the TERFs on here are insane and aggressive AF. No way would I want to be alone in the locker room with one.

So no numbers. Of course. Because you know just how bad the sex crime numbers for transwomen as a group are.

Funny how TERFs are perfectly fine with transwomen being VICTIMS of sex crimes.

Why are you so irrational fearful of penises?

Keep it up the great work anti-TERF crusading or whatever. https://www.city-journal.org/article/national-security-agency-internal-chatroom-transgender-surgeries-polyamory

Were you assaulted? Is that the real issue here?

The argument that transwomen need access to women’s spaces because of victimization from men, as well as the obvious insanity of the bolded, are not winning arguments for Democrats. But keep running with that line. Keep at it, Democrats! You are handing Trump a gift.

It is absolutely insane that the one time the feckless Democrats get themselves together to stand up to Trump, they do it on an issue where they have lost nearly the entire country. Kind of amazing, actually.

We like trans rights, including the right for people born male to compete in women's sports. We like this for four reasons:
1) It marks us as special, as high class. Again, less affluent Dems aren't as into this stuff as we are.
2) It's a great way to punish right wingers, religious types, soccer moms from red states and red suburbs/exurbs
3) It's a great way to drive Republicans crazy and make them say homophobic and transphobic things. It helps us cement our ownership of LGBTQIA+ voters.
4) For the really senior insiders among us, the ones who are happy enough working with powerful Republicans toward shared goals, issues like this help keep the public's attention off bigger issues

"struggling single gals"?

Sit down, boomer.

LOL. I wrote this post, and I'm no boomer! I do look at actual voter breakdowns instead of just "feeling" that my political party consists of mostly impressive fancy people like dcurbanmoms.

And the facts are:
a) the group with the highest propensity, by far, to vote for our party is unmarried women
b) unmarried women have lower incomes on average than married people or unmarried men
Yes, around here we have plenty of affluent single girlbosses. But nationwide most unmarried women are not that affluent.

These "struggling single gals" are a key part of our base. Single gals vote 70% Dem. And the poorer they are the MORE they vote Dem. The only other demographic we do that well in is African-Americans.

One of the reasons the richest Democrats are supportive of men in women's sports is because we are clueless about how the rest of our party really feels. The average Democrat is WAY less supportive of "trans folks" on the girls swim team than people around here are.

"single girlbosses"?

You are a misogynist POS, boomer wannabe. Sit TF down.

Simmer down, tone police. We're trying to win elections here, not make you feel powerful shouting down message board posts! Sheesh! I am not a misogynist. I am calmly explaining that transwomen in girls' sports is not a popular issue for most Democrats. And I am further calmly explaining that single women are an important part of our base, and many of them are less affluent and less political than the dcurbanmoms crowd. If you disagree with any of that, have at it, but objecting to phrases like "struggling single gals" and "girlbosses" is ridiculous. Those are phrases we Democrats proudly coined, and they describe important parts of our voting coalition. Less-affluent abortion activists and more affluent kickass career women are both great and important groups for us. And if MAGA types don't like girlbosses, that's their problem, I'm not letting them own the term.

Your censoriousness is one of the reasons we're losing these days. Swing voters don't like seeing "tolerant progressives" raging out on each other. And we can't think clearly or plan well when we're yelling at each other for every turn of phrase. In very real statistical ways, Democrats are to some extent a party of women and Republicans are a party of men. We need to campaign accordingly if we want to win. When people on here are saying our best hope for the future lies in men like JB Pritzker, Pete Buttigieg, and Mark Kelly, we're obviously a very confused party.

You are an out-of-touch, misogynist POS.

We are losing because there are millions of idiots who believe the RWNJ propaganda that you continue to push.

You don't want to be called a misogynist or bigot? Then stop acting like one.

Sit down and STFU.

You sound rational. 😂

YOU sound like you're working for Trump. Go start a new party for bigots. GTFO.

There's nothing bigoted about protecting girls sports from unfair competition from biological males or former biological males. 90% of Americans want girls sports protected. By your standards, both existing parties are parties for bigots, and trans activists and their supporters are the only "good" Americans left. Maybe you should start a new party, the trans purity party. Girls bathrooms, locker rooms, and sporting fields are for anyone who wants them, no matter how thickly muscled and mustachioed.

Bigots are the people who are constantly pushing this fake issue 24x7. How many times have you posted about it this week? And it's only Monday...

GTFO, bigot trash. Go join the Republicans - you're already doing the work for them.

Actually, YOU are doing the Republicans work for them. People screaming about how important it is for “people with penises” to have access to women’s spaces make Democrats look bad. Your special issue hurts Democrats and helps Republicans.

You seem crazy. Nothing, literally nothing I have said is right wing propaganda. I’m stating facts about demographic voter breakdowns and the national unpopularity of the transwomen in girls’ sports issue. You have access to these same facts, and in fact there ARE NO counter-facts. Everyone who bothers to look at the numbers agrees with these neutral facts. No-one is out there claiming that most Americans want transwomen in girls sports. No-one is out there claiming that unmarried women don’t tend to vote Democrat or that married men don’t tend to vite Republican. You’re screaming STFU because you don’t LIKE the facts, not because there are any others. We can’t win without being honest about who votes how, and why. Screaming to silence facts is destructive.

Posting about transgender athletes 24x7 is RWNJ propaganda. The polling is just like voting -- influenced by propaganda.

No one wants your bigoted political advice. THAT is what I don't like.

Pervs of all genders who are exposing themselves to kids should be prosecuted. That is 100% unrelated to transgender athletes but of course POS bigots are going to conflate them.

The argument that transwomen need access to women’s spaces because of victimization from men, as well as the obvious insanity of the bolded, are not winning arguments for Democrats. But keep running with that line. Keep at it, Democrats! You are handing Trump a gift.

It is absolutely insane that the one time the feckless Democrats get themselves together to stand up to Trump, they do it on an issue where they have lost nearly the entire country. Kind of amazing, actually.

Trans rights is like LGBTQ or equal rights among racial groups for Dems. It's not just trans rights, it's all human rights. Maybe the question should be why are Republicans so obsessed with disenfranchising a group of people who make up less than 1% of the population? Is this a bully thing? They see a vulnerable group and they go for the jugular to make themselves feel big?

He asked Mills, who attended Friday’s event, whether she would direct her state to follow the order.

“I’m complying with state and federal law,” Mills responded.

“We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get federal funding,” said Trump.

“See you in court,” Mills said.

“Good, I’ll see you in court, I look forward to that. That should be a real easy one.”

“Enjoy your life after governor,” Trump added, “because I don’t think you’ll be in elected politics.”

Here’s the video clip of the exchange.

Don't fck with Maine.
