[/quote]I do.  That's one of the ways I know PP needs to turn off MSNBC.  I mean, Dems are now supposed to pretend that we don't know what a woman is.  So it's ironic for someone to say that Republicans are trying to take away women's rights.[/quote]

People who care more about a manufactured LGBTQ issues than a woman’s right to control her own body probably aren’t D to start with. 
[/quote]Manufactured?  Biden is trying to change Title IX so that men who either believe they are women or who are pretending to be women can play girls' and women's sports, use their bathrooms and locker rooms, be sentenced to women's prison, use women's shelters.[/quote]

Yes, this is manufactured to spin people up. This is not an 80s sitcom, people do not get their birth certificate reissued or take expensive medication so they can pee in the stall next to you for nefarious purposes.

If you're worried about assault, let's talk about assault - there's little preventing a cis man from walking into a womens bathroom or locker room today, after all, so if that's a real worry then let's explore that instead of demonizing a tiny group of people who aren't hurting you. [/quote]There are laws and social contracts preventing men from entering women's reserved spaces.  If Title IX is changed so that a women is defined as anyone who says they're a woman, those protection disappear.  This is especially bad for womens' and girls' sports, women's prisons, abuse shelters, etc.  The fact that you deny this means you're either a misogynist or so woke you've lost your mind.[/quote]

What % of assaults are actually committed by cisgender men vs transgender women?

I’m not hearing any Rs complain about the huge number of assaults that are [u]actually[/u] happening by cisgender men. Only these fantasy assaults by transgender women.

If Rs cared so much about women then why do they want to protect rapists. Why aren’t they doing something about assaults?

If they cared about women’s sports then why aren’t they pushing for gender equity in sports?

This is not about protecting women for Republicans. It’s about hurting transgender people.

This does concern assaults being committed by cisgender men. Because of self ID, men who are sex offenders can simply say they are women and enter women only spaces. The problem is not with trans women but with men who are able to take advantage of this. Just google stories about convicted male sex offenders claiming they are trans women in order to be housed in women’s prisons. This actually caused a huge controversy in Scotland which contributed to Nicola Sturgeon’s downfall. Also is what prompted Keir Stamer to stand against self ID. These stories exist in the US as well but not covered by the US press. But self ID is dangerous and UK progressives, liberals and leftists have finally woken up to its dangers. [/quote]

More BS. If Rs were so “concerned” about violence in prison then why aren’t they already addressing the massive amounts of violence that already occurs.

It’s not about protecting women. It’s about hurting transgender people. 
[/quote]

Because those massive amounts of violence are in blue cities which have consistently voted blue for decades[/quote]
