It’s always odd how on this specific issue, Democrats take the position that deep unfairness and unethical treatment is totally fine because just a few women and girls are receiving that treatment, but on all other issues, unfair and unethical treatment is wrong no matter how many people are on the receiving end of it.

It’s almost as if Democrats do not care about unfair and unethical treatment of women and girls, because when they are the victims, there is a threshold number that has to be impacted before Democrats consider their victimization worthy of notice.

I still haven’t figured out precisely how many women and girls have to be harmed before the Democrats deem it permissible to care about those harms.

I'm a reluctant Trump voter, not MAGA, but I did vote Trump this time. I do not support self-ID, trans women in women's spaces, or the way the left has swung too hard towards the extreme on trans issues. At the same time, I don't support what Nancy Mace is doing. It's possible to fight back against excesses without gleeful cruelty. Refraining from using words for a population that the group considers to be slurs on them isn't a lot to ask. Trans people are Americans too and they're entitled to liberty and the pursuit of happiness like all of us. A trans person should be able to go to work, pick up their kid from school, go grocery shopping, get medical care, get married, and live life without being afraid they'll be called names and shamed in the streets. That's not what this should be about.

Every social issue is a headache and heartache nowadays because both parties are extreme. Trump and Mace are going to take this backlash too far, but Dems aren't going to turn moderate either. Crappy choices all the time.

I agree with all of this. But as to the bolded, many, many women have said they consider cis, menstruator, etc to be slurs. That has not been respected at all. In fact, women who politely said they didn’t like those terms have been told to shut up and worse from trans rights advocates. Some got rape threats for that. I’m not defending Mace’s use of the slur, but I see very little reflection from trans rights advocates for their use of demeaning slurs.

I think there needs to be some accountability across the board here.

She’s not just some yahoo on twitter. She’s is a committee meeting that has rules of decorum. Fetterman can’t wear a sweatshirt, but she can use slurs? Give me a break.

This is why they are such a target. They are a very small marginalized community. The GOP legislation being passed primarily hurts children in school and even easier target. Children do not have a strong lobby group. Nancy Mace is picking an easy, vulnerable target to try to make herself look tough.

But they are pro life right.-good "christians" right .... they do not care about children in any way. The last two weeks prove it over and over again.

I'm the Trump voter who posted above about disagreeing with the use of slurs. Let's not get carried away about Democrats either. Chemically castrating children in service of a political ideology is as wrong as it gets.

Source or is this some FOX propaganda?

I understand feeling like both sides are extreme but a vote for trump was a vote for evil and cruelty. What you wrote is a contradiction. You voted for extreme MAGA the right side that has swung back into 1938. Are trans people really hurting you that much? Does someone putting pronouns on their email keep you up at night. Eyes wide open because what is happening now will get worse and hurt all of us deeply. You voted against human decency.

They shouldn’t be using public bathrooms that children may be in. It doesn’t matter if it’s a transgender man or a transgender woman because they will confuse children am either way. It’s grooming.
