The boiling frog sees nothing wrong with the current water temperature
Most of the time it has been me explaining how the thing people were panicking about were not actual immediate threats.

Same energy as "dating a trans woman is automatically queer"

Like, no, if im a woman dating a man its fucking not.

Also, if you make transgender into a meaningless category where misgendering is totally allowed, you're hurting the rest of the trans community by appropriating our label.

They said the same thing when the first trans healthcare bans came around

"Its just Tennessee" became "its just 32/50 states" within 4 years.
A handful of Dems, mostly either in deep red states or known to already be conservative, are taking bad positions on trans people - though still far better than their opponents.

The party as a whole has still stayed strongly supportive.

Literally not a democratic institution

And also I thought this was a liberal tears meme from a conservative

"women and trans women"

Lol
I think it the yughh factor as some people just can't get past a Revolution like I'm very pan I like women men and trans women but even I can't get past a dislike of trans males as it just doesn't work for me as I like Dick and it's absence on a man or trans woman I just get turned right off,

This guy was attacking Abdul for speaking with a podcaster with >3 million politically active, left leaning listeners
I want to stand with Trans-Americans.

But if the Trans community is going to attack Democrats...

But if the Trans community is going to chant Hamas slogans...

But certain Trans allies are going to lie about what Democrats have done...

WTF is happening here??

Okay but wait... The free press is...
Trump: Democrats are communists!”

We're literally never getting this

This bitch platformed a hate group during the height of the WNBA trans controversy and didnt even google them.

Meanwhile we are going on day 30 where her "journalistic integrity" is preventing her from posting about actual athletes effected.

Vile.

Yeah man its just that one thing. Just like it was just about water fountains. Famously it always stops at that one thing.

Ignore how that "one thing" is the legal precedence for treating trans people as not their legal sex and how that undermines every form of trans discrimination ever.

Lol

You will vote Democrat "no matter what". Even if they pledge transphobic policy

You will oppose Republicans no matter what.

Yet somehow a transphobic Democrat, who he supprts unconditionally, would be better than a transphobic Republican, who he opposes unconditionally...

Lol
While I support trans rights I am voting for Democrats no matter what. The choice is fascism or Democrats, that's it. You stand a better chance of convincing a Democrat to change their mind (Obama for example) than a fascist.

Or we can keep heading the direction we are now if that's what you want.

He can do that as attorney general

He cannot do that as senator

You are not making the harm reduction argument
September 13, 2026 at 5:15 PM
Nonbinary: transsexuals should lose their rights to play sports!

Transsexual female athlete: dude what the fuck???

Nonbinary: youve comitted the ultimate transgression calling me "dude". This matters infinitely more than your fundemental rights that I demand be taken away!! ME ME ME! IM THE CENTER
I have said repeatedly what I'm pissed about, and you keep ignoring that to get aggro with me. Is it unfair to call that rabid behavior? Mindless, empty-headed aggression immune to any outside influence?

And when they try to blackmail us by saying republicans would be worse, we see what trans people in the UK are going through. It's even worse than the US in many ways. So that blackmail isn't going to work. Our votes are our only leverage and with many races decided by a point or less, we matter.

Native American children were forcibly removed from their families and given to white settlers to lose their cultural identity.

This is a genocidal act. No camps. Explicitly listed in the UN declaration.

You people wish to force trans people to be cisgender. You do the same erasure.
Until Rowling even advocates for trans camps in Britain, let’s not use the word genocide. It dilutes the meaning and distracts from the actual genocides going on. Bigotry is what Rowling is doing and it sucks. She is not advocating for killing anybody. Wachowski is engaging in myopic naval gazing
September 11, 2026 at 7:14 PM
Why cant cis people live their lives under the conditions that they dont disadvantage trans people?

Selfishness should not be praised.
Maybe he believes that people born as males have an advantage over women athletes. He can still believe that trans people can live their lives the way they want as long as other people aren't disadvantaged. It's a position many people have. You will never get total capitulation on this issue.

If democrats put us trannies in the camps, everyone will celebrate, if republicans put is in the camps, everyone whose only thought is "orange man bad" will fight for us.

Its wild how many transphobes were created by people's inability to say that transsexuality exists.

But we created a society where your entire endocrine profile and musculature system isnt considered "biological". Lol
I think segregation by sex, in a few spaces, services and sports in society is critical for the purpose of safety, dignity, privacy and opportunity of women and girls.

Free speech - Tx criminalizes drag and education materials about lgbt people.
Title 9 - sport bans clearly violate them
Equal protection 5th right
Due process 14th right
Medical malpractice protection - Talerico supports legally mandated malpractice
Cruel and unusual punishment - obvious
Just what exactly _are_ these trans rights that everyone is so upset about? It'd help if we all were talking about the same specifics — sweeping generalizations aren't helpful.
September 10, 2026 at 8:55 PM
Nothing against this random person

But it is quite wild that your average American thinks trans kids in k-12 sports is like the frontier issue..

And not the whole criminalizing every aspect of daily life and sending trans people into a rape and detransition program in prison...
I just looked it up. Every state I’ve lived in ever (WI, IL, MI, CO) allows trans athletes to participate in sports. Because of this, I did not realize it’s banned in so many states. I was pretty involved in competitive swimming so I’m well aware of Riley Gaines and her stupid shit.
September 10, 2026 at 6:53 PM
"I support trans people, which is why im defending banning them from ordinary social development like playing sports with their friends"

With """allies""" like these omg
I try to respond if I am misinterpreted, but I can see there’s no point because this community decided I was an ignorant, bigoted piece of dogshit. I know I support the trans community and trans youth athletes. So I’m just going to continue being a kind person. Have a good day.
