The rule broadly targets ‘gender ideology’ in all entities that receive federal funds, including in academia, education, healthcare, governance, advocacy, discrimination protections, and more.

    Yeah. But hey, it was the only way to voice our opposition to genoside in Palestine.

    Still the right call. 100%. Sorry about the erasure.

    For the midterms there’ll be some more exciting reasons not to vote, as this whole thing has been a huge success for right-wing nutjobs.

        They’re perfectly able. They are unwilling to field a good candidate. Because their donors are far more important to them than their voters.

      I am trans. Keep our name off your filthy lips. Do not use our name to justify genocide. Something tells me you don’t give a rat’s ass about trans rights. You’re just using our name to score cheap political points.

      The exact same Democrats who supported genocide are the ones now voicing “honest concerns” about right-wing panics like trans women in sports. Kamala never supported trans rights. She promised to simply enforce the law, no matter how discriminatory it might be.

      You’re talking about the exact same people. It turns out genocide support is a pretty damn good measure of someone’s moral compass. If you’re willing to literally support genocide, then backing discrimination against a demonized minority group is trivial. If you’ve already sold your soul to support literal genocide, discrimination against minority groups is minor by comparison. Once someone has already committed murder, theft is an afterthought.

      This is a moral issue. If a politician supports genocide, all their other policy positions are irrelevant. Because you know you’re dealing with someone that fundamentally lacks a conscience. And if you have no conscience, you’ll have no qualms about going back on any promise or using your position to enrich yourself.

      The word of a genocide supporter is shit. Hell, lower than shit. At least shit has some value as fertilizer.

      Don’t you dare use trans people to justify genocide. Trans people are probably the single biggest supporters of Palestinian rights in this country, second only to actual ethnic Palestinians living in the US.

        Harris didn’t “support genocide”, and now everyone is fucked because of this idiot “position”.

        Kamala never supported trans rights. She promised to simply enforce the law, no matter how discriminatory it might be.

        So you didn’t vote for her and now what do you have? She promised to respect states’ laws? Damn that’s cold. No wonder you supported trump.

        Don’t you dare use trans people to justify genocide.

        You either! What the fuck do you think you got? Less genocide? How moral is that?

        Keep our name off your filthy lips.

        I never once said “shit for brains”.

          Look at the UK to see how quickly a party like the Democrats can turn on trans rights if you don’t keep them on a short leash.

          Maybe instead of just using us as a prop, maybe you should listen to trans people instead of trying your savior routine. Minorities know how to fight for their rights better than you do.
