Well if democrats cared about women this issue would only take 5 minutes. But obviously democrats don't.Certainly the issue I want Congress to be worried about.

seems like some bullshit that doesn't require government intervention to me
The issue is, that this isn't an issue. Its a culture war. I personally don't think trans women who transitioned after puberty should be allowed to compete in womens leagues. But if you actually cared about doing that you'd have to not make it illegal for minors to transition. So you'd be doing what then? Creating a new, separate but equal league? Sure sounds familiar. It all sounds like a mess and Im just not down for participating in the whole discussion honestly. Especially with bigots who don't even respect trans peoples existence.Agree. The civil rights and equality of individuals in this country is not a concern of government. LOL
How fun it must be to be able to take any side of every issue depending on how it impacts your sensibilities.
Meanwhile Republicans across the country are forcing teenage girls to have their rapist’s baby. But yeah, dems hate women because of swimming competitions.

Conservatives love this stuff because it allows them to ignore real issues going on, like the debt ceiling that they are playing around with like a kid with a nuke.
The debt ceiling will be raised and our check to Ukraine will not bounce so calm down.The issue is, that this isn't an issue. Its a culture war.

Never seen a video like this made by a proud boy?oh look you have pissed off one of our resident pedo supporting trans people now....
Yah well you wrote a book. I read to where you said there's an unnatural rise in transgenerism. You made that up. There's an increase in people understanding and accepting trans issues. So yes more people feel more comfortable seeking their happiness. Something which shows our society is making progress.There's a lot here so without writing a book, I'll try to agree and disagree with you.
Yes, there is a culture war going on. The culture war is important but there are a great number of very trivial things being brought up and pushed by both sides in this matter. So much so it is hard to know what to take seriously and of course, there's the reality that a lot of very unappealing personalities get into the middle of this.
As for the whole trans issue, it's a very complex one. It's a matter of fact there are people born who have both sex organs. It's a matter of fact that people are born with all kinds of conditions that are not average but are undeniably real. It's also a matter of fact that over our history, humans have demonstrated a very distressing intolerance toward those things that we deem not normal. It's through that lens I would conceded skepticism is warranted every step of the way through this.
To the contrary, it's also a matter of fact that we've seen an unnatural and monumental rise in transgenderism. It's at least worth investigating what aspects of this are a social contagion because that's absolutely something that has happened too. It is also a matter of fact that biological men have a commanding advantage in most athletic endeavors over biological women. Thus introducing biological men to women's sports is not a good idea and while you may not care a great deal, it is going to undo the enormous amount of work that's been done to bring women's sports into the mainstream of interest. It's also a fact that a lot of the people competing in women's activities that are biological men are doing great harm to the image of these activities and it's just not something we should be doing.
Lastly, the idea that we should be transitioning minors is at best morally and medically dubious. There are places on Earth that have been doing it longer than we have and they are taking great strides backward from those efforts. It is again, a fact, that there is a lot of development of the mind and personality that occurs in people long after they are minors. Considering the enormity of this kind of choice, we should proceed with as much caution as possible. There are efforts all over the country on the left that deny parents knowledge and consent in these matters. I have heard Democratic officials give tremendous weight to minors with this decision and then say "they're kids" on the next depending on what we're talking about. That demonstrates that everyone knows that kids need guidance and time to grow up and into themselves. It's a challenging time of life that we should help provide clarity to rather than more confusion.
As for your comment about the debt ceiling, I am all for pressing as much as possible to get some sanity restored to our spending. We are bankrupting our children to say nothing of ourselves. We must have a serious discussion about the role of government and start getting things under control. Whether it be over the budget or this matter, it needs to be talked about. The interesting thing about this is that the left always says Republicans are holding this up because they won't do what we want to do 100% on every matter. When is it to ever be expected that we might see compromise from both sides and recognition there is a problem? It doesn't happen often if ever any more.

Those who refer to them as groomers or make up things to be freaked out over and turn these people into boogiemen... they represent the blowback of that progress. Simple as that. Bigots would refer to transgender as unnatural. What they mean to say is they are uncomfortable with the issue and scared.

The term unnatural is what's bigoted you can say it's a focal point on the data. It's easy to explain for as I did. You are calling it an abnormality. That's pure bigotry. Trans people have been around forever you being ignorant on the matter isn't their fault.Based on all available historical data on humans and human conditions, there is an unnatural rise in transgenderism. That's not an item up for debate. There is NO abnormality of ANY kind that is present in 20+% of humans. Not one... ever in all of history. Stating that isn't bigoted or anything else. People use those terms to shut conversation down when they know they don't have any answers.
Cant say I have. But I have seen leftist terrorist attack schools and murder little kids due to their heterophobic and Christophobic bigotry against people to the right of them.Never seen a video like this made by a proud boy?

Transgender are unnatural. If that makes me a Bigot I’ll wear the label loud and proud.Yah well you wrote a book. I read to where you said there's an unnatural rise in transgenerism.

The estimated percentage of LGBT individuals has doubled in the last 11 years. That is absolutely NOT just an "increase in understanding."Yah well you wrote a book.

How fun it must be to be able to take any side of every issue depending on how it impacts your sensibilities.
At the risk of wallowing in the mud, what are you even talking about 20% rate? Why are you stating that number? How does it relate to trans people and your arguments? Im not arguing for anything except acceptance. CITE THE 20%, article, study etc. You gotta realize no one has context to what you are saying.Lol. You're creating objection where facts are. It seems quite apparent I am far more informed than you are on this matter. Unnatural is a word. It is not bigoted. The word is in reference to a rise that is not within norms. Therefore it is unnatural in terms of the rise with respect to statistics. Has nothing to do with the state of being. You're trying to find something that isn't there because you seem to understand this is an argument you won't win without hurling around derogatory terms to cover your lack of understanding of what's going on in our country right now.
Yes, trans people have been around forever. They will be around forever and I have no interest in taking away any of their rights....ever! It's not my place to decide. Male and female were made as the normal order of things. That doesn't take away from the sacred worth of anyone who does things differently. You're in denial of reality if you see otherwise because that's just the science of the matter. I thought that was what folks like you cared about.
I'd advise you look up the word bigotry and read about it to gain an understanding of what it is. Stating facts isn't bigotry. And again, there's nothing that is different in nature that occurs at a 20% rate... Nothing!
You don't, uhhhh, see the irony in this post? Like, for real, yo don't see it?

The libtards are the one's trying to spend into oblivion regardless of the consequences.

Just in case anyone hasn't shared, I think it's important to note that this is totally unhinged.
Your political opposition isn't the "enemy of the people". They disagree with you on policy, but they aren't trying to destroy your life or this country.
Stop being insane.
You're not but there are fringes on both sides that would if they continue to grow in power. This extremism must be stopped at all costs.
Oh look at bigot announces their arrival to the thread. Good thing our country allows you to have those terrible views however I'm not going to let you legislate them into law.The libtards are the one's trying to spend into oblivion regardless of the consequences.

But Dems want to kill the baby as well as let minors be talked into having body altering by surgury without parental consent because a dem activist is convinced they are not the right sex.Meanwhile Republicans across the country are forcing teenage girls to have their rapist’s baby.

Lol I seriously doubt many sex reassignment surgeries happen for minors world wide. You don't have any numbers to cite do you?But Dems want to kill the baby as well as let minors be talked into having body altering by surgury without parental consent because a dem activist is convinced they are not the right sex.
XX = Girl
XY = Boy
It's science.

Usually this is a private decision with doctors and such. So you actually think there are just 'activists' walking around recruiting kids for sex reassignment? If so cite why. I think you guys love a boogeyman and are easily riled up over nothing.
So your outrage hinges on how people self report themselves? Guys.... grow up. I dated a girl who called herself bi sexual just because she thought some women were hot. But when pressed to actually...yah know. She wasn't. So you all are getting all worked because young people use terms that scare you in a completely unscientific study. Weren't you just going off on a tangent about NEVER BEFORE IN HISTORY.. ITS SCIENTIFIC NOT BIGOTRY. yah it's just your bigotry. Read the ****ing article not the headline. Social media got another oneI was off a little in my numbers. Here's an article about it. It's a higher rise than I stated. And in the younger group, in excess of 20% of all people believe they are LGBTQ and that's so outside any numbers we have ever seen by a huge factor.

How Many Adults and Youth Identify as Transgender in the United States?
williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu
About 5% of young adults in the U.S. say their gender is different from their sex assigned at birth
1.6% of U.S. adults are transgender or nonbinary. Also, a rising share of Americans say they know someone who is transgender.www.pewresearch.org
I have compassion for transgender individuals. It saddens me to see people whose identity is not based in reality as I can't imagine the confliction that they have inside. I view it though, much the way gender dysphoria used to be viewed, as a medical condition of the mind. I don't think affirming that someone is something that they are not is helping them in the long run. In the back of their minds, they know that they are not truly a man/woman/whatever they may identify as. That will never go away no matter what is done to the human body. You can make yourself a woman with a manufactured penis or a man with breasts and a crude hole where your penis once was, but that person can only ever amount to a TRANS-man/woman. Some things are just not possible to change. It is not the responsible or the compassionate thing to do, in my opinion, to continue to enable people to carry on life imagining that they are something that they will never truly be.
