His election has communities of trans people and their allies fearful of widespread discrimination and a loss of health care access.

Polls show that more than 60 percent of Americans support protecting transgender people from discrimination. But they have also found that 55 percent believe support for trans rights has — quote — "gone too far."

We spoke with three Americans, a parent of a trans daughter, the executive director of a trans crisis hot line, and a two-spirit activist and parent to a two-spirit kid. That's a term used by indigenous people that acknowledges the diverse nature of gender and sexuality.

"Nobody’s rights are being threatened. Their special privileges , however......"

That is exactly it. They think because they have more "virtue", the privileges should continue. I so hate Dim/Socialist/Commies. They screw up EVERYTHING they touch.

Can someone tell me what rights I have that pretend boys and pretend girls don't have? And don't say accessing the bathroom of the opposite sex or playing in sports teams of the opposite sex.

YOU DON'T HAVE THAT RIGHT, EVER.

and a two-spirit activist and parent to a two-spirit kid.

Those spirits need to be cast out of both the parent and the kid.

What they’re demanding is the “right” to never be questioned. If Kamala had won, we might be headed quickly in that direction.

Rights are either applied to all equally, or they are benefits, and setbacks.

Chippendales are not dancing in libraries to audiences of children. Boys and men are not allowed to enter girls or womens locker rooms. Males cannot play female sports.

Men dressed as Victorian era hookers, dance for children in libraries. Pretend women (trannies” play female sports. Trannies galivant around women in locker rooms.

Yes, they do things that any sane hetero male would get arrested for. They are coddled, instead of being ashamed. That is on us, and especially on women. Any guys you know watch that Drag Queen show on TV? I bet a lot of women do.

They also want the right to criticize anyone else they don’t like (Like Christians) and nyet others cannot criticize them.

Anyone who doesn’t support them lockstep is a *hater* and *bigot* and any other pejorative you can think of.

So they want the right to freely speak their mind while denying others the same right.

Drag is to women what blackface is to blacks.

No woman dresses in real life like these so-called *drag queens* do when they’re out making a statement and trying to force acceptance, yes, even compliance with their perverted lifestyle.

Transgender: vaguely resembles a female, still has male hardware.

We spoke with three Americans, a parent of a trans daughter (a.k.a. an abuser), the executive director of a trans crisis hot line (WTH???), and a two-spirit activist and parent to a two-spirit kid (huh???). That's a term used by indigenous people that acknowledges the diverse nature of gender and sexuality.

I'm so glad to know that PBS is in safe hands, thanks to the American taxpayer. /sarc

Where in the Bill of Rights does it say demented creepy men that dress up in women’s dresses get to use the women’s restrooms?
