That's cool, but not really relevant.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) are demanding swift action to protect transgender migrants attempting to enter the United States. In an eight-page letter to Trump administration officials, the senators implore the administration to reverse immigration policies they consider harmful to transgender migrants and other vulnerable populations. The policies they want reversed? All of them! The populations they consider vulnerable? All of them!
"We write to express alarm over reports detailing the abuse and neglect of trans gender migrants and asylum seekers at the border and in U.S. custody," the letter states. "We ask you to immediately reverse policies that harm these vulnerable individuals and take swift action to protect the health and safety of transgender migrants." The senators then call for "alternatives to detention, including release from detention on recognizance, parole, and community-based alternatives to incarceration."
Recognizance is codeword for "catch and release," the losing bargain immigration authorities make when they release migrants, who promise to appear at their immigration hearings but frequently fail to show up . And what "community-based alternatives to incarceration" might the senators have in mind? My guess is the community-based policy known as a sanctuary city, which is where local officials jeopardize the public's safety by refusing to cooperate with federal authorities.
And I thought trans people were being murdered in the United States? At least that's what the trans activist who stole the microphone at CNN's "Equality Town Hall" kept shouting. Now, according to trans experts Sen. Warren and Sen. Baldwin, the safest place for trans people everywhere is the United States of America.
But not in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), of course. The letter takes ICE to task for failing to adequately protect trans individuals in their detention facilities. "Reports describe horrendous conditions in immigration detention that effectively punish people for their gender identity and gender expression," the letter states. For the senators, ICE's most important job is to make sure the migrants can express their gender identities when trying to immigrate to the United States.
The senators also have a problem with the Trump administration's "Remain in Mexico policy," requiring asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their asylum requests are being processed. "There has been ample documentation of the violence and harassment of transgender individuals in Mexico, often at the hands of state actors."
The letter then gives an example of a transgender woman whose finger was cut off by a cartel member in Mexico, which is pretty lucky considering the cartel is known for cutting off people's heads.
We didn’t. Other, better people did.
As I understand it, and I could be wrong, only if they are dead...
In all seriousness, is anyone disqualified for voting an that basis? I haven’t heard of it. If they can get registered, I guess it’s full steam ahead.
I’m certainly not an expert on it.
...and that’s even though I’ve registered in my mental state.
Smile...
One would hope...
I’d say GFYS to them both, only with transgender operations, they might just do that.
Yoohoo! Emma Lazarus? About that poem, we’re gonna need some re-writes.
Great not bad enough we have to offer special privileges to the alphabet soup of sexual confusion, but have to import them from other countries.
There is no greater issue, no greater cause, no more important yardstick in our time by which history will judge is than the issue of liberty and justice for migrant dudes with tits.
That's cool, but not really relevant.
Finger?
Vertically challenged tripodic off-worlders!
I have nothing to worry. All Liawatha protects us. I’m 1024%
And just like that 30% of the population of Guatemala became transgender.

Warren reminds us what fascism really looks like. She lives to rein roughshod right over the rights of American citizens to control their own country and protect themselves.
That woman is devoid of certain emotions and lies a whole lot. Sort of an odd flat affect. What the heck makes her tick?
“Trans” migrants are mentally ill and should be deported immediately for that reason.
We have enough Crazy here. We don’t need it from other countries, too.
