We are not yet three weeks into 2021, President-elect Joe Biden has yet to be inaugurated and already powerful forces on the right have made clear what will be the next front in their so-called culture war.
This time, they’ve chosen transgender youth as their target, seeking to capitalize on insidious stereotypes about trans people, preposterous pseudoscience and a divisive cadre of supposed women’s rights campaigners who believe the only way to achieve gender equality is to oppress other people.
These efforts to attack trans young people are driven by the same fundamental goals as previous attempts to restrict all transgender people from using public restrooms: to exclude transgender youth from participating in public and educational life alongside their peers and to perpetuate the myth that transness is itself harmful and should be eradicated.
But the reality that these lawmakers and other anti-trans forces will eventually have to face is that when transgender young people are able to access health care, play sports, go to the restroom without fear and use pronouns that affirm who they are, nothing bad happens to anyone. Trans children are more able to live full, self-actualized lives. Cisgender people are not excluded from athletics or the restroom or anywhere else (and maybe they learn about the beauty and complexity of their fellow human beings even if it has escaped some of their parents).
Ultimately, all that happens when we allow transgender people to live their lives freely and fully is that we get to celebrate more transgender people doing incredible things in the world, we expose the pseudoscience and stereotypes animating these bills for what they are and the people who are pushing these efforts are forced to contend with the limited vision they have for the world.

Now there’s a leader if I ever saw one. Which toilet do you think he will use?
Professional CONservatives will lose this spat too. Just as they have lost every political fight they have bothered with since the demise of Goldwater & Buckley.
Home School.
Read this and stopped. They certainly aren’t “following the science”!on this one, eh? (XX vsXY)
“This time, they’ve chosen transgender youth as their target, seeking to capitalize on insidious stereotypes about trans people, preposterous pseudoscience and a divisive cadre of supposed women’s rights campaigners who believe the only way to achieve gender equality is to oppress other people.”
What a great battlefield for the GOP to choose!
Goldwater crossed my mind earlier this week. He was about as popular as Trump, with the “in” crowd. And they really put it to him, too.
This is crazy talk from a mentally ill woman. Genuine conservatives don’t want mentally ill men in their daughters bathrooms. Don’t put their insanity on us.
Look just have trans athletes have their own competitions problem solved transwomen will never lose to natural women it’s just scientifically impossible
Yes, Buckley lost his cutting edge at the end also. From then until now, the conservative movement has been useless.
Yes, because the Scientific Community achieved unanimity - or at least: consensus - well, some of them agreed - on this topic literally months ago!
But the reality that these lawmakers and other anti-trans forces will eventually have to face is that when transgender young people are able to access health care, play sports, go to the restroom without fear and use pronouns that affirm who they are, nothing bad happens to anyone.
A) To obtain super-expensive sex-change operations on the taxpayer's dime.
B) Meaning that normal teenage girls will be permanently sidelined.
C) Yeah, go to the restroom and molest your 5-year-old daughter.

Is he friends with Pierre Delecto?

Before Hitler came to power, the German liberals pushed all sorts of radical ideas to destroy the country’s culture. Then, after chaos ran amok, they promised to restore ‘the old values’ and eliminate the freaks. The desperate mobs ran to them.
A plan that worked well then and seems to be repeating itself today.
This person appears to think that lopping off children’s genitals is “life saving”. The left is so weird.
NBC is too late. Whether they know it or not (and I think they do), the Left started this war years ago...
And it contradicts itself over a few paragraphs:
“even though the puberty-suppression treatments that would be banned by the bills have no permanent long-term physical effects.”
“in fact, through pubertal suppression, may in adulthood have the option to have fewer and less invasive surgical interventions than may have otherwise been necessary for some individuals.”
Which is it?
Who’s culture war? It’s the Left’s culture war. Conservatives are just trying to beat them back.
Give it five years and all the conservatives will be weeping and gnashing their teeth over the “precious stories” of these freakshows.
I am sick to death of defending perpetual losers. Can’t we get our heads together to recognize that western civilization is dead and the people that killed it will never like us???
