MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Thousands of people rallied across the country Friday as part of a Transgender Day of Visibility in support of the rights of transgender people and their resilience amid what many denounced as an increasingly hostile environment.
Supporters converged on statehouses nationwide, at the Capitol Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., and were planned as far away as Mexico City to mark a day of international unity first proclaimed more than a decade ago.
Chanting, “We’re here, we’re queer, get used to it!” many at the statehouse in Montpelier, Vermont, draped themselves in pride flags or carried posters with messages like “yay gay” or “protect trans kids.”
Transgender youth stood in front of the Vermont crowd and spoke movingly of the lack of support for their gender identity and sexuality.
Charlie Draughn, a 17-year-old high school senior from Chisago City, Minnesota, who attends a boarding school in Vermont, said he was angry that groups are trying to control his life and turn him into a political pawn.
“My life is not your debate,” Draughn said. “It is not a political issue. I am not hurting anyone and I am certainly not hurting myself.”
The rallies came as Republican lawmakers nationwide have pursued hundreds of proposals this year to push back on LGBTQ+ rights, particularly those of transgender residents, including banning transgender girls from girls’ sports, keeping transgender people from using restrooms in line with their gender identities and requiring schools to deadname transgender students — mandating they be identified by names they were given at birth.

Another total load of BS from AP.
What is this increasingly hostile environment? Nobody is hassling them. Most people don't care. But when they want to impose their agenda in schools and on normal - yes normal! - people's children, we fight back.
Well, it appears that it offends the sensibilities of all these trans people, that there was any reaction to one of their committing a massacre.
The fact that this so-called trans person committed the massacre, May well have been due to problems at this trans person had, with her gender identity and hormones she was getting Etc. But we aren’t supposed to talk about that.
Instead we’re supposed to stress out about how offended people are that anyone would talk about the fact that the shooter was trans.
And we are supposed to be offended that the news media in many reports gave conflicting accounts as to the sex of the shooter. We were supposed to be offended that many reports indicated this person was female even though this person identified as male.
All of that is much more important than the fact that six innocent people were killed.
“My life is not your debate,” Draughn said. “It is not a political issue. I am not hurting anyone and I am certainly not hurting myself.”
Charlie, you are not even legally an adult, so f*** off.
These people don’t mind lying to everyone, they already have lied to themselves
I bet that goes over real well in Mexico City.
They hate us because they think our existence and disapproval convicts them.
They do not realize that the Holy Spirit convicts and gives them the knowledge of their sins.
When every Christian is taken up the conviction will remain without hope of redemption.
They wanted hostile and sane people are quite ready to make their wish come true. However, let us all remember that we must treat the MENTALLY ILL in a gentile manner. Giving them the extended middle finger is a socially accepted manner of letting them know of our intended gentility.
if I organized a Hetero Pride Meet and Dance
I wonder what kind of hatred, Labels, and negative press would I get?
If I took a page from the liberal Social/News Media Industrial complex I obviously would hire some actors
They would have to be from the best so probably both “Dr Di-View LLC” or “Cry-Ack-ting” but also some off duty cops and their favorite strippers.
“Spring Into Love” + “Fun 4 All”
1/2 The nerve. The gall. Christians are slaughtered and even before this attempted stunt by some in Congress, the media was attempting to change the narrative (right after kids were slaughtered):to how everyone insread shoukd talk about how badly trans are treated in America. They couldn’t even shed a tear before deflecting to something else?
Some time back, liberals started out by saying people must never make the claim that some trans will claim to be transgender in order to gain access to women in prisons to be able to rape them or to get away from being beaten up by men in male prisons.
But these advocates did something very similar when they claimed the Colorado shooter, who said he was non-binary, was just saying that to get a lighter sentence.
They exposed themselves on that.
Then in the last few days they used astroturf protests to try and shift the narrative to gun control but several on Twitter pointed out what they labeled as #transurrections at courthouses. Talk about irony. Many of them at these courthouses were out of control while simultaneously screaming for gun control. Lack of self-awareness?
And now Merrick Garland pulls this stunt:
And in the midst of a slaughtering of Christians by a trans they reintroduce this bill along with what seems to be them saying that they’re the victims, not anyone else.
2/2 Critical Gender Theory (i.e., transgenderism), Critical Race Theory, and other iterations trace back to Critical Theory.
Critical Theory traces back to the Frankfurt School in Germany of Horkheimer and others who were essentially Weimar Republic, communist academic agitators; as well, the first “trans” surgery took place during that time period in Germany.
I think according to the Bible they still have a chance at redemption during the 7-year Tribulation, if you believe in the pre-Trib Rapture, but it won't be a fun time, especially the second three and half years.
Also, don't forget that the Lord knows everyone's secret story. And we don't.
Wasn’t trying to get out into the weeds. Just explain their misery.
Satan’s agents of Death on parade

#ing White Hut, MSM deception — painting the Trans Aggressors as peaceful, while at other times painting the peaceful as aggressors.
GTH, MSM
“They hate us because they think our existence and disapproval convicts them.”
More like a severe lack of core values heading into reprobate mind territory.
The hour is very, very late
There’s no telling how Almighty God is going to react to this abomination

27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord:
28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
