Why is the focus always on blaming other people for problems instead of fixing the problems?

Trans people this. Gay people that. Brown people. Immigrants. It’s somebody else’s fault. We’re doing it right, but those other people are ruining everything.

If it smells everywhere you go, it’s time to look under your own shoe. No plans. No policy. The party of hurting Americans.

It's so nice having my rights be shat on on such a high profile stage. They really can't handle that trans people exist and have always existed, and they might even find some of us attractive.

I also really appreciate the article talking about the bullshit myth that trans athletes have some kind of advantage in sports. I don't usually see that.

They're such losers... don't they have something positive they could do for their constituents? I've never heard of these people actually doing something to help their voters. It's just attacks.

A quick note on this thread:

The transphobic comments are getting out of hand. Lots of reports and lots of removals.

Now here's the thing...

The #1 thing I hated about fucking reddit were the mods who would go "we're locking this thread because it's too much trouble to moderate it."

My opinion then, and now, is "Oh, your volunteer gig is too hard? Go do something else then!"

So, no, I'm not locking the thread. At the same time, I'd advise against mocking the trans community.

I get it, back in the day, I thought all the "Dann Coulter" jokes were funny too. And assholes like Coulter and MTG deserve to have their own hate reflected back on them.

But when you do that with trans issues, you're making those issues a weapon and saying they're a weapon because of the negative connotations and that's just not cool.

"...because Donald Trump is the leader America deserves.”

unironically, this hateful village idiot may be right.

gonna sign off for a while. I just cant stomach looking at the festering, gangrenous wound these people have opened up when I know it will destroy the lives of so many I care about.

So, those of you not voting for Biden because "reasons," thanks for condemning to death the LGBTQ+ community. And don't tell me that is hyperbole.

She's so pathetic. Her little giggles between sentences were just.. wow. She just loves getting praised

Vote every single transphobe out

Republican states are the worst states to live in, and instead of trying to improve their life and get nice things, they resort to attacking people for their problems. They want to remove and tear down agencies, the balances of power, and other programs and regulations because they are not happy with their own state governance. Instead of reflecting on their own cooked ideas, they are violent, hateful, and destructive, and don't realize without the nice things that took a long time to implement, they would have a dystopian hellscape. They would rather blame anyone other than themselves. And no strong leader figure promising a paradise is going to give you the solution, he's just Hitler, and history remembers how that turned out.

Why do they care so much? Like really, who gives a shit. A human is a human. These people are just assholes.

“If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?”

Party of blind hatred spews blind hatred, more at 11.

Which gender is she then?

Here’s is my agenda as a trans person: I want to have a job and live in a house. In my state, there are no legal protections for either of those two things. I have been fired from a job when it was discovered I was trans; I was unable to access any form of dv shelter when my ex took advantage of that to financially control me.

I don’t want to trans your kid. I don’t want to gawk at dudes in the loo. Just let me take my T and have a drivers license that won’t get me lynched if I’m driving through fucking Bokoshe.
