Can you define what those rights are? And where those rights intersect and collide with others’ rights (as in a woman’s right to sex segregated places) whose rights shall prevail?

Their Dear Leader bragged about invading women’s spaces to leer at naked 14 year olds for sexual gratification, where’s their outrage over that? I could give a shit who pees in the next stall. It’s a stall. Trans is just the latest Squirrel!!! A simple diversion tactic. He counts on stupidity.

Indeed! I've had #Trans friends but THEY did NOT "make" me TRANS (I'm 100% Straight) but their FRIENDSHIP DID help me be MORE AWARE that the idea of ONLY TWO Genders was OBSOLETE and INCORRECT. Reality: There's far more than 2 genders (sexual, social, biological, genetic) & has ALWAYS been so.

There is also a big difference between “gender “ and biological sex. Like all complex subjects, stupid people need to compress it into a binary format in order to cope. They impose their inability to comprehend on everyone else.

If a straight white person does something awful, people blame the person. If a trans, black, or immigrant does something awful, people are fine with blaming the whole demographic. Seeing the way the White House has been doing this is terrifying. This is how genocides get started.

There is a UN declared actual genocide going on now. It isn’t antisemitism to oppose genocide. Not all Palestinians support Hamas, especially not infants. Likewise, not all Jews support Bibi. The issues are complex. Treat them that way or we are all doomed to fail.

Can you cite the DSM-V where this "mental illness" is listed? Gender dysphoria isn't the same as being transgender and only sometimes affects some transgender people (the treatment for which is transition therapies).

So, go on, cite the actual mental illness.

Not to specifically defend transgenderism, as I like to stay neutral, but gender is the key word here. Gender has been separated from sex, and sex is binary. However, transgender surgery and hormone therapy is for the purpose of aligning binary sex characteristics with nonbinary gender identity.

And if you don't believe it, watch the trailer below. Don't tell me God made everything and then deny that he made every species exactly the way he meant to! youtu.be/GikfSszcBHE?si=KiWjtcsZLGYgRYSW

Absolutely. All humans are equal before nature and nature’s God and possess the same rights. The declaration that “all men are created equal” is now widely read as an assertion of UNIVERSAL human rights, influencing not only American law but global human rights movements.

All human's RIGHTS ARE INHERENT! There are humans who believe it's their "right" to mess or take away other human's rights. They use their bigotry to think that somehow it's their business to push that bigotry onto Trans People. It's WRONG period.

Yes and even IF a single assassination was committed by a young unstable man on the tragic, misguided thought that he was somehow helping it is not up to the trans community to defend him or justify it. Trans people are no more responsible for Charlie Kirk than Jodie Foster is for Reagan’s shooting.

Want to make the Christofascists lose (what's left of) their minds?

Tell them that TS Gabrielle is heading to Florida to blow everyone she can!

They need enemies; otherwise, their entire tactic to deceive the people doesn't work.

Thanks, Kat. 💜🏳️‍⚧️✊️

Making fascists cry isn't the reason I transitioned. But it's a nice little bonus.
