    It’s not about bathrooms. It’s never been about bathrooms. It is only and will only ever be about hurting trans people for being “other”.

      Next thing you’ll tell my “state’s rights” had nothing to do with states or preserving rights. /s

        The civil war was about states’ rights.

        States’ rights to not send escaped slaves back to their home states where slavery is legal. The South wanted to force the North to give return escaped slaves. The North said no, if they come here they’re free. So the South started a war about it, because they didn’t want the states to have the right to make their own decisions about slavery. The South wouldn’t put up with any state supporting slaves who relocated to within its borders.

        I am not bound by your limited imagination. Just because you disagree with me doesn’t mean you can just declare that I am “pro slavery.” That’s no better than declaring that people who are against the genocide in.m Gaza must suddenly be “antisemitic“.

        If your position is so weak that you have to rely on flagrant lies and ridiculous falsehoods, then perhaps you should reassess your position. Mine is not your problem. And if you have to lie to make your point, it can’t be much of a point at all.

        Take your political bullshit to another sub. Don’t pick fights here just because you’re mad the Democrats lost.

        We are all mad about that, but we don’t act terribly towards each other as a result.

        Comport yourself appropriately

      Is it even about trans people or is it about generating a moral panic about them that might result in the creation of a genitalia inspector profession that will oppress all women? For their safety, of course.
