“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” (Voltaire). Welcome to the trans ideology movement which encourages medical experimentation on children & thinks male-bodied people should be in women's sports, prisons, hospital wards & changing rooms.
@RepJeffries No one is banning kids from sports. The issue is males playing on opposite sex teams. Are you seriously arguing that women must compete against post-puberty, male bodied athletes?
It is beyond infuriating that when someone speaks up for saving girls' and women's sports for girls and women, the headline misleadingly reads "trans kids are excluded from sports." Men and boys who "identify" as women can play sports - on the congruent biological team.
@bindelj@jk_rowling It is hard to have heroes in the world we live in these days. She is definitely one-at the top. Brilliant, fearless and funny and the key leader in fighting one of the most dangerous misogynists ideologies.
@HistoryBoomer I can't tell you how relieved I am to see Strawberry Rhubarb Pie near the top of the list. I was starting to give up on any commonality ;)
@salltweets A huge part of this. Not the whole story but a very large part is how much men are valued over women (and children). Most democrat will rush to protect a man in a dress over a woman trying to protect her safety, privacy and fairness.
I wonder if any significant number of Democrats understand that they will never win another presidential election as long as they can't say what is a man and what is a women. By embracing trans ideology they undermine all credibility in science, education, and facts, generally.
@JennPellegrino The dancing required to navigate transgender ideology is mind-blowing. The fact that scientists, health policy leaders, educators and more are willing to to that dance is even more mind-blowing. If only this time were devoted to protecting women and children.
The Gay Men's Network was outrageously libelled by Amnesty as "anti rights" despite our work to protect the 80-90% gay/lesbian youth at gender clinics where staff joke "soon there will be no gay people left".
We are beyond grateful, emotional and touched by the decency of JKR.
It drives me crazy when people who are late to the party on transgender ideology do not let their under-informed status mitigate their strong opinions. BUT, at least people are edging, slowly toward realizing this is a dangerous ideology that likely lost us the last election.
@HistoryBoomer Man, always sneaking in a terribly misguided food POV. None of this things are, of course, globally "good" but they are all in that global sense, worthwhile and have something enormous to offer. All except pecan pie. Carl is good because he cares about these things & engages.
@HistoryBoomer You know who needs their rights protected? Women and children. Women have the right to safety, privacy & fairness. Children have the right to be free of medical experimentation in service of ideology.
