I live in a free country to think the way I fucking want to. How many times can I say you should be respected as a person. I’m sorry our opinions are different. 

We're close to living in a country where you're can't express yourself without fear of reprisal from the govt. Anti-Trump speech could very well became a punishable event. There's already a threat of punishment if you say something that Trump opposes.

I agree that freedom of speech isn't free of consequences but that is reserved for the general public to apply those punishments like a boycott or rejection of something. But we will soon have the govt punishing you.

And also, when that guy takes power, he'll be a dictator/king and functionally end the Republic.

But it's totally worth it so long as D3 women's sports are safe from a handful of trans persons.

 

Jesus.....that he doesn't see how fucking destructively stupid that reasoning is continues to blow my mind.

Had to vote to exterminate trans people (though really all I WANTED was the driver's license thing, I swear!) because Riley Gaines got 5th place instead of 4th place in a race. That's a totally reasonable case for supporting nazis, right?

Did he decide to SIDE with the USSR when he did so?  Did he deem the Soviet leadership to be brilliant, and worth his emulation and admiration?  That seems to be a pretty key fucking difference.

You are the most obtuse motherfucker on this planet.  Sadly, you have millions of counterparts who think and voted the same way.

We're already at the point where the only path to redemption for people who voted for Trump because they sincerely didn't think he'd be like this is for them to immediately own up to being colossal dumbasses and be willing to take to the streets when the time comes and physically put themselves between the guns and other protesters. 

I think we all know TB91 isn't going to ever do that. He's going to cheer on as Trump orders people shot and then when the tide turns against him he'll just go quiet. He'll change usernames and throw his MAGA hat in the trash and pretend he never actually supported Trump. Millions will.

You can't compete with the kind of stupidity that would accept a hateful Russian puppet and his party of cowards to assuage his fear of the theoretical 14-year old transgendered individual getting third place in a regional swim meet.

You hope it's contained by genetics and mortality and you move on.

Reagan met with Gorbachev, who was as "moderate" a Soviet leader as they came.  He didn't kowtow to him.  Trump worships Putin, who is as ruthless as any who came before him, who owns Trump, and who is actively (and successfully) trying to destroy America, yet you dipshits draw some insane false equivalence.

Seeing more and more of these posts..just cruel the hatred spewed towards good people

Of course, we know this is the intent. Voter apathy got Trump elected and now he seeks to crush the spirit before he truly pulls the rug out from under democracy.

No, see, this is what Texasborn voted for.  It's all worth it to make sure that Troph's TDL is switched back to "M."  THAT'S what's really important here.

I was preparing a post to give him credit. but then he would think he's absolved of the more important aspects here. there is unequivocally an existential threat on my right to (1) live, and (2) do so in peace, in the United States of America. That is actually not even in question anymore. so while I appreciate him saying she in other posts, he continues to have extreme animus toward me given his vote and his positions, despite him claiming otherwise.

I still can't get over "I just care about sports and official documentation" as the explanation. Jesus fucking christ. I'd be a lot more sympathetic if it was something like "I was raised in an extremely religious household to hate gay people and then I got a boner once when I saw an attractive trans woman and have not known how to feel about anything since then and am very anxious and angry about everything as a result!" 

"Trans people are fine but I voted to exterminate them because of a letter on their driver's license" isn't something I ever could've even come up with myself as some fictitious illustration of the banality of evil. If someone else had proposed it as the motivation for a fictional character in a story idea they had I'd have told them it was too stupid and that the motivation must be something deeper. But nope, that's it. 

And THEY call US npcs.

I’ll debate you and say if there was a female that was good enough to play at the highest levels of the NBA that shit would be welcomed with open arms! I would fucking love it. But if a bunch of D3 men’s bench warmers decided to take their talents to WNBA?  Ugh, not so much. I agree if it’s not a physically demanding sport that both genders can compete at equal levels then have at it.

As I said if there is a science based reason I can accept that. I will say that when I first started hearing about this issue like...20 years ago or whenever...I was a little concerned that athletes are just so desperately competitive and so determined to win that male athletes would try to compete in women's sports just because they are so desperate to win. But we have never seen this really. I guess there are some things so extreme even the crazy competitive mind of the athlete won't do.

And for like 98% of humanity that works great. But for whatever reason we have always had these trans people who that doesn't work for. And then the even small number of intersex people. I don't know. If people can't be allowed to change their gender legally, then maybe there should be an option to just leave it blank.

the definition of a nazi is someone who is or supports authoritarian leadership coupled with a belief that some groups of people are less than them simply because of who they are. actual genocide is not required, supporting and enacting legislation that segregates, harms and discriminates against those people is sufficient.

But when it comes to legal documentation and representation in athletic events I think you should be grouped into the gender that you were genetically born into. I’m not trying to start any kind of shit. Just trying to add to the convo. 

Ok fine.  But, seriously, what difference does it make what your gender is on your drivers license and birth certificate?

Do you really think a competitiveness issue like men in women's sports should be the subject of legislation?  Especially when it is a tiny fraction of competitors?

I'm not grouping you with anyone. I'm explaining to you that your actions have consequences. You do not get to vote for those that want to DESTROY my life and then say I should be respected first and foremost. Those are incompatible.

and the mere fact that I'm disagreeing with you does not mean we aren't having a conversation.

you are correct, you are not well versed in the opposition I face, I'm trying to tell you. Please listen, your vote matters and it is destroying people's lives. not about sports, about families, healthcare, mental health, suicide, violence, access to housing, insurance, jobs, and the right to have access to the very promise of America - the pursuit of happiness.  There is zero reason for the government to target me and my people to the extreme degree they are. It's HORRIBLE. It's wrong and it has fundamental consequences I hope you never have to face.

The supply and demand issue of killing off birds (thus driving up the price) to prevent the spread of disease to more flocks nearby isn’t a political issue. It’s a common sense issue. That price is set by a market.

by the way, if you think my driver's license should say M on it - why?  give me the justification.

The reality is when my passport is changed to M, I'm immediately outed. That can put me in extreme danger in many places where I would otherwise be fine. I could be detained at an airport or customs station simply out of morbid curiosity, subject to searches, harassment, etc. Same for my driver's license. That's just the tip of the iceberg.  discrimination in lending, housing, job searches, etc. all open wide up when I'm outed.

Fact is there is not one compelling reason to prohibit my gender marker being left as F in this world that overrides the risk I face if my gender marker is M, none.

Because it's a fucking stupid thing to discuss in light of all the massively illegal/corrupt shit that's going on.

Or, let's put it in terms of the things the republican party used to pretend to care about: limited government.  Do you know how many transgender people are competitive swimmers in this country?  I made a rough calculation at one point and, to no one's surprise, it is an infinitesimally small number; it is a small fraction of one percent.  Why in the hell does the so-called party of limited government place this issue toward the tip of the spear, much less include it on its policy platform at all?  We all know the real answer.

I think there is hope for him actually. I'm trying to share my personal lived experience hoping he is listening. I think he sort of is.  I'd post a picture of me and my family so he could see the humanity but that would be a mistake. suffice it to say, I'm no different than anyone here, just trying to live in peace, unfortunately the politicians he supports have declared an out right war for my existence. I hope he sees that.

Naah, it's almost always a toxic stew of 1) self-loathing because of ambiguous inner sexual thoughts, like being attracted to a trans person once, and 2) good old-fashioned punching down: weak people feel powerful when they find someone to bully.
