Wildfires in CA

The transgender movement. Nothing terrifies 60 year old men more than people they almost never encounter and will have the opportunity to misgender maybe once or twice in their lives... and heaven forbid be corrected.

But, but... THEY ARE PLAYING IN WOMEN'S SPORTS!!! Yeah, like 40 of the them country wide... again, the biggest concern among 60 year old men is transgender females competing in about .0001% of women's athletics across the country.

AND THE DRAG SHOW READINGS!!! AHHHH!!!

You go get em fellas! COMMON SENSE WILL PREVAIL!

Transgender is the precursor to transhumanism. Why are you equating any of this to 60 year old men? It's 100% pushed by the liberal media and politics. You can say that there are not that many transgender people or men playing women's sports, but that doesn't mean that it hasn't been massively pushed in the last 20 years along with the celebration of homosexuality as the greatest thing on Earth.

Nothing like a generalization to make a winning argument! Most of us have noticed that those who "lean" left always try to place individuals into a category they can demean. Life is much easier for them if they can place all the square pegs into round holes!

I'm 73 years old and gays don't terrify me! In fact, I've had a number of friends and co-workers during the past 57 years. What I will state is that it is unfair for men, no matter how many operations and drugs, to compete in women's sports. It may be "like 40 of them country wide," but they are cheating women who have worked hard to win awards out of their rightful accolades! Basically, they are men who have low self esteem because they cannot compete at the highest levels against men. I want to see your same argument when biological men are banned from biological women's sports, so they move into "Handicapped Sports" to get a trophy and accolades!

Drag show readings are OK as long as they are done for adults. Who cares? But when you start doing those shows in front of children without their parents' consent, that is shameful. We still live in a country where you can do just about anything you want, EXCEPT WHEN YOU TRAMPLE ON THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS! I think forcing children to watch and take part in shows their parents find distasteful is wrong. But like most who "lean" left, you want everyone else to follow your rules. God forbid anyone might have another take on those "rules" and disagree with them, which is their right!

Yeah, pretty sure my post said in the 90's it was the gays.

Just like any marginalized group leading conservatives tell you to be scared of, you fall in line until you realize there was nothing to be worried about and they're just people who are different than you trying to live their lives and the party moves on to the next scapegoat.

Like I said, right now it's transgenders.

And because you'll fall for anything, you actually believe kids being forced to watch drag queens read stories is actually a real thing. Drag Story Hour, which bigoted conservatives latched onto, is simply someone dressed in drag reading a story to little kids at a public library. Nobody is forcing anything, that's just some made up bullshit. The kids don't know the person is trans, they just enjoy being read to and the people doing it are volunteering their time to help solve problems with literacy.

Oh, so you care about what's fair for women? You know what's a much larger problem than 40ish transgender women competing in female sports?

How about rape?

How bout the fact that 1 in 6 women will experience an attempted rape in their lifetime? How about that women aged 16-24 (the age you're worried about them competing in sports) are 3x more likely to be raped than any other age demographic? How bout the fact that 91% of people prosecuted for rape and abuse are men? How about that around 50% of rapes committed in the US are by white men?

Perhaps harsher penalties for rape, policies put in place for educating young men on sexual education, how about parents raising their sons to respect women? That would probably seem more important to the bulk of women don't you think?

Oh wait, a convicted rapist is in the White House... so you don't care. ITS THE 16 YEAR OLD TRANS KID WHO HITS A VOLLEYBALL HARD THAT'S THE PROBLEM!!!

Seattle or Bust is like parody it's so dumb.

There are straw men, and then there's if you don't like boys competing in girls sports, then you're pro-rape. We are talking next-level on that one fellas.

I actually agree that it's not something to get up in arms about. It's mostly just another smokescreen issue like all of the left vs right nonsense. It's all cooked up. But, that's the point. It's not organic. Nobody wants it. Nobody is asking for it. Everybody will be JUST FINE WITHOUT DRAG QUEEN STORY HOUR!

No you stupid fuck, that's just what you want to read.

The point is that drag queens and trans people are so minuscule in the grand scheme of problems affecting this country, especially women or children, and Republicans use them as culture war distractions.

Nobody (outside of weak-minded, deeply afraid conservatives) should give a living fuck about drag queens reading to kids given the context of what is actually happening. Yet it comes here as some important issue where you morons twist what's actually going on into something that's "scary" in an attempt to marginalize people you don't understand. Ddraig believing that kids are "forced" to do it implies it's for indoctrination which is just retarded.

The lot of you could talk about actual problems impacting women or children... but of course, you'd never do that.

I certainly don't care about it from a political perspective. There won't be drag queens reading to your kids if you don't send them to the K-12 government indoctrination camps. I don't participate in politics, because politics don't change the course of government.

But, if you can't see that the conservatives are reacting to agitation, then you are blind. The woke nonsense has been shoved down everybody's throats for a while now. Gong back to Bruce Gender. It's in everything from movies to NFL endzones.

I talk exclusively about problems impacting women and children, because I'm anti government to my core. I'm anti fiat currency, anti legal tender laws. I don't want to ban drag queen story hour if people voluntary want to sign up for it.

The previous poster nailed it. You just want to group everyone into a convenient enemy group and get all emotional about it. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
