I kept hearing about how โThe gays want special rights!!โ yet every time I asked a person saying this just what โspecialโ rights those were they came up withโฆ nothing.
There wasnโt, ever, a single right the bigots could name that they themselves didnโt already enjoy.
But saying โThey want to be equal to us!โ and screaming opposition to that doesnโt go over well so instead they lie about their โspecial rightsโ fantasy.
Love your dog. Spitting image of Basker (the DachsHUND of the Baskervilles).
I have never understood why "trans" is such a threat. Has anyone who is actually trans raped a girl in the girl's room (as opposed to Nex Benedict, who was attacked in the bathroom of her birth-gender)? Certainly the kids know who or isn't trans and are perfectly capable of reporting a "fake." And if a woman is in fact trans, she presumably isn't particularly interested in raping other women, any more than a birth-woman is.
On sports issues, it really should be decided on a case by case basis--is the sport one where the characteristics of the birth gender actually give an advantage and does the actual person actually HAVE those characteristics in a significant amount.
Beyond that, all of this culture war stuff about LBTGQ+ is just whopping up the holier-than-thou folks to frenzies. You are right. These are ordinary people. Unless they happen to accomplish things having nothing to do with sex or gender--like Jan Morris.
Iโve never gotten why the idea that people should be free to be themselves is frightening. That no one is free unless everyone is free seems fundamental and particularly salient in the matter of sexuality. Whether one is straight, gay, both, none, or somewhere in between is their own business and no one elseโsโand certainly not the stateโs.

Indeed. It insecurity of Christian Nationalist is staggeringly huge.
