Trump repealed Obama's mixed bathroom mandate, which was territory Obama and the Democrats never needed to get involved in, particularly in an election year like 2016. Obama maybe thought the whole world held the opinions of Twitter, but out with that lunatic asylum his edict wasn't particularly well received. Not going by the comments sections of even left leaning media, it wasn't.Pelosi is quite pro-trans lobby I believe.
And they'd still come back with "not all trans women have a dick!"I heard a podcast from some comedian at the time, I forget who, who made the point that facilities should just be labelled "For people with a dick" and "People without a dick" and that would clear things up.
when most do.And they'd still come back with "not all trans women have a dick!"
There would be tweets, memes and missives about lady dicks not being the same as man dicks. Basically, any excuse to use the non-dick bathrooms.And they'd still come back with "not all trans women have a dick!"
Again those talking like that did not listen to Biden's inauguration speech - or if they did, didn't think it pertained to themselves. Someone might be a nazi, or hold racist views, but shouting at them, deleting them off your facebook, shaming them etc doesn't persuade them as to why their views are wrong. True, once someone has completely given their minds of a cult like Trump/QAnon, there's only so much you can do but you can at least keep the door open so once they start having doubts that they have somewhere to go back to rather than being stuck in the cult.There would be tweets, memes and missives about lady dicks not being the same as man dicks.

Ugh, I’m so despairing of the Biden stuff. And as much as I know Twitter isn’t representative of real life, the fact that it was full of people crowing about “LOL TERFs, suck it witches” to the extent “TERFs” was actually trending, says a lot. Any excuse to hate women. The violent misogyny of it all. And it’s not only socially acceptable, it’s celebrated.
No doubt, but I think they were coming from the angle of a verifiable physical attribute, rather than a concept, which being a woman is now apparently.And they'd still come back with "not all trans women have a dick!"
Yeah, I think the status quo for the Dems now is that you have to be fully on board with pro-trans stuff. Same goes for left wing parties everywhere It feels like? I feel a bit rudderless really. I hold lots of left wing values, but they aren't necessarily reflected with the woke identity politics version of left wing we see today!Not defending him as such, I just think he has a team of people around him pushing an agenda and he's going along with it. I'm very worried about what's happening in the US
I've mostly jumped ship to the other side or at least the center, not just because of the trans stuff either, I just can't relate to the woke leftYeah, I think the status quo for the Dems now is that you have to be fully on board with pro-trans stuff.

Ive just gone to look at this users account and they’ve been suspended!
I would definitely still see myself as left of centre both socially and economically. I believe in high taxation and decent public services, equal rights, democracy, free press, preparing for and trying to alleviate global warming. Just because people on the far left think that anything minutely to the right of them means you're a nazi doesn't make me a nazi.I've mostly jumped ship to the other side or at least the center, not just because of the trans stuff either, I just can't relate to the woke left
Very much agree with all of this. The thing with being woke, is you can never be woke enough. They try and out-woke each other. It must be tiring.I would definitely still see myself as left of centre both socially and economically.

The woke thing tires me out too as many of my friends are ardently trying to be as woke as possible. I tend to find that my wokiest friends are the ones most guilty of not-woke actions (wokeness is against performative protest/allyship and these are the most performative people on my feed!).
I remember when the blackout Tuesday thing was going on, I decided personally I didn't want to participate because I felt it was performative and virtue signalling, didn't actually do anything and when it came right round it'd turn out that it would was the wrong thing to do. Then all my friends started posting black squares and I got worried that if I didn't people would think I was racist. I worried if someone posted with something like 'I'm side-eyeing those who aren't saying they're against racism today.' But then I noticed that my friends who were one level up on the woke scales started sharing blackout tuesday posts that explained how they were doing the campaign 'right' because they were sharing a black square alongside places you could donate or volunteer with. Then my friends who were top tier woke shared how they weren't doing it at all because (like I had decided myself), it was performative, largely useless, and filled up the BLM hastags with useless black squares. Now maybe I was the wokiest of them all by not performing how woke I was by simply coming to a personal understanding and not having to broadcast my virtue. Or maybe I was the least woke because I was silent and white silence=violence.
I think this is the problem with woke-theory is that it becomes very difficult not to end up in a double bind.
You know, this breaks my heart for aspiring girls and women hoping to seek success in their chosen sport or discipline. There’s often a small window of time when athletes can be at their pinnacle, and it is so competitive to be amongst the best, so to train and dedicate your life to the goal of setting records, winning races or heats or whatever, to only be trounced by men insisting they are women, it’s just so unfair. Most men have builds that outpace and outstrip womens’ it’s just highly unfair. Women try so bloody hard to shatter glass ceilings, barriers, push past misogyny etc, and now these athletes face being outpaced at every turn in their career, if this is allowed to happen mainstream. It’s just so unfair.
Very true. Let’s hope some more prominent sports people speak out about it so that attention can also turn to women’s rights in general.It is very unfair. The only silver lining I think, is visually it is very powerful in peaking people. Especially men. They instantly can see it’s cheating where as don’t care about other issues such as tape crisis centres.
I respect that, and I don't mind people having different opinions. I won't go into too much details, but being a POC what attracts me (at least to conservative voices I've seen in america) is that I'm treated better, in their efforts to "help the poor widdle x(my race group)" I find that the left in general love to put us in categories. I'm attracted to the idea of personal responsibility rather then the idea that the whole system is against me. In my day to day, people who are right-near the center have treated me better then extreme leftists. It's not stressfull talking to them because they don't talk about how I as X needs to act like this. Or the white people are evil trope is so boring. From my experience, I prefer the racism on the right then the left. Why? the racist on the right just say their racist tit and get on with it. The left? they're gaslighting af, for simply having a different opinion I'm a coconut, I think I'm white, I'm for white supremacy, (oh but it's because you support bad ideas so it's not racist to call someone who has ancestors who were slaves/colonized a white supremacist UwU). This has been my experience with a lot of lefties/far lefties (not that they're all like that but seems like it's the majority). Basically I'd rather an open racist then a woke one, the first you can avoid easily. I also like taking responsibility in my own hands financially, the government not being overly involved in my life etc.I would definitely still see myself as left of centre both socially and economically.

I've found Candance Owens speaks really well on this kind of thing. Some stuff of hers is too right wing for me but her story of what made her become conservative was very eye opening, as has been listening to a number of black conservatives recently. If you look at things from their point of view you can see just how racist the left actually is.I respect that, and I don't mind people having different opinions.
