If only President Bidens bastard granddaughter was trans he would acknowledge her. Poor kid.

Nothing to do with gays. It is biological men acting as women. Gays and trans are not linked together at all.

Not really no. I really do believe in exposing kids to gay and trans people. How else can we end the ignorance and bigotry?

We can’t leave children alone. Including your children. They need to be educated to be civilized human beings. That means reading, writing, history (correctly taught), science. And it means exposing them to gay and trans people at a young age so that they can be taught to accept other people different from them. This needs to be mandatory, and if you don’t like it, too focking bad.

The first part of your argument is flawed. While it’s true that only a small number of black Americans are actually killed by police, a very large number of black Americans are victims of having been treated poorly by police. In fact, you would be hard out to meet a blacks person in this country who has never had a bad encounter with police or who hasn’t personally been a victim of white privilege. THAT is the impetus behind Black Lives Matter. Your point about the women who have lost sporting events is true, which is why I have the position that I do on that particular issue. My problem is that people are using this topic in order to pursue an overall anti-trans agenda, and in the overall scheme of things it’s too small to do that.

Meanwhile in Canada.... https://infotel.ca/newsitem/two-grade-4-girls-attacked-for-being-boys-or-trans-at-kelowna-track-and-field-event/it98836 This is the culture you guys have created. Just leave the kids alone.

This is a clever way to challenge someones manhood in defense of something harmful. I have daughters and this trans nonsense is absolultely concerning for me as it pertains to them. Luckily, no men have yet pretending to be a woman and stolen outcomes from them. I hope that remains true. But for those women for whom their hard-earned outcomes have been stolen I think there is a question. Why does the mental health issues of a transgender have more value than the hard work of a woman?

You’re logic flies is the face of literally what every LGBTQ activist says. I challenge you to find where anyone says these people are choosing anything. Are trans people choosing too? Or just the gays? Are people that are “fluid” just making a choice when they wake up each day? As usual, engaging you proves to be a waste of time. You’ve even advocated for the “ they’ve always been here” mentality. So I guess more people are choosing gayness nowadays? Which is it?

Pretty sure I was right about the small pen!s/ large rifle theory. Let me add a second theory: if you’re someone who complains constantly about gay and trans people, if you encourage laws to stop them or restrict them, then it’s likely you have doubts about your own masculinity. In other words you’re probably gay yourself and your homophobia and transphobia is a form of self-denial and self- hatred. Real men aren’t threatened by the sexuality of others.

I wish Biden treated these countries equally Which countries impose the death penalty on gay people? Gerardo Bandera 62 countries continue to criminalise homosexuality in their legal codes, several of which also outlaw forms of gender expression. In many cases, the laws only apply to sexual relations between two men, but 38 countries have amendments that include those between women in their definitions. These penalisations represent abuses of human rights, especially the rights to freedom of expression, the right to develop one's own personality and the right to life. Which countries enforce the death penalty for homosexuality? Saudi Arabia The Wahabbi interpretation of Sharia law in Saudi Arabia maintains that acts of homosexuality should be disciplined in the same way as adultery - with deathby stoning. Homosexuality or nonconformant gender expression can also be punished by corporal punishment, flogging, imprisonment or forced ‘conversion’ therapy. In 2019, the Saudi Arabian government orchestrated a mass-execution of 37 men who were accused of espionage or terrorism, five of whom were also convicted of same-sex intercourse after one was tortured into confessing. Iran Homosexuality is illegal in Iran and carries severe punishment under the country's Islamic penal code. Consensual same-sex sexual activity is considered a crime, and those convicted can face imprisonment, flogging, and even the death penalty. In 2022, for example, two men were convicted of having carried out homosexual relations and were hanged in prison. The death penalty does not apply to same-sex relations between women, but gay women are nevertheless punished with lashings and fines. The Iranian government has justified its stance on homosexuality by citing religious and cultural reasons, claiming that homosexuality is a sin and goes against Islamic values. As a result, LGBTQ+ individuals in Iran face systemic discrimination, harassment and violence, both from the government and from society at large. Yemen In Yemen, homosexuality is illegal and is punishable by imprisonment for up to three years. Article 264 of the country's penal code criminalises "sodomy" and defines it as sexual intercourse between two men and the law also criminalises any act of "indecency" or "immorality" between individuals of the same sex, including between women. In addition to imprisonment, those who are found guilty of homosexuality may also face fines, public flogging, or other forms of punishment, such as capital punishment. Between 2012 and 2014, at least 35 people were executed or murdered for their gay identity by the Ansar al Sharia militant group, which is affiliated with al Qaeda. In 2020, a trans woman was detained, tortured and whipped in chastisement of her gender expression before fleeing the country. Brunei The Syariah Penal Code in Brunei permits the administration of the death penalty for acts of sodomy; however, the country has had a moratorium on executions since 1996, and instead punishes homosexuality with whipping and up to 30 years of prison for men and 10 years for women. Nigeria Nigeria’s federal penal code imposes a penalty of 14 years of imprisonment for homosexuality. However, in 12 northern states, the regional penal code adopt Sharia law, which penalises homosexual acts with death or flogging. While the death penalty is not commonly used in these states, gay men are often detained, tortured and extorted by authorities, and harassed by community members. Mauritania In Mauritania, which follows a Sharia-based criminal code, sexual acts between people of the same sex are criminalised and may be punished with death; however, Mauritanian officials have noted that there is a de facto moratorium on the death penalty, which has not been administered since 1987. Nevertheless, queer people in the country face persecution, imprisonment, and harassment. Learn about which countries still allow capital punishment. Image: Maria Oswalt. Which other countries outlaw homosexuality? Africa Algeria, Burundi, Cameroon, Comoros, Egypt, Eritrea, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Liberia, Libya, Malawi, Mauritania, Mauritius, Morocco, Namibia, Nigeria, Occupied Palestinian Territory (Gaza Strip), Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Yemen, Zambia, Zimbabwe Asia Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Brunei, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, Maldives, Myanmar, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan Caribbean Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and The Grenadines Oceania Cook Islands, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu De facto illegality It’s important to note that while the countries listed above have explicit legislations outlawing homosexuality, some other countries that legally permit same-sex relations nevertheless persecute LGBTQ+ people. This intolerance can take the form of outlawing expressions of LGBTQ+ identities and culture, imposing stigma and discriminating in employment, housing or access to healthcare. Russia Homosexuality was decriminalised in Russia in 1993, but the government has nevertheless implemented several laws that discriminate against LGBTQ+ people and activists. On 5 December, Putin enacted a law that criminalises favourable public depictions or mentions of LGBTQ+ topics, for which violators can receive fines, imprisonment or expulsion from the country. India Same-sex relations were decriminalised in India in 2018, but LGBTQ+ individuals still face significant discrimination and violence, and the country has yet to enact comprehensive anti-discrimination laws to protect the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals. Indonesia Homosexuality is technically legal in Indonesia, but LGBTQ+ individuals still face significant discrimination and persecution. Indonesia is a predominantly Muslim country, and many people in the country hold conservative views on sexuality and gender. The government has enacted laws that restrict LGBTQ+ rights and expression, including a 2018 law that criminalises the promotion of "deviant" sexual acts, which has been used to target LGBTQ+ individuals and organizations. Physical and psychological punishments The penalties for homosexuality vary widely among the rest of the countries where it is still criminalised. In some countries, the punishments imposed are less severe, such as fines, while in others they can be violent, including imprisonment, flogging, whipping and forced psychiatric treatment. At least nine countries allow for punishment by life in prison for same-sex relations: Pakistan, Zambia, Uganda, Tanzania, Sudan, Sierra Leone, Guyana, Gambia and Bangladesh. In addition to the legal penalties, LGBTQ+ individuals in these countries often face discrimination, harassment and violence from their communities, including their families, neighbours and even law enforcement officials. For example, LGBTQ+ individuals may be denied access to housing, employment and healthcare, and may be subjected to verbal and physical abuse. They may also be forced to conceal their sexual orientation or gender identity, which can lead to social isolation, depression and other mental health issues. In some cases, LGBTQ+ individuals may be targeted by vigilante groups or mobs, who may beat or kill them with impunity. When they seek help from authorities, they may be further victimised, as police and other officials may ignore their complaints or even arrest them on charges of homosexuality. Organisations protecting LGBTQ+ lives The criminalisation of homosexuality also has a suffocating effect on LGBTQ+ activism and advocacy. LGBTQ+ individuals and organisations may be subject to surveillance, harassment and intimidation by authorities, and may face legal penalties for their work. However, NGOs across the world continue their mission of providing resources to LGBTQ+ people, in some cases helping them flee their homecountries to escape persecution. The Rainbow Railroad: This organisation helps LGBT+ individuals escape state-sponsored or social violence in countries where homosexuality is illegal. They work to identify individuals who are in danger and provide them with support to flee to safer locations. In 2022, they received 10,000 requests for assistance from LGBTQ+ people. OutRight International: This organisation engages in advocacy, research and education to promote change and support the LGBTQ+ community. They work to advance inclusion of marginalised people and to pressure governments to endorse protective laws. ILGA: This organisation empowers other networks of human rights organisations and promotes the protection of LGBTQ+ people through research, empowerment and advocacy work.

My kid is taught to judge people on an individual basis, which is basically a retelling of the "golden rule" I have lived in the most culturally diverse metro-area of this country for my entire life ... I am one for "live and let live", but this curriculum ain't gonna fly - this is as damaging to the Dems as the Roe v Wade static was for the Repubs Any ground they may have made in the "hearts and minds" arena will now be ceded greatly as this trans bullhonk continues to get foisted. They're doomed.

The trans movement is Islamophobic!!!

On the subject of trans people hurting kids, I find drag queens disturbing. There seems to be this group of men which likes to dress as women and attract young children for shows, parades, etc. I don't see it from women; are there "drag kings?" If not, why not? The answer perhaps is in autogynephilia, which seems uniquely male. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22005209/ These people are mentally disturbed IMO, and to discount that they are a possible risk to kids is IMO irresponsible. Thoughts?

J. Harrison Ghe, another trans actor, just won for Some Like It Hot.

Yea I'm a lib and this woke crap has gone way too far. You want to be homo or trans or a drag queen or whatever...that's fine. Just don't shove it down my throat and I won't shove my hetero lifestyle down yours. kden

You should donate your junk to a trans kid. You don’t need it.

Until trans care gets away from this crackpot notion that young children can self-diagnosis and the 'medical examination' criteria is simply to affirm the self-diagnosis, the practice needs to be banned completely. Establish standards with real medical and mental evaluations and treatments catered to the severity of those. Rubber-stamping children's feelings (which are easily manipulated by acceptance in social media, teachers and/or parents) and fast-tracking them towards the most brutal and permanent mutilations, is not medicine. It is insanity.

Another dolt who falls for the “trans healthcare” nonsense. Every treatment from talking to a counselor to actual cutting off d!cks and t!ts is encompassed under this utterly idiotic umbrella term. You think that is accidental? The nuance between these extremes is vast, but libtards bundle it all together so they can sky scream when someone speaks out against mutilating kids.

Is there a Fox personality spamming “leave the kids alone” BS or something? I see multiple right-wing nuts on here repeating that same phrase over and over. We’re not dumb. We know you are just using it as an excuse for bigotry against LGTBQ people. The false accusations of LGTBQ people supposedly hurting kids has been around since the 80s at least. It’s just part of a false narrative meant to excuse disgusting bigotry. GTFO. Do you know what IS harmful to trans kids? Denying them medical care, falsely accusing their parents of abuse, forcing them to use a bathroom that doesn’t match how they present themselves to their peers, and other things that ostracize them. It’s no longer cool to ostracize people for being gay, so the bigots are going after transgender people (including kids) instead. It’s hateful.

Only if you are an idiot who can't read...did you read the article and get past the BS hyperbole....not one of their points contradict my statement. Oh no, states are passing laws that protect minor children under 15 from getting their dickies cut off. Oh no, adult males can't dress as females and expose their hairy ass to 8 year old girls. Oh no, teachers can't try to convince young boys they are actually girls behind the parents backs. Oh no, you can't go to jail for misgendering someone. Not a single item that stupid-ass article written by some pedophile contradicts what I said about trans being free to do whatever they like in private with zero retributions. Dumbshit leftists posting links thinking they owned someone.

First it was about the kids. Then it wasn’t about da gheys - it was trans. Now it’s just pride stuff in general. Soon they’ll be boycotting rainbows.

You don't think trans people are mentally instable? Be truthful now.

Leftists: the poor trans people are so mentally instable they will surely kill themselves if they are not permitted life-saving surgery of cutting off their breasts or balls and given persoanlity altering hormone treatments. Also Leftist: let's bring these mental instable people into the schools to provide perverted sexually-explicit prancing and be role-models to spread this self-loathing life-style.

https://www.lp.org/attacks-on-trans-people-are-an-attack-on-liberty/ WHOOPS!

They have thought it through. California has a "trans refuge law," which allows mom to abscond there and cuts off both contact with the father and her son's genitals. https://nypost.com/2023/01/06/texas-dad-fears-ex-wife-plans-to-chemically-castrate-9-year-old-son/ In Canada, the solution is to put dad in prison for six months. https://bc.ctvnews.ca/b-c-dad-jailed-6-months-after-repeatedly-exposing-transgender-son-s-identity-despite-publication-ban-1.5390847
