It’s not that it would be illegal. In theory, there’s nothing illegal about trans support groups sending mailers like this to every house in a state. Actual trans groups don’t do this because we’re fucking stupid. LGBT groups always operate on a model of “you come to us, we don’t come to you.” Trans groups don’t run literal recruitment campaigns. If actual trans groups did this, the political backlash would be immense. You start “messing with” people in their homes, reaching out directly to th...

You have a poor understanding of history. “Lesser of two evils” didn’t get us Obama. If the lesser evil won in 2004, Kerry would have had a single term in office and then lost to McCain after the housing collapse. In the 2008 primary, Hillary’s entire argument was that she was the lesser evil. Obama’s victory was a complete refutation of your lesser evil beliefs. You have 0 foresight and 100 rage.

If you really believe that, then you have a child’s understanding of the Supreme Court. It is anything but as simple as you seem to believe. SCOTUS has original jurisdiction over a few narrow kinds of cases. These are powers Congress can’t amend or change. Disputes between the states and disputes involving ambassadors are examples of these. But there’s also appellate jurisdiction - where a court has a right to appeal decisions made by other courts. This authority isn’t absolute. The Constituti...

Democrats Abandon Trans Voters at Their Peril Liberals will lie to you and tell you to “just vote in the primary,” but in reality they simply don’t care about trans rights and do not believe there is ever a right time to challenge transphobic Democrats. First primary: the transphobes hide their colors so you can’t vote against them. First general election: the snakes reveal their colors, but you can’t vote against the traitors because “blue no matter who.” They tell you to just vote in the...

Can you provide any citation that a company can’t fire you if you have a medical card? AFAIK that’s not true. As I understand it, It’s still illegal under federal law, and there is no concept of marijuana as medicine in federal law.

Yes. And they contradict your claims. You just vomited studies without even reading them.

You didn't even read the fucking articles you linked. You just googled articles for trans athletics and vomited them here, assuming they would back your claims. From your first paper: >While longitudinal transitioning studies of transgender athletes are urgently needed, these results should caution against precautionary bans and sport eligibility exclusions that are not based on sport-specific (or sport-relevant) research. So the first article contradicts your claims and explicitly says...

And this is why we don't put civil rights up to a "gut check." You're simply wrong. You have a bigoted belief that trans women have a male sex, so you assume that trans women perform the same as cis men in sports. Your bigotry blinds you to reality. Your gut is just a bigoted assumption. The actual science shows that trans women do not have advantages over cis women in sports. Or the advantage is so minute that it's dwarfed by advantages like the income of your parents.

> It seems fairly obvious to me that a trans woman should not be able to compete in women’s sports simply because of the biological advantage of having a male body. Who cares what the actual science says, you're a trust your gut type, aren't yah? If the science says trans women have no advantage, that doesn't matter, because "underThunder" jacks off to trans porn and views trans women as men. So we just have to go with their assumptions, science be damned.

Yeah, the only actual crime is sneaking across the border. But most people here "illegally" didn't even do that. Most undocumented immigrants didn't pay some coyote to sneak them across the US-Mexican border. Most come here completely legally through ordinary travel options and overstay their visas.

We should make it a capital offense for a monarch or inherited noble of any kind to set foot in the US. Being a monarch of any kind is a crime against humanity. I don't care how "constitutional" a monarch is. You're still talking about a monster that dares to claim power over others simply by right of birth. We should still be open to diplomatic relations with monarchies. I'm willing to deal with diplomats, but this land should be unsullied by the rot of kings. The US rea...
