I’m quite sure you don’t understand how it works.

Just setting up plausible deniability against accusations of helping trump.
it’s not like logical consistency matters to them.
In fact, fascists see the ability to just say whatever gets them the most power in the moment as a strength. They’re not held back by “weaknesses” like truth and facts
All that matters to them is power
Google WPATH Standards of Care and read that document for the truth. It’s the actual rules that doctors are supposed to follow for treating trans people.
Until you’ve read that, you can’t have an informed opinion on the matter.
Women’s sports are divided out so they can compete equally.
This isn’t true at all. Women’s leagues were created because men refused to let women play in the leagues that were already created. That’s literally all there was to it.
“If nuclear war happens, we won’t be second in line pressing the button,”
Which means you’ll be pressing the button first. Which means you’re the one starting the nuclear war.
And the worst part is, I think that might actually be what me means.
So… MAGA voters
To the fascist, hypocrisy is a feature. It’s a tool that removes restrictions for themselves while it restricts others. It’s a flex; their strength is so great it can’t be bound by internal consistency or mental consonance.
To the fascist, if hypocrisy grants them more power then it’s a good thing
The difficulty is that the only way to achieve equal status is through equitable treatment. But some people don’t want equitable treatment, oftentimes because they don’t want equal status.
Gotcha. Very valid point.
People love looking at the first civil war in conversations like this, but the next civil war is going to be nothing like it. For a likely comparison, you’d have to look at the Spanish Civil War and The Troubles in Ireland.
Americans have no fucking clue what they’re asking for.
I don’t have to imagine rotflol
My kid and a bunch their friends deal with it, and I and many others are there to help them. And it sucks for them BIG TIME. It’s hard, even with supportive family and friend groups. My kid had two classmates just this year lose their lives to suicide due to LGBTQ hate.
The 90s were worse.
I really think you have no idea what you’re saying.
Great example of how fascists view the law as something to oppress others, not to restrict themselves. “Law and order (for thee not for me)”
Fwiw I’m a trans person who grew up in the 80s/90s and I still think the 90s were way WAY worse than present day for trans people.
Things are bad right now, really bad, but they’re not as bad as they were in the 90s. Not even close.
That’s just how bad the 90s were.
Correct, he he follows through with his threat then he will lose when it goes to court.
So all he has to do is delay his action until right before the election, so the court can’t react in time and its decision ends up coming after the election is over. At that point, because America as proven time and again that it won’t redo an election no matter how flagrantly election laws are broken, it won’t matter and he’ll have gotten away with it.
It’s very well documented that Lenin returned to Russia from exile with the help of Germany, and made significant use of German money and military supplies during the revolution. He even got shit for it from his own communist party. He kept in their good graces by promising to start a communist revolution in Germany next. Funny how that one never quite got off the ground…
And then the Nazis came to power, arrested all the communists, and eventually broke the alliance with the ussr.
The info’s pretty easy to find, Google will get you some good articles about it.
After all, they were allies before Hitler betrayed Stalin.
You’re using this to support your argument that authleft = authright, but you’re forgetting that Lenin was an agent of Germany. The alliance between Germany and Russia predates both Hitler and Stalin, and had nothing to do with whether their governments were similar in any way.
The 14th Amendment doesn’t require a conviction, and innocent until proven guilty doesn’t apply because this is a civil suit.
I’ll be surprised if this doesn’t go all the way to SCOTUS though.
The problem is that “biological man/woman” is a nonsense pseudoscientific term. There’s multiple forms of sex determination: chromosomal, hormonal, and phenotypical, for example. And none of them necessarily reflect gender, which is about how the brain develops.
Chromosomal sex is what most people think of when they use terms like “biological man/woman” but the chromosomes themselves aren’t nearly as important as the SRY gene which, if present and active, triggers an embryo to develop hormonally and phenotypically male sex characters and male gender. But the SRY gene isn’t always where it’s supposed to be or working how it’s supposed to work, which can cause mismatches between sexual development and gender.
And that’s only one known potential cause due somebody to be transgender. There are more that we know of, and probably more that we don’t know of.
So yeah, “biological male/female” is a gross oversimplification to the point of being straight up bullshit.
