You are missing the point, the polls don't matter. I know it's a wedge issue that republicans slam on, but just because a thing is popular doesn't make it wise.

• Scientifically (HRT equalizes everything after 2+ years)

• Philosophically (trans women are women, trans men are men)

• Politically (sets a precedent of gatekeeping certain areas)

• Practically (intersex, cis athletes with unique biology)

From every angle you look at it, we can't enshrine ASAB as the end all determination. It's not a compromise that will make transphobic people chill, it will be a victory for them to push more.

Are you really going to tell me that a trans girl who was on puberty blockers as a child and HRT when she is old enough, who never went through "male puberty" at any point physically has some edge and should not be able to be on a girls soccer team? Because that flies in the face of all reason. Setting a law because of popularity instead looking at the facts will cause more problems down the road.

We should all just get on board with allowing discrimination based on sex at birth in women’s sport competitions.

No, we need the exact opposite of this but for the same reason.

We should ignore it as an issue because it's literally not an issue. The minuscule number of people it will affect don't warrant national discussion nor legislation. But we should also not cede ground to transphobic bigots that want to use this as precedent "that assigned sex at birth" is relevant in some venues. Next stop is bathrooms and gyms.

More over, scientifically this isn't even a metric that makes sense. What about intersex folk? Their assigned sex at birth inherently doesn't fit in to a binary. It also ignores the numerous cis women who naturally have higher testosterone levels. I get why its an easy solution as transphobia is rampant and dangerous in other areas of life, but thats not a good reason to make inherently flawed laws.

Not that it's a long ways to fall...

The invisible hand of the free market blinded me.

That's tragic, heartbreaking and a good question to ask.

But unfortunately I think the answer is yes. Bigots are happy, any queer death is a reinforcement that their methods work. All are so quick to say "trans people are mentally ill" and the immediately do their best to make that person's life a living hell, which is some twisted cruel logic. They don't want us to exist, they call to exterminate us from public life and they think by making our lives difficult enough we can be shamed in to non-existentance.

We can't let them win. Because victory is literally death, but we will always have to remember those who fell, honor their memory and use their tale as a warning against every piece of shit conservative bathroom bill deadname enforcement and trans healthcare blockade. Because unfortunately, trans people as a whole are very directly under attack. Please vote accordingly.

She could've had the life she deserved, she could've still been the preacher, the politician, the parent, the anything. But for shame and fear, we have this. This is what all that "doing it for attention", "pronouns suck" and "groomer pedo" talk amounts too. People so scared to live that we have a dead body instead.

I hope she is at peace.

Israel, and it's supporters, will say that Hamas was hiding in the abulences. all of the literal children were all terriosts and that being bombed is proof enough they were Hamas. I mean... WHY ELSE DIDN'T THEY MOVE LIKE WE TOLD THEM TOO?!?

It's disgusting BS.

I can speak from personal experince, but more often than not the keyboard for these isn't locked. About a decade ago, I changed one of them to "Fry - Nixon 2016" as a dumb little Futurama reference. It stayed that way for about a week.

Oh please! Judge, think of the children!
