Clown world would be a lot funnier if not for the very real harm inflicted.
I wish you luck with your campaign.
I though you might win a small victory in South Dakota where they had a bill to ban trans from high school sports. Look like that lost unfortunately.

Not long ago there was an Op-Ed by a transexual activist telling men that they MUST accept trannies as real women or else we're all bigots. That trans "women" are NOT REQUIRED to reveal that they are trans, thus removing any consent by the intended victims of these individuals.
I'm sick of trans activism.
It's an exercise in protecting mental illness and trying to impose it on regular people.
And if you don't agree you're a bigot and a thought criminal.
Here's the disgusting article:

As this pertains to violent behaviour, it certainly can be a cause for concern if transgender women who have transitioned or are in the process of transitioning, or are misuing or not able to obtain horomones, are having problems with mood, depression, anger etc. and not being monitored properly or the medical community just haven't figured out how to treat the adverse reactions of hormonal therapy, which also includes transgender men becoming more aggressive...
...then, add in transgender discrimination and violence to further challenge transgender people, then it would appear that we all have a big problem on our hands.
As for sexual predation, if you read the linked study, it seems that trans women may be misusing or not using hormones at all, as well, how much does a person's present and past relating to their experience with discrimination and sexual violence play into this?
My overall point is that once the hormone therapy has begun and if we are to assume that quite a few transgender people might be unable to continue to afford or obtain hormones, or obtain them through other means then perhaps misuse them, how or where are these people to obtain help with some of these very serious issues?
And their fight for gender identity will always be fueled as long as discrimination and hate exist against them...
...and why does it put some people's nose out of joint to use the pronoun that a transgender person asks you to use...
isn't it a human right - isn't that just simple respect?
We have here some very complex social, psychological and medical issues here.

Well, having read through this thread and all the very ugly comments I now know why the Trans community do need protecting from the monsters. If I was forced to decide who is the biggest threat to freedom it is you lot.
Yes, bring on legislation to protect us from the thugs. You lot are the biggest threat to my freedom and I fight you every day. You are digging a grave, not for them, but for yourselves.
Honestly, look at what a mob you are. You are no better than the mobs Hitler conjured up with all his lies that led he and his followers to destruction. That is where you are heading. Your mob mentality will not be allowed to ruin the free societies we have. You will just make outcasts and criminals of yourselves behaving like this.
You made me feel sick reading through this. Too right those people need the law to protect them from you.

When all this first started gaining traction years ago, I really didn't think a whole lot about gender dysphoria issues. As the years went on, and I asked questions with genuine curiosity, it became abundantly clear that there are still issues that seem completely overlooked. Those issues do not seem to be addressed by currently accepted treatments, like surgeries, in any meaningful capacity.

So... we have to constantly hear about transgenders, but only in a positive context. They can never be mentioned in a negative context.
But if the VICTIM of a crime was transgender, THEN you damn well BETTER mention their transgender status no less than a dozen times in your report OR ELSE.
After years of society giving in to their delusions, they finally eventually snap... unless they have a firm enough grip on reality to begin with so that in some sense they know this is just pretend. Then they can maintain a presence in the real world and as long as that connection to reality is there, they should be ok for the most part. So that explains why a lot of them can live a normal life to some extent.
But not everyone has the ability to separate fantasy from reality when they are jumping back and forth on a daily basis. It takes a certain kind of person. Just like not everyone can make a good spy, or actor, or undercover cop, or other jobs that require you to play pretend. But some people can live double, even triple lives with very little to no problem. They can make that separation.
So... we have to constantly hear about transgenders, but only in a positive context. They can never be mentioned in a negative context.

Funny how the smallest group of people always make the loudest noise. Transgenders are like .00001 % of the population, yet we can't help but talk about them
