I want the government to protect me from the dumb fucks that actually do want the government to dictate how I should live my life. It's the pieces of human garbage that want to tell men they can't marry another man, that tell women they don't have autonomy over their own body, that want to stop the teaching of the theory of evolution and include prayer in school, that want to dictate others' lives.
Those calling for more rights aren't asking for the government to dictate anyone's lives. They're literally doing the opposite of that.
Enforcing policy is dictating lives though, how about just use a different name for marriage and do a different ritual? Unless that's only if you actually only care for inheritance laws.
2010 called. They want their dumb, regressive talking points back
I'd prefer a rational discussion rather than emotional irrationality
You may not be as rational or smart as you think you are.
Never claimed to be
It doesn't sound like you're being rational. It sounds more like you're being facetious when you say things like "enforcing policy is dictating lives." By this we can imply that you believe murder is a right. Theft is a right. Rape is a right.
No I don't, you shouldn't jump to assumptions
Well then how do you propose to stop these things from being reality if you are not for the enforcement of policy?
Don't antagoniste, cause harm or do violence to others.
So you want a separate name and ritual for people who aren't like you want them to be, and expect everyone to believe that it will be equal?
No. Everyone knows how "separate but equal" pans out in the "equal" department.
It's not an infringement of your rights to stop you from beating/killing people you don't like. It's not an infringement of your rights to allow others to do things you don't want to do yourself.
How about people just treat each better than forcing it on people by the state.
We tried that, several times, each time the south did something stupid like dredd Scott or Jim crow or the kkk.
The only way to stop them from trying to keep brown people as pets was to send soldiers, they don't understand any other language.
It's sad you think like that
They don't though, otherwise there would be no need for a justice system altogether. There are "people" out there that have wet dreams of lgbt people being incriminated and women having less rights than men, the rest of society should be protected from them instead of putting them in government positions.
So much for a rational discussion. Great showing for yourself and others with similar beliefs.
Well growing up a lot of issues where largely solved and nowadays people are bored and result to going on twitter complaining about a brand image looking for and nitpicking problems were there is none.
That's some exceptional mental gymnastics right there, keep thinking like that and you'll go far
That's what laws seek to do because people clearly don't do it on their own, dumbass. Be good to others, or face punishment. It's not fucking rocket science here.
No it's not but you should be genuinely good and not down the barrel of a gun with coercion or threats.
I'm going to guess you're Christian. I'm also going to guess you don't see one bit of irony with your statement.
No I'm an atheist, if you need religion or a belief system to be a good person then you must be a terrible person.
Giving trans people the right to healthcare only affects their lives. So tell me again how this terrible government overreach occurs when we say “you can’t make laws to restrict someone’s freedom”?
You can’t, because it doesn’t.
Trans people have the same "right" to healthcare as every other American.
