A group having rights does not take rights away from you. It's not pie.
May I introduce you to Christians? Or how about the GOP? MAGA would like to also have a word. I could go on…
Why keep focusing on a single group?
"Part of my religion is forced evangelism. The government getting in the way of me forcing my religion on others violates my Freedom of Religion."
Also, a group having pie does not take pie away from you. It's not unobtanium.
Nope, but it does work toward balancing the scales of power, and christian cis white men hate that with a passion, and they conflate any perceived loss of power with oppression.
This is one of the things that bother me with people being anti-trans. Why the hell do they care? There is nothing, NOTHING that trans people are asking for that bother me, because it does not affect my life. I don't see how it affects theirs either.
There are two things I know little about when it comes to trans.
How to make it fair in sports, but I really don't care for sports. So I haven't researched it. Don't really care if they participate, but I don't take sports seriously anyways.
How to protect vulnerable people from themselves. This is probably contraversial, but I am for giving trans people the treatment they need to transition, or at least make sure it is possible at a later stage by giving hormones / blockers. So that they can transition a bit older.
However (the controversial part) many trans people are vulnerable and also struggle with other issues and operations is often permanent. This is something that I don't believe is easy to decide, I am ignorant here, I trust medical professionals, psychologists, psychiatrists and the trans community to come up with guidelines / practice here. It is however not something that I think politicians should decide, or is competent in deciding.
The only reason I care about point 2 is to protect people from mistakes, not to stop trans people from transitioning!
Thanks for reading my rant 😊

I personally don't think sports should be gendered, but people should be placed in different "leagues".
Similar to how chess players with similar ratings play with each other.
Atheletes should be categorized by skill, regardless of gender.
Fun fact, a recent study reported that cis women have an advantage over trans women in sports due to their higher testosterone levels allowing them to build more muscle mass.
You know, the same argument transphobes use against letting trans people be athletes because of their supposed "biological advantage."
Which is the same one that's been used for almost a century now to ban black women from women's sports due to their naturally higher testosterone levels when compared to white women.
As if they give a shit about science. They only use it when the results match their worldview. Otherwise they just ignore it.
Accurate.
Glad they finally got around to proving that. It's been obvious in a theoretical sense for a long time.
Fun fact, a recent study reported that cis women have an advantage over trans women in sports due to their higher testosterone levels allowing them to build more muscle mass.
It's more nuanced than that. It depends on how long you've lived as a male before transitioning and how long ago you transitioned. Also not all trans people are taking hormones.
How long you've been taking hormones is the important part. How long you've lived as amab only really matters until a certain point, as it's very difficult to maintain muscle mass from before you started hormones. And afab people have to build up muscle mass even when they start taking testosterone.
And yes, not every trans person is taking hormones or even will. But I have yet to hear of a single example of a trans person in regulated sports who wasn't competing in the division of their gender while on HRT. Even the preteen kids were on puberty blockers.
Did you think about: They’re icky?
… 🙄
Also if someone could link where I could get one of these stickers that’d be great :)

There’s some good shit in this store. I got the MAGA stickers.
Thank you!!! These are good shit!
They only care because they were told to care. It’s a distraction and satisfies their desire to punch down on vulnerable people. They are spineless cucks who want daddy trump to tell them what to think.
Yeah, I'll be honest and say that I do not understand what it means to be transgender. And I will never understand. It doesn't matter how many trans friends I have or how many times people try to explain it to me. I won't ever fully get it.
But why in the ever living fuck should it matter whether or not I get it? Just let people live how they want to live!! I don't understand why it's so complicated for Christian fundies to understand that. How in the world are trans people harming anyone by existing? You don't have to "get it" to understand that people just want to live their fucking lives in peace.
One of the biggest things people bring up is the sports issue, like you said. To people's credit, I actually don't think there's a great solution to the sports problem. But pro athlete trans people make up only a tiny fraction of trans people so I don't understand why it should randomly be used to invalidate all trans people.
It does something negative to my life- namely it makes me very scared for their safety. Especially in the U.S.
But that is not their fault. It's the fault of the bigots who hate them for existing.
This meme is great because the end part of the slogan is so versatile
Happy cake day you crybaby bitch!
Aw thanks cunt
😄 Australian?
Whenever someone ends their sentence with ", cunt!" I always read it in an Australian accent, and I may or may not add a "ya" before the "cunt".
Put it on your car and take another picture to show that you did. Being an ally for internet clout isn't enough. Sorry for posting a bunch on a single thread, I guess I kinda care a lot about this.
It's fine to post a meme without following your orders. Jesus Christ.
Oh wow I saw this bumper sticker in the wild yesterday and I couldn't tell what the image on the left was.
A transformer
You sure? It look like a Warhammer Character.
Chaos space marine from 40k, yes.
Funny, I was just checking the comments to see what is was. I see Fallout brotherhood of steel knight guy in power armor, but idk about the thing on the left
I feel like I should tattoo the verses they seem to ignore on their foreheads backwards so they have to see it every time they look in the mirror: Love thy neighbor as thyself and Judge not lest ye be judged. Hypocrites.
You can order these online. Here's mine:
Is the use of what looks like the Black Legion because they are trans humans? They are very much a danger to humans. Or is the Emperor here a symbol of intolerance.
Even tho' I agree with the sentiment of the sticker.. Tbh in a real life situation I will side with the Emperor every time as it in the lore is the only thing that stops my soul from being devoured by warp spawn when I die. Fuck traitor space Marines.
Yeah, I take great offence at the use of Black Legions for this otherwise nice message.
And this belongs here why?
I love how y'all just keep outing yourselves
B-b-but one trans woman won a sport once!!!!!!!
Not a meme
If you would like your own you can find "punk with a camera" online or at many large punk rock events in the US. He produces these as bumper stickers and t-shirts. He has other great designs as well.
I especially like the crybaby bitch in the end which makes sure the people this is directed at just double down on their stance. Perfect example of what's wrong with U.S. politics.
Also not a meme.
Oh, look, it's a crybaby bitch!
well, if trans people didn't exist, I wouldn't have been called a crybaby bitch, which is something negative
Car:"key me"
Bigot: "Well, if you insist..."
