How tf do you go too far with trans rights? Either they exist and should be protected legally or they don't.

They do exist and should be codified legally to end all this discrimination.

It's utterly absurd to claim that you can go too far on validating a groups rights.

The democratic party has wholly abdicated it's responsibility to lead an push back on the Republicans on this issue. They should have started countering the narrative and improving education a decade ago when these attacks started. Instead they chose to bury their heads in the sand, avoid taking a position on anything, and relied on Biden to write executive orders that are immediately overturned when he left office.

Eve was made from XY genetic material (a rib from Adam), but she was female. Therefore Eve was trans.

Why are you assuming Adam had XY? Even if they both had XY, Eve could have complete androgen insensitivity for example.

All we can say is that they one of them is intersex or trans, but we don't know who.

Like from Ashnikko's new song,

"God made Adam and Eve AND Steve! Why're we not all kissing each other, this is absurd!"

Nancy Mace can go back to the 80s if she wants, but she's getting left behind if she can't find her place in the new world. We are moving on with or without her.

All those anti-trans LGBs, like Martina Navratilova, allied themselves with people that want to erase the entire LGBTQ+ community. Back in the 1990s people like Anita Bryant and Jerry Falwell were against research for a cure for “gay disease,” what we call AIDs. Bryant said that since gays couldn’t reproduce they had to recruit children to their “lifestyle.” All the ugliness and bigotry of that time are back again on steroids by the Trump regime. A threat to any member of our LGBTQ+ community is a threat to us all.

Martina blocked me on Twitter because she couldn't finish the debate she started, she just wants to rant there and have an echo chamber, I didn't make it personal but I took on the issue she brought up, and she ran away. Maybe her complaints about being told to "stick to tennis" only show why they said it to her. Just a sad loser.

Sadder still that Renee Richards, a trans woman, was her coach during her early tennis career.

Not in debate, but maybe she really should "stick to tennis".

And of course she is. As was predicted. This is what the MAGA Fascists have wanted for years, and now they are pushing to get it. Marriage equality is on the chopping block, say bye-bye to it. But it will be much worse that just some states not allowing same sex unions, those state that outlaw it will also move to invalidate existing marriages and make same sex unions illegal, you know sodomy laws.

Yes, of course, it's the next step! Anyone who didn't see this coming is either willfully naive or dangerously naive.

I can only presume that. They're being so aggressive, so fast, it seems like Hitler 2.0. And if it seems that way, I treat it that way.

Kudos to Nancy Mace for her continued dedication to being an abhorrent and hate-filled human being.

I want to sympathize with her story of surviving SA - but she makes it hard, when she ASSumes Charlie Kirk's assassin was a "[T-slur]" when the facts were only beginning to be gathered, and has done other similar things publicly. I'm not saying I can't relate to her being upset about Kirk's death, I get it to that extent, but he was no hero, he was unwise beyond his years and made a career out of dividing people, he shouldn't have been killed but then again he might've become more dangerous as time went on, he was a threat to honest dialogue on these issues, and so is Mace, at the end of the day.

Something is seriously wrong with Nancy Mace. We all have a finite amount of time on this planet to live our lives, and she is choosing to spend her precious hours, weeks, months, and years on earth being an asshole to transgender people as well as the broader LGBTTQIA+ community. Shame on her! What a useless way to spend her time!

Mace is nothing but an ignorant self serving hypocrite. She will go anyway the wind blows. She will also look for anyway to get attention regardless of who is on the other end. What an ass.

I'm left to think the same when she would claim to be down, before, only to become outspokenly a phobe.

When Adam was first presented with another human, his immediate reaction was:

"Whoa, Man... you look good!"

For millennia, this was recorded as "Woman." A fundamental, generational error that has poorly influenced society by creating an oligarchy of sex.

The truth, however, is that Adam, seeing an equal who simply looked a little different, complimented them not on their differences, but on their attraction to them.

You see, to Adam, Eve was simply another (albeit attractive) "Man."

Adam and Eve both understood "Mankind" includes all kinds, and excludes none. To this day, many, such as myself, still see things the same way. Sex is a thing we might do; sex is not who we are. We each are individual, amongst other individuals.

Why are females and males different?

Answer: Because every body is different.

A great philosophical, and practical, point.

Professional attention addict Nancy Mace swears if no one gives her attention, she’ll self harm; proceeds to paint her nails black and blast My Chemical Romance.

Onlookers say if the members of her district ever grow out of their humiliation fetish, she could always try making a website.

“Weirdos will pay good money to see this kind of willing self-debasement.”

I really hope that a bisexual person comments on Nancy Mace’s “Adam and Eve! Not Adam and Steve!” with the classic line: “God said Adam and Eve, so I did both!“ 🤣 🩷 💜 🩵

I’m always amused that these bigoted reprobates expect us to believe that their lives are entirely devoted to a homeless and uncomely Jew.

To them, Trump is Jesus, I don't exist. I've not made it a secret what my positions are, and Jesus said that God gives me his "seal of approval" as it's translated, in the Bible itself, they are Satanists, Nazis, not Christian at all, I don't even call it "Christian in name only", it's beyond that, it's substituting Satan for God and Trump for Jesus.

"Even some Democrats are starting to bemoan that we’ve gone “too far” too fast on equal rights for trans people."

We've seen transmedical transgender people like Veronica Erin say the same here, and apparently the likes of Sarah McBride to the world . . .

I'm disturbed by transmedicalism because it denies that trans people are who they are unless they submit to something they may not desire, does it help people, some yes, but to suggest they ever were their assigned sex is transphobic and moreover a threat to their personal health and well-being, they deserve acceptance without regard to their decisions on GAC.

I hate it that you even have to explain this. They will come for all of us not just all non-straight folks (and also POC and women who do something besides procreate) if they can.
