It's just an issue pushed by MSM to divide Americans, objectively people should be able to do what they want with their bodies in the privacy of their own home.

no, it’s an issue pushed by republicans lol. Of the ~900 anti trans bills introduced in 2025 90% of them were introduced by republicans. Texas alone introduced 100+.

CA makes a bunch of anti gun bills, doesn't mean that they're actually representing their constituents in doing so

okay, but they did get elected campaigning on anti trans stuff so… there’s that. But more importantly, according to a gallop poll 9 out of 10 republicans are against transgender legislation. So in this case yes they are. YOU may not care, but as someone who talks about politics every day in person and online, it’s probably the second or third biggest issue for republicans behind immigration and abortion.

If 9 out of 10 are against it, then why is it an issue?

Anonymous OP 3w

Wouldn't that say that most don't actually care and it is just an issue used to further divide that 1 out of 10?

let me rephrase: nine in ten Republicans oppose policies like allowing transgender athletes to compete according to gender identity and prefer sex at birth be used for IDs/sports- gallop

so no the significant majority do care, but even if they didn’t. The Politicians they elected are spending all of their time like they do.

Explain to me why, as someone who doesn't really care about trans people one way or the other, I should think you deserve special protections in private sporting leagues and specialized identification.

Anonymous #1 3w

no one’s arguing for anything special, just the ability for transgender people to engage and identify with the gender of their choice. They in no way get any special exemptions, rewards or privileges.

Should I, as a man, be able to engage in women's sports if I want to? Do these bills also include that?

Anonymous #1 3w

there have been roughly 10x as many bills outlawing transgender athletes to compete in any way as there have been pro trans bills. but my point is that this is a non-issue. Like if you personally want to discuss transgender sporting legislation, totally cool with that. My problem is that that is literally the only thing that is being discussed while the value of the american dollar dropped 10% this year already.

like let me reiterate, there are less than 500 transgender collegiate athletes total. Do you think that this issue is big enough for 900 bills to be written?

Anonymous OP 3w

Well my point is that if biological men and women can't go to the other leagues in the same manner, it is actually a specialized privilege. I still don't think it's a necessary one either.

Like I said, I really do not care about this and agree that its a non issue

but at the same time, you are arguing that there is a reason for these bills to be introduced. So yes, you are in fact concerned about it on some level.

Anonymous OP 3w

No I still don't really think its an important issue, in fact I said in my most recent comment I agree it is a non issue. There definitely shouldn't be government regulation in private sporting leagues over it either, if the leagues want them to play then fine, if they don't then fine.

Despite the Trump admin not being as 2A friendly as they claim (which btw I didn't vote for Trump and saw coming a mile away), the democrats still want to disarm you.

OK, but you do have an issue with the Republican administration’s response to the Alex pretty killing right? Like the fucking NRA had an issue with it.

Yes, but its a problem with FLEO violence/brutality that I've held long before Trump even came into office

do you genuinely believe they want to disarm you completely? I think that’s a bit nonsensical. Yes they want to Ban assault rifles and place higher barriers of entry entry, but I don’t think there’s any politicians called for straight up disarmament

Assault weapons bans. They almost always ban all standard capacity magazines.

Who specifically wants to Ban which Gun. Also, you know that stripping you have one type of gun isn’t disarmament right? It is a restriction and infringement that is a debate to have, but it’s not disarmament. You can still buy weapons.

Let's put it this way. If I told you that you could not say one specific phrase (make it Free Palestine), would that be a restriction on your free speech?

What if I called it an "assault phrase"?

i mean you know we do have those right? you can’t say I want to kill the president. You can’t say discuss any sort of specific plots to kill the president. and You can’t yell fire or anything that would cause a frenzy in a highly crowded area when it’s not warranted. So yes, but we do have those

Anonymous OP 3w

Well actually using your words to kill someone is more akin to murdering someone with a gun than owning a specific type of gun without harming anyone.

I can explain the metaphor further if you don't understand it, just let me know

Anonymous #1 3w

no offense, bro, but it just isn’t a good metaphor. Like I understand what you’re saying, but it’s actually the entire argument for gun control. We as a society have come to understand absolute freedom, and absolute safety cannot coexist. You have to have limits on them for them both to be real. Like background checks waiting periods, all these things are restrictions and infringement on the second amendment that we do already have that I feel most people believe our positive things for society.

All that to say the argument that it’s in the constitution it can’t be in fringe just isn’t legally sound because we infringe the constitution all the time. You have to specifically argue the merits of protecting this liberty.

what do you mean by free to do something? Because having unregistered firearms in most cases is illegal. I am aware that there are loopholes you can drive a truck through and I’m assuming you’re exploiting them but be 100% honest with me do you believe that America would benefit from all of the crazy people out there having unfettered access to any guns that they want? And before you say a good guy beats a bad guy with a gun every time think about collateral.
