So, an LGBTQ+ registry next? And compulsory badges? Americans, it’s time to fight back.

I just hope it’s not people inspired by Poilievre’s promise that he can do for Canada what Trump is doing for the USA.

At least until you have time to build up your military again.

You’ve got fascists in charge. It’s going to be a hard fight to keep any kind of free press or broadcasting going.

Pete Hegseth is going to be needing a job soon.

This administration’s whole schtick is cruelty porn for the white supremacist hate cult.

Also as jobs become the new abnormal.

An LFO modulating the stock market.

Why are they trying so hard to prove it, if it’s the obvious truth?

It’s unclear, and quite important, who you mean by “they” here.

Yes, the response to a child predator who says “But I’m trans!” should be “So what?” It’s irrelevant to the matter of trans rights, as you say.

Even as a white man, I’ll be happier living in a society where everyone else doesn’t have to suffer.

They’re working on the notion of a concept of a plan.

As an old white man, I completely agree. It’s not always easy to change old habits, but people’s refusal to even try is infuriating.

Good question.

I was just pointing out that whether you use women’s bathrooms or men’s, the same point applies: this concern about the genitals of the person in the next stall is a weird non-problem cooked up by bigots, yet the politicians scramble to appease them.

Yep, and we get this headline too today:

Starmer does not believe trans women are women, No 10 says

They’ve out-Blaired Blair and out-Toried the Tories.

Then when was the last time you looked down a man’s pants in a public toilet, to check they had the approved genitals?

Pandering to the most awful bigots in the country is an awful thing to do. This is a spineless government with no principles other than “don’t offend the right wing”.

While men mostly don’t mind if a woman runs in man toilet, women can be really angry at men running into theirs.

If that were the rationale, it would make no sense to rule that trans women must use the men’s toilet and trans men must use the women’s. That’s a recipe for exactly the discomfort you describe.

Amazing how resistant people are to this, and to any suggestion that beef intake should be reduced.
