“We can verify, the claim that Brown voted to let transgender biological men participate in women’s sports is false.”

Yeah, I can verify that no one has voted to let “transgender biological men” participate in any sports because that term is completely meaningless. It’s three words put together that don’t mean anything put together. Actually, just the last two words are meaningless. “Biological men” and “biological women” have absolutely no medical or scientific meaning. But they can’t say what they really mean because it would sound bigoted as hell and they know it.

Can you imagine framing an argument like that for black people? Or for women? “Look, women are just going to have to compromise on this abortion thing. For now, just live with it being illegal in a bunch of states. After all, it’s not illegal everywhere. Will get around to fixing this at some point.”

“Look, everyone thinks black people should have equal rights, but we just can’t extend that to healthcare in prison. If someone in prison has a heart attack, they’re just going to have to figure out a way to live with it. After all, it’s their fault they’re in prison in the first place.”

I know these are views MAGA conservatives support today anyway, but if a Democrat said anything like either of these, they would be rightfully criticized heavily. To the point where no Democrat would say that. But trans people? Who really cares? Fuck em.

I just can’t with these fucking people.

Jonathan Chait is a trolley who has been wrong about everything for decades.

Ok, I looked up who wrote this piece. He’s a fucking genius. Look at what he wrote in 2016:

In February 2016, Chait wrote a piece for New York magazine titled “Why Liberals Should Support a Trump Republican Nomination,” in which he predicted that a Trump presidency would develop similarly to the governorship of Arnold Schwarzenegger in California

He has some other gems, too, which are conveniently highlighted in his wikipedia page.

Or - to make it more personal for Chait - Jewish people. I’m sure he would have no problem with that argument.

He’s a conservative who makes believe he’s a liberal - that’s his marketing ploy.

We don’t actually have to imagine that, since that’s what they were saying right up to the Dobbs decision. That “compromising” on abortion was necessary to win over moderate voters. And here we are… then, of course, there was the moderate white during civil rights (GO SLOW!!!)… and on gay rights. And now trans people should give up some of their rights, according to these dipshits. They are unable to understand how it erodes their own rights and how it hurts others.

Conversion Therapy Org Files SCOTUS Amicus Saying Strep, Lyme, And Manga Make You Trans

The amicus brief is from Partners for Ethical Care, a group known for pushing conversion therapy practices.

That is beyond idiotic, on so many levels.

It simultaneously belittles the very real long term medical consequences of diseases like strep and Lyme’s and demonizes an artistic genre they don’t like (understand).

How did they ever become medical professionals?

The former president has been repeating various anti-trans messaging on the campaign trail, in some cases depicting hypothetical or unfounded scenarios about children getting an “operation” at school without parental permission – which physicians and educators say is not happening in any school.

Unfit to be dogcatcher. Fixated on othering a small population to target for extermination. Fascist to the core. Fully supported by the Republican party. MAGA gotta go, man.
