So interesting that this is like a global conversation. Trans people have existed, gender affirming care has been possible for 100+ years, but even the pretty right wing authoritarian Russia only banned it after it became an issue in the US, which only really happened after Obergefell in 2015 ended the gay marriage debate in the US.

I'm open to other ideas for why this became an issue. Not sure the 2018 changes to the ISD would be classified as cause or effect of the US debate.

It became a thing because right wingers need someone to blame. Conservatism only works when there's an "other" group to blame for all your problems. It's been the Jews, BIPOC, gay people, and now it's trans people.

So left never blame right?

Dont make me laugh.

No, the left does not call for conservatives to lose all health care and to be imprisoned. They do not actively pass laws in socialist countries to take the rights away from conservatives.

You are confusing political ideology with gender.

Ohhh now suddenly left has higher moral standard.

Hah.

Yeah, they blame the right instead of Jews, Muslims, gays, trans people, and whoever else is this week's enemy.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So, left do blame something.

Finally!

Way to entirely miss the point!

To spell it out plainly, one group are people trying to live and breath. The other group is attacking those people for the crime of trying to live and breath.

Which of these sounds like an actual problem?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Trying to live and breath and also forcing other sides to do the same way of live

That is how to spell the situation

Who tried to convince you to be gay?

If you think it's a choice, well lol, that's a sign of repression.

Oh please, another stupid question.

"who force you to be sick?"

"Who told you to be mentally ill?"

No different than who convince you to be gay.

Western society is confusing themselves. Glad to see Eastern don't accept this kind of idiocy.
