The directive, which continues the Trump administration’s efforts to curb transgender rights, could end school-based mental health services and support for homeless students.
Why is dictating gender the government’s business? Where are all the Republicans who always objected to the government intruding into people’s lives? Was it all bullshit from all of them? Was there not a single Republican for whom this was more than a veiled demand that they be allowed to be a bigot and an asshole?
And where are the protests over this? Think how tough transgender people have it, and how much tougher the Nazi government is making it for them. Think how this is denying people basic rights. There should be mass protests in support of transgender rights. There’s so much irrational hatred and cruelty. All of us who can see the inhumanity should be doing something, even some little thing, to help trans people and obstruct this program of cruelty designed to drive people to despair.
Fiscal conservatism / small government = cutting benefits for poor people and minorities
States rights = allowing states to harm minorities through segregation and slavery. Only applies if the state level action harms poor people and minorities (then the federal government kicks in)
Freedom of speech = conservatives can say whatever they want without consequences; minorities get cancelled or much worse.
Keeping government out of the bedroom - conservatives can marry their child brides; the rest lose access to abortions and porn and eventually contraception and gay and interracial marriage.
The issue with this is using logic against them, it won’t work. When it’s them it’s not the same because “they’re in the right”, or they blatantly know they are doing it and say it’s because others would do it to them anyway.
This isn’t something that is going to be won intellectuality

Yep, it’s all bullshit. A simple translation:
Fiscal conservatism / small government = cutting benefits for poor people and minorities
States rights = allowing states to harm minorities through segregation and slavery. Only applies if the state level action harms poor people and minorities (then the federal government kicks in)
Freedom of speech = conservatives can say whatever they want without consequences; minorities get cancelled or much worse.

Yes.
