Here's the Libertarian Party platform on LGBT from its site.

I am almost positive that I saw video of Libertarian presidential candidate Jo Jorgensen voicing support for transgenders to be considered the sex they choose, but I can't find it.

"1.4 Personal Relationships

Sexual orientation, preference, gender, or gender identity should have no impact on the government’s treatment of individuals, such as in current marriage, child custody, adoption, immigration, or military service laws. Government does not have the authority to define, promote, license, or restrict personal relationships, regardless of the number of participants. Consenting adults should be free to choose their own sexual practices and personal relationships. Until such time as the government stops its illegitimate practice of marriage licensing, such licenses must be granted to all consenting adults who apply."

Ya, that sounds about right for libertarianism. Women are screwed.

I have many Libertarian tendencies, but then I think of what the results would be in real life and go NOPE.

Look at the Libertarians' platform: it does not take into account that allowing gender identity to have the same legal status as sex will completely screw women (and gay men).

And of course the Libertarian platform doesn't even use the word "sex" - so out the gate they've already discarded the reality of biological sex in favor of gender woo-woo.

Ya. I feel politically homeless.
