Title should be Woke pandering laws,. Woke is a different kettle of fish. Jenner is Republican. Support for trans issues is across the political spectrum.

Not in the US. There are a few Republican congressmen who have put forward a Republican version of the women-hating Equality Act, which the Republicans called the Fairness for All Act, but mostly transgender/gender demands are a Progressive cause in the US.

To the Progressives eternal shame. What is "progressive" about denying women the right to leave their homes for more than a few hours by denying them semi-secure spaces to go to the bathroom?

I am very angry.

You're confusing/conflating different topics.

SanityIsGC mentioned Jenner and Republicans, not Republican members of Congress or legislators. For quite a long time, many TIMs in the USA have been Republican Party members, Republican voters and even influential Republican funders: Kirsten Beck, Zoey Tur, Jennifer Pritzker and a host of others.

I think SanityIsGC is correct in saying that in general in the US

Support for trans issues is across the political spectrum.

As trans demands have become more unreasonable and aggressive, and more and more people have started to twig to the daftness and dangers of this movement, an increasing number of Republican voters, party members and legislators appear to be coming out in opposition to the trans agenda.

However, in the US the trans agenda has gotten support "across the political spectrum" for many years because it is a movement that at its heart is about male libertinism, and its main backers and drivers are autogynephilic heterosexual male cross-dressers in middle age and older who have great deal of power & $$, and many of whom served in the military.

As Amy Bloom made clear when she wrote "Conservative Men in Conservative Dresses" nearly 20 years ago.

Sorry to be less than specific - I meant politicians and I meant now.

Yes, totally agree- some of the funders of trans issues are Republicans, as are some prominent transgenders, but in terms of politics right now, and in terms of the legislation introduced in federal, state and local areas, it seems to me to be (and I haven't tracked it all, this is just from what I myself have noticed) Democratic politicians for the most part support the gender agenda and Republican politicians are the ones pushing back.

But I'm an equal opportunity hater of misogynists (!) so outside of the Fairness for All Act, do you know what gender ideology legislation Republicans have introduced, because I want to make sure that we lobby against it too?
