Regardless, make sure you vote this election. I'm not a fan of Biden but there are significantly more pressing matters than this. We can't afford another 4 years of Trump.

That's your opinion. I know a number of parents and some young people who feel differently.

Punishing young people for not conforming to the rigid, regressive sex stereotypes held by their parents and other adults by telling the kids they are of the opposite sex, then putting them on health-destroying drugs that will sterilize them, stunt their physical and psychological development, rob them of the ability to experience libido and sexual pleasure, cause them to lose 8-9 IQ points, leave them with early onset osteoporosis and so on seems like it's a pretty pressing matter.

This seems a pressing matter also to all those who care about the female inmates in the California prison system who are now going to be forced to spend their time in prison locked up with male convicts, including sex criminals - and to the woman (women?) who've filed suits after being raped by a TIM who was placed in a women's prison in Illinois.

It sure seems a pressing matter to all the girls and women losing out on sports scholarships, awards, sponsorships and opportunities coz males are now being allowed to identify into girls and women's sports in the US.

It's definitely a pressing matter to all the elderly, disabled, and very ill girls and women in the US who have lost, or are losing, the right to get intimate care (such as help with bathing, toileting, menstruation, genital care, gynecological issues) in hospital, long-term facilities or at home only from female health care workers.

It's definitely a pressing matter to the homeless women being forced to share shelter provision with men who harass them, hit on them, spy on them, expose their dicks to them, menace them - and who at night have to try to relax and get to sleep whilst the men in nearby bunks furiously masturbate while watching porn on their phones. As was detailed recently by a shelter worker in Maine.

It's a pressing matter to me personally for a number of reasons. Including coz I am dependent on home care aides, but I live in a state where my desire and request for the health aides who come into my home be female is now considered "hate" and unlawful discrimination.

Why are views and policies that are already having a HUGE negative effect on the lives of confused children of both sexes, and on girls and women, not a pressing concern in your eyes? Why it is so easy to brush off the harm to real kids, real girls, real women and to women's rights?

It's not that I'm brushing off concerns stemming from this post, it's that this election has larger long term impacts looming. Right now, I'm more worried about the health of our nation (if you're also in the US) and the health of our planet than I am about trans stuff. COVID, health care, climate change, environmental regulations, the supreme court, etc. Get Trump and as many anti-science GOP members out of office first, worry about the rest next.

The point of my comment is that I don't want this one town hall question to be the reason GC people don't vote for Biden or don't vote blue down the ballot. The GOP is no friend to women's rights.

Thank you for clarifying. I've been a US voter since 1972, when my preferred presidential candidate was Shirley Chisholm, who was the first woman - and black person, IIRC - to run for the Democratic nomination. I was for many years very active in Dem politics. But the Democratic Party today is nothing like what it used to be in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. Under the Clintons and their ilk, it totally changed, abandoning the working class, civil rights and the values the Dems traditionally supported.

There used to be a vast difference between the two parties, but now they are both corrupt, run by and for elitist globalists, and totally in the pocket of big business, the investor class and the new oligarchs and tech monopolists. Yes, it's true the GOP is no friend to women's rights, neither IMO is today's Democratic Party.

Also, I am fed up after a whole lifetime of being told again and again not to put women's issues first, coz every election cycle and every fucking year it's always the case that "there are significantly more pressing matters" than women's and children's issues as you said. I am watching all the gains women of earlier generations worked hard for being swept aside for the new, totally pernicious ideology of trans male supremacy and genderism. I'm in the twilight of my life now, but things look far bleaker for women than when I was growing up in the 1960s.

I totally agree. When Biden said that children should be allowed to transition if they feel like it, my mouth gaped and I couldn’t in good conscience cast my vote for him. I haven’t decided what to do yet with my vote, I might just leave the President box blank.

What about the argument that the GOP is the devil I know? Isn’t it easier to fight what you know than to get backstabbed by those we call allies?
