BTW, Biden has already said that on his first day in office he will

reinstate the Obama-Biden (Title IX) guidance revoked by the Trump-Pence administration, which will restore transgender students' access to sports, bathrooms and locker rooms in accordance with their gender identity.

What's more, he's gonna crack down on everyone who doesn't think this policy is fair too:

He will direct his Department of Education to vigorously enforce and investigate violations of transgender students' civil rights.

(Note the worrying way the Dept of Ed is called "his" rather than "the")

No mention of the civil rights of any other students, and the way transgenderism tramples on them. Trans students don't just come first - they are the only ones who appear in Biden's field of vision and register on his radar. To him, female students are invisible.

What the most scary in this, is that USA are always exporting their politics and ideas to other countries, so this will mean that it will be pushed in many other countries as well. We already had their hand (maybe even Baiden actually, as they had here some corruption scandals and some questionable fundings) in funding trans lobbies here in Ukraine, and they started coming from homophobic side "make your kid straight" (and for me, as lesbian, this means society can be returned back to post-USSR age, when I was fired from jobs and beaten by classmates for being lesbian, I hope people will think more than in USA, as our language just not allows this word-play bullsh*t that English allows).

And this too, with erasure of women: https://twitter.com/AlessandraAster/status/1325524037628522497

and investigate violations of transgender students' civil rights.

They will punish girls for not wanting boys with errected penises who are "just started transitioning" in their shared school/university showers/toilets?

This. Lately, I've seen many American women getting angry with foreigners who are not thrilled with Biden's win. It's like they don't understand how influential their own country is. Biden will push the TRA agenda in many other countries besides the US.

Here is an news article where Biden says he will continue the age-long American tradition of lecturing other countries about human rights.

Edit: Also, I think several of us are puzzled about how many American women are so conviced the Democrats care about women's rights and they just don't have all the facts about the Equality Act and TRA.

I saw such post on Ovarit. They were like "Trump wasn't good for us, Baiden will be slightly better", and were ignoring that Trump was mostly bad for USA only (and, well, he was empowering China, which was bad for some regions of Asia, but that's it), while Baiden will be "a bit better" for USA, but much-much worse everywhere else. And everyone who disagreed were downvoted (I still think adding downvotes was a bad idea, as instead of people making an argument - they just putting "minus one" instead).

Edit

What I've seen (on Twitter and Ovarit) is that they are saying "Baiden at least can be reasoned, while Trump will not listen for sure".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wfp7Jhd41aU . This is the only YT clip I can find right now - but it shows exactly who Biden is.

(The question is asked around ~30 seconds into the video).

Yes, all the women I've seen in GC circles who lean toward Trump are from UK, Canada, etc... places where trans laws have already gone too far, and we're all trying to warn US women not to go down that road because once the US goes down the trans rabbit-hole it'll be harder for the rest of us to scale it back. But many American women are completely set on Biden being better for women than Trump.

Posie Parker is a good example. She's very anti-Biden and said she'd vote for Trump if she were American despite being pro-choice and liberal-leaning all her life.

edit: Or who knows, maybe if the USA goes full TRA it'll peak a lot more people and things will push back. Maybe next year if a bunch of trans laws are passed followed by trans-women entering the Olympics, we'll see some major peaking. I'm not super hopeful though considering how much the media drooled over the "stunning and brave transwomen" who were elected this past week.

I am saying my own opinions here.

I believe a large percentage of US women who either vote Republican, or are willing to consider, research, and vote any/all parties on their ballot, are persons who may be less likely to announce their vote in public forums. Or, perhaps it is a function of age, or regional customs.

Casting one's vote has traditionally been a private issue. I remember the large, metal, mobile, voting booths which had mechanical curtains that would close via a large lever to set the machine to vote. After selections were made, the large lever was thrown back to the original position, logging the votes and opening the curtain. Even today, in my region, cardboard tabletop "cubicles" are set up for privacy. I know my own opinions on discussing my votes casts have been heavily influenced by my mother, who had me with her in the booth when she voted until I was old enough to look out for my own safety (13 yo?). She emphasized the importance of voting, women's history, and how she evaded my father's influence on, and inquiries of, her votes. ;)

I am most grateful women from UK and Canada have spoken up and worked to keep women from being erased and used/abused. Personally, I believe women are DONE if we have no language, visibility, or respect. I try to imagine (especially political) trends and movements to their potential conclusions, and this "gender not sex" protections threat is TERRIFYING. Evil people do exist, and women themselves MUST admit dystopia IS possible, nah, I submit: probable.

I wonder WHY his stance on abortion wasn't questioned during the debates... it's almost as if they do (mostly) the bidding of the Democrat party.

You're not liberal if you 'like' Biden. In the age of police protests - he was saying he will INCREASE funding. He picks a running mate who LITERALLY kept innocent men in jail - and extended prison terms - TO KEEP SLAVE LABOR GOING!!!! (BuT sHeS bLaCkKk!!!! - MSM)

He is the creator of the 90's "Crime bill" that overly increased incarceration and maximized sentences, including nonviolent offences like selling weed, and until he was running in 2020, he never once said he was sorry for it.

"we do everything but hang people for jaywalking" - Joe biden, 1994ish I think.

And lets ignore that he helped kill 10s of thousands of innocent women and children. They are neoliberal monsters and they are no better than Bush, and its a COMPLETE shame that the democrat party considers EITHER of them heroes in 2020.

I dont want a VP who got there from sleeping with her misogynist boss - the party is corrupt to the core.

Almost as if Biden has a personal interest in this kind of scenario becoming acceptable.

Only thing I can think why - are either Pharma lobby or paedo lobby. Most likely both.

I tend to think that it's a combination of the following:

  • Seeing this as a do-over for missing the boat on LGB rights. Most Democrats assumed that unapologetic homophobia would always be the public's default setting, and thus spent years tip-toeing around it with things like "civil unions", the so-called Defense of Marriage Act, and "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"... until popular opinion suddenly did a 180 and their "safe" position no longer was. (Sure, Biden spoke out in support of marriage equality before Obama did, but that was still long after the tide had already turned.) They don't want to be wrong (or caught flat-footed) again. Of course this isn't Gay Rights 2: The Sequel at all, so where did they get that idea? Why, from all the major LGB organizations telling them that trans = gay, that's where.
  • Family loyalty. And to a beloved son who died tragically, at that. Among Beau Biden's friends was trans woman Sarah McBride, who became a de facto member of the family through him. And if Beau thought that McBride was OK, then how can "her" cause ("trans rights") be wrong? Or at least Beau's dad might naturally tend to make that assumption.
  • Not wanting to seem out of touch. Hey, "trans rights" is what all the kids are doing! Biden's no spring chicken, and he knows it. This may look like just staying current to him. And any doubts could be chalked up to, "I'm old and set in my ways, that's all; young people have no problem with it-- try to be more like them!"

If true, it might mean that Biden isn't ride-or-die for genderism, and facts have a chance with him... but I'm aware that this might just be wishful thinking.

Joe Biden wrote the introduction to Sarah McBride's autobiography.

I would doubt that, his Wife's husband at the time he met her has claimed that Joe ended their marriage - and he fought fervently for the war in iraq (in the 90's!), he deported MORE people than Trump! And he voted to overturn Roe v Wade via the states in an amendment.

Joe Biden is further right of George W. Bush. And he will 'listen to the scientists' but increase fracking (ʕ ‾ ʖ̫ ‾)ʔ...

Transhumanism has a huge lobby behind it— tons of money. Biden and his ilk have sold women out for campaign support.

Oppressing women is probably one of their main goals. Can’t create a sci-fi dystopia without harvesting women’s organs, surrogacy, sex work, eradicating maternal rights and experimenting on children.

I can’t think of why else women’s rights have been so heavily targeted in “developed” nations so quickly, and how almost all social media and internet platforms have gone on a banning spree/attacking women. I think wearing us down via psychological warfare is also part of their goal. Biden and other politicians are useful tools they use to reach their goals.

Yeah, wait till all those suburban Republican women who voted for Biden start to digest this crap, when it's their daughters having to compete with someone else's special snowflake son. sure, wait til their "internal polling" brings this to light. Maybe around midterms. Yeah, maybe try pumping the brakes, Biden.
