I'm puzzled by the Democrats all out crusade on trying to get men to be seen as "real women" (whatever real means to them) & the pushing of males into females spaces. I'm not a Democrat or a Republican, but a registered Independent. I've always hated the two-party system & thought we needed a serious change (still do), but I would've never thought the Democrats would be so all in on this trans nonsense. It's definitely something sinister & bigger at play here. I have my thoughts, but don't want to get into "conspiracy theories", but I really believe the information that I have gather & research into the money behind this whole trans climate that we're being inundated into.

I think this is just about power. Where do women, as a class, differ from men functionally, if we don't differ in material ways like having a uterus or ovaries? Well, on average we're smaller, weaker, slower, less physically robust, need more frequent contact with medical providers, need more societal protection of our physicality. If you redefine the class of women to include people who are actually male, you distort the statistical curve of any feature that affects our class. In fact you erase the physical differences that vary on a continuum. Thus we have males able to defeat (with ease!) females in running, cycling, etc, and the rationalization: "some women are really tall/really strong/really fast, so what's the big deal?" as if females who have similar features as males are not extremely rare in our sex class. What is the overall societal effect of this? It takes away protection and resources from those of us who, because of our biological femaleness, are smaller, weaker, slower, and erases the evidence that we even need that protection. It solidifies power in the hands of the powerful.

Everything about this is really about power.
