The only way it will stop is when the over 40 Lululemon crowd who got woke b/c of Trump and have now happily gone back to brunch have to start taking their teen daughters to urgent care or the hospital for sports related injuries caused by playing against males who will dominate on the field, court, ice, etc, or their girls don't make the cheer squad or dance team b/c the male members have to be included and there are only so many spots. That is when the will to stop this will arise.

Of course nothing about the feminist groups fighting against gender ideology.

Quotes: "South Dakota is just one of a growing number of states where Republicans are diving into a culture war clash that seems to have come out of nowhere. It has been brought about by a coordinated and poll-tested campaign by social conservative organizations like the American Principles Project and Concerned Women for America, which say they are determined to move forward with what may be one of their last footholds in the fight against expanding L.G.B.T.Q. rights."

"Limiting the rights of transgender people is an issue that has resonance with an increasingly small share of the overall population. A new study by the Public Religion Research Institute reported that only 7 percent of Americans were “completely against” pro-L.G.B.T.Q. policies. But it is a vocal group intent on showing that it can flex its power in the Republican Party."

a culture war clash that seems to have come out of nowhere.

Or the reality that's been suppressed by TRAs is finally getting talked about, especially now that they can frame is as an evil Alt-Right belief and lump anyone questioning the TRA agenda in with homophobes to discredit dissenters.

Obviously every LGB person drinks the TRA koolaid and if they don't their opinion isn't valid and there's something sinister involved. Fuck the ACLU and fuck Chase Strangio and all those who enable her delusions and homophobia.

It is really enraging that trans activists, and everyone enabling them, continue to hide behind LGB rights.

Males in women's sports has F ALL to do with gay rights, and claiming that it does will only engender a backlash that will set back LGB acceptance. I don't understand how "normie" gays, who support the T because they've been indoctrinated into thinking lgbT, don't see this?

So youtube announced they're testing a feature that will hide the dislikes on videos, and I see people upset because without the ability to see the dislikes, they won't be able to tell if the video is a scam or contains misleading info or is just plain "bad". It's obviously better to have that information spoon-fed to you instead of actually watching the video and forming your own opinion. Just like blindly accepting that TWAW and are no different than real women is much easier and doesn't require any pesky critical thinking.

Ignorance is bliss.

(Also wlw specific but something something female socialization and the push to be kind to everyone always or you're a mean and bad person and no one wants to be mean and bad)

But when does critical thinking kick in for gay "normies? Or the sense that gays are being used by TQ+ activists?

Because now in the US, bill after bill challenging men in women's sports is being proposed on the state level, and a lot of people across the political spectrum are supporting these bills, so surely at some point the average homosexual must also analyze the issue and come to the conclusion that the issue has F All to do w gay rights so why are gay organizations claiming it does?
