And you're engaging in it by downplaying and denying the very real power that that transgender ideology holds in US institutions and corporations.

    No I mean, what 'very real power that that transgender ideology holds in US institutions and corporations'. All the political action is bathroom bills and sports bills coming from the right, what political power is the 'transgender ideology' wielding.

      They have the power to make some assholes uncomfortable, by existing.

        You can have a point and make an argument while showing any kind of dignity or intelligence...or you can go looking for a response and titter "u mad?" when you get one. Looks like you made it clear what you're doing.

        It's astoundingly funny how you're the one who insulted me in response to my completely insult-free words, and even after your insults I didn't reply in kind, and yet I'm the one lacking dignity and intelligence. It is a special breed of shamelessness to accuse others of your own vices.

        This is a bunch of stories of people acting individually, this isn't political power. My argument isn't that there aren't people in this world trying to establish their validity in our society, and that those people aren't upsetting other people, just that those people aren't exercising broad systemic political power. Is your argument that people should just accept their lot in life and not challenge the status quo? Or more that they should do it in a way that doesn't upset anyone. I see that you have some concerns here, I don't see why your response is to try and ostracize or ban this thing you don't understand.
