It's pro-women legislation that is being proposed. Specifically, legislation to keep men who pretend to be women out of female-only spaces. This actually is of benefit to the LGB, lesbians in particular.
If that is "anti-trans" then it just illustrates how so-called "trans rights" are an encroachment on women's rights.
- foldr 3y agoThat is a separate debate. The point is that it's the kind of legislation that would also be supported by conservative Muslims and conservative religious people in general. If you think that trans women are 'men who pretend to be women' then you probably have relatively little to fear from a social agenda driven by recently-immigrated Muslim extremists, were such a thing to pass. Indeed, they would probably be useful allies.
