Ok? I'm sorry but what do video games have to do with civil rights?
It's not important.
Ok...what right is being violated here?
Have people's rights really been tampered with other than the rights of Judeo-Christian white maleswho are year by year being stripped of their rights to discriminate against people that don't agree with their racist/sexist/homophobic ideology?
I don't see what this has to do with my post.
What is the rest of it? See, this right-wing stance makes it uncomfortable for them to accept gays and gender-benders' rights to privacy.
The rest of it would be pronouns, prisons, sports, childhood healthcare, education, etc.
You don't really have any right to privacy....apart from a right to unwarranted publicity.
Yeah, that's how it works in a democracy.
What you claim to be a special privilege, I say is observing American citizen's civil rights.
Ok....what rights?
Is eliminating white-only water fountains giving people "special privileges."
No...but you aren't eliminating white only water fountains. You're letting men into women's restrooms.
Hate gays and trans people all you want but according to Federal law, you can't discriminate against them.
I don't think there's any federal law protecting trans people.
An addition to the civil rights amendment was added by Biden but that's not a valid way to change an amendment. That's why so many states are able to write these laws about education, restrooms, sports, I think a state even recently passed a law against "gender affirming care". They can do this...because Biden cannot unilaterally decide to alter an amendment.
It wasn't as traumatic as just uncomfortable.
Ok.
Again, it's not a special privilege, it's the right to privacy protected by the Constitution.
From unwarranted publicity. You don't really have a right to privacy in public.
Gay marriage is one thing. Excluding gays and trans people from their ability to defend their civil rights in another
You haven't brought up any civil rights. You keep mentioning privacy, but public restrooms are public.
Well, the leaders in the field of mental health have decided that the desire of one to change their gender is a diagnosable condition and not a fashion statement.
Very very recently some things have come out about those leaders....
1. They're frauds. In private conversations, they've admitted to not really knowing what they're doing and have put children at risk.
2. They've permanently damaged children. The first real long term, large scale, study on puberty blockers shows that children taking them have underdeveloped genitalia, and a high percentage of boys are effectively sterilized.
3. A large scale review of all the research used by these medical leaders concluded in England. It shows (like the Swedish meta-study did) that the research is low quality garbage and far below the standards of healthcare for children.
Essentially, everyone opposing this stuff was correct (even the Christians opposing it for religious or bigoted reasons) and all the people supporting it...have been supporting the medical experimentation on children that's caused lifelong damage (you).
Just thought you should know this if you aren't up to speed on recent developments on the issue. You aren’t some moral crusader fighting for rights....you've enabled mentally ill people to damage children for life.
You remember JK Rowling? Remember how they claimed that she was transphobic and hateful towards trans people? Now they're asking her if she would forgive the Harry Potter actors if they apologized to her. Turns out she was right all along. In fact, there's multiple doctors and activists who lost their jobs over this now being praised as heros for their bravery for fighting for children at great personal cost. Smart people lost their jobs for speaking out against this...
It may take weeks or months for this to trickle down to your area....but don't be surprised if at the very least, puberty blockers, HRT, or even gender affirming care gets banned for harming many many children. That's part of what you're supporting here....harming children.
That's what makes it hard to understand how someone who has no interest in religion could be so brainwashed into pushing Christian morality on those who are fighting for secular rights.
Oh that's easy...
1. I'm educated and can read a study well enough to understand it's flaws. I've known the research on this stuff is quackery for awhile now.
2. I don't see any rights being violated. Trans people have restrooms and showers they can use....same as me and you....they simply aren't allowed to violate women's spaces for reasons like the one in the OP.
3. The methods of trans activists are reprehensible. They lie to people like you, tell people lies like trans people are being murdered or committing suicide as children at astounding rates. They infringe upon the rights of others without any regard for the damage done. There's nothing good about them.
I refuse to buy into the whole oppression of the white man's conservative lie.
No kidding. You support discrimination. I can show you DEI experts saying this....I can show you white men winning discrimination lawsuits after being fired by their employers after they hired a DEI racist. I can point out the examples of racism from this administration. I can cite studies done showing that hiring managers and HR people admit they've been told to discriminate against white men.
You're in full blown denial because you support racial discrimination....and that clashes with your feelings of moral righteousness that you get by supporting mentally ill trans people.
Do you think it's acceptable for businesses and schools to deny white men opportunities in favor of racial minorities?
Yes or no?
So do you really believe that a transgender woman would prefer to shower with women that have natural female bodies?
That's what they say.
See above.
Here's a recent example...
Here's an older example...
By Rebekah Riess, CNN A White man has been awarded a $10 million payout in a wrongful termination lawsuit filed against his former employer, which he said fired him and replaced him with a White woman and a Black woman as part of a push for diversity, according to court documents. Plaintiff...
Here's an example from this administration...
The following is adapted from a talk delivered on July 20, 2022, at the Allan P. Kirby, Jr. Center for Constitutional Studies and Citizenship on Hillsdale’s Washington, D.C. campus, as part of the AWC Family Foundation Lecture Series.
If you read past the intro, you'll see examples on examples. I understand that every racist thinks their racism towards a group of people is justified for "reasons" from the KKK of the 1800s to today's modern left...but I don't think you have some moral high ground which to judge me from. I'm not denying trans people any rights....and I'm certainly not in favor of racial discrimination against anyone, not just white people.
Don't get me wrong, there are white men who suffer under poverty
There's more whites in poverty than any other racial group....and last I checked, the poorest county in the US was mostly white.
