    The only thing you said that makes sense is to get rid of gendered bathrooms. That would solve so much.

    I don’t follow you at all on the mental gymnastics thing.

    The proposals for laws against contraceptives are easily found by google as are the results of trans hatemongering and laws on women in general. If certain politicians and their support network didn’t make a point of campaigning on trans (and women) hate not a lot of people would care if a girl was assigned male at birth.

      You’re conflating two issues. Women’s reproductive rights are one thing and transwomen hate are another. I agree that curtailing reproductive freedom is a transgression on women’s rights, but compared to what goes on in the rest of the world America is in a better place than most nations. Not to say that you should just accept it, but I also don’t think it’s fair assessment that this means “America hates women” because hating women looks a lot different than what goes on here.

      The mental gymnastics are the root of the conflation of these two issues because the basis of it is that transwomen are exactly the same as women, but you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone outside the internet who really believes that. And I think that if you do an analysis devoid of ideology or moral judgement you’ll come to the conclusion that Transwomen and women are not the same thing.

        No, it has nothing to do with conflation of the issues, it’s that women -trans and afab alike - get attacked because and forced to humiliate themselves to prove they’re real. If you want to see what happens in a real world example that got a lot of press look at that female boxer at the olympics. And it’s stuff like that that gets legislated in the US. You just refuse to see it. Meanwhile the regime removes every mentions of female leaders and scientists in things like the military and NASA. But that doesn’t bother you at all.
