To be this brainwashed is amazing. Mental health is a major issue in these groups.

You know the best part of everything involved in this statement just how obvious a bad-faith ploy it is.

Glad you can't answer the question. I wonder which side is actually suffering from mental health issues. Good day.

First you didn’t ask me the question.

Second it’s not that simple especially in the context it was originally asked.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and assume you hasn’t watched the hearing and didn’t listen to why that question was in bad faith.

Is a middle aged or elderly mother who has a hysterectomy (about 35-40% have them unfortunately) a woman? Does a woman have to have ovaries and a uterus? What do you consider women who have hysterectomies?

Being born as a human female with the potential to create offspring in the future. There ya go. Not that hard. It doesn't mean that someone who has health issues isn't a woman.

Plenty of women are born infertile with no potential to create offspring in the future. Are they still women? And what about the additional hundreds of thousands of babies who are born each year in the US with extra sex chromosomes? There ya go. Not that hard. They’re women if they identify that way.

Why would you or anyone care how someone identifies? To quote George Thurgood (yep, I’m old), “It don’t confron’ me (long as I get my money next Friday).”

How would you describe a true friend? Is it someone who will give you the tough truth - even if they know it will hurt you slightly in the moment - for the greater good in the longterm? Or is a true friend someone who just says "YES HONEY YOU DO YOU!" every time they ask you a question?

Anyway, for whatever 0.0000003% thing you want to throw at me like some kind of got ya moment - let's just stick to the Chromosomes then.

You’re privy to “the truth”? And the rest of us aren’t? Well, aren’t you special.

Have a little humility and stop trying to control other people. Meanwhile, you’ll lose this argument because most people don’t have your control needs.

Surgically transitioning before age 18 is a separate issue with admitted potential to do harm. And it’s exceptionally rare. No, you feel entitled to control other people’s choices and identities.

“Leftist,” huh? Lol. Nope. A civil libertarian. Remember that?

What exactly is the “one hell of a fight” going to be about? Again, lol.

I feel like puberty shapes a lot of what we will become and isn't an enemy of humans.

"one hell of a fight" = simple information warfare, engaging in debate.

I don't care what grown adults do to their bodies as long as it's legal. I do care about protecting innocent, children, sure. sue me.

Well, we probably mostly agree then. Wait. Did we just potentially reach an agreement as a result of a Reddit conversation? Awesome! Hey, maybe Americans don’t fit neatly into political categories? Well 🖖 …

You’re right. I did come in with a chip on my shoulder when I shouldn’t have. My apologies.

No worries!

We (Americans) should convene a national town hall. It would be wild here and there, but I’d say overall we could get a lot done on things like immigration, abortion, LGBTQ rights and so on. Most people are decent, sensible and reasonable, even if many are prone to believing conspiracy theories regarding “stolen elections” and the like.
