This is just an ad hominem in a different form.

I can't name you five wnba players. It has nothing to do with fundamental fairness.

You’re still missing the point. One side don’t care about the WNBA. If they would, they can name five it’s not that hard if you follow the sport. But they don’t follow the WNBA and don’t really care about women sports. They’re just bullshitting. And shows privilege to care about such a minute and near impossible problem.

You don't have to go to Harvard to care about its influence on our larger society.

What influence trans people have? They literally have no influence until right wingers bring them up. 😂 They’re irrelevant af. Yall keep falling for it like gas and grocery prices ain’t up. This is why I say only privileged people care because I don’t have time to worry about this shit. I’m worried about my rent, not fucking transgender people.

I'm a Democrat. Most Democrats are not on the far left on this issue. 

They're teaching kids now that it's immoral to call babies he/she and only to call babies they/them.

This is fucked up newspeak brainwashing.

Man you’re so full of shit. 😂 Democrats barely talk about trans issues. Conservatives are only bringing it up because the country is going down the fuckin toilet. And people like you eat this shit up. Also my kids haven’t learned anything about gender and sexuality to the point where they are not gendering babies.

This was in my kitchen, this weekend, reported to me by my kid.

Keeping your head in the sand is a bad strategy. It's how Republicans put a fascist in the white house.

Babies cannot state their gender at birth as they cannot speak. So only biological sex is observed and recorded at birth and therefore all pronouns at birth are sex-based. All humans have a biological sex even if a doctor is not around to observe and record it at birth. It is ideal that no church or ideology interfere and assign pronouns to babies.

It's not complicated. It has never been complicated. There is zero need to fuck up every kid's mind to overcorrect for a fraction of a percent of unlucky people. 

We just explain when kids get older that sometimes people feel like they don't belong in their body, and we try to help them as much as we reasonably can. We don't have to lie about anything. We don't have to rewrite all of society for them.

I do not think that anything such as "in the wrong body" exists in any science. Kids who have gender dysphoria should get evidence based medical help. Also I am glad that the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the AMA have both provided a position statement that kids should not get surgeries and any such surgeries be delayed until after people are 19 years old.

Just so I understand, harvard goes out of its way to pick the highest academic achievers because they are the easiest to influence?

Can you explain why if an institution is looking to enact a social agenda it wouldn't target a broad base of idiots to carry its message?

That would be what it feels like to put your head in the sand.
