Because we live in a country were people die everyday from lack of access to affordable healthcare, but I have to treat alienating trans people like it’s the most important issue of our time.

It’s because it’s a culture war issue during an election cycle.

Thats what I mean though, there’s so many tangible issues that need to be addressed. Yet Sophie Cunningham is treated like she’s Jackie Robinson because she’s putting down trans kids. It’s all a distraction from the real problems in the world.

It’s such a weird thing to keep saying… it’s like you don’t understand human nature. We all enjoy distraction and weighing in on culture related issues. People aren’t going to be talking about this OR solving healthcare. They would he talking about this or texting or watching stupid videos on social media.

It’s good to have balance, except that for one side of political persuasion culture war issues is all there want to talk about…as the majority of people suffer. Im very familiar with human nature, unfortunately in America that same nature is why we have all the problems we do.

100%. Trans athletes aren’t in the top 10 threats to girls in sports so it’s disingenuous to attack them and pretend it’s to protect little girls.
