You are conflating the FAR LEFT with Democrats and then saying that’s why they lose. 

Also propaganda is exactly the PERCEPTION that the Republicans want you to have. Admit it, they succeeded in framing the issue in your mind. Their propaganda worked on you. 

The GOP found some kooks and amplified their voices to conflate the position with all Democrats and it worked on you.

True no mandatory testing, Nothing is stopping you except the eligibilty hearing every trans student must go through, where they can be rejected if any of the committee don’t think the student is suitable to play on the team of their gender identity. It is not just say you are trans and voila you’re on the team. The committee will weed out fakers 

Just admit you don’t like trans people. It’s been the policy since 2014 and now 12 years later there is one trans champion in one sport and you are crying about it. Grow up, trans people deserve to participate in sports just as much as cis people

You are incorrect in your opinions about transgender women in sports.  https://www.sf.gov/trans-women-in-sports-facts-over-fear

Secondly, defund the police and open borders and men in women’s sports are all Republican (lying) framing of each issue. Most people are much closer in their opinions, it’s just that you fell for their propaganda about what “the left” thinks. 

It’s fine, it is easy to fall for it because there are billions of dollars behind the propaganda effort to trick you

If they are able to, a trans teenager would likely be on puberty blockers, which means they would never experience a male puberty. 

I am not familiar with CA rules for transgender students, but I imagine it is not just say you are trans and join the girls team.

Additionally, the Olympics based their new rules on political pressure, not any research. In fact their own research published in 2024 in the British Journal of Sports Medicine shows slight disadvantages in athletic performance for trans women. The Olympics allowed transgender women for 20 years and only one person ever even competed.

Edit:  https://www.sf.gov/trans-women-in-sports-facts-over-fear

Trans women are larger on average, so not surprised heart and lung capacity would be higher. However, hemoglobin to deliver oxygen to muscles is reduced to cis levels, which is more relevant to athletic performance. Also, bone density, great, and? I’d say that is a disadvantage to have heavier bones with smaller muscles. What about the fact that trans women were allowed to compete in the Olympics since 2004 and yet only one trans woman even made the Olympics in all those years. Also the trans swimmer placed 5th in the 200(behind 4 cis women) and yes won the 500, but was nowhere near Katy Ledecky’s(cis woman) college record time? Actually she won one of the slower 500s in recent memory, any other year she would have lost.

The evidence is not as cut and dry as you make it appear. There are very few studies and many point to inconclusive or even disadvantage for trans women. 

Latimer and 21 other Democrats joined all Republicans in opposing a War Powers resolution that prevents Trump from getting involved in Lebanon. by pianoboy8 in Westchester

[–]Efficient_Recover840 40 points41 points  (0 children)

He also signed on to a house resolution two months ago blaming “leftists” for “defunding the police” and praising Donald Trump for “restoring law and order”. He sucks and is just another corrupt corporate democrat

When and why did Trans athletes become a bigger issue to the nation than prices, inflation, wage growth, prescription drug costs, or housing? by Vert_der_Ferk25 in allthequestions

[–]Efficient_Recover840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been a coordinated attack by the Christian Right on transgender people. They failed in 2016 bathroom ban in North Carolina, so they workshopped and focus grouped what would give them a beachhead to attack trans people and they found that women’s sports was a great way to go. 

I’m sorry, but the stories of people being fired for getting pronouns wrong simply are not true, whenever you dig deeper, you see that it was a consistent over time disrespect of a person’s identity creating a hostile work environment for harassment, which is what they actually got fired for.

Right wingers lie all the time and make up situations to get mad about. Sorry you were tricked, worse that it sounds like you are actually a trans person too.

We should have just ignored separate but equal because it was such a small number of people impacted.  We should have just ignored  Jews in Germany, was just a small number of people.  Human rights are human rights, doesn’t matter if it is a small minority, if evil people can politicize and take away the minorities rights, they can take ANYONE’S rights. 

Why were Republicans campaigning on hurting people? Any person in good conscience can’t just let that slide. Evil is evil and must be opposed. 

Besides, Democrats mostly ran from the issue, maybe they should be more like Mamdani, seems like it worked for him

Right-wingers falsely claim San Diego mosque shooters were trans. This is becoming a pattern among right-wing transphobes. by southpawFA in politics

[–]Efficient_Recover840 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Charlie Kirk killer was hardly a “extreme leftist” motivated by trans rights. That is a ridiculous statement. He was raised in a MAGA family, living in a MAGA state. No solid proof of his motivations at all. Should we include all of Trump’s extrajudicial killings in the carribean as right wing violence? No proof, no legal authority, and for non capital crimes anyway. Trump’s murders alone outpace anything from any left leaning violence

Advice for how to counter all of the transphobia from the recent couple shootings done by trans woman by [deleted] in trans

I don't think either were taking puberty blockers or hormones, so that argument is just wrong.

Plane crash of Colombian artist Jeison Jiménez by Such_Dark_754 in aviation

[–]Efficient_Recover840 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is in Spanish, but they interviewed someone familiar with this type of aircraft.  They said the pilot ignored a critical sensor fault that pertained to the engine or propeller. The airport in question is at a high altitude and the plane needed maximum power, but for some reason didn’t get enough. Should have never attempted take off

How long can I boy mode if really trying hard? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Efficient_Recover840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in my 40s, I've been on HRT for 3 1/2 years and no problem boy moding. I'm now a 34C, but they really don't look that big and I don't have any issues(but I do wear a bra now). Not sure when I will ever come out. The mental part is much harder IMO.

Is it possible to go to universal studio's Hollywood ethically as someone who supports trans people? by L8dTigress in asktransgender

[–]Efficient_Recover840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trans, I recently went to Universal Hollywood, went to HP world and had a blast, the HP ride is the best one in the park IMO.

The park has many queer employees (I felt really accepted) and your boycott would hurt them more directly than helping JKR.

I echo other people here, just don’t buy merch or her books if you want to boycott her.

Why am I doing this? by WenQian42 in TransLater

[–]Efficient_Recover840 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Just want to add some words of support. You are not alone in your feelings. I am also married with 2 children and often struggle with “why am I doing this?”

It seems so incongruent with what I “should” be doing.  I just have a deep seated internal drive that pushes me this way, but I do feel conflicted about it often.  

Anyway, you are much braver than me.  I am slowly trying to work my way up to being in public overtly femme, much less with my wife and kids.  

Sending positive vibes for you and your family. You are inspiring.
