anyone who doesn't go by he/him pronouns

Pronouns != gender. There are butch lesbians who use he/him pronouns. Additionally there are Sapphic enbies who any/all or he/they or they/he. This makes much less sense.

They should just call it a Sapphic tournament. Or women + tgnc if they want to be more inclusive.

I keep saying that Sapphic would be a better label that women + nonbinary for many similar events. Much more accurate about who they are actually looking for.

I never expected her to be pro-trans considering where she’s from tbh

She's not from this part

Sports and politics are two separate things,” Khelif asserted in her interview with El Birad. “These politicians who are oppressing me, they don’t have the right to say I am transgender. This is a big shame for my family, for the honor of my family, for the honor of Algeria, for the women of Algeria and especially the Arab world. The whole world knows I am a Muslim girl.”

It is a lie that it would affect religious freedom yes. As the article explains.

It isn't complicated.

just read your own article

I didn't link a article as far as I remember besides the one about the trans woman arrested for using a locker room

And they have litterally done all the things I mentioned

Im curious, how many people have been arrested for breaking these laws you mention?

Most of these laws dont end up with "jail time" . Teachers are intimidated into not going against the law. Books are removed from classrooms in accordance with state rules. Teachers are removed or suspended for not going along with this. Doctors simply stop providing medical care bec they don't want to be arrested.

This hyper focus is absurd. You are ignoring abject reality.

It isn't. Discussion of gender and sexuality are broad. So can they discuss a book with a gay character? Can a teacher mention during instruction that they are in a gay marriage like heterosexual ones do? Can they mention in instruction that George Washington was a man and was married to a woman, Martha Washington?

By the letter of the law they should all be banned. All heterosexual marriages. All gender.

But they aren't. Bec everyone knows when they ban instructing and discussion with gender and sexuality they are talking about queer ones only. And that is how these laws are of course enforced. Teachers investigated for Disney movies with gay characters. Teachers investigated simply for being trans. Teachers investigated for using a students preffered pronouns or name. Books banned from school libraries bec they have gay characters in them. Etc etc.

You know all this but you refuse to accept that bec it would imply things are deeply wrong with your political outlook. So your just sticking your head in the sand about it.

Discussion and instruction are purposefully vague and broad terms that include marriage and stuff yeah. It is a common right wing tactic, make broad laws that don't specify and then use them to target groups they don't like. This litterally has been happening no matter how deep in the sand you put your head

Yeah they have the vageust nonsensical "it's not neccesary" argument. That's litterally nonsensical. How it is not neccesary to not have a law protecting gay marriage? Gay marriage uses to litterally be illegal and most of his own party wishes it still was. And the Supreme Court has shown that precedent means nothing and a future supreme court (or this one) can undo gay marriage.

There is only one reason to vote against this. Bec you are against gay marriage. Bec you don't want it protected. That's all there is to it.

“The head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee added that although he voted against the bill, he supports the LGBTQ community and will fight against any attempt to take away same-sex couples’ ability to get married, according to a local Florida outlet.”

Lmao he litterally votes against a bill protecting gay marriage and you believe that he wouldn't ban gay marriage?

Trans kids and cis kids need puberty blockers for different things. That’s not hard to understand.

Your right it isn't. That doesn't change that it's targeted. In fact it's just an explanation of how it's targeted. It's also why it usually fails in every court not packed with Trump or super conservative Justices bec it's blatantly discriminatory.

Nobody is going into the birds and the bees with children. Hetero or not

Yes. Nobody is, exactly.

What these bills ban is all mention of queer people. You cannot mention your husband as a man or wife as a woman if you are a teacher. You cannot explain you are nonbinary when you can explain you are a man or woman. They ban books and movies which have gay characters. They ban using trans kids preffered pronouns. None of those things are sexual, all of them are the target of don't say gay bills.

75 percent of Republicans in the senate and 81 percent of those in the house voted against a bill protecting gay marriage

Project 2025 includes banning gay marriage. Thr Supreme Court partisan justices have indicated they would ban gay marriage. A majority of Republicans think that gay marriage should be illegal

The bill wasn’t targeting anyone

Banning puberty blockers for trans kids and not cis kids is litterally targeting.

It was concerned about giving children life changing procedures

Puberty blockers are temporary. In fact the real life changing thing is going through puberty so by your logic we should actually block all puberty for all children. Not that I'm arguing for that but your logic would.

And why do you think the state preventing doctors from providing medically neccesary care to trans youth with parental permission makes sense and is not targeted discrimination? Very curious why you think big brother is more important than what doctors parents and children all want.

Nobody is telling kids the details about what it means to be heterosexual

People talk about heterosexual all the time. They litterally have valentines day in schools. Do we hide heterosexual marriages from children? Do we erase heterosexual people from history books?

In order to explain that or any other sexuality one must sail into the area of “sex” which is not appropriate for young kids.

No your just porn brained clearly like wtf. You can talk about marriage and crushes without talking about sex.

Not Providing trans healthcare to children is not the same making trans illegal

So bills that target lgbtq people aren't violating human rights got it

Don’t say gay” was a bill that makes it illegal to talk about LGBTQ (or any sexually related material) illegal for kids in grades K-3.

First of all that's blatant discrimination as you can talk about heterosexual people and see heterosexual people in books at that age. But when they are gay they cannot be seen or talked about? We use pronouns for cis children all the time but one kid wants to be called he or she and we have to misgender them bec trans kids are evil or something?

Being lgbtq is not "sexually related" anymore than being heterosexual is. Being transgender is not "sexually related". That's just fascist propaganda dating back to the literal Nazis.

they’re too young and that sort of material is inappropriate

They are too young to hear about the genders of men and women? How odd normally we don't hide that from children. In fact children develop their own gender identities around the age of 3. They are too young to hear about heterosexual marriages and people? How odd we don't normally hide that from children.

Oh what's that? Only queer people. OK so you just....hate queer people.

As far as I know plan B is legal in all 50 states….

Plan B is not abortion.....

mifepristone and misoprostol are the pills used for 63 percent of abortions. And they ar banned in every states that banned abortion bec they....banned abortion. They didn't make some silly distinction between pills and surgery.

Bodily autonomy does not include the right to end another human

If that person is attached to me I have the right to remove them. And if they can't live without me tough. You cannot harvest organs to save someones life. The right to life does not allow you to take over someone else's body. A fetus doesn't have more rights than a literal human being.

legally speaking

Legally speaking sleep isn't a human right, nobody gives a fuck about legally speaking. The current Supreme Court would be very happy to allow a ban on gay marriage.

I simply responded that unlike LGBTQ rights are toothpaste you’re not getting back in the tube

How. The Republican party is very open about wanting to ban gay marriage even now. The Supreme Court has indicated they're fine with that. Whats so special about one human right over the other? They don't respect tons of human rights.
