Is this thing working is this thing on
My best friends kid is a 10 year old trans girl running competitive cross country against girls. I support it completely. I got two daughters playing soccer, no trans girl has ever caused any problem for them. It’s still counterproductive to demand purity on the issue from Dem politicians currently

Agreed and agreed. Power must be won back from Republicans
September 21, 2025 at 1:13 AM
Ok fair, how about not insisting on anti-Republican politicians that need to win popular support to gain power abide by the same mantra in the present moment ?
September 21, 2025 at 1:11 AM
Agreed, and I think polling shows most people are with us on that

All I’m saying is when you take it into demands about girls sports, it starts to breakdown. So why do that now, with everything that’s at stake
September 21, 2025 at 1:08 AM
People’s rights are determined by power and it’s dumb for the Dem base to keep repudiating the need for power with purity tests or absolutist demands (note, you’re not dumb, you’re very smart imho)
September 21, 2025 at 1:06 AM
Kat your article reinforces what I’m proposing is the way. Take the wins as they come and move toward further progress from a position of strategic strength.

Civil rights legislation was indeed popular in 1964 (see above) even if every element of the movement wasn’t. The current absolutism sucks.

Justifying name calling with more name calling lolz but at least we got beyond the “what is a diversity of viewpoints” song and dance
September 21, 2025 at 12:59 AM
Yeah y’all missing it entirely. And always always always go back to the name calling.

Arguing what a diversity of viewpoints means? WTH man
September 21, 2025 at 12:47 AM
No it wasn’t … and MLK Jr, embracing universal themes and commonality, took a much different approach to y’all zealots in this here comment section.

Isn’t that what pluralism is
September 21, 2025 at 12:23 AM
Maybe so, I can’t say otherwise. What I can say is public opinion is squarely against the trans/sports issue and squarely in favor of trans civil rights generally (eg, employment, school, etc). So likely a better play is to take the win, gain back some power and revisit the sports thing later
Americans have grown more supportive of restrictions for trans people in recent years
Two-thirds of U.S. adults favor laws and policies that require trans athletes to compete on teams that match their sex assigned at birth.

Well you’ve certainly identified a big part of the problem here Asher, well done
September 21, 2025 at 12:17 AM
Wrong again Bill. The sports issue is an overwhelming loser for trans rights, and distracts from the winning issues relating to trans civil rights

Again with the name calling. Everyone with diverse viewpoint isn’t stupid. Looking down on anyone who disagrees is a great way to lose elections.
September 21, 2025 at 12:13 AM
You’re confusing yourself again. The point that matters is there’s a majority of voters who view the Lia Thomas episode as unfair.
September 21, 2025 at 12:09 AM
I like that Kat

We lost an election pretty bad and could learn something from it
September 21, 2025 at 12:07 AM
Wrong again sir. The topic was Lia Thomas and there’s lots of people other than annoying Riley Gaines who thought that whole episode was unfair
September 21, 2025 at 12:05 AM
Check any poll out there. Y’all aren’t close to winning this girls and sports argument

But everyone is a liar except for the avatar who only can say Lia finished in 5th place
September 21, 2025 at 12:01 AM
All the other people on the other side of this question than you, they are losers too?

Not good imho to label people with diverse perspectives as losers, especially on complex issues like this
September 20, 2025 at 11:59 PM
No, you’re still misleading yourself

What you said was inaccurate because it was incomplete

Lia won a national championship. Set two league records that still stand.
September 20, 2025 at 11:57 PM
And all the other women/girls with the same general perspective? Y’all good with disparaging their feelings and viewpoints too

So much for a pluralistic society or diversity of beliefs
September 20, 2025 at 11:54 PM
Nor what I said
September 20, 2025 at 11:52 PM
We were talking about Lia Thomas

And then y’all started comparing Lia Thomas to the horrors of centuries of human slavery and Jim Crow

My suggestion is to not do that

Do what you want though
September 20, 2025 at 11:51 PM
Not even sure what a zoomer dude is or the problem with the hairstyle

Everything so confusing these days
September 20, 2025 at 11:46 PM
Now you’re gonna gaslight the name calling, including labels of transphobia, that’s gone on in this comment thread?
