« on: October 29, 2018, 10:25:35 AM »i don't understand you conservative typesrealistically speaking, the common denominator here is personal liberty. the point isn't that regulation is always bad, it's that freedom is better
you want less regulation of guns and stuff and everything else, but in these handicapped circumstances you want the loving government to enforce your right to stuffpost national socialist memes and not get called a richard for it
certainly don't understand why some of those liberties like saying slurs are so fiercely fought-for, but i guess that's for other people to sort out

« on: October 22, 2018, 07:18:01 PM »what laws are there that protect transgender people? isn't it just harassment stuff? If harassing a transgender person is a thing and transgender is legally removed, won't it just be harassing a person? I get that that might carry less weight than the former in terms of charges, but why? why would discriminating against someone for being transgender carry a heavier charge than just plain harassment? Shouldn't they be the same thing?it's not harassment, it's stuff like case law extensions of protections under the civil rights act, e.g. employment and housing discrimination. civil rights laws are not reactionary nor preferential, they are precautionary and protective. as i'm sure everyone would agree, nobody should be unfairly disadvantaged or mistreated in private or public spaces along the lines of someone else's personal bias.
Right now if a transgender person harassed someone for being their born gender, that would be way less of a crime as a normal person harassing a transgender person, when both should literally be the same thing.
Don't get me wrong I don't care whatsoever about this new development and I actually believe it's not worth anyone's time or money to relabel the legal definition of gender. I can understand why transgender people will be worried but I think that there will be no decisive differences in our society once this change happens. Maybe I'm not transgender enough to understand but I still think that the laws protecting transgender people are both gratuitous and unfair; transgenders should have the same rights as every other citizen
Like I said, if a trans person identifies as male or female, they have nothing to be worried about.it's not permissible to pick and choose what identities and subgroups are protected. it's all or nothing when you're talking about civil rights protections. by tying the definition of gender identity to love, you exclusively exclude all trans individuals from protections.
And if they don't, then they aren't trans.
there is no argument that this does not affect trans people. it is designed and drafted with the completely transparent intention of targeting trans people, their rights, and their protections. you can think that's great, but that's where we stand, and trans people should be concerned.

« on: October 22, 2018, 08:35:49 AM »yeah ok sure. point is, if you're trans, you have every right to be concerned about this.
The only "gender identities" that relevant are male and female and if a trans person identifies as neither then they don't need to be taken seriously or given any kind of legal protections real tranloveuals are provided

« on: October 21, 2018, 10:38:52 PM »this has literally no ramifications whatsoever. there is no legal weight carried by gender identity, so not only would it be entirely pointless if the article had even an ounce of truth, but the article's existence is also pointless.it matters because case law has decided that protections from discrimination by love also apply to gender identity. through this order, the Annoying Orange administration would effectively be directing the federal govt to directly and exclusively exclude trans individuals from these discriminatory protections, and any protective law that uses the language "gender identity" would also be rendered useless for trans people
transgender people shouldn't have a problem with this either. if you need to legally change your gender in order to feel valid about your identity you're basically a superficial handicap. if you want to identify as a different gender and you want your friends to identify you as a different gender, get them to do it on their own whim.
