how about keeping creepy pedo pageant owners out of female changing rooms?shecky said:Mr Trump said: “Well I’ll tell you the funniest is that I’ll go backstage before a show and everyone’s getting dressed and ready, and everything else, and, you know, no men anywhere, and I’m allowed to go in because I’m the owner of the pageant and therefore I’m inspecting it, you know, I’m inspecting, I want to make sure everything is good.
“You know, the dresses. ‘Is everyone ok?’ You know they’re standing there with no clothes. ‘Is everybody okay?’ And you see these incredible looking women. And so I sort of get away with things like that”.

“I don’t think I’m being paranoid. I think I’m being cautious.” A mother decided that she and her trans teen should leave the United States, after the Trump Administration’s executive orders made her family feel unsafe. Using immersive renderings and handcrafted illustrations, Sam Wolson tells the story of the months leading up to their departure.
Tina and her teen, J.J., who is trans, had lived in the Portland area of Maine for years. But in January, when President Donald Trump issued an executive order that used the phrase “chemical and surgical mutilation” to describe gender-affirming care, she felt it might not be safe for her family to stay in the United States.
As we spoke over the course of several months, Tina described a growing list of concerns, including worry that J.J. might no longer be able to receive hormones, anxiety about violence against trans people across the country, and more speculative fears about potential future legal trouble. “And then I picture myself, you know, worst-case scenario—J.J. is taken away from me, and I’m put in prison. I don’t think I’m being paranoid. I think I’m being cautious.”
I’ve moved countries multiple times for work and for personal reasons, so I know what it means to uproot your life—to leave the U.S. and start over somewhere new. But I’ve never moved out of fear. Their story was both deeply familiar and powerfully unsettling.
Tina’s decision to leave the U.S. unfolded against the broader backdrop of mounting political pressure against immigration. The Trump Administration has made no secret about its hostility toward undocumented immigrants. And yet, many still choose to take the risk to come to this country in search of safety and opportunity. Tina and J.J., however, were making the choice to leave. Throughout the reporting, I could hear Tina wrestling with herself. But her resolve was clear: “You know what? I’m done with this country. A totally unnecessary hatred being directed at my kid is unforgivable.”
In talking with Tina, it became abundantly clear how much their home in Maine meant to both her and J.J. They were preparing to leave behind their many pets, Tina’s garden, their community, family, friends, and the life they had built together. It was important to us that the audience could feel how visceral this story is. We wanted to give people a sense of what it means to say goodbye to a home you never wanted to abandon in the first place.
As it happens, in the past year, I’ve been experimenting with a new technique that we decided to use to re-create Tina and J.J.’s home. We developed naturalistic 3-D models—of special places such as the garden and their bedrooms—that readers could move through, as if stepping into a photograph. On top of these renderings, Lilli Carré, an artist, used handcrafted illustrations to bring J.J. and Tina to life, while preserving their anonymity. The result is a blended form of storytelling that we hope allows readers to not only see their world but get a sense of what it means to leave it.

It should be clear by now. Conservatives** and bigots plan is 1% protecting girls/women*, 99% ostracizing, marginalizing, othering and hopefully eliminating Trans people.
*which will go to 0% once this plan is accomplished
** by conservatives i don’t mean the people who are ok with LGBTQ+ being treated as the normal people they are in society. If you are cool with them, then this isn’t about you. Especially Darth Maeglin, who was in no way in the crosshairs of this post.Post edited by Tim Simmons on0 -

However, the response was to my post of COOTWH’s actions, the climate of fear that US conservatives have fostered against the trans community in the US and a family from Maine deciding to leave the US. Context matters. They’re capable of defending their post so I’ll stop here.DarthMaeglin said:

Just as there’s a spectrum of “progressive” values, it’s no different on the other side.
So, as a Canadian conservative, what are your thoughts on the trans community and the subject of the title? Canada has had gay marriage since the 80’s, I believe, being the first to recognize it at a federal level and codify it as a basic right, correct? What is the Canadian conservative view of the trans community? I think it’s, meh , whatever and no big deal (not being dismissive, just doesn’t get folks so riled up) but I may be wrong. It may be different as well between provinces, Alberta/BC, but again, I’m not sure.
20-25% of religious Americans are evangelical and they are for sure, if conservative, against anything trans. Add in the conservative Catholics, Anglicans, Muslim and Jewish faiths and you can understand why trans folks in the US are fearful. I don’t get the same sense of Canada in that way.09/15/1998 & 09/16/1998, Mansfield, MA; 08/29/00 08/30/00, Mansfield, MA; 07/02/03, 07/03/03, Mansfield, MA; 09/28/04, 09/29/04, Boston, MA; 09/22/05, Halifax, NS; 05/24/06, 05/25/06, Boston, MA; 07/22/06, 07/23/06, Gorge, WA; 06/27/2008, Hartford; 06/28/08, 06/30/08, Mansfield; 08/18/2009, O2, London, UK; 10/30/09, 10/31/09, Philadelphia, PA; 05/15/10, Hartford, CT; 05/17/10, Boston, MA; 05/20/10, 05/21/10, NY, NY; 06/22/10, Dublin, IRE; 06/23/10, Northern Ireland; 09/03/11, 09/04/11, Alpine Valley, WI; 09/11/11, 09/12/11, Toronto, Ont; 09/14/11, Ottawa, Ont; 09/15/11, Hamilton, Ont; 07/02/2012, Prague, Czech Republic; 07/04/2012 & 07/05/2012, Berlin, Germany; 07/07/2012, Stockholm, Sweden; 09/30/2012, Missoula, MT; 07/16/2013, London, Ont; 07/19/2013, Chicago, IL; 10/15/2013 & 10/16/2013, Worcester, MA; 10/21/2013 & 10/22/2013, Philadelphia, PA; 10/25/2013, Hartford, CT; 11/29/2013, Portland, OR; 11/30/2013, Spokane, WA; 12/04/2013, Vancouver, BC; 12/06/2013, Seattle, WA; 10/03/2014, St. Louis.

Put simply I personally have no issues with trans people outside of the matter of sports. However even some family members are more in line with Tim’s blanket statement. So it’s a spectrum.Halifax2TheMax said:
However, the response was to my post of COOTWH’s actions, the climate of fear that US conservatives have fostered against the trans community in the US and a family from Maine deciding to leave the US. Context matters. They’re capable of defending their post so I’ll stop here.DarthMaeglin said:
The post to which I replied didn’t make any distinction, making Conservatives and bigots walk hand-in-hand.Halifax2TheMax said:

Just as there’s a spectrum of “progressive” values, it’s no different on the other side.
So, as a Canadian conservative, what are your thoughts on the trans community and the subject of the title? Canada has had gay marriage since the 80’s, I believe, being the first to recognize it at a federal level and codify it as a basic right, correct? What is the Canadian conservative view of the trans community? I think it’s, meh , whatever and no big deal (not being dismissive, just doesn’t get folks so riled up) but I may be wrong. It may be different as well between provinces, Alberta/BC, but again, I’m not sure.
20-25% of religious Americans are evangelical and they are for sure, if conservative, against anything trans. Add in the conservative Catholics, Anglicans, Muslim and Jewish faiths and you can understand why trans folks in the US are fearful. I don’t get the same sense of Canada in that way.
Here in Canada it’s the so-called “progressive” parties that don’t allow for freedom of thought and belief (try taking an anti-trans position in the Liberals or NDP. Dear Justin’s first act as party leader was to kick out anyone that disputed his chosen position on abortion, for example.) unfortunately.

And I call bullshit on you. You have made numerous generalizations about Conservatives over the years (often doubling down when called on it) and asserted strongly (but never clearly proving) that Canadian Conservatives are all MAGA.HughFreakingDillon said:
Bollocks. Many of us have made that distinction several times. It’s common knowledge that US dems fall closer on the political spectrum to Canadian conservatives and our libs are much farther left. I’ve stated that several times myself, nevermind others.DarthMaeglin said:
You’re one of the only people that has ever made that distinction, in fact most Canadians (especially in this forum) blindly conflate the two.Halifax2TheMax said:
