When the “woke” mania swept the country in 2020, I took a step back and reevaluated where I stood and why I stood there. To my surprise, I found that I agreed with conservatives and libertarians on a number of issues. I opposed childhood gender transitions, unlawful and divisive DEI mandates, and the excesses of Critical Race Theory. I argued against biological males competing in women’s sports and being housed in women’s prisons. I did so loudly and publicly, losing many friends along the way. My stance wasn’t rooted in hate or fear but in a commitment to reason and fairness. My loyalty was to the truth, not to political tribes. Maintaining my integrity cost me greatly, but I believed it was worth it.
like you’re prepared to throw everyone and everything under the bus as long as trans girls can’t play sports?
It’s like you’ve run out of things to be angry about, not homelessness, shitty healthcare, beyond shitty transport policy, ludicrous war spending, dead kids from guns, the likely destruction of civilization from climate change, foreign policy that shits over all allies… all unimportant, trans kids playing basketball is the real issue to focus on ffs
As to DEI mandates being decisive, the GOP made them decisive to appeal to dimwits. Having 50% representation of women in Congress for example seems like an admirable goal because women are ~50% of the population.
so much winning
