With Trump’s backing, Anthony Constantino won the primary to succeed outgoing Rep. Elise Stefanik. His repeated calls to ‘detransition America’ must be a warning to us all.
So surgeries that can not be reversed and are gender affirming should be banned even if the consenting adult wants the procedure? So let us ban breast augmentation surgery. Let us ban butt lifts. Let us ban nose jobs. Let us ban hair transplants. Let us ban Botox for cosmetic purposes. As for minors, let’s ban nose jobs and breast augmentations. And as for testosterone, let’s ban all those supplements the over the hill ex-athletes flog. If you don’t have it anymore, guy, you don’t get it.
Testosterone is a controlled substance, the least dangerous usage of hormones, which is a man using testosterone, is the only one which is currently impossible to do legally.
Go ask a doctor for at testosterone prescription because you identify as trans-Schwarzenegger, see the reaction you get.
TransArnold? Love the crap the transphobes make up. And tell the aging buffoons buying the T enhancers they peddle to them on ESPN that the supplements are just that: safe but not shown to be effective. They buy them and swallow the stuff because they THINK it boosts T because they WANT the additional testosterone to enhance their sagging “manhood”.
Whether they are real or not, the jerks who take them think they are. And that is the reality. Otherwise there would be no market for any of these not proven to be effective supplements. So they are indulging in gender affirming care, so far as they are concerned. Want to think there is some other reason there is a market for the crap, fine.
What's even worse than a busybody republican is a trans person who for whatever personal reasons doesn't choose to transition - or chooses to detransition - and then wants to enforce that same personal decision on all of transgenderkind. JK Rowling is like that. She's a trans man who lacked the nerve to transition and decided, therefore, to dump all over the lives of trans people who chose to live as their authentic selves.
Yeah, let's bring back a normal 70% increase in the suicidality of trans kids for a more "normal" America. Maybe send them to conversion therapy camp. Arbeit Macht Frei. /s
Mainstream Democrats barely support trans issues, and certainly avoid broadcasting what they do support. Republicans win because they've created a whole industry peddling hysteria about transgender people that is not based in reality, but it's become an emotional issue for those voters who believe this anti-trans propaganda.
Except that Republicans haven't been winning, because people have caught on that all they care about is this sort of bullshit and that they have nothing in their agenda to solve real problems or improve people's lives.
Yep it’s called a moral panic and it’s literally basically a calculated scientific way to do it. They know what they are doing, how to do it and no they don’t believe a fucking word of it they just know the idiots out there will do their work for them every…..single…..time. If your falling for these moral panics you need to WAKE UP now! I highly advise you watch Rowan Ellis on said subject.
If he thinks people should be allowed to do want they want to their bodies, why is he trying to control strangers? Bet this guy doesn't even personally know a single trans person.
It's UPSTATE New York - very conservative. And need I point out the obvious, that crazy Elise Stefanik, this dim bulb, and his deranged primary opponent all live in the same small geographic area. I'm thinking there's a toxic landfill or perhaps lead piping at play.
Give it time - anyone who is do anti-anything has significant skeletons in his closet. He’s probably a cross dresser when home alone. He has skeletons or he would t be so afraid of a very small group of people.
How the fuck did a medical treatment with a known history of success for a particular type of problem turn into all this? I mean, does anyone out there even realize how minuscule the number of individuals taking hormones or getting surgeries is? I say let trans people have their own country and watch how much more successful a nation they’d build than anything in christofascists could make.
The Labor Party's PM Kier Starmer came into power in a huge landslide election and then threw trans Brits under the bus and dragged them up and down the British Isles. And now he has resigned as one of the UK's most unpopular prime ministers.
Abigail Spanberger (VA) and Mikie Sherrill (NJ) were almost identical candidates in states with about the same political temperament. Sherrill supported trans people unabashedly. Spanberger demurred when pressed on trans issues. And they both won by similar margins.
Gee, I guess supporting trans people isn't really a losing platform after all.
Actually, there was no such thing as gender ideology until the Republican national Christian party decided to create it with a few hundred million dollars spent on advertising it! You knew that didn’t you?
The biggest reason Kamala lost, besides having such a short and chaotic campaign, was that she had the Biden Administration's policy towards Israel (against Gaza) hanging around her neck like an albatross. Young people (mostly) stayed home.
I thought you knew the country of Gaza declared war on the country of Israel. The people of Gaza are getting their karma back, don’t fret about it. It’s their karma, not yours or ours.
Yeah, I know the history of the entire conflict - which doesn't change that this was the number one reason young voters stayed home (and not because of trans people).

Cancer surgery is also irreversible.
Cancer recurs. Ask too many BCS folks.

Boost garbage isn't actual test, real anabolic steroids are illegal.

It will be the same when I can go to my GP and can get anabolics no questions ask.
I mean gas station cunt pills are a thing too.
You would know
No one is questioning your journey here. Maybe don't stand in the way of others.
Why do republicans think it’s any of their business? Like, why does anybody even fucking care?
Republicans need to stay in their own lane and leave everybody else alone.ffs

The study came out after the SCOTUS case.
Correction: I should have said "up to" 70%. However, whether it's the low end or the high end of the range, I still think suicidality is bad.
PS Making shit up is a MAGA affliction. I'm not MAGA.
As an actual scientist, I disagree. You only call it a bad study because it doesn't reinforce your foregone conclusions.
“normal” according to whom? mentally deficient people like you?
Snark without facts is the sort of nonsense the MAGA and phobic folks swallow and spew back.
Shut up, dork.
Are you 5 years old, or is that just your mentality?
Ooh, so profound and literate. Sod off since you have nothing to add.
Um eat me.

Appreciate your optimism, Sarah! I sure hope so too!
Hang on to hope, Esper! Hope keeps people sane and centered.

"We need to detransition America because it’s an irreversible procedure."
Wow! That's about the dumbest thing I've ever read. Doesn't he recognize that this sentence is self-contradictory?
If he thinks people should be allowed to do want they want to their bodies, why is he trying to control strangers? Bet this guy doesn't even personally know a single trans person.
Constantino: “it’s irreversible so we need to reverse it!!”
Everyone Sane: 😠😠😠🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️
What is wrong with New York?
It's UPSTATE New York - very conservative. And need I point out the obvious, that crazy Elise Stefanik, this dim bulb, and his deranged primary opponent all live in the same small geographic area. I'm thinking there's a toxic landfill or perhaps lead piping at play.
What's good for humanity is to force these white fascist back under their rocks. Such a low consciousness sad little boy he is.
what an asshole, dis Constantino!
“let's go backwards!” is a unique slogan.
It’s all bull shit. Only 1% of trans people regret their transition.

dood sounds kinda fixated on kiddie genitals.... check the hard drive...
😢
Thank you for finally telling me the reason Republicans keep winning...REPUBLICAN House primaries
I mean seriously, do you even hear yourself?
You are so untethered from reality, it’s astonishing.

Lol are you joking? You can’t be this stupid.
According to several polls, nobody gives a crap about transgender issues except transgender folks and anti-trans crackpots.
You do you. You don't get to make me do like you.
You don’t have the first clue what you’re talking about, hon. Why is it the dimmest amongst us tend to be the most vocal? Sit down and shut up. 🖕🏻

Come on. The DNC postmortem was a joke. Seriously. And it didn't conclude trans people were the problem. (It didn't really conclude much of anything.)
