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.
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
That’s literally not even a real static. In fact when in court the top trans lawyer Chase Strangio was unable to legally say that transition reduced suicide in youth due to insufficient evidence.
This study is awful, it literally just exists to make stuff up. It takes outcomes by comparing differences in suicide rates between states with pro trans vs anti trans laws.
But that has absolutely nothing to do with positive outcomes, and there are so many factors not accounted for. It’s just bad science.
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.
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.
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.
Maybe don’t jump into a comments section and police the language of trans people defending themselves against the claims of a moronic bigot. Now fuck off.
If it were only Republicans we wouldn't be in trouble. The reality is independents and Democrats hate this stuff too. You are going to lose us the next election just like the last one.
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.
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.

Yeah let’s do it. Bring back a healthy normal America.
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

Spot on Sarah!

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?
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.
Maybe don’t jump into a comments section and police the language of trans people defending themselves against the claims of a moronic bigot. Now fuck off.
😢
If you want to know why Republicans keep winning, it’s because Democrats keep backing gender ideology which is extremely unpopular.
Thank you for finally telling me the reason Republicans keep winning...REPUBLICAN House primaries
I mean seriously, do you even hear yourself?
If it were only Republicans we wouldn't be in trouble. The reality is independents and Democrats hate this stuff too. You are going to lose us the next election just like the last one.
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.
Look at the 2024 election analysis, people care. It’s one of the issues that lost kamala the election
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.)
