One of the reasons conservatives target transgender folks is because if you accept that gender is binary and immutable, you'll be more likely to accept that gender roles are too

2. They want Theonomy and to force their opinions on everyone.

We got to stop them.

3. Reason never desists! Reason always resists!

For in the absence of reason our freedoms do not exist.

May reason rule!

4. Proof of resurgence of the Patriarchy.

They're fools if they think we won't resist. They've woken a sleeping giant.

5. Agree

Well said!

6. They like to throw it in our faces as a gotcha

like if we suggest Texas winterize their power grid, their response is that liberals don't even know how many genders there are. It makes no sense and they use it to deflect from real issues and policy mistakes their party keeps making.

8. In a fascinating book I am reading, "Vagina Obscura", researchers are positing

that there may be as many as ten genders. One if the points of the book is that patriarchal medicine knows virtually nothing about female anatomy, and has even less interest in it.

9. No it's about white Christian supremacy.

That's what it's always been about. Straight white people are bullying everyone else who doesn't fit their worldview into conforming and it sucks. I blame Fox News for a lot of the reason that we are where we are now, but I am sure that the answer is a lot more complicated than that.

11. The logical extension

Is that not one of these female Republicans shoyld be holding office. Or in the labor market.

12. Exactly. They wanna live like it's 1750? Cabin in the woods.

No technology. Catch fish, raise chickens, work your ass off 17 hours a day, read your damned Bible and rest up for the same tomorrow. Show us you mean it. Or shut the eff up!
