That their cruelty is directed at children? What kind of adult person attacks a child? A sick one, that’s who!

They call these athletes girls, or boys, trans...whatever. What these people are is children. Actual. Human. Children.

A legislator from my state abused his own children for decades. Just reported. I believe he tried to resign, and his party refused to accept his resignation, iirc.

Their cruelty to children (refugee, lbgqt, pedophilia, child abuse) is a feature, not a bug.

I, for one, am sick of it, and it needs to stop, yesterday! We need to face some hard truths, and right away. Our nations children are in danger.

When you know someone, you bring them into your heart.
When you know someone "different", you understand that they're a person first and your world gets bigger and better.
When you know.

Nobody is going to undertake that just to gain an unfair advantage in sports.

As a mom of a transgender girl, I find this idea that someone would pretend to be transgender to gain any advantage in society is ludicrous. As a species, we're driven to identify with our correct gender. Plus, once hormone therapy is started, any physical advantage a man might have over a woman is lost. She's entirely girl competing against other girls. If anything, if lawmakers are so scared their little spawns will be disadvantaged by stronger transgender women, allow hormone therapy to begin at puberty and all physical "advantages" disappear.

Note: just a helpful hint - transgender is an adjective

that should be fair and sensible to everyone involved. It can be difficult for these kids who are stuck in conservative areas.
