Gotchya, I was just trolling but cool story bro
The terrible evil of being perplexed and kinda stunned by the ease with which you think it's proper to consider a 9y old as trans, under the law.
I mean convince the median Pennsylvania voter not me. It's you guys angrily when the right discuss this topic, and the reason is you know it's a topic that doesn't play well at all with median voters in purple states.
Can get angry at me for being Italian as much as you want, doesn't change the fact that trans issues are a losing proposition this cycle for the left,to the point NYS democrats are very worried ex post about how they worded their pro abortion rights proposition (adding trans stuff in it) and how it might backfire (in NYS!!!!).

The unwillingness to spend has some party operatives concerned state Democratic leaders are failing to effectively counter an opposition that has seized on the amendment’s expansive language pledging rights for LGBTQ+ people. The so-called equality amendment would ban discrimination against “gender identity” and “pregnancy outcomes,” adding to current constitutional protections for race and religion.
An issue that should have been as easy a win in New York as it has been for Democrats across the nation is now at risk of backfiring because of how they chose to craft the amendment.
What kind of fanatical religious forces possess you guys so much that in order to push issues that literally no one gave a **** about until 15 years ago, and that even in the most expansive form at most improves very little on the margin the lives of less than 1% of the population, you are willing to risk losing a presidential election, the House, the Senate?
this is a non-issue for me, i was just pointing out to gorg that he was lying because lying is an issue for me
on a personal note, i don't think our government should be involved in those matters and if they want to issue free tampons then they can put a dispenser in a machine in or nearby the nurses office instead of getting into culture wars of putting them into a bathroom - in some areas there are tampons in men's bathrooms, which is just a needless waste of resources because there's far more efficient manners to do that in an inclusive manner that doesn't ignore the needs of the vast majority (not to mention be regularly replaced/refurbished due to vandalism)
The goal isn't "inclusivity" or any other leftist buzzword, the goal is pushing a set of pseudo-religious values using state power, and you do that explicitly with symbolic choices with a complete disregard for pragmatism.
It's identical to the people wanting the bible in school curricula
this i 100% agree with, another thing i'm opposed to
if we had a governor putting bibles in the bathroom stalls i'd also find that very stupid to do
They put tampon dispensers in bathrooms because mensuration is generally considered a private matter. Can you imagine a girl who already gets made fun of being seen getting some tampons from the public dispenser? God forbid a trans person with potential safety concerns get a sliver of privacy
These words?
The law isn't about 9 year old trans people. Its about ALL people. I dunno why you are talking so much about 9 year old trans people.
If a 9 year old believes they might be the opposite gender, is your suggestion that we don't give them a tampon as some sort of punishment for thinking they are hte opposite gender?
Its entirely pointless to focus on
Right, because tampons = bibles
Why do you continue to carry water for this guy? Do you enjoy being his stooge?
Dems will win and enact state mandated sex changes for all males, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Writing in the law that 9y old can be trans = mandating the bible
What was written into law is that a 9 year old can get a tampon on their school bathroom in Minnesota regardless of gender. As an 11 year old boy I can get a tampon to plug up the bloody nose I got fighting in the bathroom while the crew watches out for feds.
(That is, if they were actually putting tampons in boys bathrooms)
You are the one flailing around violently trying to make this about trans children
those were not the words, try again chief
government mandated stigmatizing of menstruation feels like great public policy
Luciom promise me you won’t have children
Laws mandates access to tampons to "menstruating students" from 9 years old (4th grade).
Cordie: it's so that boys can use them for bleedy noses, how you dare imply it was about trans issues!!!?
I already have 2
It's amazing the ease with which he just lies. I will never understand these people.
Well that’s a bummer
fyp
Oh we are at the "let's misgender someone to mock him" stage of inclusivity i see
Care to elaborate?
Not really. Infer what you feel like projecting
You've been intentionally misspelling my name, I guess as an attempt to mock me, for a couple of weeks now
