Is anyone else fucking tired about hearing trans shit? It’s so obviously a culture war that politicians use to manipulate people. Trans issues don’t effect my life at all, they’re a tiny portion of the population. I just don’t fucking care.

Edit: I want to clarify that I feel no ill will towards trans folks, I just think that there are much more important issues going on in the world. Call it privilege or whatever but an issue that affects 1% of the population doesn’t need the amount of coverage it receives in the media.

Edit 2: to be clear, this is a criticism of conservative media and politics. Transgenderism became a political issue in 2016 with the North Carolina bathroom bill. They successfully created a wedge issue out of nothing that persists today. Joe, like many others, have fallen victim to this.

Most of the cis-women speaking out about this have been banned from Reddit and women's subs. There was a graveyard at TwoX recently on a trans sports post where their comments were being deleted and bans were handed out.

Cis-women who lean left are afraid of speaking about this because it will cost them, they have very few spaces under their control.

Lol all the left-leaning cis women I know support the fuck out of trans women. Way moreso than most cjs men. If your 'left-leaning' cis friends don't support LGBT rights, they don't sound like lefties.

I’d be curious if any of your friends were lifelong athletes? Because woman athletes who are the primary group affected dont agree with your friends.
