Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

What an absolute piece of shit.
Like every word she speaks is TERF propaganda, which she recognizes: She Twitted "Full TERF".
She says "He is a biological man. End of. Period."
She makes a point that she is not willing to discuss or find common ground by any criteria (not even the safety and dignity of trans women themselves).
This is a savage and barbaric, blatant display of bigotry and hatred, a disgusting outlook for any human, and totally unworthy of respect in decent society.
Thoughts out to Sarah Mac Bride that has to face this and still keeps her cool.
To me banning transgender use of public spaces and bathrooms should be listed as a hate crime and be heavily fined.
I hope her motion is rejected, she should be ashamed of her ridiculous self.
But they're not being banned from ALL bathrooms, only bathrooms designated for biological females.
No, they are not administering genetic tests to make sure only XX people are allowed in. They are surely using birth certificate as a proxy. But there are plenty of people AFAB who would not qualify as biological females.
You people are just a hoot!
First of all learn to proof read before you post.
Second, show me how being Trans = being mentally unstable.
I'm being honest. Please send me any peer reviewed, fact based, article on that. I'd love to know more.
Also what is stopping any unsavory character (trans or not) from taking on a persona to manipulate people? What has ever stopped those types of people?
Trans people are just humans, like you and me. No better or worse. They have always existed, even if society made it so they had to stayed quiet about it. They pose no threat to you or the "American way". They simply want the same rights every human has and they want to be left alone to go about their day, just like a vast majority of Americans.
It's people like you that turn mole hills into mountains over this stupid shit like a trans person using a fucking bathroom. Fuck gender bathrooms anyway. Make it a requirement for all bathroom stall doors go to the floor and none of this is an issue anymore.
I swear you right wing nuts don't have enough actual problems in your lives. If you did you wouldn't have time for this shit and you wouldn't care.
Protip: if you read your post out loud to yourself you will be able to catch any obvious autocorrect mistakes or prevent yourself from saying something really stupid.
