Anybody who shits on trans people "for the children" or "for the women" should be viewed with suspicion.
They're saying that because the only reason they can fathom that people would transition is to assault women and children. The fact that that's where their mind goes says much more about them than about trans people.
Guise Our Pedophiles
GOP: Greedy Old Perverts
The real risk to girls clearly comes from hypocrites like him, not from trans people. Clean your own house before spewing hate.
It's all projection and it always has been. If a conservative states anything about protecting children it's because they themselves are a significant threat to children, without exception.
The GOP is the party of pedophiles.
Group Of Pedophiles
Guardians of pedophiles, Molesters are granted amnesty
*and soulless assholes
Oh look, more GOP backed child molesters.
It's never about the children.
Well, in a roundabout way here...
It's about the real predators wanting to control other peoples children
It is never about children until the politicians and their friends want to rape them.
Anyone who has a problem with trans people should be assumed to be a pedophile. No one without some serious skeletons in their closet is that concerned about other people's lives and bodies.
glares at Rowling
State Sen. J. Stuart Adams loves child-rapists.
Attorneys also pointed out that, under the old law, if the accused rapist had been 17 and his victim had been 14 years old instead of 13 years old, the accused rapist would’ve been charged with a Class B misdemeanor rather than felony charges.
But he wasn’t and she wasn’t. Can I point out that if I hadn’t premeditated a murder I could qualify for manslaughter charges? No. Because the law is defined and not malleable. Unless you’re related to a senator named J. Stuart Adams, who loves child-rapists.
"Your honer, she was definitely very flirty before the roofies kicked in."
Still no drag queens.
And no trans people.
Trans people put girls at risk of being aware of their bodily autonomy and advocating for themselves.
Grand Old Pedophiles
Trans people put children at risk of realizing there are alternatives to the dogmatic conservative view of gender.
Rapists help impose patriarchal control over the population by traumatizing anyone who would resist or rebel against the culture of submission.
That was a very perceptive and very clarifying comment. Thank you.
Reminder: not a democrat, not an immigrant, not a drag queen, not a trans athlete, not a member of the LGBTQ community.
Projection every single time.
What do you know, still not a drag queen.
They should name the 18 year old perpetrator in the interest of public safety. The reason given in the original article strikes me as odd:
It also is not identifying the 18-year-old, since The Tribune typically does not cover such cases.
Usual suspects
It's so boring they never get called out on their bs. They do t want to protect girls, they want to look up their skirts to ensure they are "intact"
Always trans people, never the actual abusers.
Can someone post the GOP sex offender list?
Sure, they will. They just need to make some changes first.
Its always about who these creeps want to fuck not about protecting anyone.
Another non-dragqueen
They only care when gay or trans people do something sexual.
Every time.
This headline has an important omission. It makes it seem like this particular GOP senator said that trans people are a moral or predatory risk to girls. But in fact, he was talking about physical contact risk as a way to deny trans people their right to play sports. It would be deliciously ironic if it had been the former.
That doesn't really change anything. Even the sports issue is unscientific irrational bigotry. It comes from a complete ignorance of how trans healthcare actually works, and brain-dead assumptions that trans women have bodies anything like those of cis men.
For sure, it's irrational bigotry. It's still a misleading omission.
