Trump is wrong on the transgender issue, and saying, “It doesn’t happen.” or “It’s not detectable.” is NOT a defense. The laws were on the books for a reason, and it wasn’t just ‘a puritan age’. It’s a privacy and security issue.
And, honestly, those claiming those things simply don’t know what they are opening up.
And calling for the decent people of America to unite and push back on this is hardly irrational crowd behavior. It’s common sense. I have never felt compelled to defend stupid statements by politicians I support just because I support them.
The laws are still on the books. Enforce them. If you wish to fiddle away while Rome burns, go right head. I’ve lived a long life under my personal beliefs and weathered many a storm. I’m not about to be driven to panic now by a bunch of rabble-rousers. There are more important issues to be dealt with.
