It’s horribly dangerous for you here now! Better find yourself a safe space elsewhere. We’ll get by without you somehow.

“And as a transgender person, I’m terrified. I’m terrified because my country’s government is proposing to erase my existence. “

That is an intellectual false statement. A “trans” persons “existence” is not and would not be risked by the proposed federal legislative statement on “gender”.

What would be affected is the “trans” person’s ability to demand the law adhere to the “trans” persons mental obsession, and fantasy that their body’s natural sex is a lie. There is nothing at all that is “in error” about a “trans” persons body. It - the problem - is all in the mind.

Then don’t come home, freak.

[dsrtsage]

Trans eh...thought gender was supposed to be non-binary.

"The medication she needs is not the testosterone she’s taking but meds to help with her delusion" Or a straitjacket.

We'll weight that against the fear that American parents have of him coming home straight into the little girls' bathroom with their daughters?

To delusional narcissists the only person who counts is themselves.

[cymbeline]

“Oh hell, act like something other than a faggot!”

You’re correct but I’d just say he should come back and conceal as best he can that he’s transgender. He needn’t be ashamed. He needs to be dignified.

[Bommer]

Oh please! We had one for a First Lady for eight years

"I could be denied access to the medication I need. I could be denied housing and work, and discriminated against legally based on the fact that my gender does not match the "F" on my passport.."

..and the sky could fall on my head.

And as a transgender person, I'm terrified. I'm terrified because my country's government is proposing to erase my existence.

He (she? it? ze?) shouldn't worry - I understand that you can get a 'drama queen' stamp on your birth certificate and passport which will fix everything.

[TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed]

XX or XY. You are one or the other. Behave accordingly.

[max americana]

there’s rope just for any problem you freaks can come up with..

[Carriage Hill]

Right you are.
I omitted that point by error.

[hal ogen]

This tranny needs to admit they are mentally ill and seek help. Aside from that...what an exaggerating, whiny loser.

This tranny needs to admit they are mentally ill and seek help. Aside from that...what an exaggerating, whiny loser. Also, I guess they are afraid of losing their “tranny privilege”.

But, play boy games in the girl’s room while one of our daughters is in there, we will definitely care.

I believe when he claims to be a "Trans Man", that means it's a female who is ugly enough to look like a male.

[higgmeister]

SAM, put on a MAN’S clothes, get a real job, and quit your homo whining. Case closed.

I believe when a person claims to be a "Trans Man", that means it's a female who is ugly enough to look like a male.

That's why the pseudonym is Sam.

[metmom]

You can continue to pretend to be anything you want and it doesn’t affect your Constitutional rights.

But don’t expect me to play along with your imaginary head games.

[Deplorable American1776]

So, you can’t go home?? Big deal...GROW UP!!

Go away then. We have more than enough of your type!
