There is a correlation between Christian indoctrination and political violence. I think we should outlaw that. Exposing your children to religion is traumatic and should be considered child abuse.

How about they run the numbers on fat cis white guys. Then compare them.
You can really see meal team six's gravy seals holding the thin crust line here!
By his logic, if one trans person shooting folks should make all trans medicine be banned, the ridiculous amount of white male mass shooters should see all white dudes put into prison camps at birth.
Not only that, but us straight, white dudes do so many shootings that despite there really not being that many trans people they’re still under-represented. It’s not like there were only five shootings and so 20% was by a trans person, there were so many that it’s less than a percent.
It’s not just the flat numbers, but the percentages, too.
Wow, is it too much to ask that our big evil movements to dismantle decent society and drag us into fascism have some decent leaders??

At Heritage, we believe that so-called transgender surgery is bad for anybody because of what you saw in Rhode Island yesterday," Roberts said
He conveniently doesn't mention that the shooter was also a Trump supporting Nazi.
The mass shootings are all just blending together. Which one was this?
Strong contender for Most Useful Idiot of 2026, there. Hard to see anyone topping that with only ten months left.
Project 2025 creator needs to feel the same type of fear that he is whipping up.
Preventing trans people from physically transitioning isn't going to make them not trans.
No, but they're trying to exterminate the groups. Once they're done genocide-ing the immigrants, they'll add on the other undesirables. That's why they're making the camps so big.
Are they going to ban balding treatments for cismen too? That's gender affirming care.
I am a cis gender woman.
I just found out one of my prescriptions is for a drug that is also used for gender-affirming care.
It made me so angry. I didn’t know much about that kind of care. It wasn’t my business and didn’t affect me. A patients care is between them and their doctor. Now, that I actually know what is prescribed, I realize how much stupider the whole debate is.
Just let doctors do their job. If a legitimate doctor prescribes a healthy patient something, it’s not any of our god damn business. Leave trans people alone and let them live their lives.
I’ve been shouting from the fucking rooftops They will come after ALL trans healthcare, and indeed all other rights. No one cares. They are mostly totally ignorant of us, so they believe whatever bullshit they read.
Just like the republicans will come, and likely succeed, in overturning Obergefell.
I won’t be able to legally access healthcare, nor will I be able to marry.
Remember, all of our “activism” is because we want special rights, not the same ones that cishet white people take for granted every goddamn day.
Not surprised, this is the main reason why I never said "Well I guess you should be 18 to transition", I knew gender affirming care bans were never going to be just for minors.
Trump himself gave up the game when he made 19 the minimum age for federal plans.
Viagra is gender-affirming care.
Of course he does. He undoubtedly wants to mass-murder trans people, too. Baby steps.
One of the first groups the Nazis targeted even before the night of broken glass were the LGBT. They're foaming at the mouth with rage about the LGBT, and they operate on a last-hired-first-fired basis. They'll work their way up to the Ls, Gs, and Bs eventually.
And white liberals will sit on their asses and allow it.
MLK fucking warned us about white “moderates”
Hey, at least he's not raising their taxes!

The party of “small Government”
What is "gender-affirming care"?
Most prominent example? Trump's hair.
Actually? Any cosmetic or medical action to augment someone's identity as either man or woman.
To a transphobic bigot? Anything that deviates from strict gender alignment with sex assigned at birth.
The best filtering example is "breast reduction for cis boys in Texas", since one study looking for underage "female mutilation" found that the exactly same surgery was more than twenty times as likely to be performed on a cis boy than trans boy.
Anything they want it to be.
I dunno brah, I can't even define 'woman' /s
Mind your own fucking business. Why do conservatives want to dictate how people they will never know live?
Heritage Foundation should collectively off themselves publicly.
If anyone wants to help out in private, I won't complain.

This man does not deserve the right to life.
Time to close all the gyms nation wide. Whatever will the gym bros do? Oh and no more cosmetic surgery for anyone.
ok fuckhead, but make it include all gender-affirming care for everyone, trans or not.
no boner pills, no hair transplants, no leg-lengthening, no plastic surgery to change your appearance. be hypocritical more you rat fuck.
Trouble is, if you take this away from trans people, some will kill themselves.
And if you take it away from angry white men, you just get angrier white men.
And they don’t care at all about intersex newborns being ’corrected’ to conform to whichever binary a doctor decides and totally without the person’s consent, nor infant boys having their most sensitive part cut off for 100% cosmetic reasons, again without their consent.
No, apparently consenting adults getting informed medical care is the problem.
The Heritage Foundation’s morals are completely backwards.
Hypocrisy is a feature of their worldview, not a bug. Them getting excluded from so-called "common morals" are just signifiers of power.
They're like the cruellest of school bullies, that's why they're also accusing of ordinary trans and gay people with being pedophiles, while their own are being involved in child sex trafficking. The cruellest thing any school bully can do is convincing the teachers that hitting back was worse than them hitting first, while continuing to torment their classmates.
Caked-on Orange makeup for guys, and botox fish face for women still good though, right?

How about we stop gender affirming care for cis adults? Banning ED pills ought to do it. Also works to solve the problem of these fascists reproducing.
Amazing how the party of "freedom" chooses to ignore the nazi obsession of the shooter and instead focus on the gender identity of the shooter. How very "woke" of them.
However, let's be real here, they just want to make us all mad about this. They wouldn't go through with this as they don't really have the means to do it on a federal level. This is the issue with governance by trolling; It's pretty weak once you realize most of it is dog and pony show nonsense.
Regardless, let's all stand along the transgender community and call this shit out as it is: News manipulation to make a minority feel further unwelcome and create fear mongering around the misunderstood.
