That's the United States of Trump for you ... ;)

You reap what you sow.

[natina]

They been doing that even before Trump but it changed under Obama.
Now it's back and worst under trump!

THE LGBTQ CENTERS HAVE LOST FUNDING and the center on highland/Santa Monica for homeless TG teenagers had no money funding.

The only problem is over half of the eligible voters here didn't vote for Drumpf. The electoral college is a cancer.

[natina]

The people who did not vote at all also help trump get elected. .

[Ripjags]

True that!

Common Sense finally prevails.

As unpopular as it is with Leftists, folks with a dick still attached should not be housed in places sheltering women and children.

I'm sorry Trans people somewhat fall into the "not fish, not fowl" category, but you need to do what is safest for the women and children.

Just imagine if a women's shelter has to let a man stay there if he wears a dress and claims to be transsexual; a recipe for disaster. Just for the record I don't think transexuals themselves for the most part are dangerous to women and children (but I do think men pretending to be transsexual in order to access women's bathrooms and women's shelters are a danger to said women).

Threads like this make it seem that the Trump Administration is being mean to transexuals for the sake of being mean to transexuals. As stated above there is a good rationale for the policy change.

Shelters don't house random adults with women and children. A women's shelter should have no problem providing rooms for transwomen. Children are housed with their parents, otherwise they end up in foster care.

Pretending the Trump administration's change in policy is a safety issue for non-transpeople living in shelters is bullshit.


And where are right wingers getting this fantasy that heterosexual men are marauding around in makeup and high heels pretending to be trans so they can prey on unsuspecting women and children???

Trump is already trying to kick transpeople out of the military. The man is an asshole.

[mildcigar_2001]

The Military is for defending the country, and is not a social science experiment. It is somewhat obvious that you never bothered to serve in the military, and have nary a clue concerning national defense.


While Transsexuals are generally nice folks, with their accompanying issues they don't belong in the military.

As for safety get a clue:

^Are you also against women in infantry positions?

[mildcigar_2001]

Yes.

Women on average are not of the size and strength to fight on the front lines (and yes there are exceptions to this general rule).

In this particular case supposably "woke" policy will get more woman and men killed.

There is a good reason for the military having height and weight restrictions even among men.

It is sad that in today's hyper-politically correct climate that if you merely point out the obvious you are labeled (take your pick) racist, sexist, transphobic, etc.

[javier81]

Well, your rhetoric is spot on, anyways.

You do realize most people in the military don't serve on the front lines of a combat zone?? Trump's anti-trans policy for service is blatant discrimination, nothing more.
If he could do the same thing to gays, he would.

Posts above reveal what a sad, cruel country the USA can be. Transgendered Americans, particuarly those in their teens, are a tiny part of the population, and when rejected by their family, their friends, and if they have one, their community, they live marginal lives. Lives that are unstable because they have no work, no education, nowhere to live -and quite often, have noone to love who loves them.

So the richest country in the world, instead of paying the costs -peanuts- for a basic service, denies them even that, why? Because it plays well with the voters in Alabama or some rural town that has never seen a transgendered person, but assumes they are sisters of Jezebel designed to destroy the values of America? When transgendered women are being beaten to death, shot to death, where are the voices raised to remember them rather than the mythical beasts of the bible?

Cruel, insensitive, cheap -we can be sure many, maybe most American citizens know their country can do better, but who is going to stand up for the rights of their equals when citizen's rights have been the casualty of an administration that applauds itself every time rights are taken away from Americans?

Every time across the world we think we have made a step forward, we are forced to take two step backwards. But if we give up we give the world to those who made a mess of it in the past. The past is not a foreign country, it is where live, now.

Trans folks are apparently only sexual fantasies to some people. They have no place in real life. That’s been established on this thread. Thumb me down if you want; I said what I said.

Well, when you live in a country that cares more about fetuses than the people they become.....

[Dudedude12345]

What pisses me off about what the administration is that regardless of what you see transpeople, they still need shelter. Since i don't support anti LGBT shelters i wouldn't have to worry about them takimg my money

Exactly

Where were you on November 8th 2016? Did you bother to vote? Do not blame the Russians for the election disaster in the US. They may have helped swing a few votes, but it was the gringos themselves who voted for Trump, not the Russians. Donald Trump won fair and square under the weird electoral system of the US. And the most amazing thing... Trump may very well be re-elected in 2020.

Next time you're with a t-girl who you are paying for sex, make sure and tell her everything you said above. I'd like to hear how that goes...
