Top Agreement
Gender has never been connected to biological sex, and many biology and anatomy books will agree, even books from decades ago. Not only that, the amount of death or harassment directed towards those who have a differing Gender Identity is vastly larger than other situations and should be legally addressed, and taken into account for hate crimes.
@9GNT6FH6mos6MO
Yes, it is dangerous to allow hate crimes to take place against all minorities. The fact that the right for someone to live as they see themselves is under scrutiny by conservatives around the world is honestly sad. As a victim of the policies that this change in tone has brought, it angers me that so many people are indifferent to this issue. Gender affirming care has shown to decrease risks of suicide and increase quality of life for those afflicted with Gender Dysphoria(GD). Puberty blockers should be accessible to anyone that requires them(I'm looking at you, Senate Bill 14 and other similar laws) and hormones should be available to gender diverse kids from the age of 16 onwards. The "party of small government" interfering with my and many others' personal lives is ironic and hypocritical.
@9GNCQKW 6mos6MO
Simply from public exposure that I've seen from my brother's girlfriend who happens to be trans has been disgusting to see, with people simply not being able to both comprehend and accept the idea of people expressing who they truly are.
@Porge0Republican6mos6MO
No, it is more disgusting that someone can support a person who doesn't even accept something as basic and set-in-stone as their own sex. If that person cannot even accept who they really are, they should not be surprised that others don't accept THEM.
@9KSPT951mo1MO
We do accept ourselves, which is why we need certain medicines and therapy so we can be happy and not think that we would be better off dead because of people like you
@9GNT3XBProgressive6mos6MO
I agree with this comment about gender identity. I wish people would be more open to understanding and accepting that people aren't one thing or the other. We're a spectrum of things, and our gender identity is a part of who we are.
@9GNSN9Q6mos6MO
I agree it is horrible that people are mistreating people based on what they recognize themselves as people should be allowed to be whatever they want to unless it breaks a law or harm others.
@9H5KCKZ5mos5MO
yes there are many people who have been killed, committed suicide and ect. because of discrimination and people trying to control them.
@9F8M5JL8mos8MO
According to multiple studies done between 2015 and 2020, gender-affirming care decreases the risk of severe depression/suicidal tendencies by 60-70%. Many people who are against gender-affirming care say that they are trying to protect the transitioning person, but in reality, transitions can save and greatly improve the lives of transgender/non-binary people.
@9FBP5L37mos7MO
The United states consist of a large number of different minorities, yet people are still discriminated against and it is a major problem in the US.
@9GJQ2LW6mos6MO
Transgender individuals are one of the most at-risk minority groups and face constant attacks to defend their mere existence.
@9GTH47T6mos6MO
The Office of Research on Women's Health states that gender is a multidimensional construct that encompasses gender identity and expression, which associates with social and cultural expectations about status. It has also been shown by science that there is more to your chromosomes than the simple XX or XY.
Statistically, a higher percent of people not in the gender binary have a higher chance to commit suicide. The government should put plans into motion to prevent suicide from becoming a rampant problem amongst the younger generations.
@9G63DFRProgressive7mos7MO
By discriminating people solely off their gender identity it increases the suicidal thoughts and ideals in those individuals causing them to either collapse or end it all further dividing our country as a whole.
@9G99SY7Independent6mos6MO
Discrimination is an awful thing and there are people who are treated horribly just because they are different and that’s not ok. The government needs to protect minorities from discrimination.
@9GR68856mos6MO
Trangender teenagers and children have some of the highest suicide rates in the United States compared to other minorities or children. This is an issue that needs to be discussed.
@9FMZHJM7mos7MO
If you have a good reason to turn down someone based on their gender, which has no affect on you, then explain that reason and make it make sense with proof.
@9LS5Y7JProgressive1 day1D
A lot of anatomy books will agree that gender and sex are different. We need to protect everyone, no matter what, because a hate crime is a hate crime period, even if you don't support the person being hate-crimed..
@9FLKZYM7mos7MO
there's only two genders , there is no such thing has gender identity your either a biological male or female
@9F9ZQX77mos7MO
There are 2 genders: male and female. People can identity as either male or female, but should never victimize themselves over their “gender identity.”
