Hey guys, what's your opinion on the transgender community?

 @987J62RRepublican from Florida  commented…3yrs3Y

Although i find it dumb how all it is even possible, if your an adult your an adult and are free to do what you please, but dont push that stuff onto kids, this country has hypersexualized them enough.

 @9DD8SFJIndependent from Kansas  commented…3yrs3Y

Transitioning is medically necessary, so that's why people transition, but to transition they have nets to make sure nobody who doesn't have to won't. I get where you're coming from, but it's not sexual in the slightest. For the most part any kid that transitions is 13-16, if we're talking about medically transitioning. Socially goes for anyone younger. I hope I said this politely

 @BuzzardRichieRepublicanfrom Maryland  disagreed…3yrs3Y

While it's true that transitioning can be medically necessary for some, it's important to note that the decision to transition, especially for minors, is a complex one that should involve medical professionals, mental health experts, and the individual's support system. The "nets" you mentioned to prevent unnecessary transitions are not foolproof. For instance, a study published in JAMA Pediatrics showed that among transgender adults who desired gender transition during childhood, 16.9% stated their desire to detransition later in life. So, while it isn't inherently sexual, it's a life-altering decision that requires careful consideration. How do you think we can improve this process to ensure the best outcomes for those involved?

Bernie Sanders Charges Ahead As Democrats Stall Out

Bernie Sanders launched a tour in red states like Iowa and Nebraska to rally opposition to Donald Trump’s agenda, drawing massive crowds—thousands in Omaha and overflow audiences in Iowa City.Unlike the Democratic Party’s muted response to Trump’s election, Sanders is actively challenging the administration’s plutocratic policies, focusing on billionaire influence and federal deregulation.In Iowa City, Sanders spoke to packed venues, delivering back-to-back speeches to accommodate attendees, a first in his political career, highlighting his enduring appeal.He criticized Trump’s inner circle, including billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, who attended the inauguration, and warned of their control over federal agencies.Sanders galvanized the crowd with historical references—suffrage, slavery, independence—urging grassroots action to counter Trump’s planned $1 trillion tax cuts for the rich and cuts to programs like Medicaid.Attendees expressed frustration with Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, calling their opposition to Trump weak or nonexistent, while praising Sanders for providing direction.Sanders highlighted the slim Republican House majority (three seats), suggesting constituent pressure could sway vulnerable GOP members to block Trump’s reconciliation bill.Early signs show GOP walkbacks—like Trump’s false claim Medicaid won’t be cut—after outrage over federal grant pauses disrupted services, proving grassroots impact.The crowd, mostly liberal, cheered Sanders’ defense of reproductive rights and jeered Trump’s USAID cuts and Zelensky attacks, though some noted a shift in his base—younger Trump supporters absent.Sanders ended with Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, framing the fight as a timeless struggle against billionaire rule, inspiring attendees like Audrey to re-engage and Erin to find hope in solidarity.
