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.

@9GNT6FH from Texas agreed…12mos12MO

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.

North Dakota judge strikes down state's abortion ban

A state district judge struck down North Dakota's abortion ban Thursday, saying that the state constitution creates a “fundamental right” to access abortion before a fetus is viable. District Judge Bruce Romanick wrote in an order that the abortion law — one of the strictest in the nation — was too vague.The court concluded that pregnant women in the state have a "fundamental right to choose abortion before viability exists under the enumerated and unenumerated interests protected by" the state's constitution."The Court concludes [the law] violates the Constitution of the State of North Dakota and is void for vagueness and of no effect," the order stated.Romanick wrote that implicit in the right to personal autonomy, liberty and happiness is "a woman’s right and responsibility to decide what her pregnancy demands of her in the context of her life and in the context of her health.""Prior to viability, a woman must retain the ultimate control over her own destiny, her own body, and ultimately the path of her life," he continued. "A woman’s choice of whether or not to carry a pregnancy to term shapes the very nature and future course of her life, on nearly every possible level. The Court finds that such a choice, at least pre-viability, must belong to the individual woman and not to the government. "

Obama Shames Black Men For Not Support For Harris

Barack Obama is urging Black men to step up their support for Kamala Harris, a sign that her campaign is worried about what is typically a reliable demographic for Democrats.Referencing reports that support for Harris is lagging among Black males, the former president gave what amounted to a scolding as he made an unscheduled stop at a campaign field office in Pittsburgh.“You’re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses, I’ve got a problem with that,” he said. “Because part of it makes me think— and I’m speaking to men directly— part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”
