    So the Republican primary voters want more abortion? I am not sure we are talking about the same political party.

    Science doesn't have opinions. Science just looks at the chromosomes to determine the truth. Trust the science!

    Can Trump/Desantis win with ONLY the red vote?

    The extreme right is going to vote straight red ticket anyhow.

    Why not broaden your reach and compromise at 15/16 weeks?

    The point of my response to you was that you went off topic.

    I did call out people who would intentionally not interact with the Disney employee as bigots. And I have explained why. Change the person to a POC, wearing pants and a shirt, and if a person decides not to interact with him, that would be an example of racial bigotry. If you think bigotry can only be based on immutable characteristics, then change the person to a woman, same dress, but underneath, wearing a hijab with a head covering. If a person purposely decides not to interact with her because they believe she is Muslim, this would be a case of religious bigotry and based on clothing choices.

    I see purposely not interacting with the employee as an example of trans bigotry. You can choose not to interact with the guy, and keep your kids away from him. I'm also free to call it as I see it. And free to ask what is so bad about a guy in a dress that you would intentionally not interact with him, especially if that guy is a Disney employee, and being paid to ensure you and your family are having a good time.

    People choose not to interact with groups of other people every day. You take issue with some here because they don't want to interact with a hairy man in a princess outfit. Your previous post claim that is bigotry due to appearance. How is that different from anyone who dates? Is your spouse ugly? I am going to guess no. To you, your spouse is gorgeous. You made a decision that you did not want to spend the rest of your life with an ugly person. I know...I know, you are going to claim it is different. You ignored the ugly people, but you did not shun them. But is that really true? Maybe that is putting form over substance. Do you consider yourself a bigot towards ugly people? If you do, welcome to the club. Our membership includes about 100% of the population, because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Further, can you at least admit that that many, if not most, of the left leaning people on this thread would shun Chuck Norris carrying an American Flag and wearing a Trump Hat at an NRA rally. Both sides vilify and shun the other political side. Is that not bigotry?

    All true. And you should ask yourself why you feel the need to judge good Americans who are perhaps a bit more cautious in their parenting approach than you…then call them hateful names.
    Seems this thread has been healthy for you and others who are often quick to call people names.

    And what does the science say about this person? While admittedly an anomaly she has a condition called AIS, she was born with XY chromosomes and external female genitalia.

    Person had no idea she was intersex until she read magazine article about word at 27 | Daily Mail Online
    Here's a photo of another person with the same condition.

    Science recognizes the difference between genetic sex and gender, which is why those words are not synonyms in scientific publications. Here is a good discussion on the topic:

    What Do We Mean By Sex and Gender?

    Yes, both people vilify and shun the other political side. Two wrongs don't make a right. I admit, I judge people wearing MAGA gear in a negative light at first sight. But I also remind myself that people I love, friends and family, are MAGA, and I shouldn't give into my own prejudice, and get to know a person before I pass judgement based on outward appearance only. Am I perfect? Far from it, as I'm human and we all have bad moments, days, weeks, etc. But if the entire world would stop judging based on first impressions only, and we concentrated on our similarities more than our differences, we'd all be better for it.

    And yes, I think my wife is beautiful. And no, I didn't date people I considered unattractive. But that's personal preference, and I have nothing against other people who have dated and married people I personally do not find attractive. I wouldn't go out of my way to avoid interacting with other couples because they aren't as good looking as I think my wife and I are. Nor would I denigrate a person's spousal choice, because we all are different, with different tastes, and if two people love each other enough to marry and hopefully stay married, good for them. And zero harm to me.

    So I ask again, if we replace Bob with a female wearing a hijab, and a person purposely turns his family away as to not interact with someone they believe is Muslim, is that not religious bigotry? If yes, then how is people choosing not to interact with Bob not trans bigotry?

    I do not mean this with any disrespect.
    But it doesn’t look like you’re understanding the points being made.

    You know your society has had it good for a long time when you can focus on gender dysphoria. This is aimed at both freaking sides. We are having this culture war over less than 1% of the total population.

    You are right. I don't. I'm not asking anyone to date Princess Bob or marry him. Just treat him just like a woman in the same dress, doing the same job. And don't understand why anyone wouldn't do that. What is the worst that would happen if you interacted with Bob?

    If I wanted my daughter to grow up to be a man, I’d probably agree with you.
