Donald Trump had recently finished a familiar riff about banning gender transition surgery for children when the former president, speaking to an audience of Evangelical voters, moved on to something new: a policy that would affect transgender adults. “I will ban all taxpayer funding for sex or gender transitions at any age,” said Trump, receiving thunderous applause at the Faith & Freedom Coalition conference in Washington last month. The Republican leader, who moments earlier had also pledged to reinstate a ban on transgender men and women serving in the military, paused for several seconds to soak in the crowd’s adulation.

Obviously. This was always the plan.

You think a bunch of old white Republican men were actually passionate about high school girls’ sports? No, it was just a game they were playing until they could start speaking openly. The goal is to push the anti-trans laws as much as possible and be as oppressive as possible.

Yet again, the party of small government wants to permanently live in people's pants. I wish they believed their own bullshit enough to actually stand for something other than just basic hate and taking rights they don't like from others.

These people make me sick, fucking Nazi bastards. If Trump gets in power again, a LOT of people are going to suffer.

Well, basically anyone not a white male I imagine.

Anyone who thinks that this wasn’t always the next step in the plan hasn’t studied history.

A Christian Nation is very Un-American, but these religious nuts and politician craving power want this.

Stop voting for Republicans, they don't believe in our democracy. And be sure to vote like it matters, because it does.

This was always going to be the next thing. Solidarity to all my trans friends (B with T is, sadly, not strong enough at times).

They know their base.

We need to wake the fuck up. They'll come for every last one of us they consider degenerate in the end.
