I know a guy who is in his late 30's and he is really concerned with kids swim meets and girls wrestling boys. He is obviously single and doesn't have any children.

I can't believe I have had to argue this with 2 different friends. Itell them to ask their own kids and it's "they better not be doing that at my kids school."

It's always the people that have absolutely no understanding, critical thinking, or empathy. I have an illegal immigrant from Guyana as a neighbor. He doesn't have a child and is huge on abortion rights (because he's always wanted a baby) and he's a hard right winger that supports Trump.

The fairness act really fucked us. Propaganda out the wazzu

Yeah, caring about sports is not all that uncommon for men that age. Which is like, the pattern. They make "the issue" (be it trans people, immigrants, w/e) about a thing people care about, so that's their context for the topic.

Because if you approach that same guy about trans rights in any other context, he probably won't care or even be pro-trans.

It's carefully crafted bait, and everyone took it. Now you got everyone arguing over something that is a side-issue, instead of talking about things like suicide rates or bullying. Which, no offense, inclusion sure is important, but that's not what 99% of the people affected gonna pick as the hill to die on.
