Haven't watched the big network news for over a year now, but just tuned in to local news for tomorrow's weather.
What I got was a bleating lecture on how my home state, Tennessee, is "attacking" (their words) the LGBTQ community.
How is my state attacking LGBTQ people? We passed laws that prevent trans people from playing sports on teams they don't belong in, require schools to give parents 60 days notice if they plan to teach about LGBTQ topics, and other common sense laws.
The worst statement I heard was, "Trans women ARE women, trans men ARE men..." and that's when I turned them off.
The TV station in question is WBIR, Channel 10, in Knoxville. I can get weather from the Weather Channel and I don't need WBIR's stupid leftist sermonizing. Begone, you children of Satan, you're not welcome in my home anymore.
"Trans women ARE women, trans men ARE men..."
Sounds like a conspiracy theory, if someone ever says this around you folks it’s irresponsible to not demand proof of this ‘theory’.
Additionally, when I hear people say that gender is “assigned” at birth, I always correct them and say no gender is observed at birth.
A more precise statement would be that gender (or sex) is determined at conception....unless you want to get into a more theological discussion and say that gender (sex) is determined by God long before conception.
That’s true too, I was referring to how they claim that somehow a doctor is oppressing them by writing down the sex they see at birth by claiming they were instead “assigned a gender” by the doctor.
Ah...how silly is that? We need a serious purge in America.
