And that bothers you why?

I honestly never hear about it except in political discussions.
It doesn’t. But it shouldn’t bother them when you fail to use their chosen plural pronouns, or refer to a man (pretending to be a woman) as a man, & vice versa, or instead of using the 8-10 digit acronym that seems to grow every year, just say alphabet people..
Just say "yo". Works for all occasions

Most Americans say there are only 2 genders…
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 71% of American Adults agree with the statement that “there are two genders, male and female,” including 57% who Strongly Agree.

Twenty-three percent (23%) disagree, including 10% who Strongly Disagree. These findings are just slightly changed from December 2021, when Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling sparked controversy by criticizing transgender ideology.

The trans issue would be at least somewhat less contentious if the pro trans side were willing to discuss the science of gender dysphoria honestly.

When trans people get brain scans their brains less characteristic of the sex that matches their primary sex characteristics.

If you don't have this there's no real argument that gender dysphoria is any different than a person that has a BMI of 23 and thinks their tremendously fat. But of course if we go down that road it means recognizing that sex differences might be innate and not the product of socialization or sexism.

So 56% support sex change while 54% think hormone therapy should be illegal?

They want to cut right to the point? That’s a rather odd dissection of the matter.

Utah primary schools ban Bible for 'vulgarity and violence'
The Utah decision was made this week by the Davis School District north of Salt Lake City after a complaint filed in December 2022. Officials say they have already removed the seven or eight copies of the Bible they had on their shelves, noting that the text was never part of students' curriculum.
...
A Texas school district last year pulled the Bible from library shelves after complaints from members of the public opposed to conservatives efforts to ban some books.

Last month, students in Kansas requested to have the Bible removed from their school library.
The bible goes down to friendly fire.

The Book of Mormon is apparently on the table as well.

Oh no! Norway has joined Finland, Sweden, and the UK, as well as Texas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Florida in banning "gender affirming care" for children.

The fascist MAGAs are taking over Scandinavia. :lol:

Wait, now we should be more like the Nordic countries? Does this mean universal healthcare is next? ;)

They didn't ban all "gender affirming care". The use of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and transition-related surgery will be restricted to research contexts and no longer be available in clinical settings. It would seem that social, psychological, and behavioral interventions will still be available and they are a part of "gender affirming care".

Being rational, we know so little about gender issues that it makes sense to be cautious. The use of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and transition-related surgery should be extremely rare. I trust doctors and parents to make those decisions much more than I trust a bunch of legislators with an agenda to push.

Continuing to be rational, we should also stop demonizing people that question their gender identity, regardless of their age. They typically have had a difficult life and are more likely to suffer from depression and/or drug use and commit suicide. They need compassion not scorn and ridicule. As Judge Robert Hinkle says 'Gender identity is real'
"The elephant in the room should be noted at the outset. Gender identity is real. The record makes this clear," Hinkle wrote in his ruling, adding that even a witness for the state agreed. Transgender medical treatment for minors is increasingly under attack, but has been available for over a decade and is endorsed by major medical associations, Hinkle noted.

You're the one mocking illiberals for lumping Armenians and Muslims with Latinos, Asians, Jews, and Black conservatives as white supremacists. I'm just asking are they being labelled white supremacist or just bigots? Bigotry and/or considering yourself superior isn't limited to white people.
