So anyone who is against the woke trans ideology is a bigot according to you…Um ok…
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.
No indeed. I have a good Korean friend and she’s not, many in the older Korean community can be quite racist. Toward other POC’s as well as honkies like me.

I hate to break it to ya, but Armenians and Turks and such are Caucasian.
Oh don’t worry, I’m sure the brown Muslims who are against the woke trans ideology are included.
Trans is an ideology?

I just wanted to make sure you knew the origin of the word Caucasian.

The movement has become akin to an ideology.

Armenians and Turks would be Caucasions (of the Caucuses) western Europeans wouldn’t.

Utah district's Bible ban spurs protest by parents, Republicans
State Rep. Ken Ivory, the sensitive materials law’s Republican sponsor, rebuffed the idea that his law paved the way for the Bible to be banned. Though he defended the review process after the sacred text's removal, he said on Wednesday that the Davis School District had overstepped its role by removing the Bible from middle and elementary schools because of criteria not in state law.
Oh, the hypocrisy! Oh the conundrum! If they write the laws to exclude books like the bible (and European focused history) it will be evident that they are targeting LGBTQ+ (and POC) books and the laws will have a harder time passing Constitutional muster.

Should they write the laws so they can pass Constitutional muster but also be used against books and topics near and dear to their heart or should they write what they really mean and put their bigotry on display for all?

Wait, I thought the Europeans were suppose to be the more tolerant and liberal ones? :suspicious:
The U.S. is becoming an outlier among many Western nations in the way its national medical institutions treat children suffering from distress over gender identity.

For years, the American healthcare industry has staunchly defended medical interventions for transgender minors, including puberty blockers, which suppress the physical changes of adolescence as a treatment for those distressed over their gender.

The European medical community, by contrast, is expressing doubts about that approach. Having allowed these treatments for years, five countries—the U.K., Sweden, Finland, Norway, and France — now urge caution in their use for minors, stressing a lack of evidence that the benefits outweigh the risks.

This month, the U.K.’s publicly funded National Health Service limited the use of puberty blockers to clinical trials, putting the drugs beyond the reach of most children.…
