@RyanHolmanNetwork What irrational hatred? I'm showing love for a woman, standing up for women. Men don't belong in women's sports. What's truly irrational, is pretending a man is a woman, and letting him destroy sporting events with his unfair biological advantage.

[@AlexLefevreArt]

@RyanHolmanNetwork consensus? The only data you can find is that they indeed observe transgenderism, and are studying it. But there is literally no other finding on the topic to date. If fact where absolute, there wouldn't any debate. Also, I don't have anything against transgender per se, but I personally understand much better transexual. That being said, it doesn't matter whoever identify as what, but it does really matter if the T community make it only about them, without care for other people that are a vaste majority. And that part is genuinely upsetting. People who publicly thrive for open mindness and acceptance, cannot stand other way of thinking. Sounds very discriminatory to me. The vaste majority of my community is gay (because artists, you know): almost all of them aren't LGBT anymore, because they feel betrayed and stained. Are they discriminatory? Or something is indeed not quite right? And It's not an isolated phenomenon. It's everywhere and growing. But it's not in the trend so why talking about it? GayAgainstGroomers and TransAgainstGroomers represent together 350k community, and fastly growing... Are they discriminatory? Let's stop this absolute non-sense.

Riley Gains should run for congress. She is extremely well spoken and has one hundred percent common sense unlike the dread monster setting next to her. I am 79 years young. When I was a kid, my mother had an uncle who was Uncle Jack to everybody. Uncle Jack and his buddy Charlie lived together. When I was a kid, my parents would go a visit Uncle Jack and Charlie. It was always fun at their place. As my sister and I got older we came to realize Uncle Jack and Charlie were gay. My parents certainly knew that all along and never said one negative thing about them. I know Uncle Jack and Charlie never demanded anyone pay attention to their lifestyle or what went on behind their closed doors and both lived good lives. America was so much better back then. The old saying, if it's not broke don't fix it. The Woke can't comprehend that.

This topic isn't about gay people or sexual orientation. This is about Trans activism, gender ideology and cultural Marxism. Most gays and lesbians live a normal life. We were happy to have laws that prevented job loss, discrimination, and things like asset protection, or a loved one being recognized as family for 'family only' hospital visits etc. Lia Thomas is a heterosexual male. He is attracted to women and calls himself a "lesbian". Most of these "Trans women" are straight males with a fetish called autogynephilia and are using LGBT orgs (who are corrupt and out to make as much $ as possible) to push themselves into women's spaces, change rooms- to be able to live their fetish 24/7 and force women to participate in it.
