But we were told no one would ever abuse being able to change their legally recognised gender with no oversight???
They did it specifically as a troll. Just because someone wants to be an asshole doesn’t mean that you should deny the rights of others. It also further shows that it is not the transgender community to be fearful of, but of right wing shitbirds.
Yeah we know, we warned about this happening with both trolls and predators.
Are you saying there are no transgender criminals?
A neo-nazi evades justice after trying to abuse a system and finding out they will still have to serve time, and you use it to attack a marginalized community.
Reasonable people have been warning this would happen and were shouted down because you can’t dare to offer criticism or you’re a bigot. Look where that has gotten everyone.
Please show me on the strawman where I attacked anyone.
You claimed transpeople need to be policed because people who literally aren't even us will abuse our rights.
.... yes there should be a reasonable check to ensure Nazis aren't abusing the system you absolute genius
Damn, that goal post shifted in a single comment!
Everything will be taken advantage of by someone. We should just do nothing. Except that will get taken advantage of somehow so fuck it.
Or you put entirely reasonable checks and balances in place to filter out the bad actors, improving community safety and trust.
What the fuck are you talking about
Some people use their hands to punch people, so perhaps we should cut your hands off so you can't hurt people with them.
That's basically the logic you're using.
Ahh I see, so there shouldn’t be any checks on people purchasing firearms as there is no possible impact to others!
What an insightful comment
Firearms are literally designed to kill, that is their function.
Nah we gotta cut off everyone’s hands right? That’s how logic works isn’t it? Nothing works unless it applies 100% to 100% of possible situations
