Biden admin calls transgender athletes in school sports "complicated"
"It is truly a complicated issue, with a wide range of views, truly a wide range of views," Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Tuesday.
"It is a complicated issue. It is truly a complicated issue, with a wide range of views, truly a wide range of views," Jean-Pierre said. "There is no 'yes or no' answer to this, it is complicated. There is a rule that the Department of Education [DOE] has put forward, and we're going to let that process move forward, and again, we want to make sure that while we establish guardrails with this rule, we also prevent discrimination, as well, against transgender kids. But again, a complicated issue with a wide range of views, and we respect that."
"Absolutely no reason for the Biden admin to do this," New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wrote. "It is indefensible and embarrassing. The admin can still walk this back, and they should. It's a disgrace."
"Honestly, this move by Biden to push a rule on trans kids in sports is not only a backwards betrayal, it [forces] us to have to spend our time dealing with god d*** sports instead of criminal bans on our healthcare," Alejandra Caraballo, a civil rights attorney and LGBTQ+ advocate, wrote. "He could have just done nothing. This is legitimizing transphobia."

"A complicated issue with a wide range of views, and we respect that" Fuck off out of here with that "centrist" nonsense. There's nothing complicated about it, and it's not an issue unless you want to turn it into one and want to appeal to people's emotions like Republicans are doing. It was only a matter of time before they'd start throwing trans people under the bus. I guess with the coming elections it's as good a time as ever.
You're viewing a single thread.
Oh nice this is on /all/ now. I'd just like to say that anyone that supports democrats after this deserves to be hit by a truck. That is all.
Eat shit, I genuinely hope physical harm comes to you.
On a tangential note, arm lgbt people.
some lemm.ee lib reported this for “advocating violence” lol. theres a couple references to accidental physical harm and self defense, but no advocacy for illicit, intentional violence!
The violence being perpetrated against trans people by liberals happened first. I have dead friends because of these fucks.
Fighting back is self defence. They advocated for institutional violence first. What do you think rules and laws are when they're targeted against the marginalised? If any of us break them do you think the system asks us nicely not to? No. It commits violence. That's not even considering the amount of trans people that actively kill themselves over the day to day hellscape liberals have created for the marginalised, but most particularly for trans people.
Eat shit libs. All you care about is brunch and treats while everyone beneath you gets fucking crushed.
@JudahBenHur@lemm.ee think about this ^ before making dumb reports
sorry, I was thinking about brunch and was distracted. I should probably eat shit and have physical violence done to me. keep fighting the good fight out there
I'm glad that you're completely unaffected by this and don't give a shit but for those of us that are affected you need to realise almost all of us have dead friends (plural, for some of us it's dozens) over transphobic policy making and we absolutely regard you as responsible for those deaths. Maybe this will put into some perspective why seeing you physically feel what we feel might crack something in you that lets you feel a little bit of fucking empathy.
Did any of this go through your mind before you decided to barrel in here and utterly disregard the obvious nature of trans people hurting? Nah. You didn't give a fuck because you're a transphobic bag of shit without emotions.
Every single person that supports anything killing the people I love absolutely deserves physical harm and to be tossed out of any future socialist country. If I had my way I'd make a ridiculous spectacle of it. You'd be loaded into giant overpowered novelty circus cannons and launched into the sea where you can figure out where you want to swim, not my problem.
Eat shit. This is not a joke, this is not a game, people die over this shit. This is the real world and you're talking to the real people affected by it communicating their emotions in the absolutely raw way they deserve to be communicated. Have some fucking respect and stop being an animal.
In a better world, the right-wing position is to give every LGBT+ person an assault rifle. The centrist position is to give every LGBT+ person a bazooka. The left-wing position is to give every LGBT+ person a railgun. The communist position is to give every LGBT+ person a heavily-armed 30 foot tall mech.
