The gathering on Tuesday marks the first time that transgender leaders have mobilized for a presidential candidate.

    Perhaps a bit too much. Trans rights are human rights, but their rights shouldn’t impede the rights of others. No, I don’t have specific examples, I just think this is a good general rule. If no impeding is happening, we don’t have a problem.

      What rights could they be impeding on by existing, taking up space, and not wanting to be discriminated against for doing so. Because the rights of the individual stop when it affects the rights of the other. A concept that mainly affects the religious, who are also the group most lost to the concept. That and white supremacists.

        Exactly my point as well.

          And you have no examples of this happening in regards to transrights. So what was the point of your posts other than posting dog whistles in trans friendly spaces?

            I don’t need to present examples for this (= rights should not impede rights) to be a valid general position. Not everything is a dog whistle.

              If it’s a generality, why bother bringing it up about trans rights? That’s why commenters are saying it’s a dog whistle.

                ‘Perhaps a bit to much.’ was the tip off for me. Perhaps vga is astroturfing for the GOP. I don’t really know. Just asking questions.

                Probably some sort of a clashing of bubbles that’s due to social media being a broken thing. We are all imagining our own version of what is being reported and what people are saying and then extrapolating from that the character of the other people talking.

                My fault obviously for entering the discussion in the first place. I wasn’t trying to even accomplish anything, just procrastinating. It’s not as if anyone’s gonna change their minds based on these discussions. Everyone’s just trying to “win” them, whatever the fuck that means.

        I’m sure I could find a situation where it has indeed happened, but that would only serve to further incite hatred. I don’t want to do that.

        I’m talking about general principles here.

          You sound like Tucker Carlson just asking questions with your Perhaps a bit to much and your refusal to present any evidence as to why you would think it’s perhaps a bit to much.

          Dog whistling 101.
