Incorrect.

I've been to Thailand many times, a place that is very tolerant of trans and has many trans in movies, shows, models, politicians, and public officials.

I have never heard of any problem in Thailand of kids unaliving themselves because they couldn't get gender affirming care. Mind you, these are kids who are far poorer than Americans. These kids simply wait until they're adults, work, save money, then get their surgery.

These are cosmetic procedures and treatments that require adult aged choices.

See the post immediately before yours. Thailand is obviously a different culture and economy.

Props to Riley Gaines and a few others, but this should have been a deafening dissent. Unfortunately, that is the power of the tranny lobby. Hopefully, this is the beginning of the end of that nonsense.

There are two genders. Just because you "identify" as a woman, if you're a 6', 200lb male, you're a guy. Perhaps a guy with a lot of mental issues, but a guy nonetheless, regardless of your pronouns.
For most women's sports there's no way to really monetize it at a professional level so the real benefits lie in getting sports scholarships and the window for earing those is small. These young women can't risk missing out on those opportunities so they are easily intimidated into silence. Plus many of them are brainwashed by the schools.

But, you're OK with government forcing bakers to bake cakes and other over reaches. Wow, talk about hypocritical.

Yeah...me, too. By why would we be surprised? They were vilified by MSM for not playing along.

The transwomen competing against biological women thing is all over the news, but you never hear about it the other way around. You'd never have see a transman competing against biological men in a wrestling league or track and field - they wouldn't be competitive.

Actually...

Note that the then-teenage boy wanted to compete with other boys but was denied the opportunity because, of course, Texas.

I'm sure there are other stories about trans boys and men who do participate in men's athletics who don't necessarily expect to dominate. It's almost if as they just want to compete in the identity to which they prescribe...

Other recent stories about trans male athletes.

https://wsuathletics.com/news/2023/3...niversity.aspx

https://olympics.com/en/news/transge...ofessional-win

If you google "trans male athletes", you'll see photos of twelve notable men.

Conservative media doesn't focus on them, however, because they're perceived as less threatening to cis males. However, if the logic about "bathroom behavior" were consistent then there would be worry from conservatives about trans boys and men being assaulted by cis men. But that apparently doesn't fit the narrative...
