How does recognizing that a female has a vagina and a male has a penis "deny" anyone a "place" in society?

Hint: It doesn't.

Your angry, hateful religion offends me and I'm sick of having it forced on me and seeing it everywhere I go. But, I have to deal with it. I would never advocate banning your faith like you want to ban my existence.

So how will this trickle down to competitive sports?

I was saving up my nickels & dimes in hopes one day I could watch a tranny who calls himself a female put a wallop on a real woman in a live MMA match. Equal rights and equal lefts!!

This president has one objective. Divide, destroy and exclude.

Trump has a nerve attacking people as basically not being human--when he has a kid who could be the missing link.
Um, that's the goal of all presidents. Obama used this strategy also.

When will people get a clue?

Faith is banned from schools and government.

TG is PROMOTED in schools and government.

How do you see religion everywhere you go? Do you live on a block of churches?

They just don't deserve specific, special civil rights that are based solely on the way they feel.

OR BECAUSE OF THEIR SEXUAL PREFERENCE!

They won't. People actually think there's a difference between Team Read and Team Blue.

How could it be used that way? Nobody is disadvantaged by reality except frauds and charlatans.
So unless trannies are trying to deceive someone this can't be used to "disadvantage" them.

I know. It's so sad. I keep hoping someday that people will wake up.
