    Representative Shriver asked, “In terms of endgame, why are we allowing these practices for anyone?”

    Because trans people doing this for themselves to themselves doesn’t hurt or harm you in any way whatsoever.

    “If we are going to stop this for anyone under 18, why not apply it for anyone over 18?”

    First, I don’t think it should be banned for under 18. However for those over 18 are adults that are able to make their own choices.

    It’s harmful across the board, and that’s something we need to take into consideration in terms of the endgame."

    How is it harmful? Even empty conservative arguments about homosexuality being bad in the bible don’t apply to trans people. Conservatives only apparent reason for harming trans people is you don’t like it. If that’s the bar, then whats to stop others from banning conservatism itself because there are lots of people that don’t like it?

      That’s the fun part, as far as they’re concerned, they do. To them, someone who’s trans is still the same as their assigned birth gender. So mtf trans is still male to them. Therefore, it is gay for a man to have sex with a trans women and can get you damned to hell. It’s why “trap” went from referring to femboys with sexuality conversion fetishes to referring to trans people. Many of them literally believe it’s an attempt to “trap” straight men into being gay. Go even further right, and you start running into people who believe trans people are literally agents of Satan sent to claim the souls of good, straight Christian men.

      Soooo… Yeah. That’s why evangelical christians tend to lose their shit about trans people.

      It doesn’t make sense. People like these build their careers around the fear of the other: foreigners, immigrants, crossdressers, homosexuals, transgender, socialists, communists, etc. Any group that’s small enough that a significant portion of the population doesn’t know any members. They spread lies about how these evil minority groups are out to get special rights and your stuff, then campaign on protecting you from them. They’re absolutely the worst kind of people.

        Wilhoit’s law:

        Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
