He's talking about this

TC you should put more effort into your thread.
There's a lot involved from gun rights, to trans advocacy, mental health, legislation passed against child sex changes, and a mass shooting that happened recently at a Christian elementary school.
You could have given more context just saying.
Skarwolf just wants to vent and hate on folks.
I don't really agree with the trans movement at the moment--I think they need to GTFO out of the schools, for starters, because 3rd graders don't need to hear that shit...let's stick to, you know, school stuff like math, history, and science--but I'm also not going to say they can't have a day of recognition or protest.
We don't have to like it, folks, but we sure as shit have to tolerate it and, if the cause is right, even support it.
Also, how many of you have actually met trans people and had a conversation with them? I think you're letting stereotypes dictate your beliefs; they're not all outspoken pink-haired folks. In fact I don't think I've met a single one that was like that.
I agree with you. Personally I don't agree with gender ideology being taught in schools, also don't agree with putting minors on hormones/puberty blockers. These are my lines. But people as adults should be allowed to do what they want. Adults can make those lifelong decisions for their bodies but it's not right for minors to imo.
But I have nothing against trans people. A good friend of mine from college is trans, woman>man. Before he transitioned, "she" at the time, was basically a butch lesbian. We both played drums and would get drunk and jam together, even would have "locker room talk" about chicks we hooked up with. It was like hanging out with any dude. So it didn't surprise me one bit when "he" decided to transition. (Breasts removed, went on testosterone)
But I'll be honest he struggles with it. Those hormones are expensive and once your on them you can't just stop without it destroying you both physically and mentally. It's a big deal to go through that kind of stuff. Which is why I don't like it being pushed on kids. It's an adult decision. Even some adults have a hard time dealing with it once it's done.
As far as the "day of trans vengeance" protests.. really bad timing. We just had a trans person shoot up an elementary school. The posters for the protest I saw, some of them have Guns on the poster... To me this "protest" is being promoted as a violent protest... Or riot. But yes everyone has a right to protest. But the optics for this protest are pretty bad given the recent tragedy and using words like "vengeance" and pictures of rifles on your promo posters.. yikes, not good optics.
And as a side note I fully support 2A rights. I support everyone to legally carry, regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation. I believe everyone should own a firearm. I support teachers carrying firearms in schools as well.
