This got removed from politics because “Video links are not allowed” apparently? Pretty weird considering that most politicians say stuff on video nowadays and not really writing articles anymore since the invention of the radio pretty much lol. Hope it’s a better fit here, this is the kind of stuff people should be aware of.

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet.
Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well.
I call my girlfriend dude. It’s not a gendered name and it’s not meant as an insult either way. And I’m done arguing with you. When there’s a fascist as your opponent:
YOU VOTE AGAINST THE FASCIST.
It’s all hands on deck. I would t give a shit if they candidate was anti people-with-autism-that-live-in apartments-with-a-cat, I’d still vote for them against a fascist.
There is SO much more at stake here than issues that ONLY affect you, chicka. So to answer your question where I draw the line?
Between US and fascism. Period. That’s it- End of fucking story. And there are NO purity tests, and no entitlements on this side of it.
I don’t care what you think. I consider it gendered, and therefore don’t want to be called that.
Trans+, not trans. Try not assuming gender instead.
Cool, so you’ll sacrifice everything and everyone as long as it’s the right kind of fascist.
Jfc… I’m going to just block you to avoid all the possible ways you can be offended.
Have a good day.
