It takes a special brand of amoral ------- to be a self-admitted troll

I'm a borderline Hall of Fame troll, Alexandrite. I easily elicit multiple responses with a single post. And it doesn't take any effort.

The hate filled bigots who are currently implementing a genocide against American transgender folk deny the very basic science that demonstrates that transgenderism is a biological issue, that transgenderism is an actual thing that exists.

These hate filled bigots are incapable of the most basic human empathy for others and are implementing a concerted effort to remove transgender people from existence. It is inhumane and disgusting.

These hate filled bigots should start from the simple premise that this is something that they don't understand, does not impact their lives and they should STFU about it. Let trans people exist.

"What does the brain have to do with identity?!"

-the hate filled brigade

Scientific research indicates that transgender identities have a biological basis, with studies showing brain structures in transgender individuals that often align more closely with their experienced gender than their assigned sex at birth. Evidence suggests these neurobiological differences, along with potential genetic and prenatal hormonal influences, contribute to a fundamental sense of gender identity

Brain Structure and Function: Research, such as studies on brain scans, indicates that transgender people often display brain characteristics more similar to their experienced gender. For example, the hypothalamus in some transgender individuals may show, in terms of volume and neuron number, a closer match to their identified gender than their sex assigned at birth.
Biological Basis: Evidence points to potential factors like prenatal hormone levels and genetic influences, rather than a single cause. Research suggests a link between transgender identity and variations in genes related to hormone processing (e.g., estrogen and androgen).
Neurobiology and Development: Research suggests that gender identity, which may be established by prenatal hormone exposure, can differ from sex assigned at birth. Studies on brain structure suggest that these differences may arise during prenatal development.
Brain Structure Similarities: Studies have found that transgender individuals' brains exhibit functional and structural, with some brain regions appearing similar to cisgender individuals with the same gender identity.
Gender Identity vs. Sex Assigned at Birth: Studies show that brain structures can differ between transgender individuals and cisgender individuals, with some brain regions in transgender individuals, such as the white matter fiber tracts, being more consistent with their experienced gender.

You see, science

Setting aside that this never happened:
Are you saying the science can't be questioned?

The only one's questioning it are the hate filled bigots

A woman is an adult human female. Period.

You're wrong

A biological male can identify as a woman.

As evident by the millions of biological males who have and do identify as women

There is a term for them

Trans women

Like there is a term for biological male/females (as having both sex organs) who identify as women

Intersex women

Are you denying that an intersex woman is a woman?

Not sure why I ask you because you are a lying hatefilled bigot

To be crystal clear

Scientists have created that definition of a woman based on scientific observations of millions if not billions of human beings over multiple cultures over millennia of human existence.

It really is that simple

Something exists, scientists identify it as existing and provide a descriptive label for said thing

Has happened for millennia of human existence.

A woman is someone who identifies as a woman

there are

cis women who were born with female anatomy and identify as women
trans women who were born with male anatomy and identify as women
intersex women who were born with both male and female anatomy and identify as women

Why is this so hard for people to understand?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH Yeah, hatefilled --------

" Where does that bill "nationalize" elections?!?"
The bill creates a slew of new dictates that all states are required to follow. A national initiative that the federal government coerces the states to act as its proxies.
If you want to quibble about the word "nationalize", fine.

I just want to point out that jeff just says ----

---- that is a lie

Specifically, the bill expands voter registration (e.g., automatic and same-day registration) and voting access (e.g., vote-by-mail and early voting). It also limits removing voters from voter rolls.
The bill requires states to establish independent redistricting commissions to carry out congressional redistricting.
Additionally, the bill sets forth provisions related to election security, including sharing intelligence information with state election officials, supporting states in securing their election systems, developing a national strategy to protect U.S. democratic institutions, establishing in the legislative branch the National Commission to Protect United States Democratic Institutions, and other provisions to improve the cybersecurity of election systems.
Further, the bill addresses campaign finance, including by expanding the prohibition on campaign spending by foreign nationals, requiring additional disclosure of campaign-related fundraising and spending, requiring additional disclaimers regarding certain political advertising, and establishing an alternative campaign funding system for certain federal offices.
The bill addresses ethics in all three branches of government, including by requiring a code of conduct for Supreme Court Justices, prohibiting Members of the House from serving on the board of a for-profit entity, and establishing additional conflict-of-interest and ethics provisions for federal employees and the White House.
The bill requires the President, the Vice President, and certain candidates for those offices to disclose 10 years of tax returns.

Where are all of these dictates?

Sounds like what most Americans want
