"Collusion with Corporate Elites: Instead of nationalizing industries, Ortega has formed a close, mutually beneficial alliance with Nicaraguan business leaders, favoring pro-business policies in exchange for political backing.

Authoritarian Consolidation: His government has severely repressed democratic freedoms, dismantling political opposition, violently cracking down on protestors, and declaring an end to future elections.

Social Conservatism: Ortega's administration has adopted socially conservative stances, including the implementation of a total abortion ban and the suppression of feminist and LGBTQ+ groups."

Corky, conservatives don't want to suppress your rights, you can do anything you want, just don't demand more rights than anyone else.

Right. Good point! For a liar.

So maybe you can tell the class what rights the LGBTQ community are "demanding" that no one else has?

Can you change your gender if you want?
No, you would never allow anyone to do that.

How about a biological male playing on woman's sports teams and using their locker room?

You have the right to cover up your gender or act like the gender you were not born under, or get hormone treatments to be more like the gender you want to be, but you can't escape the gender you were born under.

"You have the right to cover up your gender or act like the gender you were not born under"

They have the right to use the bathroom that matches their act?
I can't imagine you would allow that!

How about it?

Cis people demand that and get it, but Trans people can't.

So, you're proving Donnerboy's point.

Only Cis people are allowed to demand that.

That's not equal. That's more rights for Cis people. Get it?

You can tell bigots don't care 2 ----- about women because they NEVER talk about danger to trans men in men's sports or in men's locker rooms.

Welcome to the 21st Century where we have Google and Analytics, grandpa.

Maybe if you were watching less trans porn, you'd try reading up a bit on the wonders of technology.

It is documented.

And no, this isn't just internet mythology anymore. Analyses using Google Trends and porn search data repeatedly found strong search interest in trans porn concentrated in conservative and MAGA-heavy regions. Texas appears constantly in the conversation. So do parts of the South and Midwest.

According to a 2022 analysis of Google search trends, 15 of the 20 states with the highest search interest in transgender porn voted Republican in the 2020 presidential election.

Meanwhile, MAGA politics has become almost erotically obsessed with trans athletes despite the actual number of trans athletes being statistically microscopic. NCAA president Charlie Baker testified there were fewer than 10 transgender athletes competing among roughly 500,000 NCAA athletes nationwide. Yet entire political campaigns now revolve around them.

Because i read the news.

"To understand the Republicans' love for transgender related porn, we scraped daily Google search trend data from June 1, 2022 to June 19, 2022, segmented by DMA (metro area) and compared search volume to both 2020 election voting trends, and public opinions about LGBT rights.

The data tells a tragic tale of self-loathing closet cases, Republicans who privately get off sexually to trans folks, while publicly trying to remove trans peoples' rights and stoking hate against them.

While the maps and rankings might make it seem obvious that there's a correlation between conservatism and searching for transgender porn, but by plotting linear regression trend lines, we can better understand the strength of the correlation. In these views, we look at search volume for three different keyword groups vs metro area political leaning. Each dot represents a metro area. Dots are colored their ratio of Democratic vs. Republican votes in the 2020 presidential election. The higher the value (more red), the higher the percentage of that metro area voted for Donald Trump."

hitting a little close to home, are we?
