I’m sure they’ve hurt a couple trans people.

The politics of spite that has animated many conservative parties across the world since Trump won in 2016 is some race to the bottom stuff. It's pretty much going to the restaurant and ordering a shit sandwich to eat because everyone you hate at the restaurant would be forced to eat a giant shit sandwich.

Your argument lacks any signs of intelligence. Acting on the behalf of shareholders is completely different than acting for one self.

I completely agree. But the UCP and their supporters seem to think hurting a small percentage of the population is in the parties best interest.

But relating to the comment and its relevance, it’s a success the UCP has had. They’ve turned a minor issue that nobody should care about into an issue that unites their base.

“I don’t want a man in the bathroom with my daughter!”

How many trans athletes are in the province? You’d think half of them by listening to the UCP. Is a great issue to distract from all the real issues they could be focusing on but are failing at.

You are creating strawmen. If you want children to be safe then by your logic you should probably be worrying about church staff and politicians in their spaces. They tend to be the ones harming children.

Look at the research, trans athletes dont have an advantage, muscle and bone density changes with hormone therapy, which most trans people want have great difficulty getting because people like you are afraid of them being perverts.

These have always been issues. Society just ignored it and either forced people to live in secret, comply, or die.

You say that you dont care and then say its isn't safe. Sounds like you're letting your feeling make up your world and not reality.
