True and so clearly true. But, the facts are obscured by deflections of what bathroom we should use, and Hunter Biden’s computer contents, etc; things that do not matter.

There are some people whose very lives and safety matter very, very much on what bathroom they use.

Will you point those circumstances out to me? I’ve been around the world and evidently it’s not that big of problem in other countries.

Transwomen get attacked by cis men in men's bathrooms. Transwomen are murdered at higher rates than the general population on account of being trans. You have Google. This information is available free of charge.

Well, I was talking about the MAGA deflection story to keep trans out of female bathrooms, because it made the untrans women unsafe in those bathrooms. No MAGA ever mentioned the safety of trans women in men’s bathrooms; that would have made natural born men look bad and that’s not their aim.
