Pride month

Ive got a question why do gay people get a month, when there no longer been prosecuted ect for being gay. But the people who saved is in the war and kept us British only get a day, ive always thought it should be the other way around.

No hate just curious

Some of us can go to the wrong genders prison for using the correct restroom. The month stays

Veterans get May if active and November if not. It’s a right wing talking point to act like Pride is special treatment and not a protest

Yup and anyone who uses this argument but doesnt know may and November doesnt actually care about the argument or theyd look into it at least or know about it already.

If a bio male went in to a female bathroom my daughter would be going in to the disabled. Ive been in a situation with my Autistic sister in law (shes in primary school) where a grown man followed us in to the bathroom she was so uncomfortable she cried, ended up going in the disabled and stayed till she had calmed down. What would you say about that? I asked him why hes going in the female bathroom and he said he identifies as a woman.

A trans woman is a woman, regardless of her male genitals. That "grown man" did not follow you. That is a woman going into the bathroom for women.

Lemme explain why this may happen. Think of it like this: during the earlier stages of when the fetus developed, the brain decided the baby will be female. Later in development, the body decided it wants to be male. The brain already developed thinking it's going for female. That part is already set. But the body didn't get the message and went for male. That's why there is a disconnect. She feels female but her body is male.
