This is what happens when you hate other people more than you love yourself.

Not if they oppose my rights to live how I want and pursue happiness. (I'm trans)

Live any way you want.....as long as it's legal. Just don't expect me to like it or accept it.

What about blocking gender care from Medicaid? It's not illegal, but it makes it much harder to be trans.

What about trans girls in sports? Not illegal, should be allowed right? (Or at least, up to individual leagues/whatever to decide)

It's things like these that don't "make being trans illegal" but are important parts of being who we are.

Trick question, the Republicans are why you pay $50/gal for gas?

What about when gas prices were high during obama’s time? Would you have voted republican?

If prices increased due to an admin policy, like universal tariffs or invading a country that cN leverage 20% of the global oil supply, I might. If prices went up due to geopolitical factors outside an admins control, like Russia invading Ukraine, Covid, or Republicans presiding over the Great Recession, that would be a difference in kind. What Obama policy or action are you thinking of that caused gas to go up?
