National security decision-making has a longer time horizon. It would be stupid for Canada, Europe, South Korea, etc. to act now based on assuming the US will be a reliable in a decade. We have shown that we are not. Many Americans still don’t appreciate how profound of a change that is.

One of the ways in which you can tell Americans *fundamentally* misunderstand transgender people, is that they keep telling lies about "tax payer funded sex changes." BITCH if it were THAT easy... Likewise, a lot of us never undergo bottom surgery for personal reasons as well. Country so dumb.

A little weird that the pro-AI position is that it could potentially kill all of humanity and the anti-AI position is that it definitely won't. FWIW I think there's a range of plausible outcomes for e.g. rogue AI hacking that are very bad even if you take human extinction off the table.

So when a Dem says they agree with any of this, they are taking a position that is against what trans people ALREADY HAD just 5 years ago. That's why trans people won't accept it. It's not about progress, it's about preventing a managed decline in civil rights agreed to by Democrats.

So when libs say, you need to do incremental progress like gay marriage, it completely ignores the rollbacks that have happened in 5 years. It is every aspect of trans life from where we use the bathroom, how we are addressed, what our IDs say, to even censorship on discussions about our existence.

One of the more insidious phrasings I've seen with the Dems/trans rights discourse lately is the idea that trans people are being greedy and demanding a "maximalist" approach to trans rights. No, you cannot call the state of rights American trans people had as recently as 2023 "maximalist," sorry.
