The "transgender bathroom rights" issue coming up just before Trump's election may have pushed Trump votes over the top. This might put DeSantis into the White House.



Indeed, it's a pendulum effect. There is a radical right and there is a radical left. I'm centrist, I do not identify with either side, I have nothing against abortion or gay marriage or calling people they/him/her/it or how they want but I have something against small group of people imposing on the whole society how we can use word women in context of pregnancy, especially in a world in which only biological woman can give birth to a child.

This. There’s a difference between asking for respect (I’ll use the name you want) versus fighting to call breastfeeding chest feeding.

Seriously, the world has bigger problems than to debate over language.

If the general public cared half as much about world hunger (or child hunger!) as it did about debating the definition about the word “women” the world would be a better place.
