Topic	Kentucky Bill Would Let Students Sue Over Transgender people in Restrooms
OpenlyGator 12/14/19 6:36:58 AM #42:	PleaseClap posted... I feel like its inaccurate to claim that somebody supports trans rights if theyre also scared to be around trans people and believe all of them are predators. Well that's a point to be made, but some people will swear up and down that they're in support of something while having contradicting beliefs at home. It's not uncommon. I'm not saying women should be afraid of sharing private areas with trans people. I don't believe it's worth being an issue. I'm saying, whether it seems logical or not, a lot of cisgender women are afraid even if they won't always openly admit it. Many of whom are paranoid mothers. And they will hold onto those stigmas while voting pro-trans to avoid being called a bigot and in some cases to ironically assuage guilt. People don't always approach politics as black and white. Many people have a very grey perspective when it comes to policies. Meaning some people will convince themselves they're "pro-trans enough" to permit a couple ironically discriminating exceptions. Hence someone being in support of 95% of pro-trans policies...but very against that 5% they do not approve of. It was a similar phenomena following the debate over gay marriage rights in the US. Lots and lots of 95% straight "supporters" who were claiming to be in favor of gay rights, until marriage was brought into the picture. Some of them, despite years of "keeping a truce" around gays had to figuratively be dragged kicking and screaming when it came time to give up that 5%. Some people react similarly to trans rights issues when their claim of support is finally called into question. And sorry, there's a lot of people, men and women, who still fit that bill... --- The funny thing about telling others to take the high road is how often it's hypocritical advice. http://tryimg.com/8/2017/06/28/IdSqD.png <cite>OpenlyGator posted [p:931567472] in Kentucky B...
