Abandoning trans people 'a mistake' for Democrats, says Tim Walz

19. But the issue of trans rights is NOT about "sports" nor "bathrooms" for that matter

It's about the right to identify oneself as one chooses and not have an identification imposed on you due to someone with an agenda.

It's truly sad for anyone to be gullible enough to accept the idiotic deflection of "But sports!!!111!!!!!!" to take away someone's rights.

When I was 8 years old and in 4th grade and wanted to play the flute in the school orchestra (I had already played recorder in earlier grades), I was told by a fucking racist orchestra director that my "lips were too big" but I was welcome to play the violin (which I eventually did).

This was a bigot who decided to "define" who and what I was and then determine what I would or would not be permitted to do based on nonsense. And he had the power to impose AND enforce that decision.

When I transferred to another school, I had that director's son as an orchestra director and he was by no means his father, but the damage was done.
