He's just going to protect the kids and some of you can't handle that they will have protection now.

[Bff-ut]

Well, at least Harris can now change her pronouns to She/Lost

[KozaAST]

As a member of the LGBTQ I voted for trump nothing will happen to us.

Which rights are they talking about? Giving your 13 year old hormone blockers?

[lostoastbread]

Did you guys lose anything when he was the president the first time?

[janiafusilier]

Children are not mature enough to understand these finalizing changes to themselves. What they do as adults is their business. Protect our beautiful children ❤️

[Kamren]

Stop saying LGBTQ.... it's only the T.

[kBwFOXy]

It's not even about the potential laws. It's also about the fact that it's gonna be just fine to be harassed and possibly harmed when we're just out and about. Probably encouraged too.

Some of these comments genuinely disgust me. Forget respecting LGBTQ, you are actively wishing harm against human beings. That is completely foul and shameful.

I'm trans, I'll say it straight up. I do NOT care if you don't respect me, I choose who I can be around and I choose to be around people who can share mutual respect enough to respect my preferences the way I would to anyone else. I am not forcing my first grade-esc liberal pronouns on you nor your children. I am a minor myself. I do not care if you accept who I choose to be, but the fact that I have seen so many comments that cannot even respect transgender individuals as human beings is disappointing.

Stating you encourge, condone, or are in any way remotely happy that another human being is being targetted and harmed over something that quite literally effects noone but their own life, is nauseating, and if you believe harm should be brought upon another human's life for what they identify as, PLEASE rethink your morals.


The sheer lack of compassion for other human beings is what truly has me concerned for America.

edit: (P.S. I do enjoy to debate/converse in a civil and respectful manner. When replying to comments my intention is not to evoke a reaction or start an argument, I simply like to see other peoples opinions and sides on the topic and try to understand where they're coming from and respond with my perspective as well. I'm happy to explain anything I'm knowledged on or anything of the sort, and I'm grateful to be educated on anything you believe I may not be educated on, if u would like to talk in the comments, I don't rebute people's claims out of contempt, but because I believe understanding the other side of the argument is important and I like to see what others are able to refute back against my ideals/opinions! Thank you!)

No no he is just protecting kids the way adults should have been.

[MR-inbl]

Stop worrying. What happened from 2016 to 2020? Nothing at all.

[adrianavetrano]

Nothing will change for them just stay in your lane.

[D_XDC]

Who cares, honestly. What a load of nonsense. Be thankful you weren't alive in the 40s, then you'd really have had something to cry about.

[ilovetech]

Being banned from the military is oppression? Give me a break.

[Eve-gw]

Sad to see what lies ahead for Americans. Open arms here in Europe to receive LGBT Americans and their families

[RacerX]

Does this mean we go back to the old pronouns😂😂

[jackmeehof]

If rights can be taken away then they are not rights. They are privileges.

[romanlegionary]

LGBT for Trump. Media is so stupid. I encourage everyone to deeply do research. You are all going to be ok

[copyglow]

If I am forced to love my partner privately so be it. I have no intention or desire to flaunt my sexuality in public nor force it down the throats of people who may not agree with me. As long as I am allowed to love who I want to love, I’ll be happy enough.

I was about to drop 40 points per game on my girls basketball team but now I got to go back to playing with the boys? Come on, I’ll be riding the bench all year!!
