Who’s going to tell the rubes that there are people with three sex chromosomes (XXY as an example)? Is that person a male or female?

inconvenient facts

Every single person on earth is different than you, or me. And most of them are not mentally ill

But the ones with gender dysphoria are

No more mentally ill than the fucks who molest little boys by using God and Jesus as their crutch.
Meanwhile, you really don't hear much outrage about it from the "Christian Right". Go figure.

That has nothing to do with this. But yes you are absolutely right. Super fucked up. I am not religious

I wasn't. That's gotta be an extremely rare thing, right?

Probably more common than actual instances of biological males beating (as females) biological females in youth sports.

The whole thing is just such a deeply cynical line of attack by the pubs.

They DO NOT actually care about kids' well-being; if they did, they'd support common-sense legislation that reduced the number of needlessly-dangerous weapons in this country.

They also DO NOT actually care about the dangers of kids being indoctrinated; if they did, they wouldn't support nonsense like the Ten Commandments being posted in classrooms.

All of this - every last drop - is that the pubs have figured out that this issue animates rubes to smash the "CLICK HERE TO DONATE $17.76 TO SAVE AMERICA" button.

Yeah, the Republican obsession with that part is super predictable and obnoxious

Cody Browning, Sales Associate - “Like a lot of MAGA conservatives, I’m torn between voting for him and shrieking at him for planning 9/11.”

Kerry Prescott, Train Conductor - “Sorry, but I won’t vote for a Black guy.”

Rosie Scharf, Assistant - If nothing else, he might be the guy who makes Mike Pence come in eighth instead of seventh.”

Ken Brewer, Plumber - “What has become of my beloved white supremacy?”

Trina Park, Business Owner - “As the former CEO of a drug company, you know he has the public’s best interests at heart.”

Enrique Tarrio, Former Proud Boys Chairman - “Its nice to see other brown people rise to the top of traditionally white-dominated organizations.”

* * * If they took readers suggestions I might have offered this one.
randylehey, kansascrimson.com, Rabble Rouser - "Don't know much about him yet but came across this campaign ad. And God damn he hit the nail on the head. I am going to keep posting memes and ignorant social media shit about him to knowingly and purposely annoy people and make me come off as an asshat".

rare form this morning, gutter

Rainbows who do you propose is a better presidential candidate for 2024?

At this moment, I don't like any of the candidates and no one will be getting my vote.
Even if I felt Ramaswamy was the best candidate (I don't) I would not vote for him because simply put, I don't want him to be my nor our country's President.

Not really. Looks to be about 1 in 500 based on the link below. What's "rare" is when there are four or five.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1634840/


"The term Klinefelter syndrome (KS) describes a group of chromosomal disorder in which there is at least one extra X chromosome to a normal male karyotype, 46,XY. XXY aneuploidy is the most common disorder of sex chromosomes in humans, with prevalence of one in 500 males. Other sex chromosomal aneuploidies have also been described, although they are much less frequent, with 48,XXYY and 48,XXXY being present in 1 per 17,000 to 1 per 50,000 male births. The incidence of 49,XXXXY is 1 per 85,000 to 100,000 male births. In addition, 46,XX males also exist and it is caused by translocation of Y material including sex determining region (SRY) to the X chromosome during paternal meiosis. "

I feel pretty confident in guessing that 1 out of every 500 athletes in youth sports is not a transgender athlete competing in a gender category that is different than that which they were categorized on their birth certificate after they were born.

And really, cut the odds in half again, right? I haven’t seen any MAGA kvetching about, say, biological females on testosterone having an unfair advantage over biological males.

(Of course this logically makes no sense; a biological female on hormone therapy may well have greater testosterone levels than a biological male. But of course science and fairness aren’t really the point here, and no MAGA out there is gonna say he’s afraid to lose to a GIRL.)
