Stability doesn't mean "peace" it means "things don't get worse." And I think we both know that things could be A LOT worse.

IMO this is the real answer. Geopolitical stability in the region, at the cost of letting Israel do whatever it wants including genociding the Palestinians. It makes me sick, but I have a sinking feeling that if we allowed the entire region become unstable, that would make me sick as well.

"Quagmire" is a word for a reason.

The problem is that "biological man/woman" is a nonsense pseudoscientific term. There's multiple forms of sex determination: chromosomal, hormonal, and phenotypical, for example. And none of them necessarily reflect gender, which is about how the brain develops.

Chromosomal sex is what most people think of when they use terms like "biological man/woman" but the chromosomes themselves aren't nearly as important as the SRY gene which, if present and active, triggers an embryo to develop hormonally and phenotypically male sex characters and male gender. But the SRY gene isn't always where it's supposed to be or working how it's supposed to work, which can cause mismatches between sexual development and gender.

And that's only one known potential cause due somebody to be transgender. There are more that we know of, and probably more that we don't know of.

So yeah, "biological male/female" is a gross oversimplification to the point of being straight up bullshit.

And some that ran unopposed weren't unopposed until they harassed and threatened their opposition into dropping out of the race.

Which almost everyone willing to vote for him would fucking hate if they weren't too dumb to notice.

Kyle Rittenhouse of all people recently called out Trump as being bad for the second amendment, and the folks on the right retaliated by accusing him of being trans

Seriously, there were people analyzing photos of him "proving" that he was born female. And when he retracted his comment, they dropped the whole thing.

It's fucking wild

I'm quite sure you don't understand how it works.

Just setting up plausible deniability against accusations of helping trump.

it's not like logical consistency matters to them.

In fact, fascists see the ability to just say whatever gets them the most power in the moment as a strength. They're not held back by "weaknesses" like truth and facts

All that matters to them is power

What's funny is that i interpreted the changes shown in the meme as making it softer on Israel. First edit removes the reference to the school, second edit changes the number of people killed from a big number "over 100" to a fuzzy amount "scores" that is easier to underestimate.

It's since added that information back in, but in the meme it looks like it's trying to make Israel look as not-bad as possible.

Women's sports are divided out so they can compete equally.

This isn't true at all. Women's leagues were created because men refused to let women play in the leagues that were already created. That's literally all there was to it.

“If nuclear war happens, we won’t be second in line pressing the button,”

Which means you'll be pressing the button first. Which means you're the one starting the nuclear war.

And the worst part is, I think that might actually be what me means.
