[tbh2023]

Trump is crazy! I don't even take him seriously. He can say whatever he wants, it's obviously he says too much, but none will listen. He doesn't get to change anything by himself.

 

[EternalShore]

it worries me~ I don't claim to be of a third gender, but the policies from statements like these will still affect people trying to change theirs I bet~ The policies for my state seem fine and permissive (not supportive tho) for adults rn at least (no surgery required), which is good~ :) but I don't want to be trans~ >_< I just want to appear normal! :(((
[for mods: all trans people, including those of non-binary affiliation are valid]

 

[TheHolySword]

gonna kill myself anyway so it's whatever. one less trans girl for the weirdos to worry about

 

[human909]

The trump team is insane, sorry that you have to go through that.

Gonna enjoy my <9 months of peace here in Canada before Poilievre gets elected and starts pulling the exact same shit >:(

I wish I was never tall enough to get on it.

 

[not-2-b-the-answer]

Trump better not let any of his Jesus freaks see him naked.... He will look like both fused together.

 

[G000pie]

Lol... it's just like how it was growing up under conservative christian parents and having to hide my true self my entire childhood up to college, only on a mass scale. Wonderful. All that trauma was for nothing, I survived for nothing, I waited till adulthood to move out for nothing. Death can't come soon enough.

Is it really surprising? He is peddling towards his christo-fascist base as he always does.

Based Trump
Because there ARE objectively only 2 genders.

There will only be one () felon president.

Why would he be on grindr? He's not gay, he's into couches

 

[Mäximum]

Based Trump

Yeah, right... except that you are wrong. Why do you assume that?

 

[senti-mental]

Based Trump

We can have this debate, or we can admit you and him are just distracting from the fact that he promised economic recovery and cheaper living and he can't deliver that so now he's diving into identity politics because he's too chicken to tackle real problems like a big boy

Unfortunately, your statement is antiquated and not supported by modern science. A statement signed by over 2,600 scientists condemns the proposed policy, stating:

This proposal is fundamentally inconsistent not only with science, but also ethical practices, human rights, and basic dignity.

You can read the letter yourself at not-binary.org (https://not-binary.org/statement/).

Please be careful about confusing facts and ideology. You are welcome to your beliefs. However, your belief that there are only 2 genders does not equate to science-based facts.

If the left is allowed to say this then we are allowed to say the Haitian migrants are saying pets in Ohio

Yes, a lighthearted joke about someone with an immense amount of power and wealth- the vice president for fuck's sake- is the same as claiming that individual people who have zero involvement in government, are likely to have little to no power or wealth, and are just trying to live regular lives, are committing vile crimes that target their neighbors. Yeah, exactly the same.

Especially when these claims caused some people to physically harass those individuals. Who, let me just point out again, don't have 1/1000th of the resources that a VP does, nor are they in any way claiming to represent and make decisions for our country.

Edit: Although the idea of a bunch of people just going around saying "Pets! Pets! Pets!" is a much more interesting one

Science was always ideology soaked, Giordano Bruno was one of the victims.

Donald Trump's statement that there are only two genders is a glaring example of ignorance, arrogance, and a refusal to face reality. This simplistic view disregards not only the complexity of human existence but also the scientific evidence that demonstrates how gender is a social, cultural, and psychological construct—not a mere derivative of biological sex. Male, female, and intersex are biological realities, but gender is not defined by genitals or chromosomes. It is the result of experiences, personal histories, and social constructs, capable of producing thousands of valid identities. The idea that only two genders exist is not just a ridiculous oversimplification, but a deliberate attempt to impose a conservative and rigid ideology that completely ignores social and scientific progress.
Neuroscientific, endocrinological, and genetic studies show that gender is a continuum, not a dichotomy, and that the human brain cannot be neatly classified as strictly "male" or "female." Trump, with his outdated worldview, not only ignores these findings but perpetuates a dangerous narrative that fuels discrimination and hatred toward those who do not conform to this binary framework. His rhetoric is inherently violent, an attack on the freedom and rights of millions of people who deserve to live their identities without justification. Trump does not merely represent backward thinking but is also a threat to the recognition of human complexity and diversity. Reducing gender to two options is not only false but morally and intellectually dishonest, proving how disconnected he is from reality and how deeply lacking in empathy he is for the human condition. His words do nothing but legitimize oppression and deny the humanity of those who do not fit into a binary framework built on prejudice and ignorance. Humanity is far more complex than Trump can comprehend, and his refusal to accept this fact highlights his inability to evolve beyond a backward and harmful worldview.
It is no surprise, then, that Trump aligns himself with and supports questionable figures like Giorgia Meloni, Italy's fascist president, who has never hidden her ideological roots. The party currently governing Italy is a direct heir of the Fascist Party: it began as the Italian Social Movement (MSI), evolved into the National Alliance (AN), and eventually became Brothers of Italy (Fratelli d'Italia), all while maintaining the same ideological foundation. Trump's ideas are no different from those of other reactionary leaders like Viktor Orbán, all united by the same desire to drag the world back to an oppressive and authoritarian vision based on discrimination, ignorance, and fear of progress. Their politics are nothing more than fascism dressed in modernity, but they remain just as dangerous.

Science was always ideology soaked, Giordano Bruno was one of the victims.

Considering it's the Catholic Church and its followers that are against LGBTQIA+ I find it funny that you bring up a man who was killed by the Catholic Church (whose execution is still debated by historians whether it was about heretical or scientific views). So in your argument do you support an institution who is partially responsible for ideological science or science that supports a culture that has existed for thousands of years?

Terrified about this! I hate how Trump's insistence on rolling back literal human rights is going to affect us too.

Male, female, and intersex are biological realities, but gender is not defined by genitals or chromosomes.

It's so stupid. Sex =/= gender, but since every transphobe insists that they're the same, What even is the defining factor for someone's sex? Transphobes like to think that it's determined by one's chromosomes/genitals at birth (and these two don't always line up either :/), but it's so obviously just whoever doesn't look cis in their eyes, seeing that they'll target any woman, cis or trans, if they look 'mannish' (and vice versa). It's so infuriatingly stupid. And at the end of the day, it's just an argument you can't win. None of them want to listen; they're just hate-mongering for the fun of it. The amount of transphobes and interphobes that'll chalk up exceptions to their 'normal' as anomalies that are going to hell (and therefore don't matter) is ridiculous.

Absolutely, you're right. For transphobes, sex and gender are like IKEA assembly instructions: too complicated to understand without crying. They claim to rely on biology, but their version of 'science' is so advanced they probably think humans and dinosaurs had a barbecue together. In the end, it's almost endearing: they have so few functioning synapses that they genuinely believe hatred is an original thought. Who knows, maybe if we opened their skulls, we'd just find a sticky note that says, 'Male or female, who knows.'

 

[ihatemen420]

I dont even care when they say stuff like this anymore. When they're done, there will be zero genders, because no one will be left alive to remember them. Their grandchildren will burn with everyone else's in the hell they created. I look forward to it.

 

[deadstillwalking]

I don't mean to offend anyone, and I'm informing you that I'm no student of medicine yet nor am I familiar with any sort of science in depth. This is merely an opinion that comes from my common sense: there is a male and a female. Each one of them has a certain role in the animal kingdom just like in our society. If an individual has a mind of a certain gender but lives in the body of the opposite sex, that isn't a 'gender identity', that's a dysfunction. I do NOT like the term gender identity because from the nature's point of view it makes NO sense. I don't know why it was normalized in the west, know that I don't judge anyone who has a gender crisis. I view you as someone who needs a professional help. Because transitioning will not change anything. You may look like someone who you think your 'gender identity' is but when you grow older you will look just like a regular old man/woman cosplaying. As I said, you people need PROFESSIONAL HELP from psychologists/psychiatrists, not surgeries that aim to achieve impossible results. I don't judge any one of you, I just feel very bad for you... Just to let you know, I don't side with Trump in any way because he's just a puppet of people's common ideas which are mostly dumb and ignorant.

 

[sximii]

I'm not American but I'm so scared as well. I'm so sorry you guys have to go through that, it's awful. I'm gonna say, I maybe can agree with the "2 genders" thing. That's why nonbinary and gender non conforming people are called that. And transgender. But to say those people don't exist is just evil. They already go through enough stigma.

And a quick question, will he forbid hormone therapy for trans people? Because saying that there's 2 genders is one thing, but no fucking way he can actually forbid hormone therapy.

I stand with all Americans that need to be in this. It's awful, and I will pray that this will change
