The Biden administration announced expansive new protections on Friday for gay and transgender medical patients, prohibiting federally funded health providers and insurers from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.

So glad I don't live in a theocracy. Desperate to ensure it doesn't happen.

Politics isn't about getting everything you want or walking away. It's sadly often about minimizing damage and taking incremental wins with a large coalition of people that have different priorities.

Real shit being a circle jerk about how Biden sucks without engaging with any relevant facts on the matter. Got it.

Pro-medicare for all. Pro-college for all. Want to eliminate the electoral college and the Senate. Somehow a centrist.

I'm concerned with reaching past them to readers that see the thread. Hard disagree. Since the 2010s, Democrats have done a lot to show their support. Maybe it isn't enough for you, but it isn't nothing. That's just factually untrue.

So no matter what I post, no matter how many hundreds of ways his administration separates itself, you will find a way to dismiss it. At this point, I'll stop responding to you. I just ask anyone else that thinks there isn't a clear choice in November to please look at the list.

I gave a list I'd argue shows he has done a lot to fight for LGBTQIA people. That doesn't mean he owns every bad thing that happened while he was in office.

What L though? Someone tried to act like Biden hasn't done a lot for LGBTQIA, I disagreed and cited a list. Just because that upsets people I should be quiet? Frankly, I'm not concerned with the opinion of people that find that offensive.

I posted info. Happy to be corrected if any of it is incorrect. Also open to new info. That's not what happened here. It immediately turned to attacks, claims of bigotry.

If any person is spreading talking points to dismiss the very well documented contrast between Biden and Trump, they should be called out. No one has a monopoly on truth. Something is either true or it isn't, regardless of who is saying it.

You literally can't speak over ppl in a comment thread. You mean I dared to disagree. You also don't know what I am. I didn't answer because it isn't relevant to the facts.

You didn't ask consent before posting any of your comments. Do you just look for any way to paint someone as a bigot or rapist when you don't like what they're saying? That's fucked up.

It's why I started to include bite sized screenshots that make it easier to see what has been done if a person hasn't read it. Why did you dismiss it as useless and ineffective if you haven't even had time to read it. Couldn't you have opened with that?

I don't like Caitlyn Jenner either. That doesn't negate the good work his administration has done. And it doesn't undo the harm done by the Trump administration. I'm attempting to point out the contrast while dealing with open harassment for doing so.

You didn't actually read it. Many executive orders signed. Defense of marriage act was a law.

Do you sit back and think about the kind of things you say to people? What could I have possibly done to justify you saying I'd "never do anything with my life?" You don't know me. All I did was dare to argue that Biden has been pro-LGBTQIA. What is wrong with you?

Is it transphobic to disagree with you about how effective Biden has been for LGBTQIA people? That's ridiculous, and you should really be more serious about how you throw that label around.

I'm not gish galloping. I linked a list that is very long and then commented under my own link with specific screenshots, because I understand a lot of people likely won't bother to look at the list without hurling insults.

I'm here to point out that Biden has done a lot of good work for LGBTQIA people. I have just as much right to do that as you do to ignore that and be rude for no reason.

Do you just knee jerk respond to any criticism of something you say as though the person was being transphobic? Never once did I reduce trans people to a monolith. I said you don't speak for all trans people. That's the opposite of that, pointing out that you're an individual.
