One mom said she cried for 10 days after hearing she was being removed from her daughter’s birth certificate.

    It’s maddening to watch all of the progress made around the world getting pushed back for no good reason aside from making a minority of the population uncomfortable—with their beliefs being based on lies and misinformation.

    Edited to reword for clarity.

    It’s 52.2degrees in China, and we are worrying about this shit still

    EDIT TO CLARIFY: I think people should be able to have a family made up of who ever they want. Being in a traditional family does not magically guarantee a safe space

      This, and all the other extreme events happening all over the world, is exactly why these extremists are so succesful.

      Right wing populists provides very simple (but of course blatantly wrong) answers to all the problems in the world: It is the fault of the minorities. It is much easier for people to accept such simple but moronic “solutions” instead of having to deal with the fact that reality is complex and that some problems are very difficult to solve.

      These fascists are only going to get more succesful as things gets even worse. The economy is going to get gradually worse for the common man, the number of climate refugees will keep rising, wars for resources will occur (creating more refugees) and fascists will thrive with their seemingly simple solutions which will only help make matters even worse, since they will do nothing to combat climate change or change the economic system, and their nationalism will only make the risk of wars starting even greater.

      I’m sure you understand this already, but your idea is politically and morally equivalent to what’s happening in the article. Everyone has the right to freedom of religion.

      edit: Strange that people become like this when told that religious people deserve protections as a minority or protected class. I’d hoped to leave new athiest cringe behind at spez’s place but apparently you can’t have everything.

          Not really, Christianity in the US was and continues to be a corporate funded endeavour. That doesn’t make the belief system inherently bad, it’s like most things that have been corrupted by moneyed interests.

          edit: spelling, grammar.

    So what happens when a trans lesbian has a kid with a cis lesbian in the usual way children are made? Does the kid lose their sperm donor as a parent??
