"They’re trying to turn it into something scary, something sinister. But folks, it’s not really about anything that’s all that complicated."

"At its core, it’s about giving every American an opportunity to be treated with the basic decency, dignity and respect they all deserve."

Said ex-President Joe Biden, about transgender rights, quoted in "Biden Slams Republicans for Using L.G.B.T.Q. Identity as ‘Political Football’/The former president defended his support for transgender rights, a stance that has provoked second-guessing among some Democrats" (NYT).

So it's all very simple and anyone who says otherwise is sinister, and to boil it down to that isn't politicizing anything. It's the other side that's doing the politicizing, those bad people over there. 

I remember when Democrats liked to portray themselves as sophisticated, seeing all the complexity and nuance. Now, they're pushing the idea it's all quite simple. It's black and white. So... binary.

The top-rated comment over there is interesting. Jose writes: "As a gay man, I have almost nothing in common with transgender people beyond both being minorities. I wish them well: adults should be free to live in the body that feels right to them, and no one should face discrimination or violence. Yet many gay men and lesbians strongly object to being told we are part of the same 'community' or that same-sex attraction is just another form of 'gender identity.' That merger was never put to a vote among ordinary gay people; it was decreed from above by activists, academics, and NGOs pursuing their own ideological project. The result is now harming us. Debates over youth medical transition, sports, and women’s spaces are intensely polarizing, and the public increasingly lumps all of it together under one rainbow flag. Support that was once broad and secure for gay and lesbian equality is starting to soften because people are told—wrongly—that accepting homosexuality means signing on to an entirely different belief system about sex and gender. Same-sex attraction is not the same thing as gender dysphoria. We can respect trans people’s choices and still insist on that distinction. Peaceful coexistence does not require pretending we are one single community."

The author of the article pushes back gently — gay people and trans people share "gender nonconformity" — and Jose responds:

"As a gay man, my same-sex attraction doesn’t undermine my masculinity—it enhances it. Surveys of hundreds of gay men show most strongly identify with masculine traits. The notion that being gay inherently 'subverts' my gender is faculty-lounge queer theory, not our lived reality. I recommend reading a new book 'Inversion: Gay Life After the Homosexual.' Also public support for gay rights is quietly slipping: Gallup’s May 2025 poll puts same-sex marriage approval at 68 %—down from 71 % in 2023 and the first decline in over a decade. Many of us worry this softening attitudes toward trans issues are dragging the rest of LGB acceptance down with them."

The Democrat's movement to turn kids into eunuchs is going to get its own paragraph in history books.

I like that they use Joe Biden as the face of this movement.

He sure liked to touch kids. A lot...

Shouting Thomas ने कहा…

I’m tired of people trying to lure me into an argument over a fantasized condition. I’m sorry I even responded to this degree.

Ambrose ने कहा…

I see radical leftists are still writing the words for Biden to mouth. No one can seriously believe this is his initiative.

RCOCEAN II ने कहा…

I thought autopen Joe was dying of cancer. Guess not. Still strong enough to pop off on issues of the day.

And of course the NYT's can never discuss an issue straight, everything must be manipulated and dressed up in leftwing propaganda. On one side, those who care about people, on the other side, cynical Republicans who pounce. And use things as "Political footballs".

Amadeus 48 ने कहा…

"No one can seriously believe this is his initiative."
You have a higher opinion of Biden than I do. He has always been empty, stupid, and vicious.

Disparity of Cult ने कहा…

Biden further explained "They cut off, you know, the thing".

Peachy ने कहा…

The left are predators and they need the beard dudes in dresses in women's' spaces/ Trans crap - because their entire BS loser Cult is addicted to outrage porn.

BTW - FFF Joe Biden. His open border allowed child sex abuse and child sex traffickers to operate with impunity.

Aggie ने कहा…

Psychological manipulation of suggestible children and teens to exploit standard feelings of social anxiety, awkwardness, medical experimentation to render children sterile, and condemn them to a lifetime of medical dependency. Children ! They'll rate much more than a paragraph in the history books.

Paul Zrimsek ने कहा…

Ah yes, the Unilateral Culture War. It's getting almost as old as Joe.

Original Mike ने कहा…

"I see radical leftists are still writing the words for Biden to mouth."

Speaking of which: Joe Biden cannot pronounce the "United States of America"

If we could just get back to "Your rights end where mine begin", we would have a lot less to fight about.
I accept your right to pretend your born sex is illegitimate for you, but I deserve at least equal respect for my right to ignore, disagree, or fear your denial of biological facts.
If I believed I was born a vampire, should I be able to force people to agree and not fear what that means to them. Imagine the violation of rights if we had to legally recognize and accommodate people who think they are vampires. Do they have the right to feed on my blood, change business hours to the middle of night, and have all crucifixes removed from view? We are doing some of that with Muslims already.

gilbar ने कहा…

it's REALLY QUITE SIMPLE
if we can JUST castrate ALL the little boys and girls in the world..
Then ALL OUR PROBLEMS WILL BE OVER!
There is not a single problem on earth, that won't be solved be UNIVERSAL CASTRATION.

Even IF we can't get to Universal Castration yet;
IF we can just convince WHITE PEOPLE to castrate Their children,
MOST of our problems will be eased

CASTRATE THOSE KIDS! cut off their sex organs, ans sterilize them!
It's for the good of the world!

It IS scary Joe, and it most definately IS sinister.

Eric the Fruit Bat ने कहा…

I had to look up "gender nonconformity." That's a mighty broad term they've got going there. Best as I can figure out a man wanting to have sex with a man is gender nonconforming so I'm not so sure Jose wins that one.

I also learned there are men who who crave anal penetration from a woman and it's called "pegging." Maybe that's in the gray area.

Paul Zrimsek ने कहा…

Wanting to have sex with another man is A-OK. It's the enthusiasm for musicals that's gender-nonconforming.

If a Furry-fucker wants to kill Charlie Kirk - the left demand you not only celebrate murder - you also must deny that it has anything to do with the rot that is Joe Biden and his vile party.

Maynard ने कहा…

Joe is only spouting lines that his writers tell him to say. It is very much like some of our Althouse lefties who like to post thoughts they are given on Bluesky, CNN, MSNOW, etc.

Maynard ने कहा…

"As a gay man, I have almost nothing in common with transgender people beyond both being minorities.

Aren't we all minorities?

As a straight White male, I comprise about 25% of the population or so (just a guess). Doesn't that make me a minority?

Peachy ने कहा…

Note to the gay community - where I have friends who I love.
One of several reasons for the new decline in homosexual acceptance - is the fact that many in the gay community - (or some) push the rainbow flag into every area of our lives. It's too much. We accept you - but please back off.
Imagine if the heterosexual community had a flag and we shoved it down your throats non stop?
I know that sound silly - but there you have it.
It's a basic "Sick of the non-stop rainbow lecture" - reaction.

rhhardin ने कहा…

You get dignity only by doing something for somebody else. It's not something society withholds or can give to you.

What works individually works by group as well. Let blacks take up a collection for poor whites and they'll find that dignity suddenly appears.

hombre ने कहा…

The unification of LGBT results solely from a decree by Democrat/Leftist ruling elites for political gain. Like most Democrat policies it is destructive and subversive. If the country lets them back in, we deserve them.

Rick67 ने कहा…

Biden: "At its core, it’s about giving every American an opportunity to be treated with the basic decency, dignity and respect they all deserve."

That's motte and bailey rhetoric. "We just want people to be treated with dignity". Gosh that sounds perfectly simple and reasonable. Except what they *mean* by that is something vastly more difficult to defend.

William ने कहा…

We live in an era of incomprehensible sexual activities. I'm as polymorphous perverse as the next guy, but I have never once fantasized about improving my sex life by dressing up as a furry mascot or by cutting off my penis. I just don't understand any of this. I'm grateful we have someone like Joe Biden around to clarify matters.

Skeptical Voter ने कहा…

Well God will eventually call Joe Biden home---or maybe not. In any case the nation only has a dozen or more years to put up with the maunderings of this deluded refugee from a care home.

Peachy ने कहा…

Jose makes excellent points.

mindnumbrobot ने कहा…

Oof. You just know anytime Biden speaks Democrats are screaming "please go away!" Biden's presidency is one of the greatest political scandals in the history of the United States, but the legacy media dare not mention it because of their complicity.

Jose reaffirms Dave Chappell's commentary about the G's and L's not liking the T's, B's, Q's, etc. of their alphabet soup group label. He was savaged for it, but everybody outside that circle of activists nuts knew he was on point.

It was inevitable that the cascade of newly created victim groups would keep tumbling downward to reach its bottom. We are almost there.

“Jose” is right to worry. It’s one thing to accept gay marriage. It’s quite another to accept gay martiage and therefore also accept the “right” of biological males to enter women’s rest rooms and locker rooms and leer at the women and girls undressing (not to mention the “right” of biological females to invade boys’ locker rooms with a video camera).

"Oof. You just know anytime Biden speaks Democrats are screaming "please go away!"

If you watch the speech you'll see that all he gets is wild applause and cheering. I will wager that excerpts will be shared and broadcast throughout the Democrat Party media libtard milieu to the same applause and celebration. The (D)espicable Party is already long past pretending they didn't know that Creepy Joe was a senile piece of shit, and they are back to lauding him as the Great Man who would have beat Trump TWICE. For example, Democrat Party cocksucker George Clooney is back in America bragging about his wife's ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and recanting his torpedoing of Biden in the 2024 Presidential election campaign. Watch for new Dark Brandon memes coming soon.

Most sims are transitioning through puberty and either confused or dissatisfied with Her choices, or homosexuals embracing their bigendered identity. A minority are terminally dysfunctional and will entertain abortive ideation of selfie or others to relieve or transfer their "burden".

It's too much. We accept you - but please back off.

I remember at least 20 years ago seeing a comment:

"What used to be 'The love that dare not speak its name' is now 'The love that won't shut up.'" It's only gotten worse.

n.n ने कहा…

Homosexuals are transphobic. Biden is homophobic, and transsocial, as are all politically congruent ("='). Most, if not all, are also Pro-Choice religious faithful. Most sims are homosexuals with a bigendered identity. A minority have a heterosexual fetish that some believe can be satisfied through physical abd hormonal corruption to simulate the opposite gender. Diversity (i.e. bloc theory) , Equity, and Inclusion is a double-edged scalpel.

Beasts of England ने कहा…

I never understood the addition of ‘T’ to the acronym or the team, especially as the range of ‘T’ proclivities were becoming obvious. I agree with Jose - vote them off the island.

Dave Chappelle talked about this. The “T”s are a problem for the Gs and Ls and even the Bs.

Krumhorn ने कहा…

I imagine that lesbians do not appreciate being hectored for their unwillingness to date trannies who show up to the door with their twigs and berries intact. Presumably, gays don't want to hear about their aversion to dating butch tranny school shooters.

“ youth medical transition, sports, and women’s spaces ”

Jose has it right, adults can have all the cosmetic surgery they can afford, but stay away from kids and don’t go in the ladies room unless you have your balls cut off.

Rosalyn C. ने कहा…

A lot of lesbians have a problem with transwomen demanding to be accepted as lesbians. A woman who is attracted sexually to other women does not have an obligation to consider dating men who call themselves women. It’s obnoxious. But people don’t talk about it because of the pressure to be part of the LGBTQ community.

@Mr. T, instead of “Assumption School Massacre” did you mean the massacre (or “shooting,” per Wikipedia) at the Annunciation Catholic School?

Joe Bar ने कहा…

The backlash from the gay and lesbian community was seen, but ignored by those better than us.

paminwi ने कहा…

Gays/lesbians need to stop bitching. They had years and years to take a stand against the transgender nutcases including them in their group. They were united when they wanted marriage and yet no one organized enough to say “those people are not us” or have protests burning that disgusting flag that supports trans/pedos.

JIM ने कहा…

This is a gambit by Democrats to move on from the Epstein scandal. Of course, we must assume Biden said the right words programmed into the teleprompter.
Democrat deflection cycle - racism, gay rights, ICE

Rosalyn C. ने कहा…

There is something astonishingly outrageous about Biden claiming that the Republicans turned the trans issue into a political issue. IIRC, before Obama the 'T' was rather inconsequential -- accepted as an odd part of the family but never demanding a lot of attention. What happened to turn the 'T' into the major source of divisiveness now? I do not know. I am sure there is a story there, with lots and lots of institutional money involved -- the Open Society, etc. Was there an intention by some groups to use gender to destabalize our society? But we saw how Obama and then Biden deliberately hired transgenders in visible positions, opened the military to paying for transgender surgeries, supported men in women's sports and demanded entry into women's private spaces, the educational indoctrination about pronouns, drag queen story hour, etc., expectation that political appointees refuse to define what a woman is, etc. This issue has gone far beyond the simple demand that transgenders be guaranteed equal rights in jobs and housing, which every citizen deserves.
There has been more pushback by the LGB in the UK and separation from the T. One difference is that the T lobby in the UK hasn't received anywhere near the financial support and political influence they have in the US.

Wait until Jose gets tossed in with the pedophiles (the “+” in LGBTQ+. He’ll head straight to the closet.

This is cut and dry: the VAST majority of women are threatened by a penis in their locker room regardless of whom it's attached to. Compassion and common decency go both ways.
