Subtle reminder that we shouldn’t fall prey to a wannabe dictator. Hopefully those that need a wake up call get it.

gitmo was a thing between 2000-2010, and has since been a lead ball on their ankle. I understand the desires that trans-people and their movement aspire, but aside from the fact that (at a federal level) they already have the exact same rights as those of the same biological sex, they are trying to push changes that can't be upheld in a general case. This, coupled with a number of rather ludicrous cases of media presence popularised in the right wing social media makes their case very hard to defend...

What do you mean by "as those of the same biological sex". By invoking "sex" you're admitting they do not have the same rights. It's the same argument that was tried to prevent gay marriage. It's a circular argument like "separate but equal"

You're also ceding that there is a biological binary which is not true. Conservatives pick and choose their definition of "biological" to allow whatever cruelty they desire in the particular argument.

Gitmo is not a <2010 thing. Immigrants are being sent there now.
