Trump: TG People Need Protection, But Will Leave It to States

The Donald does not seem to have any real principles, and so he changes his position to gain whatever temporary advantage he can. Since he almost never answers a question with a direct and honest answer, he can (and does) claim to have never said it, or that he was misunderstood. Sadly, the media adores him, and rarely holds his feet to the fire. So with this issue, one never knows what, if anything, he really believes.

Trump is a lair, plain and simple. I just don't understand how people were pulled in so easily, when he says almost nothing.

Without getting too deeply in on this, as I am not there, I would say that the fact that someone here could refer things beyond local government does give a measure of protection. Things can be taken nationally and tend to be fairly treated by our justice system. Even the government can be judged against. We also have strong influences from outside the country but that does have bad as well as good points.

I'd love to know how TG rights are not a civil rights issue. That statement in the article makes absolutely no sense to me.

Consider that the choice was between him or Ted Cruz, I think it should tell something about the state of the republican Party.

The worse thing is that he seems to be gaining in the polls. Yikes!

Once again I am not sure how to feel about this. He appears to be taking an Constitutional approach to the subject per the 10th Amendment. Being a Libertarian I understand the reasoning here. Though when a states law contridicts the preabmle rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness it is yet another story. My viewpoint is that there restroom laws infringe on those rights. I could be wrong about all of this too since I am not an attorney or expert on Constitutional law. Very mixed feelings on this. As for the Donald, I honestly do not trust him.

Nearly all the civil rights in the Bill of Rights have been incorporated against the states through the 14th amendment. The constitutionality of Federal civil rights protections in public accommodations, education, and employment was settled in the 1960's and 1970's. States' rights do NOT have precedence over individual civil liberties.

Nothing that comes out of that shyster's mouth can be trusted, believed, or made sense of by rational people.

I DO think that a Federal Supreme Court challenge will have to come over these laws. I also think that we will win.

Oddly it could be the commerce clause that helps us here. If i'm driving from state to state my rights are protected during that journey. That clause was used by the Johnson administration to make the civil rights legislation stick nationwide.

Donald Trump is now a true politician. He say's something and nothing at all! Will I vote for him?

No!

Lots of love,

The Interstate Commerce Clause is one I keep waiting for to be a highlighted issue. That was very current news and a big thing in my Law School Con. Law class and I remember it was a heavy weight question on our final exam for the class. (You can figure out how long ago I was in Law School by that statement.) It could be what keeps me out of jail if I go to N.C. any time soon since I am a Calif. resident who was born here. BTW, my "original" birth certificate is no longer a public record!!

The Commerce Clause is the major underlying Constitutional power for Federal civil rights legislation that pertains to public accomodations. It's also pretty well settled what the scope of it is. It's just as applicable to GLBT rights as it was to ending racial segregation. However, the critical analysis twist that has come into play now is pitting our rights against religious freedom. Though I personally think other peoples' religious freedom should not let them control the actions of others, the analysis with respect to private businesses has yet to be fully worked out--Hobby Lobby reasoning (the case over whether employers have to pay for insurance that covers birth control) plays into it.

I don't think for-profit businesses should have religious rights of any sort--that idea should be thrown on the scrap heap, along with Citizens United. The last thing corporations need is more rights. Just as the government shouldn't be allowed to stomp on the rights of individual citizens, neither should corporations be able to.

I dunno, he'll say just about anything to get elected, so do the other people.

What concerns me, more than states rights and all that, is the fact that Trump favors bullying, he is a bully, and encourages this behavior in others. He is actually proud of being a bully, after all look at him, now that's how you get ahead in America, step on anybody that gets in your way, push them out of the way and so what if someone gets hurt, or gets their poor pitiful political correctness stepped on, it's my way or the highway, with Trump PC is out, gender identity politics is way too PC for him, Trump style bullying is in (sorry).

Yes, BTW your biological sex at birth means everything, gender identity really just means nothing(too wishy washy), after all, your biology is your destiny (just like animals). Since we are humans and so smart we will create gender so we can program you with a prescribed lifestyle, equipped with clothes, language, and culture, it's all you'll ever need for every stage of life, it's all predetermined, remember sex is everything and it's even backed up by religion too, what could possibly go wrong ?

Well, I'm encouraged at the prospect of a "Constitutional approach." I voted for Mr. Cruz in the primary elections, on the basis of my conviction that he was more aware of this thing called the U.S. Constitution than Mr. Trump appeared to be. Yes, very encouraging. [if he'd said that prior to Super Tuesday, I would have voted for him in the primary.]

      When I joined it was purely a play on Maybe. Mae happens to have a couple letters in common with my given name and I started using it when introducing myself to strangers. Since then, actually yesterday, when I caught up with an old friend and told her about my transition she thought she heard "Maeve" when I said "Mae". I could still use Mae as a nickname, it works well with my mother's name as a middle name (she died in 2019 and I love the idea of connecting with her memory more), and my initials wouldn't change if I change my name. So, Maeve it will likely be unless something better comes along. ;)

      I've not had a lot of involuntary action in that department and I'm 6mo in. After 3mo. my T was under 30. My doc wanted labs mid-cycle (3-4 days after my shot) oddly, but I am going to insist on getting trough numbers to determine if T is pushing back when serum E is low. I almost felt like I was going to have MW yesterday morning when I woke up (day of my shot), so I get where your thoughts are on the subject. It would be good to know how long that suppression lasts, not that T&E levels are complete indicators--my doctor doesn't seem to have any plans to check for the broader spectrum of metrics I see a lot on forums like SHBG, etc.

      Take two   blood letting is complete it took two of them pesky little mosquitoes.   our dog came to us mostly potty trained. She had a few “I can’t wait” moments but for the most part she was good.  She learned to ask th be let out. We had a bell on the door and taught her to ring the bell.  Then she learned how to open the door herself.  As long as it wasn’t locked out she’d go.  We had her trained to a hidden fence and collar she would go to the limit and sit and wait for us to tell her it was ok. She has always responded to verbal commands or my whistles.   Oh and there are obvious negatives about a dog knowing how to open doors.  She would disappear and we’d suddenly see her out the window.  Or we’ would let her out and suddenly realize she was sitting with us.  She never learned to close the doors, only open then.

      It took me less than 6 months, in how my body quickly responded to hormone therapy, I was once a 40 jeans size, and now I'm comfortably wearing 12 to 14 sizes. Estrogen can speed things up and can slow things down in order to make adjustments. Seeing a treating doctor is very important to monitor the hormone levels to avoid possible side effects later on in life.

      I actually have Yoga as part of my exercise routine at the moment.  Since I'm still in the first month (of three, arbitrarily chosen by me) I've only got it slated for weekends, Sat/Sun.  I am finding out though if I get a little in during my morning wake up that when I get to my cardio in the evening, my joints don't ache as much. Right now the routine is: Weekly - Minimum of 3 days of cardio Weekly - Minimum 1 day of Yoga Monthly - Single endurance jog, preferably on Sunday I want my big thighs and butt to kinda hang around, so I am going to work some cycling into the mix after the third month. So far though, with the help of the Yoga stretches, Down 14lbs in a month. Next week is month 2.  ;_;  Going to put the tredmill on a slight incline to see if I'm ready for it.  If ya don't hear from me, the tredmill ate me. Oh!  I use a product called Yoga Stack 52, so I can Yoga at home.  It's just a deck of cards with the poses, difficulty, areas they stretch, and a nifty QR code you can scan to see a demonstration.

      Overly emotional language always helps civil discourse. Not.

      I often see people on the political Right claiming that all the wealthy elites are funding the "Radical Left".  But what I see seems to be the opposite.  There seems to be no lack of "big money" funding the Right.  The so called "Radical Left" is completely disorganized.  The "liberal media" (controlled by the wealthy) seems to be committed to presenting "both sides" of everything (including trans issues) whereas the Right makes no such pretense.   It should be noted, that in 1930's Germany the wealthy industrialists had no problem supporting the party (that can't be mentioned here). I have seen very few on the Left (out side of a few on the fringe) supporting an authoritarian regime.  Whereas plenty on the Right seem fine with it - down to many local MAGA folks.  Most of the GOP doesn't seem willing to even commit to accepting an election that they don't win.  Both Gore and Clinton accepted their loss despite having actually won the popular vote.  (it's that pesky electoral college thing)   Some on the Right claim to be oppressed by not being allowed to oppress certain minorities.  And Rightwing authoritarianism is now considered "Patriotism."  Go figure.
