I found this — 450 — Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise Goal #1: Protecting Life, Conscience, and Bodily Integrity. The Secretary should pursue a robust agenda to protect the fundamental right to life, protect con- science rights, and uphold bodily integrity rooted in biological realities, not ideology. From the moment of conception, every human being possesses inherent dignity and worth, and our humanity does not depend on our age, stage of development, race, or abilities. The Secretary must ensure that all HHS programs and activities are rooted in a deep respect for innocent human life from day one until natural death: Abortion and euthanasia are not health care. A robust respect for the sacred rights of conscience, both at HHS and among gov- ernments and institutions funded by it, increases choices for patients and program beneficiaries and furthers pluralism and tolerance. The Secretary must protect Americans’ civil rights by ensuring that HHS programs and activities follow the letter and spirit of religious freedom and conscience-protection laws. Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike. The next Secretary must ensure that HHS programs protect children’s minds and bodies and that HHS programs respect parents’ basic right to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children. https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-14.pdf First, that is not much, if that is all that is of concern. Secondly, I have seen all sorts of anti-Trump slander, including the Steele dossier and the lawfare he is now undergoing, to be cynical of any criticism against him, and indirectly this document. He deserves some of what he is getting, but not all. Thirdly, I bolded one statement of concern. I don't think gender identity is subjective. "Radical actors" is name calling, and there is a lot of that going around. Maybe I am not seeing everything of concern or reading this right, but i would discuss with the author of this document concerning this. -

Good evening well I finally finished reading my textbook. Yeah. But I still have a lot more to go for the class. My endocrinologist always asks me about lactation. And yes I have had some very small amounts of leakage but not on any regular basis. I figure I blocked the discharge Duce when I pierced my nipples with scare tissue. But who knows. I also get asked about mammograms. I e had my first or baseline and this fall I will need to schedule my second. As someone in the midst of studying the Old Testament, I can say that I haven’t found any mention of pending damnation for being transgender or intersex. The closest it comes is a verse that says men should not wear women’s clothing. Now I don’t know each and everyone’s particulars, but I know I meet the medical definition of female gender, and even in Ohio, a State that until recently refused to allow bitch certificates to be changed, I meet the criteria. Therefore I can only conclude I am not a man wearing women’s clothing. But there is a somewhat different scholarly explanation of that law that it should not be taken as literally as the haters want. Mostly men should not pretend to be women to ex ape from their enemies. Or tried to hide from God. willow -

Well, the left wing has been doing that. I read a few things while trying to find out what the problem is and liked what I read. But I am a conservative. Is there something specific in there that is of concern? Does it promise somewhere to erase trans folk? That would be problematic. -

It's a plan to basically completely take over the government by the right wing. -

I'm actually in Asheville tonight. Some of the people in the support group invited me for dinner after the meeting. We're going to get together again tomorrow again. It's been nice, 4 trans women and 1 trans man, together ar a restaurant. -

I found https://www.project2025.org/policy/ I will have to read it. I have not. What is of concern? The link provided earlier goes back to this forum. -

'Nuff said. Yeah I'm not thrilled with Biden either. There are some conservative ideas I'm good with. And I do feel that the current Democratic party is too cozy with the bankers and wealthy. But despite all their talk, when it comes down to it, so are the Republicans. And it's not the Dems calling for our eradication. Unfortunately, I see this election as existential for trans folks. -

Good evening everyone, @Birdie your CNA Is ill informed about breast and proper bra fitting. My wife and I are checking out a campground up in Michigan just a little North of Saginaw, MI. We had a great meal at a local tavern serving delicious perch fillet dinner. We’re going to check out the Saginaw,MI Bay area for summer time activities for when we come back on occasion. We belong to a camping club call Adventure Outdoors and have free camping at their resorts around Michigan and Ohio. Hugs, Mindy🌈🐛🏳️⚧️🦋 -

I agree. Biden has been known to switch positions without notice, whether on abortion, Gaza or gay marriage. Most of what he has done has been via executive order and decision, so it does not carry the force of lasting law and can be easily reversed. I really do not trust him at all. Trump says a lot of things. He switches his position all the time. Most of what he wants to do will require legislation to accomplish, some of which will simply never become law. I do not trust him at all. I'm not sure which is worse for trans people specifically because of this, and the fact that the other issues that surround trans folk which I attempted to isolate this question from, but here I go :) also affect trans people along with everyone else. In either case trans folk need to be prepared. -

I'm certain that there are some, if not many, but you would be hard pressed to find them willing to speak up on this forum. There are many trans folk who are conservative, and believe that Biden's non-trans related policies are terrible. Those include his economic, foreign policy, border security, and environmental policies. I'm a lifelong Democrat, and even I don't like all of Biden's policies. It comes down to who would do the most damage to the most people, and the most damage to America as a going democratic nation which has respect for the rule of law. Carolyn Marie -

Thank you for continuing to share your story, Sally! Willa sounded like a grand friend, I'm sorry for your loss. :( -

Not all conservatives are for Trump. I am far from thrilled he is running. Just wanted to make that clear. -

Anybody willing to present the case for Trump? Any conservatives out there? -

Two words(?): Project 2025 Please provide links to the "political calculus" referred to, I'd be interested to know where this is coming from. It seems odd that anyone would be advocating to vote in a President that has stated that he will try to use the federal government to go after LGBTQ+ people because voting back Biden, that is not doing that, might cause some state legislatures to put forth more discriminatory laws. LGBTQ+ people are not safe in a MAGA future.
