And continuing to infantalize her does what?

Honestly, Anna’s brother needs to stay out of it beyond telling her his opinion and offering her his support with whatever decision she makes. The same goes for their family and friends. Anna needs to decide for herself what she wants to do.
He doesn’t even seem vaguely interested in foreign policy. I read a description of him taking one of those trips to Israel required to make people seem “credible,” and he had ZERO idea of what the whole Israel thing was. He was asking extremely basic questions of a person at the airport about how it formed, why there…
He’s an asshole. Republicans love assholes. They want someone to put the liberals and minorities in their place. They want to kick ass and take names. If an asshole can do that using words with a minimum of syllables, he goes straight to the top of the polls. Think of the people they’ve supported in recent years:
How is a detailed policy on how to treat transgender people just “pretty words”? What “action” would satisfy you? Does the President have to personally invite trsnsgender detainees to stay at the White House?? Did you even read the guidance?
You’re ranting about how the President hasn’t done anything when you aren’t even informed about what he has done. When you find out he has addressed the situation, you move the goalpost. You can’t be bothered to learn what is going on, yet feel entitled to tell the man he’s not doing his job. I’m sure Barack Obama…
The committee says they’ve been meeting and researching, including interviewing transgender people, appropriate action for 6 months. This policy was not developed overnight.
He could tell her to STFU and GTFO because he had already assigned a task force months before to address the very issue she was being so rude about.
Considering she was an invited guest at a White House event, I doubt Obama was ignorant or unsympathetic to the issues she was concerned about.
His support for child predators Josh Duggar and Ted Nugent should be enough to let you know he is the incarnation of evil.
Woah!! Congrats!! Your commenting fame is bursting out of Jezebel’s seams!
Are these “participation” trophies though? “Best of the Batch” and “Student-Athlete” sound like legit accolades. Is he really telling his kids that being honored for being smart (which is what “Student -Athlete” usually means, right?) is nothing?
Finally, she’s gone! The flounce is complete.
I haven’t advocated denying surgery for anyone other than prisoners. People who aren’t in prison can and will do what they want.
Also you started a comment thread - why are you surprised people are responding to your ill-informed beliefs?
Nope, I just have a problem with someone who is uniformed about an issue making themselves into the inquisitor.
It seems very important to you to make me into a bad guy. Asking questions is not dismissive.
Where have I dismissed the experience of trans individuals?
I could also be right. Or a better answer might be something that hasn’t been yet fathomed. Shouldn’t we continue to ask these questions because issues of sexual and gender identity are complicated by social mores, biology, and mental health? I’m not mad at people doing what they and their doctors think best in the…
