Conservatism is a vile plague of deception, oppression and death. It always has been.
Teach your children why it is inappropriate to do business with or keep relationships with conservatives. Speak openly about the deadly nature of conservatism. It is a hate-based lifestyle and should be openly treated as such.

Dude this is some wack shit and solves nothing.
They won’t be educated. They encourage violence against them, so they can claim persecution and victimhood, they actively harm women and minority communities. The only thing left is ostracizing and exclusion.
That being said. If you have conservatives around you that are open to constructive discussions, by all means try to change minds. Just be aware that you can only plant seeds that might grow into into knowledge. They have to come to awareness on their own.
the divide is too deep. Algorithmic content and garbage education got us here, kumbaya let’s all be friends ain’t getting us out.
Oh yes. Let’s instead try and change their hearts and minds.
Do you happen to know how to change the mind of someone driven by fear and disgust? I unfortunately don’t.
It solves everything. Teaching children to think critically solves everything. Critical thinking is at odds with a conservative mindset.
The natural evolution of an educated child engaging in critical thinking is away from selfishness, again: wholly at odds with conservatism, a deeply selfish movement.
Not teaching your kids that conservatives are lying about wanting to keep them safe, when they actually want to control many aspects of their lives is tantamount to knowing the forest next to your home you play in is filled with rabid animals and not telling them about it. It’s bad parenting at best.
My kids gonna make her own choices. She might choose something I disagree with but it won’t be because I didn’t teach her about right and wrong, and what goes in to determining that.
The new rules do not discuss the issue of transgender student-athletes and which teams they can play on.
Won’t someone think of the athletes?!
I fucking hate this shit. Puh-lease. Like suddenly you care about women when it comes to women’s sports fuck off with that shit, I don’t give a fuck if someone who used to have balls won the women’s soccer division give me my rights back you lying piece of shit ass sucker

While I completely agree with your sentiment, I would imagine that some of the women in your scenario might find it extremely unfair to be competing with someone who has an innate physical advantage over them.
That’s the problem with this culture war stuff, what should be reasoned debate becomes polarised shouting matches and people calling each other nazis.
What innate physical advantage? Transwoman on T blockers often have lower T than cis women.
You know the IOC, who have pretty solid reason to know what they’re on about, just released a study on this, and it suggests that trans women have a disadvantage as compared to cis women? Because that fits the actual results, where we haven’t seen trans women winning 0.5% of competitions in line with their prevalence, nor more, but less? In any distribution there will always be outliers, but even the ones the people causing a culture war (who, incidentally, did focus groups to find the most effective way to make trans people a wedge issue) have found to trumpet from the skies as a “threat to women’s sports” because of trans women’s “innate advantages” lose all the time. They have one good day and they’re dominating.
What was really fuckin wild to me was multiple mutant Michael Phelps coming out and parroting this opinion. Motherfucker, you have a reduced lactic acid mutation and longer arms than is the norm for your height. Should you be stripped of all of your medals, for your innate advantages? Because he’s way more unfair than any trans woman anyone has yet found to present to his competition, but that’s fine because… Why?
Except it is never women athletes complaining. It is these stupid politicians using that argument like it isn’t absolutely laughable. They only care about women when they can use them for their own talking points.
I do take deep offense to referring to the loss of rights as culture war stuff. Fuck, maybe it is to them? If one side of the argument boils down to rights to your own body and the other side boils down to how it might make other people feel and how it can be unfair then there are much bigger issues with one of the sides.
One costs lives and the other is a fucking made up possible consequence. And sports really is the only “logical reason” they can cling to that isn’t absolutely clearly bigoted af.
It wasn’t all that long ago when conservatives hated women’s sports precisely because they conflated women athletes with lesbians.
What a bunch of ghouls
if we have a right to discriminate against queer people surely i have the right to discriminate against government/state institutions right?
Surely now i can no longer follow the law and as long as i say “nuh uh” to them, i should be left alone, right?
Alright, I’m gonna need the state to secede so the US military comes in and rolls the fuck over our stupid-ass state government so we might actually see some relative sanity restored to office in my lifetime.
