To be really glad I don't live in America right now

1. So he has not “reinstated border controls” he has merely closed one route for claiming asylum (the legality of which is currently being challenged in court.)

2. So he has not rescinded birthright citizenship (which as you acknowledge is not a decision he has the power to make.)

3. Why is it important to clarify this? How do you enforce this in the private sphere?

4. Yes diversity for diversity sake is nonsense. What does that have to do with DEI?

5. Why specifically do you think it is beneficial to shut down the dept of education and the other government agencies he is closing? What do you expect the benefit to the average american to be?

Well presumably, since the US is a country of immigrants, the 14th Amendment applied to one of your ancestors? Or did your family spring up, bingo, from the very rocks of American soil?

You cannot make asylum claims after illegally crossing the border anymore. That has cut down on the incentive to cross.

He made an executive order on birthright citizenship. It will go to SCOTUS ofc I’m hoping for a positive outcome (14th amendment was for slaves only—otherwise the 1924 Indian Citzenship Act would have been unnecessary)

I think it’s important to clarify bio men can never be considered as women.

I also think diversity for its own sake is not important. Only competence.

And he is paring down several government agencies and hopefully will shut down the Dept of Education.

Pretty much Gaza is the only head scratcher for me

Two state solution is seemingly unacceptable to Israel. Especially after October 7. How would you ever get them to agree to it?

So a belief in a two state solution is “wildly unrealistic” but the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the colonisation of the land by the USA is realistic.

How has he reinstated border control?

How has he rescinded birth citizenship? Do you think an EO is sufficient to repeal the 14th amendment to the US constitution?

Ok he codified two sexes - what benefit does that have?

What do you think Diversity, Equity and Inclusiveness initiatives mean at a federal level and why is their repeal a good thing?

How has he reduced the size and scope of the federal government? Specifically?

This is the problem. People are wildly unrealistic about Israel. America doesn’t even have that much leverage on them.

Don't be silly. I am saying the best thing for everybody is to accept reality and find a new solution. Going round in circles blowing each other up is not long term viable. Unless you think it is?

Nothing like a good old world war to make men feel like men again. Everything can burn so long as Donald gets his ego trip.

He reinstated border control and I had no trust she’d do that. He even went so far as to rescind birthright citizenship, which he’d not even campaigned on.

I’m also pleased that he codified sex as male and female and has slashed DEI efforts federally. I’m also a ‘small government’ person so reducing the size and scope of the federal government is a welcome move.

Honestly, it’s been beyond my expectations. Gaza is perhaps the first misstep to me personally.

I genuinely think he has been reading, or more likely somebody has read to him about history and the European empires history of conquest and he feels left out.

I KNOW! It was insane that they believe that in the first place. Trump wants his own American Empire. Starting with Gaza, apparently.

Countries forcibly settling other countries is the leading cause of war.

I'm quite passionately anti zionist, and left leaning. But I have come to the conclusion that Israel is never going to go anywhere and so possibly the best thing to do is to move the Palestinians, who to be clear I think have a better claim to the land, to somewhere where they will not be perpetual victims of war. There will never be peace until someone moves, and Israel, backed by the US, is never going to is it.

So funny! Yes he promised cheaper groceries but guess what with the tax cuts that Trump has given to the billionaires he has a deficit so that means tariffs, which will mean things will cost more for the average American. Elon’s wealth has increased to 154 billion under Trump. Meta, google and other corporations are benefiting from the huge tax cuts that ordinary Americans will have to fund. I hope that though keeps them warm at night when they can’t pay their bills.

Why should they? So they can have a better quality of life and not be blown up every 18 months, to be very frank. As I say, I'm on their side, I just think it's about time people were honest about the situation, just like Trump is.

Which bits are categorically wrong?

Of course there is such a thing as intersex. It's well known in biology. Often in crustaceans and fish but also in mammals.
This body of biological study?

People who are intersex have genitals, chromosomes or reproductive organs that don't fit into a male/female sex binary. Their genitals might not match their reproductive organs, or they may have traits of both. Being intersex may be evident at birth, childhood, later in adulthood or never. Causes may be trisomy or may be developmental.

What about those with CAIS? XY but develop as females. Are they male or female? Do you propose they be surgically altered to make them align with their chromosomes, and not with their assigned gender at birth?

FYI I have an ancestor who was registered as a girl at birth (1871) but developed as a boy and went on to found a successful business and family.
Are you calling me a liar?
