Biden's State of the Union address and his disregard for women's rights

Joe Biden has doubled down on the 'rights' of anyone, and everyone who wishes to do so, to encroach on the safety, dignity and fairness of women.

Only recently hard won opportunities, places and spaces for women will now be open to males who simply wish to access or take them. Thus depriving a woman of her right to something which was created for her in order to address inequalities and challenges specific to women.

And for our LGBTQ+ Americans, let’s finally get the bipartisan Equality Act to my desk. The onslaught of state laws targeting transgender Americans and their families is wrong.

As I said last year, especially to our younger transgender Americans, I will always have your back as your President, so you can be yourself and reach your God-given potential.

Is it a male's god given potential to destroy women's sports, and force them to have to undress in their presence (as the Penn women's swimming team reportedly are coerced to do, in fear of censure or removal from the team). Whose potential is being enhanced in medication and surgical removal of body parts in healthy young people?

The phrase 'open your mouth and remove all doubt' springs to mind. Kamala apparently busy clapping him on. Just wondering out loud if some backer is demanding their misogynistic wishes be implemented before they'll open their purses for the next election. Is that democracy in action?

Slightly off topic, but isn't the US supposed to be secular now? How do the atheists in the country feel about their president still using phrasing like "God given potential"?

When are the midterm elections?

I'm so angry at this. Lies aimed by the USA"s elderly president specifically at naive young people whose 'potential' - to have their own children, to have a full sex life, to have lifelong physical health, is what this lucrative medicalisation and surgery will actually be stripping away.

@IvyTwines

Removing their 'God-given potential' to ever become parents themselves isn't something that seems to worry him.
Well said! He'll be long gone when the lawsuits are clogging up the courts of the USA

I saw this earlier. I don’t think he has given a seconds thought to what he’s actually doing and the wider impacts - he definitely doesn’t give a shit about women.

The comments get it.

If God gave them all that potential, why did God also give them 'wrong bodies' that require all that very lucrative surgery to 'fix'? A very peculiar God, that American God.
