Trump has peaked

What strange bedfellows we feminists have found ourselves with!

Wow, that was incredibly clear wasn't it? And almost everything we've been wanting, especially the ban on 'heathcare' and the indoctrination in schools. I'm really gobsmacked to see any politician say it as it as, and especially Trump, he's never been so articulate!

the fallout from this is gonna be huge...

This

Yes it's DeSantis. And he has been making sounds about this.

Trump has spotted the zeitgeist. Maybe he was watching what happened to Nicola Sturgeon? Who knows.

He's decided to centre children and the irreversible surgery and raise the issue of pharmaceutical companies making money off them, which everyone knows.

And also aired the prospect of parents suing their arses off. In such a litigious country, that's dynamite.

it's a smart move.

The democrats will have trouble refuting any of it and while they try, the sunlight will be pouring in.

Trump just opened the can of worms that everyone has been trying to keep shut.

This will be interesting, but which ever way it goes, the one thing it will be is illuminating.

And that's all you need.

For those saying he is a transphobe, what exactly has he done/said that is transphobic? Genuine question.

Fuck me I'm glad I'm not American I would have to entertain just for a tiny moment whether I could vote for that sadistic, dangerous,narcissistic, racist, wife abusing little cnut.
Stopped clock and all that I guess.

It's either child sexual mutilation or child sexual abuse to purposely stunt penile growth, remove breasts, and set a child on a pathway to sterility and no capacity for orgasm as an adult.

It can't be defended.

I never thought I'd agree with Trump but blimey.

Someone stated that Trump types may have been what Sturgeon was alluding to (we'll pretend it wasn't just throwing mud and hoping some would stick).

When I saw that Trump had referred to 'child sexual mutilation' I wondered if that was a reference to what Sturgeon types (in many places) appear supporting/promoting. I'm referring to medicalisation (this happens as early as puberty blockers) and surgical interventions on physically healthy youngsters.

We are told endlessly that we're 'transphobes' for not following TRA bollocks. Trump actually is one.

I don’t know, I would guess that he doesn’t give a shit really. Many deeply misogynistic men don’t care, or see the trans movement as the men’s sexual rights movement it is and tacitly approve. Him only speaking out now suggests political opportunism, not any kind of deep convictions or strong feelings. But I guess it doesn’t matter much what motivates him; it’s clearly not concern for women or children.

The stuff about encouraging people to seek legal redress and prosecuting big pharma might be enough to stop the gender cowboys.

Wow, that was incredibly clear wasn't it? And almost everything we've been wanting, especially the ban on 'heathcare' and the indoctrination in schools. I'm really gobsmacked to see any politician say it as it as, and especially Trump, he's never been so articulate!

Can't believe the cowardly left has given this absolute christmas present to the right. Some of the worst people out there get to sound reasonable and sane compared to TWAW.

This.

I'd like to see a democrat defend the mutilation of children.

"Child sexual mutilation"

The phrases he uses need to be said more often in general media.

He's not the greatest spokesperson for feminists (at all) but the language needs to be used more frequently in these debates.

It's all so sanitised it's become celebrated.

What on earth are you on about? I'm a radical feminist.

We are told endlessly that we're 'transphobes' for not following TRA bollocks. Trump actually is one.

I'm sorry but the mutilation of children is an open goal. The left have only themselves to blame and should wake up and start fixing their mess in the States. And that includes men in women's prisons and all the rest of this dangerous ideology.

Trump is a politician. He sees de Santis stealing a march on him and the fact this will resonate with parents - as de Santis proves himself. Trump sees this as an opportunity for himself. Biden threw women under the bus on day one. I'm only surprised it's taken until now for a major, well-known public figure to use their platform on this issue.

This is the part that stood out to me. There will be some fucking terrified people out there right now and I couldn't be happier.

I can't stand Trump but he's right to be standing up against the mutilation of children.

He comes at this issue from the opposite end to GC feminists. He absolutely knows what a woman is and wouldn't accept TWAW, but from a male macho chauvinistic, women are there for my pleasure, perspective.

It's a bit like I'm also in agreement with a lot of truly appalling people that the earth is round and water is wet. These are evidence-based facts, not value judgements.

Trump still has a very loud voice and a lot of influence. But sadly it might further entrench the genderists because ‘if trumps says it it must be wrong’ even if he says the sky is blue.

First line. Going against your gender ideology is not hateful. Way to make yourself look crazy.

Pharmaceutical investigations and the right to sue doctors though. That will have an impact on the profiteering medics. It might mark the beginning of the end if insurance companies will no longer pay for procedures. The highlighting of it is good, as surely the conversation will start to happen now in the states.

With these reasonable ideas we're a side order to the banquest of racism.

That's a great analogy.

And yes, one of the issues is the increasing polarisation of American politics. There's no room in the middle for common sense, inclusive politics. There are boring reasons for this which I won't go into. But the left increasingly defines itself as NOT RIGHT rather than being innovative and progressive.

Someone described it to me as a mountain rage. We are all together in the foothills, most of us not Trump, child safety, being prosperous, being free, being able to keep your family housed, safe and well etc. The politics are the tops of the mountains. Where people pretend that the only way to do the foothills stuff is by doing what they believe. GCFs and TRAs are both shouting about child safety and disagree about how to achieve it. We all need to bring it back to the foothills. Trump however, doesn't even care about the same foothills as all the sane people. He's living in a different place.
