Prejudiced and hysterical (Biden)

I'm appalled (but not surprised) that objecting to the erosion of women's rights and children's safeguarding is now classed as prejudiced and hysterical according to the US president:

Biden calls critics of transgender surgeries and care 'hysterical' and 'prejudiced': President tears into 'hateful' anti-LGBTQ laws and says it's 'wrong' that you can be fired in the US for being gay 

Joe Biden reiterated his support for transgender Americans and the broader LGBTQ community Thursday, calling detractors 'hysterical' and 'prejudiced.'

Well he's right that it is appalling that in the US gay people don't have employment rights

They're not the only ones, though; and they do have the right not to be discriminated against

There's a US site called Ask A Manager that has a lot of detail on employment rights or lack of them in the US

Well Hunter Biden sure knows who a woman is, if his laptop's anything to go by. Maybe Joe should check in with him?

I can feel another email to the WH coming on...

When US universities define women as 'non men'
https://twitter.com/WCI_YRDSB/status/1665719247572434946?s=20
and the government dismisses our legitimate concerns as hysterical , the misogyny is there for all to see. Men aren't being redefined as non women, and that tells you everything you need to know.

The White House houses the executive office of the President, and serves as the President's residence.

But that is quite different from removing women's rights in favour of males and mutilating children.

The conflation of those 2 issues in the US is not a problem we have in Western Europe and sadly I think that it is what a long of the left in the US can hide behind when waving the rainbow flag.

It’s terrifying really

everyone knows there’s no such thing as a man that’s really a woman, and that sterilising children is bad

how can anyone sensible vote for people who don’t accept those things?

it’s like the democrats actively want another Trump presidency

With every passing day I increasingly wonder : who is running Biden?

Man can't stand up, can't walk, is infirm. Not through disability but through age.

Yet he reads this stuff. This stuff that's given to him. Who's running him?

If often think the same 😬

It's like you can't question Biden's suitability without being branded a MAGA Republican.

I actually found this release really sinister.

Biden is disgusting. I really dread four more years of that creepy man.

miri1985 · 09/06/2023 04:37

I have a feeling his reaction to being asked "what is woman?" on the campaign trail/debates will be hysterical

crunchermuncher · 09/06/2023 04:29

He's such a disappointment. Who on earth can normal Americans support politically when both their parties have disappeared so far down rabbit holes?

Ellie450 · 09/06/2023 02:03

It would be interesting if the US had two single-term presidents in a row.

Canada too, of course, but Canada, let’s face it, is a lost cause

I'm from Canada and I sadly have to agree.

So weird to watch the American left continuing to double down on this, even while the balance is being quietly redressed in all the Northern European countries (Iceland today, for example) that American liberals always claim to admire.

Canada too, of course, but Canada, let’s face it, is a lost cause.

I’m interested to see which way Australia goes.
