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?

@Thelnebriati

Can anyone explain why the US equality legislation doesn't list sex as a protected characteristic?
Because the US has never ratified our ERA amendment. It's still languishing.

Thats not just a legal oversight, is it.

@Delphinium20

Comparing Trump (encouraged an insurrection, currently being investigated for fraud and friend of Putin) to Biden is ridiculous and shows a very limited understanding of American politics. Biden is wrong on gender identity and allowing men into women's spaces. He's right about many other things including other rights for women like abortion. I don't regret my vote for him one bit - the alternative was Trump and imagine what would be happening in Europe this very minute if Trump was the US president.
I don't think it's at all clear that the situation in Europe would have happened at all if Trump was President. Putin has been able to count on Biden being fairly passive whereas Trump was much more of a wild card.

If Biden was an honest Catholic he would know that the Catholic Church has come out strongly against Gender Ideology for years.

Everything he said about transgender kids in TSOTU is directly against Catholic teaching .

But he's also against Catholic teachings regarding abortion and reproductive rights - both he supports.

Oh, now he is 'not stupid' despite 'being Irish'. Verbatim: I may be Irish but I am not stupid . My bold.

I wonder how vital 'Irish-American backing is to the Dems. He can't possibly be on the ticket next time, can he?

Who actually in these threads has ever been threatened, abused or have their rights denied by a transgender person?

I've been abused by a transwoman online for saying transwomen are not women. They were quite explicit in their targeting of me. Sent a load of graphic photos that needed eye bleach. I already have PTSD from long term CSA, so that was nice.

Pretty sure most of us on here have had a similar experience or knows someone who has (JKR anyone?).

It's pretty common (TRA abuse) and does a good job of peaking the lot of us.
