https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/dem-ohio-governor-candidate-amy-acton>A growing uproar is consuming the Ohio Democratic Party after Ohio gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton, locked in a dead heat with Vivek Ramaswamy, took her turn at anti-transgender politics. In the wake of the Supreme Court's ruling that Title IX does not protect transgender people—a sweeping victory for the conservatives who have spent years engineering it—Acton was asked for her thoughts by a local newspaper, the Toledo Blade. She could have offered boilerplate responses or defended transgender kids. Instead, Acton embraced the ban, casting it as a matter of safety and vowing to enforce Ohio's "settled law." The fallout was swift: Democratic equality groups posted, then quietly deleted, criticisms of their own nominee, an intra-party rupture that now threatens the race itself—a pointless own-goal by a Democrat who apparently bought the idea that attacking her own most vulnerable constituents is how you win an election.>“I do not support boys playing in girls sports. This is already settled law in Ohio, and as governor I will enforce and uphold the law,” Dr. Acton said in a response to the Toledo Blade after the Supreme Court decision. “As a doctor, public servant, and a mom, I will always stand up for fairness and protect kids’ health and safety… While my opponent tries to divide us, I’m laser-focused on issues that matter most to Ohioans: lowering costs, cracking down on corruption, and cutting taxes for working families.”
>>44227532stop tolerating ohio
>>44227614trans women are men stop tolerating delusions
>>44227623Stop tolerating radfems, cis women are not meant to have political agency
>>44227635I mean I don't agree that men are predators, but I like that there are women who agree that trans women are men publicly, because, due to female privilege, women who oppose transgender ideology are taken more seriously than men are.
>>44227623my opposition to the state of ohio is entirely divorced from my political positions on trannies
politicians have never been our friends I don't see how this is surprising
>>44227532IDGAF about sports, sports divisions have always been arbitrary. I'd like to see OTC HRT.
>>44227651you're right. it's fucked up i can drive for an hour and end up in ohio. they should just dissolve that place into the states surrounding it.
>>44227672I would like to see cross sex hormones banned completely for all ages. What you are doing is wrong and hurts yourselves and those around you. The government is correct in trying to restrain your harmful impulses, but they aren't doing enough to stop you.
>>44227680actually they should launch it into the sun and expand the Great Lakes using the missing landmass
>>44227698right again. we'll have more water using the correct pact
>>44227672Howzabout bathroom divisions?
>>44227532STOP TOLERATING FAITH and elected representatives who use it as the basis for policy decisions
>>44227760>STOP TOLERATING FAITHHow do you know someone isn't lying that they feel like a woman inside?
>>44227766how do you know a flying spaghetti monster didn't make your balls out of stardust?
>>44227741Also I think bathrooms should be gender neutral anyway, more efficient. But use whatever bathroom you pass as. Bathrooms are different from sports anyway. People get told they aren't allowed to participate in sports due to a ton of reasons when they are not prevented from using bathrooms.
>>44227685i would like to see cctv footage of you being shot in the head but we cant all get what we want can we?
>>44227772trans women *always* look male (irl), and, thus, it makes more sense to call them hemen do not need to take estrogen, society needs to treat feminine men better so they don't feel compelled to take chemicals to nuke their libido
>>44227698Pls don't launch me into the sun :(
They already admitted that attacking title ix is to exclude trannies was the first step to just getting rid of title ix entirely. Cis foids are retards
>>44227685lol
>>44227532when will the sports thing die. sports hons are ruining everything
>>44227795female privilege shouldn't be a thing at all
>>44227830What is female privilege and what does it have to do with anything posted
>>44227783men arent feminine without estrogen
>>44227791it's for the greater good
>>44227623ohio is western connecticut stop tolerating delusions
>>44227912Just let me leave first! It'll be okay! I don't like Ohio, either!
>>44227822>when will the sports thing die.only when transphobia stops being a useful tool for rightoids.there's like a dozen trannies who play official school sports in the whole country at any given time, it's objectively a non-issue but republicans keep successfully bringing it up because the american people hate queers and have no sense of scale
>>44227845women are given preferential treatment over men in all areas of life>>44227962trannies ARE the rightoidstrannies are conservative homosexuals hoping to assimilate via castration
>>44227945the Ohio Space Program is scheduled for 2029
>>44227994>trannies ARE the rightoidsyou are not actually this stupid. you just want people to think you're stupid or crazy rather than evil, so that your evil behavior will be excused and indulged.do you think trannies are more or less likely than the general population to support universal healthcare? you know the answer to this question, you already know the fact that you're going to have to explain away.
Guys it's time we accept defeat. The Dems are turning on trans because otherwise they can't get votes. I've already started my plans to begin de-transitioning. I suggest you do the same before it's too late.
>>44227685Why do you want everyone male to look like you/this?It’s gross and a debasement.
>>44228085no I genuinely think transgenderism is conservative so its funny to see their only argument against people who disagree with them being "but they are conservatives"mass castrating homosexuals is not a progressive policy no matter how you spin it
>>44228202"castration" is an oversimplification of what's happening, most trans people want to switch sex hormones rather than just getting rid of their default setting. that said, offering castration to people who want to be castrated is a progressive policy. this is borne out by the way support for it correlates with other progressive policies.you just don't like bodily autonomy when it results in people becoming less attractive to you.
>>44227962If it's a non-issue then why fight to keep troons in women's sports?
Dems are corporate boot lickers. We need to move past both of these parties and work towards actual liberation.
>>44229803nta but as long as men-only spaces are straight-up illegal, there is no argument for keeping women's sports foid-only either.
>>44227651This lol>>44227532“Ohio Democrat” is like “Massachusetts republican”They use the name but they aren’t real
>>44229898They aren’t illegal, shushThere are tons of them, mostly religious stuff and the freemasons
>>44230058>the freemasonsare literally dead. the lodges are being shut down one by one.>mostly religious stuffeven there you can't have secure men-only spaces. there is no protection from lawfare from foids.Not even gay men's nudes resorts are safe https://www.metroweekly.com/2023/07/florida-gay-nude-resort-cant-ban-women-judge-rules/You're simply wrong.YOU shush!
>>44228550castration precisely describes what trannies do to men to punish them for being gay
>>44231918you are an incel trapped in a Karen's body
>>44227644gincel proving himself a useful idiot for female supremacists in plain english
>>44230109>the lodges are being shut down one by one.Big if true.
>>44229803Because they deserve the dignity of integrationThis should not be an issue at all in high school level sports and below, just let the kids play sport in the ways that make sense to them. A lot of concerned parents have cited sports scholarships from college talent scouts, but then that totally ignores the vastly bigger issue of the cost of higher ed.In college level sports you are dealing with adults, but said adults are thoroughly transitioned. Leah Thomas placed 5th in the competition she is famous for, and her swim times became much slower after transitioningThis is all a petty avenue to make a bio-essentialist argument, but on a high school and under level that shouldn’t even matter, and above that at the collegiate level you people have actually been proven wrong but you’re ignoring that because you just assume that you are correct, just like how you act in regards to everything else trans
