“These are common sense issues, and they are very afraid of them,” said Senator Eric Schmitt, Republican of Missouri, who has sponsored a proposal to add both transgender provisions to the elections bill. “They are very afraid of having to vote on these things.”

Fearful or not, every Democrat who voted on Saturday opposed the restrictions on transgender athletes, leaving them far short of the support needed to advance. The vote was 49 to 41, blocking the proposal from being included in the elections bill.

Still, no Democrat rose to speak against the transgender proposals. The lone public objection came from Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican of Alaska, who said that she was “not happy” to see them “tucked into” the bill because they were not germane.

“I don’t know that that has anything to do with voting,” Ms. Murkowski said on Thursday. But on Saturday, she voted with the rest of her party in favor of adding the provisions.

Other Senate Republicans cast the effort as an attempt to highlight Democratic resistance to what the G.O.P. frames as proposals with broad support.

“Those are also issues that are overwhelmingly supported by the American people, and issues on which there is legislation up here,” Senator John Thune of South Dakota, the majority leader, said on Saturday. “And so, yeah, they’re part of a package, a broader package.”

With Republicans increasingly anxious about their chances of keeping control of Congress in November’s elections amid rising gas prices and widespread disaffection about the economy, Saturday’s vote signaled that they are planning to resuscitate a line of attack from the 2024 elections: that Democrats are out of touch with mainstream views and overly focused on identity politics.

There is scant evidence that transgender rights were a top concern motivating voters in the 2024 election, and transgender and nonbinary people are estimated to be about 1 percent of the country’s population.

>>1499439
I thought we all agreed it’s better to leave these things up to the individual sports governing bodies

Yet Mr. Trump in particular made attacks on transgender athletes and fear-mongering around medical care for transgender children a mainstay of his political rallies. Early in his second term, he signed executive orders addressing both issues.

At a House Republican summit earlier this month, the president made explicit that his latest push to attach the provisions to a completely unrelated elections bill was a way to revive something he believed won favor with voters, part of what he suggested was a kind of “greatest hits” of his political repertoire.

“These are best of — you know, best of, these are called best of Trump,” Mr. Trump said, claiming that the transgender measures had near-universal support. “We should also add on to this bill.”

Senators Tommy Tuberville of Alabama and Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Republicans running for governor in their states, spearheaded the failed effort on barring transgender women and girls from women’s and girls’ sports.

Though polling has found that Americans have grown more supportive of restrictions on transgender people in recent years, their popularity falls short of Mr. Trump’s claims. A Pew poll from last year reported that two-thirds of Americans favored restrictions on transgender athletes, and 56 percent supported restrictions on medical care for transitioning minors.

Both measures are less popular among Democrats. But the party has debated the role that transgender issues played in its losses in elections up and down the ballot in 2024.

The voting measure sought by Republicans would have sweeping effects on elections, requiring voters to show approved photo identification to vote in federal elections and proof of citizenship to register. It would also require states to turn over voter rolls to the Department of Homeland Security to remove those flagged as noncitizens. And Mr. Trump is seeking to curtail the use of mail-in ballots, which would have wide-reaching effects.

Democrats and some L.G.B.T.Q. advocacy groups have argued that Republicans are dwelling on the issue in order to divert focus away from topics of more concern to Americans, like the cost of living, health care and the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

“When the wheels are coming off the country and they don’t have any answers for their own failings, they reach for trans people and try to throw them under the bus,” said Brandon Wolf, a spokesman for the Human Rights Campaign.

>>1499439
What is the purpose of targeting transgender

>>1499444
1. keeping culture wars alive
2. making the anti-troon activists in the base happy
3. more culture war articles on trannies for another few years means more revenue for clickbait merchants

>>1499444
It became a “culture wars” political issue where the blue team supported it and the red team opposed it. Each side became more and more radical and until sensible thinking people started getting caught up in it, particularly in sports participation and other things like propaganda/awareness in schools. To answer your question, the red team began targeting it as a rage inducer to convince people to vote red

>>1499446
Yeah and the more it’s brought up in the public consciousness the more likely it is that vulnerable individuals become aware of it too, and there’s a lot of money to be made on the medical side

>>1499447
It became culture wars when republicans needed a wedge issue in elections because they can't run on their horrible record.

>>1499448
>there’s a lot of money to be made on the medical side
No there isn't, it's like 100 people total in a nation of 250 million people. The issue has been blown way out of proportion on social media.

>>1499450
>250 million people
350

>>1499450
Yeah, he actually succeeded in starting a culture war

>>1499450
Your stats are off. The more it is encouraged, for example if it were possible to get all feminine gay men to transition, the more money. It’s a growing industry, even you can admit there are more transgender people now than a decade ago.
It also only makes sense in America that there has to be money to be made otherwise there’d be no investment and no need for promotion

>>1499461
>if it were possible to get all feminine gay men to transition,
Is being gay and being trans the same thing for you? I can't imagine what kind of indoctrination made you think this was even a possibility.

LOVE KEEPS STACKING W AFTER W

YOU CANT STOP THE LOVE WITH YOUR HATE IT ONLY GIVES FUEL TO LOVE

I wonder if they will try to get it through by either nuking the filibuster or forcing the opponents of the bill to talk until they can't anymore during the filibuster.

Betting odds indicate that it will not get through the senate. Republicans are likely to just keep talking without ever actually pushing it through.

>>1499465
Not the same and I didn’t say it was. What I said is what I said, if feminine gays can be convinced to transition there’s money to be made there with all the drugs and procedures and therapy they need. There’s millions of feminine gays in America, that’s quite a market

>>1499439
why are half of these reasonable and the other half something a captain planet villain would do just to fuck the environment and everyone over

>>1499461
Ah yes, transitioning is so 'encouraged' you need letters of recommendation from psychologists requiring a significant amount of therapy before you can start. They're really pushing it on people, exhausting every other avenue of treating and managing the dysphoria before they give you that option. And feminine gay men are just trans people. We totally don't have brain scans that can show you the difference, that can show you a trans woman's brain works more similarly to a Cisco woman's than a man's. Literally every major medical organization in the world doesn't support gender affirming care, it's just doctors talking men into cutting off their dicks./s

I want to ask if it's exhausting being so fucking stupid, but I know the answer. Yes, it absolutely is, to everyone around you.

>>1499444
They couldn't bitch about the gays anymore after the world failed to end with the legalisation of gay marriage, so they moved onto the next target on the list. It's an age-old tactic to scapegoat some minority for literally everything wrong with society, ESPECIALLY when those wrong things are your own doing.

>>1499465
They're saying that anyone can be sold anything
Which points to the belief that they could be convinced to transition if the offer was sweet enough

You're replying to a deranged, closeted trans person

>>1499497
NTA, are you seriously implying that transgenderism isn't being pushed in schools?

>>1499512
Making people aware they exist isn't "pushing" it you retard. Go outside for once in your life.

>>1499512
Accepting it is. Being it isn't.

>>1499515
>>1499517
So to be perfectly clear, there are zero examples of teachers pushing one or more of their students to transition?

There is no such thing as transgenderism.

>>1499519
Do you think they're turning the kids trans?

>>1499524
In some cases, yes. Do you disagree?

To distract from the absolute corrupt disaster that's every other aspect of this administration. If you can keep the knuckle draggers mad at immigrants and trans people you can divert their rage away from the billionaires who are bleeding their country dry. Daily reminder that Trump's net worth has increased almost 4 billion dollars since he took office. But yes, of course, be upset with the less than 20 trans athletes in the U.S. Pay no attention to the billionaire behind the curtain.

>>1499515
Yes your mental illness exists.
No, I do not want to play along with your cosplay.

>>1499562
It is genuinely more mentally ill to obsess over this little of the population constantly.

Not when activists have forced troons into the limelight. Now fuck off, play time is cancelled you gay faggot.

>>1499573
You literally spend 24/7 obsessing over other people's pronouns to the point seeing them drives you into a frothing rage and we need to have laws against .1% of the population for some fucking reason.

>Not when activists have forced troons into the limelight
Exposure to algorithmically generated conservative news slop has dramatically altered your perception of reality. Even for Democratic voters trans issues don't even make the top 5. The issue isn't that trans people are being forced down your throat - its that conservative news has convinced you that trans issues are being forced down your throat. You live in a simulacrum of the real world spoon fed to you second hand through billionaires that make money off of your artificially generated outrage.

>>1499595
Yeah right. It sure wasn't in the 2020 presidential debates. OK, faggot

>It sure wasn't in the 2020 presidential debates.
Firstly, conservitards do this thing where you talk about the same thing 24/7 and obsess over it and when any other news outlet responds to your constant vomiting you turn around and go "SEE, YOU ARE OBSESSED!". It was conservatives who invented the "litter boxes in public school" bullshit and fixated on a completely made up trans thing for weeks at a time.

Secondly, 2020 was 6 years ago, brother. Even if trans shit was a focal point of the debates, which it wasn't at all, trans shit doesn't even poll in top five voter concerns in 2026. You're obsessed about a thing that only you care about and people only talk about because you keep bringing it up.

>>1499606

Yup the idea that people somehow have the brain or the soul or the whatever of the opposite sex is retardation. 90% of troons are autists with weird fetishes, sexual trauma, and/or mental health issues, the other 10% are gays or lesbians who act identically to other non-troon gays.

>>1499730
>Pretending like you give a shit about treating mental disorders
Yet every major medical and psychiatric institution on the planet recommends physical and social transition as the treatment for gender dysphoria. Stop appealing to the medical field. You don't give a fuck about anything they have to say unless it aligns with your narrative.

>>1499711
>pushing for very unpopular causes like "gender affirming care" for kids and trannies in women's sports
The only group of people who regularly bring this up is conservatives. Trans shit doesn't even break the top 5 of most pressing issue for Democrat voters because they understand that .1% of the population is not worth constantly screaming about. Its the culture war thing you've decided to become obsessed with to compensate for the fact that your party has absolutely no political platform whatsoever other than dismantling anything Democrats have ever tried to accomplish.

>>1499439
I wish Project 2025 was that based

>>1499754

You are. Don't play the enlightened centrist card to distract from the fact that you 100% carry water for right-wing talking points.

>I agree the trans crap is a hugely trumped up issue...but leftists need to drop the issue too.
Leftists are not Democrats. Leftists are the socialists and communists who spend their life hate posting on Twitter and Hasan's subreddit and have 0 political power or representation in congress. No one cares about them. They hate the Democrat party and do not vote for Democrats. You've been misled by conservative media into thinking Democrats are obsessed with a topic that only dominates news cycles because conservatives keep bringing it up. Hasan is on record shitting on Gavin Newsom, the governor of California and Democrat favorite for the 2028 candidacy for saying that he doesn't support trans people in sports.

All you have to do is ask a right-wing poster if they've ever even met someone who had to share a bathroom with a trans person and the answer is no. Its an entirely corporate generated outrage that nobody even knows the source of because its literally .1% of the population. The entire conservative megastructure is frightened by a group of people 99% of them have never even met.

As I've said numerous times, trans shit doesn't even break the top 5 of voter concerns in polling. Its an algorithmically generated red herring and you've fallen for it hook line and sinker.

>>1499756
you should probably tell your handlers that you need a new talking point, this one isn't distracting enough

On the contrary it's entirely propped up by social media alone. Simple people who will go their whole lives without ever encountering a real tranny IRL live in constant fear of their children somehow becoming trans, and it's only because of the scarebait they see online.

>>1499756
>it doesn't happen
It doesn't. The last numbers I saw put the amount of trans female high school athletes in the U.S. at like less than 50.

>and if it does it doesn't matter
Compared to the rest of the problems in the U.S.? Absolutely not. Its not even top 20.

>and ok maybe it does happen but it's such a small issue why do you care???
Its a legitimate question. I get it if you're a parent in a school where this rare thing actually happens but you're neither. You don't have kids. You don't even know anybody who this personally impacts. Your investment in it is highly questionable.

>and it does happen and that's a good thing you bigot
Impressive strawman

>also do you say these same things to people who support tranny shit
I don't hang out on Twitter. I have close to zero exposure to communist blue haired gender abolitionists in my daily life. I personally don't give a shit about trans stuff much either way. I think the school sports thing is fine in high school because who gives a shit but in college with scholarships and limited spots I understand limiting it. Either way I don't spend any time talking about it because I can think of precisely 188,239 more important things that actually impact people's lives.

>>1499668
if you think im funny, The guy suggesting these laws is even funnier, he did make a pearl harbor joke in front of the japanese prime minister, so the guys already a top tier comedian

>>1499757
Shitposting aside I appreciate you giving an actual response and I agree with a lot of what you're saying. But I really am a leftist who doesn't appreciate how this issue so effectively kneecaps leftist movements. It gets to the point where it seems like most so-called leftists care more about LGBT and other identitarian crap than they do about improving the lot of all people, and most people understandably find it off-putting. Hell I'm a terminally online sperg arguing on Hopi basket weaving forum and I'm put off by it too so I can't imagine how bad it looks to normies.

>>1499781
>But I really am a leftist who doesn't appreciate how this issue so effectively kneecaps leftist movements. It gets to the point where it seems like most so-called leftists care more about LGBT and other identitarian crap than they do about improving the lot of all people
The issue is two-fold. Firstly, leftists aren't on my team. I'm a liberal. I don't really care about their messaging because they're not even adjacent to my political platform. They have no representation in congress, no political capital, and no desire to make any electoral impact whatsoever. Most importantly, they don't believe in liberal democracy. I see them as equal enemies to me as MAGA fascists.

The second part is that the problem isn't leftists being obsessed with trans stuff. The problem is right wing media successfully high-jacking the narrative and convincing everyone that leftists are democrats. Like, the fact that Matt Walsh can scream about Democrats being obsessed with trans stuff and as proof he puts up on the screen a Twitter account with 15 followers and people take him seriously says to me that the issue is the audience, not the message. I'm really not interested in building a Democrat coalition where all we do is let conservatives set the agenda and perpetually walking around disavowing ourselves from communist tankie twitter. Its a losing battle and it forwards none of our agenda.

If they vote for democrats then they're democrats. It's not rocket science.

>>1499800
>If they vote for democrats then they're democrats
Firstly, that's retarded. Nobody would ever claim that swaying an independent or a moderate to vote a certain direction during a specific election makes them a card carrying member of that party. If that were the case then we wouldn't spend so much goddamn time every election cycle trying to recruit undecideds. Elections are always about moderates and turnout, without exception. Secondly, leftists don't vote for democrats. That's literally their whole thing. They either vote third party or don't vote at all. This has been a thing since the "bernie or bust" movement of 2016.

>It's not rocket science
It apparently is if you're so disconnected from modern politics that you think liberals and leftists are the same thing.

>>1499795

>>1499803

No, you're retarded. If you support democrats by voting for them then congratulations, you're on their team. I'm not going to pick through someone's voting history to find out they voted R 15 years ago.

>Secondly, leftists don't vote for democrats.
[citation needed]

>It apparently is if you're so disconnected from modern politics that you think liberals and leftists are the same thing.
Well rather than waste my time arguing semantics with you, why don't you list the key differences between the two groups so I can point out where you're wrong.

>>1499781
You're not a Leftist, that's a stupid, meaningless word used to 'other' people who disagree by right wing retards. 'Leftists' do not self-identify as leftists. At best you're a useful idiot parroting right wing narratives. At worst you're a particularly untalented troll/shill.

If you were actually a 'Leftist,' you would be concerned at closeted faggot republicans for obessesing over legislation to take rights from trans people, instead of the left for responding to those attacks, and you wouldn't accept the right wing narrative all the left cares about is identity politics, you'd actually be able to point to left wing policy that did make life's better for people. Like the ACA. Like the tax cuts for small businesses and first time home buyers Harris outlined in the same debate she made mango Mussilini rave about immigrants eating pets on national TV in.

'Leftists' don't typically say faggot or retard either. To be frank, I'm taking those words back from retarded faggot conservatives. Partially because those are fun, accurate words to describe conservatives. Partly to dispel stupid fucking bullshit like your argument here.

Dems have better policy. Period. It's objective at this point. If you think they're all pussies and you have a problem with them on that basis, then guess what? You should try voting blue, and NOT being a giant pussy, like everybody who wasn't too insecure in their sexuality to buy that knuckle-dragging bullshit.

Eat shit and die low effort shill.

>>1499807
>If you were actually a 'Leftist,' you would be concerned at closeted faggot republicans for obessesing over legislation to take rights from trans people,
What rights are being taken away from trans people? You don't have a right to use the woman's restroom, you don't have a right to play on an all girl's sports team, and you don't have a right to force everyone to call you by whatever pronoun you identify as.

>>1499810
>What rights are being taken away from trans people?
I don't agree with the self-identifying leftist guy but the rights they've had taken away recently is inclusion in federal discrimination protections (meaning employers and landlords can deny people based on gender identity) and access to any sort of healthcare. Several conservative states have passed legislation preventing doctors to provide gender affirming care even to adults.

>>1499811
>I don't agree with the self-identifying leftist guy but the rights they've had taken away recently is inclusion in federal discrimination protections (meaning employers and landlords can deny people based on gender identity) and access to any sort of healthcare.
Okay that's interesting. Got a source? The employer thing makes sense depending on what the job is, the landlord part is news to me.

>>1499497
>We totally don't have brain scans that can show you a trans woman's brain works more similarly to a Cisco woman's than a man's
you don't. You have evidence showing that a transwoman's brain is slightly different from a normal man's which is to be expected because the transwoman is a mentally ill man, and mentally ill people have different brains. But a mentally ill man's brain is still more similar to a normal man's brain than it is to a woman's brain.

you're so stupid that you unironically believe that a biological human male can magically become a biological human female.

>>1500076
wow anon, you're so obsessed with trans people that i forgot about the files

>>1500076
Gear up, you're going to have a suicidal week when Trump dies and America has a weeklong block party celebrating
Its going to be the real version of what you pretend happened with Charlie Kirk, but no one is going to even pretend to care

>>1500077
wow anon, you pointed out that billionaires raped kids on an island I forgot that you're so stupid you let yourself get brainwashed into thinking men can become women!

You want to talk about Epstein go make a thread, this thread is about the fact that the majority of Democrats are retarded brainwashed NPCs

>>1500081
Rent free lmao.

>>1500081
>wow anon, you pointed out that billionaires raped kids on an island I forgot
its weird you need multiple reminders that raping kids is wrong

It’s really about authoritarian republicans trying to control every aspect of life

the shill is having another meltdown

>>1500093
you can even tell what phrase tilted them, lmao

>>1500092
I can’t say for sure if you’re a brainwashed npc but you are most definitely a retard.
The matter of which category trans people should be allowed to compete in should be decided by the individual administration and governing bodies of the various sports and sporting leagues in which this matter is relevant. Government interference is not necessary and is an authoritarian approach to the matter

>>1500095
but all the locals know me and hate me and banned me from those bodies because I'm a brainwashed retard
I need the federal government to make people do what I say instead of what they agree is right for their communities

>>1500095
>you think men are not women so that makes you a retard
lol
>it's authoritarian to point out that men are not women
lmao

>>1500103
No retard. You think the federal government needs to control everything and that makes you an authoritarian

>>1500106

lol

>>1500110
I think everyone on this board understands that men and women are different
You seem to be the only one raging about it, probably because you're the shill angry about the lack of femboys
honestly being angry that effeminate men you want to fuck are realizing that they're actually women you don't want to fuck is literally the gayest thing I've heard this millennium

>>1500112
"real women" are the real fags.

>>1500112
>effeminate men you want to fuck are realizing that they're actually women
I think the troon boosters are putting things in their head.
And to be honest, that's a job for my penis.

>>1499562
you couldn't be even slightly masculine, not even if you tried reeal hard. very unconvincing performative masculinity on your part, please just come out of the closet because you literally couldn't be more of a faggot than your already are

>>1499737
you think about penises all day long and consider yourself "straight". everytime you look at a beautiful woman there's a part of you genuinely terrified and curious as to whether or not she has a cock. you think about trans shit more often than trannies. I wonder what sort of psychological phenomenon led to your obsession with gender? could it be that you feel inadequate?

>>1500112
>I think everyone on this board understands that men and women are different
The Democrat party does not.
neither do you:
>effeminate men are actually women
they aren't. Effeminate men are still men and can never become women.
>nooooo you can't just point out that Democrats are retarded brainwashed NPCs, that means you're secretly gay and also raging!
the copes just get more and more pathetic.

>>1500156
>>1500151
>>1500112
>lol you're GAY!
>you're a FAGGOT!
>you want to fuck and suck men!
wow brilliant argument, you totally convinced me that men are women.

Rule 2 btw

>>1500164
very unconvincing performative masculinity on your part, keep pretending that the reason you dedicate a massive part of your life to researching trans people doesn't have anything to do with a deep-seated psychosexual insecurity

>>1500106
>>1500109
>Title IX is authoritarian
/news/ leftists really have some bizarre takes

>>1500167
Title IX applies to sexual discrimination in any school or other educational program that receives federal funding.
That’s it, nothing beyond that. Judges will and have decided what sexual discrimination is and what a school or other educational program is. Lastly if there’s no federal funding there’s no authority under title ix it’d have to be something else (pulled from the ass no doubt)

All sports should be co-ed. Women wanted equality, they can have it.

>>1500156
You don't pass.

>>1500188
Women’s sports are a few things; a safe space for women, a restricted category of whichever sport, important for female health and wellbeing.
Equality doesn’t mean sameness. Women can have both equality and difference

>>1500176
The anons above called it "authoritarian" for the federal government to tell public schools that boys cannot play girls sports.
Part of Title IX requires schools to have girls sports.
So those anons believe that Title IX is authoritarian.

>>1500196
Well it plainly is to a degree and within its limits. Basically do what we say or we cut your funding

>>1500196
Authoritarianism restricts freedom and gives the state more control.
The government dictating 'no you can't do x' is authoritarianism. But not all authoritarianism is bad.

>>1500206
Moreover, "Trans girls should be allowed to play sports with cis girls" is not universally a left wing position. Many of us think they shouldn't, that they should get their own leagues or we should find other solutions.

The thing is, just because there is grey area there doesn't mean we have to treat them like subhuman trash.

Also, of course they don't understand that 'nuance,' the same way they don't understand the nuance of authoritarianism you pointed out. Because Republicans are massive pussies, who are terrified of big words, and don't much care what they mean.

>>1500325
What democrats consider 'treating them like subhuman trash' is acknowledging biological reality and refusing to cater to a demographic whose delusions were predated by Otherkin.
Bad people think that trannies should be allowed to do whatever they want, but only so long as they successfully crybully their way through polite discourse.

>>1500369
Literally, not figuratively every major organization of physicians in the world says gender affirming care has value and saves lives.

You are strawmanning the argument as fringe theory. You are fringe here. You are the one rejecting medical science.

Probably because you're a self-hatimg faggot, and it makes you angry to see other people getting the care you need.

You should go contribute to the lgbt+ suicide rate.

>>1500325
>doesn't mean we have to treat them like subhuman trash
conservatives don't want that. Transwomen should be treated as mentally ill effeminate men because that's objectively what they are. The number of leftists who want to treat transwomen like women (which they aren't) is more than the number of conservatives who want to treat them like subhuman trash.
>nuance
"Literally any government regulation is authoritarian" is the opposite of nuance, Zoomer.

>>1500412
I identify as every major organization of physicians. Men cannot be women.

>>1500456
Where do you people get this shit from?

>>1500412
>it makes you angry to see other people getting the care you need
It makes me angry that autists larp as the opposite sex, are enabled by the medical expert class to mutilate their own bodies, and then dems harass people who think that kind of shit is wrong because of muh protected minority class.
Literally every bad thing that happens in society is because retards have managed to leverage emotional manipulation to protect shitty behavior. Bullying is mandatory to create a civilized society.

>>1500462
He's right, thoughever, you just don't like his answer.

>>1500518
according to whom? You and >>1500466
have no evidence but your hurt feelings.

>>1500456
Cool. Now go to a psychologist and have them verify that you're every medical professional in the world. Because that's the difference between you and trans women.

You're just throwing a tantrum about it, and you're not even smart enough to make a good analogy. You clearly need the mental health help.

>>1500466
"Enabled by medical expert class."

>I know more about anything and everything than people who spend half their lives learning about said thing. This is a normal, defensible position, I am clearly sane for holding it. I'm not a malignant narcissist. I'm DEFINITELY not a self hating closet case.
