Edward could you back this false information with peer reviewed facts? I know I'm engaging with someone who has blindly drank the Kool aid but this is a cruel policy. In my eyes gender affirming care is vital and I don't understand the mental gymnastics occurring where picking and choosing what gender affirming care is allowed. Testing and giving military who are assigned male at birth who identify as male testosterone is gender affirming.

I don't see how I'm a bigot when I don't want children to be the brainwashed into getting a life altering surgery and be tricked into taking drugs that are known to cause cancer and other major medical complications I believe that you can be whatever you want to be but nobody has the right to trick you into doing things to support somebody's agenda and the real bigots are those who won't see the other side of the story

I don’t see how I’m a bigot

Of course you don’t. Because bigots never think they’re bigots. Just like how you never see anyone admit they’re a racist or a pedophile- yet, they still won’t stop whining on truth social.
