Arizona governor won’t say transgender people exist

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey refused to say Thursday if transgender people actually exist, twice dodging direct questions on the subject just a day after he signed legislation limiting transgender rights.

The Republican worked instead to defend his signatures on bills that bar transgender girls and women from playing on girls high school and women’s college sports teams and barring gender affirming surgery for anyone under age 18.

When specifically asked if he believed that there “are really transgender people,” the governor paused for several seconds before answering.

“I’m going to ask you to read the legislation and to see that the legislation that we passed was in the spirit of fairness to protect girls sports in competitive situations,” Ducey said, referring to the new law that targets transgender girls who want to play on girls sports teams. “That’s what the legislation is intended to do, and that’s what it does.”

1. If transgender people don't exist, why are these GOPers trying so hard

to portray them as dangerous, exclude them from everything and generally make their lives miserable?

2. Not even 3/5 of a person?

5. If they had their way...

They'd make trans people 0/5 of a person. Which is what they are trying to do. Which is how they already view them.

It is time to present anti-humanity GOP politicos with photos of hermaphrodites and ask them to identify the gender.
It certainly seems to me that the one inside the body knows better 'what's what' than any outside observer ever could.

It is obvious that not everybody is born with the appropriate body for the purpose those individuals' lives.
Those who say God makes no mistakes are essentially wrong.
Societies fail when they become rigid and seek to deny, avoid, reject objective reality in favor of inbred mythology.

However, the inner-knowing-conscious-being can only fail by identifying too deeply with humanities wrappers (body, family, nation, culture, etc).

I'm so glad I bother them for being me!
