What do u really want, Joe? I don't think u are a bigot, but you need to see that things like LGBTQ rights don't have an "other" side.

Since this was directed at me, I'll answer. In the context of this discussion, I do think it would help to define what we mean by LGBTQ rights. I think anytime anybody is discussing important issues they should be detailed and specific about what they mean.

If by rights you mean "the exact same rights as anybody else", I don't think anybody including republicans disagree. I certainly don't disagree. Everybody deserves basic human rights.

I do get frustrated by the ambiguity. So if you are asking "what I want", I would say at this time:
---
Please give an example of a specific basic human right a cisperson does receive that a republican would want to deny a transperson.

And if your answer is "healthcare", please give an example of a specific healthcare service a cisperson does receive that a republican would want to deny a transperson.
---
As far as what I want overall, I want calm and precise discussion, not inflamed by emotion, or confused by ambiguous rhetoric. I do think that will help everybody, including transpeople get positive outcomes quicker.

All the outrage and yelling and fighting IMO doesn't help anybody get to a better place.
