if you ask ppl "do you think gays should have equal rights/be able to marry," ppl are humungously in favor... but extend that question to trans ppl and it's a bridge too far.

Why?

Trump issued an Executive Order shutting down his Warned General.

I think the response would have been the same if she'd said a young gay person

gen z largely don't have a problem with trans ppl. i guess for millennials it's more split, but boomers aren't one to be inclusive or progressive when it comes to gender issues

Im confused. It straight people can get married, and gay people can get married, then why is they even a question if trans people can get married. That already can if both of the above are true, right?

She said some dumb fuckin shit...people are going to point it out. For me there's nothing to do with the person being trans. Just dumb as fuck to be hiring people based solely on that fact. Gotta pander though or you're a hater.

She's not hiring a transperson. She's going to have a trans adviser, because she's aware of her blind spots and getting support as needed.

Contrast this to someone who's like "who gives a fuck about the transpopulation? I don't need their input"

I think it's more about where people live, rather than when people lived/we're born for them to be homophobic/transphobic.

I doubt any of them have any objections to their rights. Item of contention has always been that identified gender is not the same as biological sex.

The scientific definition has always been centered around reproduction and chromosomes. The whole "mind" of a gender thing is a very fuzzy and unexplored area.

I think its both. Some people born in certain states (who have lived there forever) would probably be very against it. Not everyone in the state. But probably a lot. I also think older generations might have a problem with it, too. Again, not all of then, but probably a lot. I dont fee l certain states and ages have no real problems with it... or its very minimal, if they do...

it's one thing to take their input into account, it's something else entirely to ONLY take into account whether the trans advisor approves them or not.

You think people who support gay peoples right to marry are not in favor of trans people being allowed to marry?

I wonder if the overlap of supporters is low or high.

Regarding trans peoples other interests, I do see a pushback in terms of financial support or personal acceptance in some areas. For example, one can harbor no ill will towards someone wanting to undergo a medical transition, but that does not mean everyone will want to pay for it. Likewise, one can be completely friendly and caring towards a trans person, yet not have a preference for dating trans persons.
