Because at no point did I suggest they were equal in any way, whether literal or abstract, and only a literal moron would read it that way and I don’t think you’re a moron so I assume you’re trolling me.
Maybe you don’t understand the message of the original quote. I don’t know where you’re starting, but you should probably get a little less comfortable and hit the books.

Don’t know how to use context clues?

That’s because you’re looking for a scapegoat and it’s easy to pick on trans people and throw them under the bus when you didn’t care about them in the first place.

If you allow them to become second class citizens in small ways, you make it easier for people to make them second class citizens in others. Conversely, I haven’t seen you… ever… lay out any approach that actually helps trans people in any way. In fact, I’ve only ever seen you talk about them in context of trans women in sport.
Many years on this board, many conversations on the topic. Not a bother to weigh in on any but the one topic you’ve conveniently played devil’s advocate on, and are now too happy to give Republicans a win on. Interesting.

Letting them pass anti-trans laws is. But maybe you think it’s win-win?

And if a few kids and young adults kill themselves in the process, it was worth it! Am I right my progressive brother?
