That seems to be where the disagreement lies.

No, it's where your strawman lies.

No, Some people believe that your gender is decided by the person and is fluid and can be changed whenever. Some people believe your gender accompanies your sex and is set at birth.

Sopme people believe folks should be who they are, and others want to force them into boxes, discriminate against them, and generally poke their nose into shit that's none of their business, and that they poorly understand in any case.

Most of those same folks in the second group are real big on taking rights away from anyone who isn't like them. (GOP is, after all, the party of taking things away, and has been for as long as I can remember.)

And no one really wants that shit here, or has much tolerance for it.

You are getting what you want in the streets right now, a lot of terror being visited on those who don't conform to the maga worldview. They'll get around to physically attacking queer folks soon instead of just trying to take their rights away. So go ahead and enjoy it until we find a way to put a stop to it, but don't come here to try spreading more of your baseless shit and expect a warm welcome.

I dont belong to any party thanks. I do find it interesting that your side has taken the position that anyone that disagrees with you in any way is your enemy. Ultimately that position will make recruiting voters for your cause more difficult. The other side's messaging and strategy seems far more effective and the diversity in their voting base and increased margins of minority supporters\LGBTQ\female voters would indicate your side will not return to power anytime soon(unless they lose them). Have you ever thought of adopting a different approach?

You are willfully spreading bigotry via strawmen and a poor understanding of those you seek to oppress. That's what makes you my enemy. Not that you disagree "in any way."

I dont belong to any party thanks.

So? No reason to think you voted for anyone other than Trump based on positions you've expressed. And even if you did, you are clearly on board with the destruction of everything that doesn't center cis white hetero men as is currently taking place.
