Those conservative voices we can't go a day without hearing sure are being silenced.

Good news!
https://www.yahoo.com/news/ron-desan...184134165.htmlA federal judge blocked parts of Florida's new law prohibiting hormone treatments for trans minors.
Judge Robert Hinkle said 'gender identity is real' and endorsed medical treatment for trans kids.
The ruling is a temporary victory for civil rights groups, but the broader law remains in effect.
Saying "gender identity is real," a federal judge on Tuesday temporarily blocked portions of a new Florida law that bans transgender minors from receiving puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, ruling the state has no rational basis for denying patients treatment.
Judge Robert Hinkle issued a preliminary injunction, saying three transgender children can continue receiving treatment. The lawsuit challenges the law Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed shortly before announcing a run for president.
"The elephant in the room should be noted at the outset. Gender identity is real. The record makes this clear," Hinkle wrote in his ruling, adding that even a witness for the state agreed. Transgender medical treatment for minors is increasingly under attack, but has been available for over a decade and is endorsed by major medical associations, Hinkle noted.
The law bans treatment with "GnRH agonists, known as puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones" for minors. Hinkle wrote that the "treatments at issue are GnRH agonists, colloquially known as 'puberty blockers,' and cross-sex hormones."
"The overwhelming weight of medical authority supports treatment of transgender patients with GnRH agonists and cross-sex hormones in appropriate circumstances," Hinkle wrote. He said the plaintiffs will likely prevail, as "qualified professionals have properly evaluated the children's medical conditions and needs in accordance with the well-established standards of care."
Expertise and the needs of the children in question, not whether or not conservatives think its 'icky', is what matters.

Mets isn't actually looking for an answer because every time an answer gets a reply it either gets ignored or goal posts gets moved, which is some vintage Mets and at this point I have no clue why anyone interacts with them in any shape or form. As a supposed "good" conservative he's either really obtuse or working on bad faith.
I don't post much if rarely on the thread but I enjoy reading through it from time to time so I've seen some clear M.Os in regards to posting habits and the like and man, some are really damn tiring to read lol.
It's a good start but unfortunately is a narrow ruling at the moment, so it only applies to the 3 plaintiffs right now, others can be added for minors but it unfortunately doesn't touch the adult ban at the moment. I am glad that the judge called it out exactly for what it was though, I can only hope as these cases progress they end up in front of more judges like him.
It was much more niche a few years ago.
Republicans didn't know about it, because it was something that mainly some occasional events in San Francisco and Brooklyn.
You said that they were always against trans and that they've been making more extreme statements than they would have a few years ago. And I'm not sure that's true.
A relevant factor in the question of what the 2007 GOP would do is that society was a bit different. There weren't as many corporate pride promotions. There were less efforts to teach gay and trans themed topics to elementary school students. In 2007, none of the candidates in a competitive Democratic presidential primary was willing to openly support gay marriage (even as a way to stick out among base voters.)
I think I took you guys literally and didn't realize that you were exaggerating the law. I don't like it, but it doesn't ban drag in the way heroin is banned.
The 'icky' comment was a reference to a film critic for the New York Times suggesting there should be more kink in Disney's The Little Mermaid.
Giuliani's not exactly seen as a drag queen.
The audience of the sketch was not expecting him to be a contestant on RuPaul's Drag Race.

That's horse ****, doesn't address the point I raised, and changes nothing about what I said or what you said at the time. It is merely another fine example of you attempting painfully rather obvious evasion.
And yet, conservatives finding things icky explains a lot of our current politics, though it was pretty weird you wanted to make that about 'liberals', another good example of the way a conservative can read something and extrapolate it to the entire party, like a logo on a t-shirt, while simultaneously demanding that the actual legislation introduced by their party not be seen as a meaningful representation of what their party stands for.The 'icky' comment was a reference to a film critic for the New York Times suggesting there should be more kink in Disney's The Little Mermaid.
Hypocrite.

And for the record once more: No one exaggerated any law. A certain someone is just trying to downplay transphobia and anti LGBTQ+ bigotry. AGAIN.
