Are those the people voting for the "have the government put restrictions on trans people" party?

I have a feeling it's not about "letting people be". It's about "let me be and screw over those I don't like"

If you live in the US, you'll meet a lot of genuinely good people on both sides of the more/less government debate.

Anyone who thinks this is a straightforward issue is dumb, frankly.

  • I'm just confused how parties that advocate for small government(in the US and Canada) seem to simultaneously target the rights of minorities.

    How can the issue people are concerned with be government overreach if they don't care about the government overreaching into others backyards?

    • What rights of minorities have been targeted? If the only example is trans rights, it's dumb to think it's a simple issue of trampled rights. There are two competing sets of rights, you grant one set you take away from the other. There isn't a good solution.

      If you think all the people advocating for small government must be fools or hypocrites, you don't understand the issues an any depth.
