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.
Why do trans people not count as a minority being targetted?
I'm curious, what rights are "granted" by making it illegal for doctors to prescribe puberty blocks when they as a medical professional and a child's parents as their guardian agree they're the best medical course of action for a child?
Saying "it's about granting and taking away" like rights are some zero-sum game feels like it's ignoring the complexity of these issues more than what I'm saying.
