Yeah because they both benefit population control freaks like Bill Gates, the same people you claim to hate, idiot!
@Indigo @xianc78 Completely agree (sorry for barging in on convo). As a cis male who is also a Christian with many friends in the LGBT community and especially trans, I do find it odd how lots of people could be against these issues. Abortion is, as I see with most social issues like it, a right, as it does not hamper the living of others. More people need to be open about how they treat others. Humanity survives only on the foundation of community and togetherness. It stops being an issue of politics, and to be honest, these things should not be seen through the lens of politics, but through the lens of basic sympathy and morals.
I always have been, and remain in, support of both; abortion rights because I believe the state has no right to dictate what an individual does with their body (and I don't consider a fetus a detached entity, I consider it part of the mother), and Trans rights for much the same reasons with the additional reasoning that I do believe that transgenderism is a real medical thing, and transitioning is the right thing for (most) trans people.
Now, both those perspectives come with an asterisk. I don't think abortion should be used as a method of birth control, I think it should be a last resort for situations like rape, incest, the life of the mother being in danger, or for mothers who are simply not ready for a child yet; and I think children transitioning too early could have drastic implications for them later on, the de-transitioner movement does exist for a reason.
I do see where you're coming from, pushing them as *THE* issue definitely serves those interests, but claiming they're both intrinsically linked to those interests seems somewhat like throwing the baby out with the bath water.
...Okay poor choice of words, but you get the idea.
