    I just googled “trans protection laws by biden” and got quite some hits explaining what he did so far, including revoking some of Trump’s anti-trans laws.

    Not sure what you’re referring to with the 33 states, but it seems to imply an issue where the federal government has no say in.

    Could he be doing more for trans rights, and LGBTQ rights in general? For sure. But perfect is the enemy of the good. Especially considering what another Trump presidency would mean.

      These stupid fucking assholes like the guy you’re replying to should go try and be trans in Afghanistan.

      That’s the kind of laws conservatives want, but let’s keep whining about Biden because he didn’t do every possible single thing he could have.

        “We just have to be second worst to Afghanistan!” is certainly a centrist take.

          Yes, because the suffering of a serf with literally no option, and the observation of a consumer on a new and unrefined product is the same as someone buying the most trendy brand consumer product with variable alternatives….

              Yeah but no one’s forced into owning an iPhone, let alone AirPods.

              The only one forced is the serf.

              Hence the meme fails to say anything. Willful participation(buying apple products) is not the same as forced participation. Nothing is stopping you from buying a third party headphones. Modern life might demand cell phone access, but it doesn’t demand an apple product. Let alone an apple accessory for that apple Product.

              The level the meme wants to operate at (deep unavoidable participation in unfair systems) falls apart because it only provided one actual example of that. Hell at least use something like nestle which is so ubiquitous you can actually consume it without being aware. But no one is accidentally buying AirPods. No one is forced to buy AirPods. Apple phones still connect to any Bluetooth headphone.

              It’s yet another example of some one mocking faux deep thought while engaging in it.

                  Purchasing the iPhone was a choice though. It tools more energy effort and money to do than to not do. So again, not comparable to the country you are born in.

                  What happened to forced participation you harped on earlier.

                  Sure you can buy it and complain but a valid question remains “Well why’d you buy it”. And instead of answering this question and trying (and failing) to hide behind the lie that you were Forced to.

                  A very quick pivot from your previous argument or forced participation.

                  I hope the young folks do devolope mutual aid networks and arm themselves. Since that’s….you know actually doing something about a scenario they didn’t choose.

                  Whereas the most effective action about apple policies is buying a different brand.

                  My god you can’t even understand the point I’m making is the examples where terrible not that the point was wrong.
