Right now America is a deeply divided, polarised nation on the brink of mass unrest and social upheaval. Given the situation, a sane adult President wouldn't try to exacerbate the situation by opening a rally with a prayer -- even if he was legally able to do so. Trump is a narcissist megalomaniac with an inflated sense of self importance and he needs cheering crowds to assuage his ego. Th

Trump isn't neutral. Think of the context. And North Korea has a state religion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesusland_map I've worked with a lot of people from India. The younger ones who are more my age tend to view the partition of India into a Muslim Pakistan and Hindu India as an unfortunate mistake of history. Now America is on the brink of another major social upheaval if not outright civil war. The last time it was slavery. This time it's religion.

I was bullied and I don't want to see anyone bullied again, "Popular discomfort" is just polite discrimination. Hate is not a civil right.
Forum: Recovery Board

The issue is "popular discomfort." Here's a commonly expressed sentiment: "If some girl gets a buzz cut and puts a sock down her pants and wants to pretend she's a guy, so what. But I don't want my wife or daughter to have to see some man in a dress pretending they are a woman." Again, HOW WOULD YOU EVEN KNOW? The problem here is the rejection of the conce

You do realise that neither trans men or trans women wear clothing of the opposite biological sex for erotic purposes? I'm done trying to argue with fools for tonight. I have better things to do.

it's just discrimination. And it's sick and disgusting to hear people make up imaginary threats to try and legislate people they don't like out of existence.

The Electoral College was wary of overturning the results of the election. That would have prevented this mess. Unlike ETB and Woodrow Wilson a modern President can't stay out of the public eye for too long. Trump's unstable and erratic behaviour will become more and more obvious and even his supporters will take notice. According to several legal experts Trump's questionable finances

You can look up the facts for yourself. Trans people have brains just like those of cisgendered individuals of the corresponding biological sex. It's a real biological condition -- not make believe.

Instead, they are the ones who are attacked. It's discrimination, not public safety. The proof of this are the repeated refusals by proponents of such legislation to allow any medical recommendations and exceptions. https://mic.com/articles/114066/statistics-show-exactly-how-many-times-trans-people-have-attacked-you-in-bathrooms#.M2vmlGN3u
