I downvoted because this is the mother of all strawman posts.

It’s no less true.

I had a recent train of thought like this not long ago when Talarico affirmed MAGA talking points about trans athletes in women's sports.

The number of trans athletes active in the US is about ten. The number of sports injuries involving trans athletes is less than that.

Bit this raises a question about the safety of women's sports, or all sports, for that matter. Injuries are ubiquitous in sports, all cis-on-cis, with exceptions fewer than a rounding error.

And then that raises the concern of full-contact gridiron football, which is a TBI machine from varsity, through college, to professional. If we're worried about sports injuries, do we stop caring when it might cut into billionaire profits?

I'm still sore with Talarico about it, but I'm not in Texas.

Libs still not giving a fuck about muslims.

Your identity as Muslim does not affect whether I give a fuck about you. I want everyone to have life, health, dignity, and personhood. I don't care what their religion is.

And sure, I disagree with some Muslims who are authoritarian, or violent, or misogynistic. I also disagree with Christians who are authoritarian, or violent, or misogynistic. It's the authoritarianism, the violence, and the misogyny that I take issue with.
