People say trans rights and can't name one they don't have that everyone else does.
People say trans rights and can't name one they don't have that everyone else does.
A lot of trans people around the world don’t have trans rights or are at risk of having them removed, even in places some consider to be “advanced” like the USA.
Okay, let's assume you live in the states. Name one of those rights at risk or that they don't have.
ability to participate in sports
ability to use a public bathroom
the right to determine your own name
access to gender-affirming healthcare
to name a few
I'd like to refute your claims but I have a little more sense than to argue with the mod, who may not like what I say and since this isn't a free speech platform has every right to ban me for it.
Ability To Participate in Sports
You mean.. sports where it would give the person an unfair advantage? Ohhh no… There are multiple cases where Trans Women (Biologically Male) wipe out entire brackets and win tournaments. Men are biologically stronger. It’s not fair.
You mean… the bathroom of the sex they’re trying to pretend to be? Yeah, that’s just for safety reasons overall. Just use a non-binary or family washroom, whatever they call them.
You’re probably right on this one.
I’ll research this one in a bit.
Those two last ones are the easiest. The name one is an issue for everyone trying to change their name, not just trans folks. And gender affirming healthcare is simply not a right, but a privilege (as it should be; using taxpayer money to fund plastic surgery is just ridiculous)
Yeah the sports issue is pretty obvious, having trans women in competitive sports is unfair. However, competitive sports is not all sports. You can still play basketball at the park with your friends if your trans.
I don’t live in the USA (and I’ll take that as an insult /lh), here are some examples in the news:

I meant no insult by calling you American, in fact, I apologize. I'll read your articles and come back with an answer soon.
I think that those rights in question are things that would benefit trans people and harm nobody else
