Agreed but since you seemingly want to ban all transgenders from (existing? i guess) around kids because some (which youve failed to cite or identify) allegdly groomed or abused kids

So logically, more than just the individuals in the church, to be consistent with your stance on transgenders, you must be against all of Christianity right?

Reply to comment by ravenx92 in Did you know that Pennsylvania is one of the 19 states that doesn't have an official language? by so-unobvious

There's plenty of people and businesses in PA who don't speak English. I've met people's grandparents who only speak eastern European languages like Czech and polish, third and fourth generation Mexican families who always speak Spanish to each other, Puerto Rican restaurants who only have menus in Spanish, Italian neighborhoods with a ton of Italian speakers, and so on.

Source: I've lived here all my life.

Bonus points: I've never lived in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh with huge immigrant communities, all the examples I cited are in cities under 75k in PA

>I'm afraid the Right is using it as a smokescreen to hide something worse on their side

Of course it is. That's how it has always worked. With the last 15-20 years of social progress for queer folk, the pendulum is now on the other side and being deathly transphobic has become normalized. The drag community is being used as a scapegoat for wueer people and will be tossed aside once attacking queer people themselves becomes normalized (more than it already is)
