"It is truly a complicated issue, with a wide range of views, truly a wide range of views," Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Tuesday.

“It is a complicated issue. It is truly a complicated issue, with a wide range of views, truly a wide range of views,” Jean-Pierre said. “There is no ‘yes or no’ answer to this, it is complicated. There is a rule that the Department of Education [DOE] has put forward, and we’re going to let that process move forward, and again, we want to make sure that while we establish guardrails with this rule, we also prevent discrimination, as well, against transgender kids. But again, a complicated issue with a wide range of views, and we respect that.”

“Absolutely no reason for the Biden admin to do this,” New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wrote. “It is indefensible and embarrassing. The admin can still walk this back, and they should. It’s a disgrace.”

“Honestly, this move by Biden to push a rule on trans kids in sports is not only a backwards betrayal, it [forces] us to have to spend our time dealing with god d*** sports instead of criminal bans on our healthcare,” Alejandra Caraballo, a civil rights attorney and LGBTQ+ advocate, wrote. “He could have just done nothing. This is legitimizing transphobia.”

The mOsT PrOgReSsIvE Administration in History™ funny-clown-hammer “A complicated issue with a wide range of views, and we respect that” funny-clown-hammer Fuck off out of here with that “centrist” nonsense. There’s nothing complicated about it, and it’s not an issue unless you want to turn it into one and want to appeal to people’s emotions like Republicans are doing. It was only a matter of time before they’d start throwing trans people under the bus. I guess with the coming elections it’s as good a time as ever.

        I’m glad that you’re completely unaffected by this and don’t give a shit but for those of us that are affected you need to realise almost all of us have dead friends (plural, for some of us it’s dozens) over transphobic policy making and we absolutely regard you as responsible for those deaths. Maybe this will put into some perspective why seeing you physically feel what we feel might crack something in you that lets you feel a little bit of fucking empathy.

        Did any of this go through your mind before you decided to barrel in here and utterly disregard the obvious nature of trans people hurting? Nah. You didn’t give a fuck because you’re a transphobic bag of shit without emotions.

        Every single person that supports anything killing the people I love absolutely deserves physical harm and to be tossed out of any future socialist country. If I had my way I’d make a ridiculous spectacle of it. You’d be loaded into giant overpowered novelty circus cannons and launched into the sea where you can figure out where you want to swim, not my problem.

        Eat shit. This is not a joke, this is not a game, people die over this shit. This is the real world and you’re talking to the real people affected by it communicating their emotions in the absolutely raw way they deserve to be communicated. Have some fucking respect and stop being an animal.
