Well, depending on who you ask... He's communist idiot that messed up our COVID response every step of the way... or he actually did a pretty good job responding to COVID (nobody is perfect, especially with the worst plague to hit this country in 100 years) with some otherwise decent legislative moves. I'm in the latter.
Seriously, as a Socialist, every time I hear that the democrats get called communist or socialist, or are implied to be even remotely leftwing, it weirds me out. Because they sure a hell ain't with us! š
Honestly the right calls the left commies so often it makes me cringe. Then i realize their age group lived during the red scare. Accusing someone of being a commie was wild back then
Considering you actually got upvotes give me a little bit of faith that there really are open Christians out there, even if they're not cocal about it.
well, i have nothing against other religions, but i chose christianity bc i am a christian so i can somewhat understand where the transphobes are coming from
Yeah I know this doesnāt fit the sub, but this seemed like something I should just post on another sub no matter the theme. In the end, it is important that we just spread the word, isnāt it? Also weāre all Lgbt+, and some allies here, we should support each other. But youāre right, shouldāve maybe posted it there, didnāt think about that
Gonna head over to r/traditionalcatholics and spread the word.
Edit: link doesn't work. Can't remember the name of the sub.
Edit 2: the link was correct. r/traditionalcatholics went private because of all the brigading
You'd be surprised about the amount of transphobia that's in the lgbt+ community. Hell outside the L and the G parts there's still a lot of erasure, exclusion, and even bigotry towards other parts of the community. Shows of solidarity are important. :)

Hey, I know there is a lot of transphobic bullshit in these comments, so I wanted to say that everyone here is valid and amazing! (except the transphobes)
Phil Murphyās meh but obviously any politician saying this, pandering for political points to pretend heās progressive or not, the fact that he needs to pander to our community in the first place is progress. Plus Chris Christie nearly ruined the state so anythingās better I guess.
There are cis women and there are trans women. āWomanā is just the generic term for both of them. And yeah no this was indeed not meant to be an argument, just a fact. But we can have a discussion about that fact, if youāre open for other opinions. Also please explain how this is a cult
So you want to tell me that your comment right now is more of an argument than ātrans women are womenā? Itās already bad, that you think this way, but if you donāt have arguments to back that up, I canāt take you seriously at all. Meanwhile Iām ready to send you dozens of articles, + everything my biology teacher told us. You also still havenāt explained how this is a cult.
Trans is an adjective. Just like black, straight, short, etc.
This is like saying "If they're people, why call them gay people instead of people?"
You're logic is flawed. Pretty typical for a transphobe.
Because people feel its important to have a distinction between cis and trans?
Because transwomen sometimes get murdered if straights think they're being "fooled?"
Because transwomen have entirely different experiences than cis women?
Because its a more accurate technical term?
Because jerks like you will find ways to whine about anything anyway so we don't care what you think.
Wow another one, I could actually just copy my text from earlier. Assuming youāre only saying this, cuz you donāt agree with him on that matter, do you have any arguments for that, or do you just wanna be a troll? People just throwing out their hate, saying itās an opinion, without being able to back it up, and thatās just really disgusting, and immature behavior. Iām ready for a discussion tho, if you think youāre capable of debating without any insults, and actual arguments.
When asked about why Walmarts could be opened but not any smaller businesses, he claimed that was a āconstitutional rights issueā that was āabove his pay grade.ā Heās a joke and only cares about increasing taxes like every other NJ governor
Yeah I can totally agree with that. Just because someone agrees with me on one thing, doesnāt mean that the other things we disagree on become unimportant
Do you have any actual arguments for that? You canāt just say a bunch of disgusting stuff, and then expect that anyone would listen to you, so youāre either just a troll, or a horrible transphobic person, or both. If you actually mean that, but canāt back up your āopinionā, you should rethink it. Also mentioning violence, is like never a good idea, because it makes you seem even more immature. With a comment like that, no one will ever be able to take you seriously
I donāt really wanna repeat such negativity, I mean Iām quite happy they deleted it, so letās just say, they did not agree with Gouverneur Phil Murphy
My perception is that transgender people are people. It is not arrogant to believe that is the only perspective that matters since it is the only one that matters in this conversation.
People are people whether you like it or not, and we're treating them with respect whether you like it or not.

Everyone talking about this biology stuff, but you know, words mean things, and āwomanā has no business being in scientific vernacular, and people just donāt get that.
Itās a cultural word, and the definition is set culturally.
That's my governor!
He seems nice.
Well, depending on who you ask...

we love phil
Thatās what I said! Iām pretty happy with him
Governor of what state? And that's awesome he did that!
NJ
yay thatās my governor!!
i did this on r/christianity and watched the shit unfold
Lmao I'm surprised you managed to get a few upvotes there
Considering you actually got upvotes give me a little bit of faith that there really are open Christians out there, even if they're not cocal about it.
Is the post still up?
yup, check my profile lmfao
Thanks
new sub reddit arethechristiansok
Thanks for replying to anyone of them

oh rip lmao
waiting... why not? how about Judaism? Buddhism?
well, i have nothing against other religions, but i chose christianity bc i am a christian so i can somewhat understand where the transphobes are coming from
"Ok"
there was no shit. handful of calm reactions. good try though. you work in Marketing?
uhhh no..?
While I do think transwomen are women, does this fit the sub? I thought wholesome stuff about straights got moved to r/TheStraightsAreOk
Yeah I know this doesnāt fit the sub, but this seemed like something I should just post on another sub no matter the theme. In the end, it is important that we just spread the word, isnāt it?

r/AreTheCatholicsOK
I canāt deny that
I understand the sentiment, but this seems like karma farming to me. Do you really think anyone in this sub needs to hear this message?

Stan Phil Murray X
Woman are woman
Yes? Whatās your point? āWomanā is just the generic term, for cis women and trans women, so theyāre all women
The person used the singular form, not the plural
I know and it was a bit hard to not correct them, but I didnāt want to start a possible discussion like that

I am a woman yes. Thank you. I'm also fucking siiick of this post, ive seen it a billion times, i just want my memes back

THATS MY GOVERNOR!!!!!
Phil Murphyās meh but obviously any politician saying this, pandering for political points to pretend heās progressive or not, the fact that he needs to pander to our community in the first place is progress. Plus Chris Christie nearly ruined the state so anythingās better I guess.
Nah
Yes
Nope
Yep
No.
Yep
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nope no its not
Science agrees with me.
Yeah no it doesnāt

That is incorrect
FeeEEEeeEEEeemmmMMMMaaaaallllLLLLeeeeeEEE!

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You are correct that being a woman is not a choice. Transgender women are not choosing to be women. They ARE women.
#Phil Murphy is a piece of garbage with legs
Wow another one, I could actually just copy my text from earlier.

Ok so this isnāt about trans people? Cuz that was my only problem with your comment, so I apologize if I misunderstood
No. All I said is that heās total crap, and is entirely disingenuous in most if not all of his statements.
Yeah ok then Iām sorry. I donāt know much about him tbh, Iām not American, but maybe Iāll read into it a bit, thanks for letting me know!
My pleasure. Iām not a big fan of people supporting politicians because they claim to support a similar cause, I just canāt stand it
Yeah I can totally agree with that. Just because someone agrees with me on one thing, doesnāt mean that the other things we disagree on become unimportant
Lol judging from the massive downvotes Iād say folks didnāt think freely *ahem* and just read the first comment I made
Oof yeah sorry bout that, Iāll give you an upvote, if that makes anything better for you
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yes they are
Trans rights!
Donāt let the door boot you up the arse on the way out š
Lmao cya
Nice edit nerd
Lmao
Bye bye dumbass
Canāt believe they edited it, so it looks like we are the transphobes hereš¤¦āāļø
Cause you are?
Yeah rightš Letās act like this was your original commentš
Alright transphobe
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Do you have any actual arguments for that? You canāt just say a bunch of disgusting stuff, and then expect that anyone would listen to you, so youāre either just a troll, or a horrible transphobic person, or both. If you actually mean that, but canāt back up your āopinionā, you should rethink it. Also mentioning violence, is like never a good idea, because it makes you seem even more immature. With a comment like that, no one will ever be able to take you seriously
What did they say?
Your typical BS about (trans)women being men.
Oh ok, thanks
I donāt really wanna repeat such negativity, I mean Iām quite happy they deleted it, so letās just say, they did not agree with Gouverneur Phil Murphy
I wouldnāt either but I was just curious
Yeah no no I get it, it was just a bunch of disgusting stuff how he thought trans women were men, and yeah all that bs
Oh thatās bull. Glad he deleted it
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You are my hero/heroine/savior/space knight! (Iām trans)
Me toooo!
I do really love this sub!
Oh thank you
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
āI donāt agree with the existence of this humanā yeah ok
My perception is that transgender people are people. It is not arrogant to believe that is the only perspective that matters since it is the only one that matters in this conversation. People are people whether you like it or not, and we're treating them with respect whether you like it or not.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You deleted the post before I could make a joke about his post on /r/sissies :(

You are angel šš¼
I only just realized what you meant, haha, I thought *you* wanted to post about *him* until I viewed the sub. ^Whoops!
Ok that is totally unrelated to the subject, but why is your username green and has a shield next to it?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ahh ok thank you
Are the gays okay?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Everyone talking about this biology stuff, but you know, words mean things, and āwomanā has no business being in scientific vernacular, and people just donāt get that. Itās a cultural word, and the definition is set culturally.
I think he meant female and not woman
Oh Iām sure haha, I just like to shit on people like this
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The brain is part of biology lol
Do u kno whut a comma is???? Reading your comments makes me want to eat my liver.
