Making life more difficult for people they find distasteful is a public policy goal on the right.

The NHS in the UK blocked puberty blockers from being prescribed this past week.

Is that the work of the Tories? They're the UK's GOP, sort of, right?

Is their NHS run by the Tories or is it supposed to be non-partisan? Honestly, I do not know answer to your question. They aren't the first country to make this decision though.

I do think it's weird to ban puberty blockers from being prescribed. Just let people do what they want to do and stay out of their lives. Isn't that a conservative point of view?

I am confused by your question, as it seems to skip a lot of other questions and assume a lot of other things first.

Can you elaborate? What questions are skipped and what things are assumed?

You are assuming that puberty blockers do not have long term negative effects to kids, and that kids could change their mind later without consequences, and maybe you should ask those questions first. You also assume that Republicans don't want government to protect minors, who can't consent to this, because for some reason you believe that they are 'government out of our lives' absolutists. I think that would be closer to a Libertarian POV.

This guy can do whatever he wants in his personal life. Bird it's hypocritical of him to do this while also railing against LGBTQ rights in his work.

Agreed. Has he changed his stance?

Not really LGBT but it’s own new classification. Of course this is the Daily mail which is mostly tabloid clickbait. Still interesting…

LGBTREE? 'Ecosexuality' is the latest sexual orientation that means people are 'turned on' by nature, including trees
The relationships aren't always sexual but one person described it as 'erotic'
Ecosexuality involves an erotic connection to nature, with the earth as a 'lover'

I don’t agree with that. Trans people are men that identify as women but, they are still men physically and them competing against women is completely unfair to the women they compete against. They should compete against the men or compete against other trans, not women.

This. It shouldn't even be a political issue, they have a literal physical advantage. Give them their own trans category.

Looks like this too will go to the Supreme Court. It's going to be argued that it with a ban of trans women in sports, but not trans men, it's not anti-trans. It would just not allow biological man to compete in women's sports, but biological women can compete in men's sports if they desire to do so.
