Seems like you need to research the subject yourself further but your mind is made up. You want to discriminate against and oppress people. That much is clear.

what’s the point of this rhetoric. Everything shows that Americans reject the idea of trans people getting special considerations. So it does in fact matter

Gov. Tim Walz backs transgender kids as Democrats grapple with debate over bans in sports
The Minnesota Democrat has been critical of other members of his party who are retreating at a time when the issue has become a political lightning rod nationally and in Minnesota.
WASHINGTON - Months after California Gov. Gavin Newsom told a conservative podcast it’s “deeply unfair” for transgender athletes to compete in women and girls sports, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz took the stage at the Democratic Party’s annual state convention in Newsom’s home state to let his party know he disagrees.
“I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected,” the 2024 vice presidential nominee said last Saturday. “That child deserves our support. Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”
Walz is doubling down on trans rights — and criticizing members of his party who are retreating — at a time when the issue has become a lightning rod nationally and at home.
Attorney General Keith Ellison, a fellow Democrat, and other state officials are being sued by three Maple Grove and Farmington high school softball players in an effort to remove trans athletes from competing in their sport.
In Washington, the Republican-controlled U.S. House passed the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act at the start of the year, which Minnesota’s four Republicans supported and the state’s four Democrats opposed. Democrats stuck together to prevent a similar bill from advancing in the U.S. Senate, with Sens. Tina Smith and Amy Klobuchar opposed.
Walz did not specifically comment on the issues of transgender student athletes in his speech Saturday and his spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for clarification.
Minnesota Democrats are largely aligned with Walz on the issue, though not all have been so forceful.
“I understand that this is viewed by many in our community as a fairness issue,” said Rep. Angie Craig, a moderate Democrat and the first LGBTQ member of Congress to represent Minnesota. She’s running in a competitive race for the DFL nomination for the U.S. Senate in 2026.
“I believe that local sports associations and our local schools are best equipped to make these decisions.”
Klobuchar, a fellow moderate Democrat, cited her opposition to the bill in the Senate and said she, too, trusts “school districts, parents, and sports leagues to make decisions about their athletes.”
“I voted against a bill that would take that decision away from local school districts and jeopardize education funding for all students,” Klobuchar continued.
A New York Times-Ipsos survey from early January found that 79% of Americans, including 67% of Democrats and 64% of independents, do not think transgender female athletes should be allowed to compete in women’s sports. A Pew Research Center survey from February found 66% of Americans favor, or strongly favor, laws and policies that “require trans athletes to compete on teams that match their sex assigned at birth.”
Newsom, a possible 2028 presidential candidate, has been one of the few Democrats to veer from his party on the issue, while Walz could be trying to appeal to the more progressive wing as he continues to mull his future, said University of Minnesota political science professor Larry Jacobs.

NHS chiefs forced to rip up trans guidance
Advice that told hospitals to allow trans people to use their chosen toilets and changing rooms has quietly been updated

NHS chiefs have been forced to rip up their pro-trans guidance after it was rendered illegal by the Supreme Court ruling.
The NHS Confederation, which represents trusts, has quietly withdrawn guidance telling hospitals that they should allow trans people to use their chosen toilets and changing rooms.
The group told The Telegraph it had taken the guide down from its website because it had become “dated” since the Supreme Court judgment that the word sex in the Equality Act means biological sex.
Reached in April, the decision means trans women, who were born male, should use men’s toilets and changing rooms, contradicting the previous stance of a string of public sector organisations.
The confederation’s advice is now being updated in line with the Supreme Court ruling and new guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission, and will be published later.
On Thursday night, women’s rights charities demanded that the confederation apologise for the guidance, which they claimed may have led to unfair decisions, such as the case of Darlington nurses who were disciplined for demanding single-sex facilities.
They said that rather than deleting the guidance, the confederation should actively inform all trusts that it was now null and void.
Maya Forstater, the chief executive of Sex Matters, said: “Its guidance encouraged a hostile, humiliating and unsafe environment for NHS workers and patients. It was published with much fanfare but withdrawn by stealth.
“NHS Confederation should now apologise publicly for undermining women’s rights and the culture of care. It should also undertake to contact all NHS trusts, telling them that its guidance was flawed and that policies based on it should now be torn up.”
Darlington staff have opposed the decision to let male-born Rose Henderson use female changing rooms
A growing number of public bodies are changing their guidance in light of the Supreme Court judgment, including the Football Association, which has said trans women would be banned from women’s sport.
However, neither NHS England nor the NHS Confederation have put forward new guidance.
Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, has said he wants the new guidance in place by the summer.
The confederation’s now-withdrawn guidance stated: “In all types of workplaces, trans and non-binary people should be supported to use the bathrooms they feel most comfortable using. At no time is it appropriate to force staff to use the toilet associated with their assigned sex at birth against their will.”
It also tells management, senior healthcare leaders and human resources directors to take a “zero-tolerance attitude” to transphobia.
The confederation also promoted individual trusts’ guidance, such as Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust, which said: “You are entitled to use single-sex facilities in accordance with your gender identity.
“For non-binary people, this may mean using gender-neutral or accessible facilities, or using a combination of different facilities. A non-binary person can choose to use facilities they are most comfortable using, if gender neutral facilities are not present.”
‘Will not change our commitment’
A spokesman for the confederation said: “We have withdrawn our guide from our website as elements of it were dated following the ruling of the Supreme Court in April and interim guidance from the EHRC.
“Our intention remains to provide our members with information that helps them best support their staff and patients, and so we will update and reinstate our guide as soon as the EHRC has updated its Code of Practice, which will need to be approved by the UK Government, and when NHS England has then updated its guidance for what the changes mean for NHS organisations.
“The withdrawal of our guide does not change our explicit commitment to support our members to reduce the unacceptably high levels of bullying, abuse and discrimination at work that trans and non-binary staff and patients face.”
The spokesman said the guidance had not been taken down immediately after the Supreme Court ruling because the initial response had been to keep it on the NHS Confederation website with acknowledgements that certain elements of it had become dated.
It was later decided that to avoid the risk of any confusion, it was best to remove the guide in its entirety and update it later.
Ms Forstater said: “NHS Confederation’s now-withdrawn guidance on trans issues is among the worst we have seen. Not only did it encourage hospitals to break the law on workplace facilities, it directed NHS managers to regard anyone who correctly cited the law as a ‘transphobe’ and to treat them with a ‘zero tolerance’ approach.
“This is the approach that led to NHS staff such as Sandie Peggie and the Darlington nurses being disciplined in their workplaces simply for asserting their right to safety, dignity and privacy in single-sex facilities.
“Hospitals should always have been places where staff understood that sex matters. But NHS Confederation has been dragging its feet since the Supreme Court judgment was handed down.”
