Summary

LGBTQ Americans are deeply concerned about Donald Trump’s second term, citing his anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, policies, and ties to conservative groups like the Heritage Foundation.

His past actions and campaign ads targeting trans individuals have raised fears of eroding healthcare access, legal protections, and rights, especially for transgender people.

Trump’s alignment with the Project 2025 agenda, which promotes rolling back LGBTQ rights, heightens anxiety, despite his appointment of an openly gay treasury secretary.

Advocates warn of significant societal and legal repercussions.

    Why would drag call you a Trump supporter? Did you abstain in the election, or spend the entire campaign season telling people that Harris presidency would be no good for them, or something?

    Anyway, since you’ve done Buddhism the kindness of insisting it isn’t a religion, drag thought drag would be equally nice to you by returning the favour: You’re not an atheist. Atheists are all abrasive nerds who insist that all religions are trash and misgender trans people who disagree with them. You’re a good person, so there’s no way you can be an atheist. You’re just a non-believing-in-gods-theist. And this proves exactly why atheists are all bad people; it’s because no good person like you could be an atheist.

    Drag wouldn’t normally say this kind of thing, but you were so nice in insisting that Buddhism can’t be a religion because it’s good, that drag simply had to return the favour and defend you from any accusation that you’re an atheist.

      Oh, I’m sorry, drag is right, drag didn’t call me a Trump supporter, drag only called me a Nazi. Though, I distinctly remember you telling me I wanted you and all of your friends dead, but you aren’t worth any more time looking because you’ll use whatever mental gymnastics you need to to continue to feel that you’re right about everything.

      The rest of your comment is meaningless, drag, I didn’t purposefully misgender you, and I thought I corrected it before you saw via an edit. It wasn’t malicious, and if it was, why would I be referring to you as drag in every other instance I refer to you?

      Utterly meaningless, much like what you provide to literally every discussion you’ve been involved in. I clearly laid out my reasoning behind why Buddhism is a spiritual practice as opposed to a religion, including the fact that, by definition, religion requires the worship of a superhuman ability, primarily through a God or God’s, which Buddhism does not have, as I pointed out in my first comment.

      I like how you are throwing a temper tantrum because I accidentally misgendered you in one comment out of the dozens you and I have exchanged, yet I already know you’re not going to apologize for unjustly calling me a Nazi because that’s somehow justified in your empty head.

      You are a child, drag, and you need to get over yourself. I wasn’t insulting Buddhism, I was trying to show you how it doesn’t meet the definition of a religion. And in turn, you’re now defending atheism, or attacking atheism, (you’re writing makes zero sense), and I never claimed that Buddhism is perfect. It’s not an organized religion, it’s just not, idk why you’re doubling down on this when you are just wrong.

      And for the record, I am an atheist, you insufferable bag of hot air, and your comment doesn’t lend you the credibility you think it does. Nor did I ever claim to be a good person.

      I’m done, drag, any time I see you from now on will only be to demand my apology, with a link to the screenshot for all of Lemmy to see what an insufferable, miserable child Drag really is.

        and if it was, why would I be referring to you as drag in every other instance I refer to you?

        That would be a really good point if you were referring to drag as drag in every other instance you referred to drag. However, you aren’t.
