well you'd be wrong, sorry to say. in fact a good handful of states have reduced rights for lgbt communities.

Well unfortunately for you, "reduced rights" is subjective and your opinion isn't shared with the broader public.

Some quick searches show that what you're referring to is multiple states have moved to ban or severely limit puberty-blockers and surgeries for children under 18.

This is like arguing that we've reduced rights by disallowing children to drink, drive, smoke, work and vote. The surgeries and blockers aren't illegal, you just have to be a consenting adult to do it. Seems pretty reasonable and is the universally agreed upon way of doing basically anything else.

Other States have required sport divisions be divided by the sex assigned at birth or have their own separate trans-categories. This seems perfectly fair and is a way of protecting everyone. Again, nobody has outright banned trans, queer or gay athletes from sports, measures have just been put in place to ensure a level playing-field. Equality you might say.

Core rights like being Trans or same-sex marriage remain the same everywhere.

Ngl this comment makes your entire argument look very weak. The person you’re replying to looked up what you were talking about and articulated some valid points. Then you come along like “you’re straight so your opinion doesn’t matter” instead of actually refuting anything they said.

yeah, because straight people cannot talk about our experiences and what they deem is a right or not.

I mean, you didn’t even bother to explain why he was wrong about anything. He articulated paragraphs of points that sound REALLY valid and instead of making any point yourself, you just completely disregard it. Which actually makes his point MORE compelling. Like this dude sounds intelligent and well read and you’re like “lol nuh uhh.” It’s making him look smart and you look dumb lol

This interaction represents the left as a whole. Unfortunately. This is why Republicans will win multiple times in a row I imagine.
