ok, E. Kathryn, but do you think Trump writes these Executive Orders HIMSELF??! Of course not. But he is likely to post on "Truth Social" and tweet himself.

The Executive Orders involving separating biological males from female sports were NOT authored by him. He has female athletes, like RILEY GAINES, behind him on that, as well as many, many others.

We can use these Executive Orders as a springboard to try to get some commonsense through.

Thinking more strategically will help.

Sorry Joanna: The Trump trick is not going to work on our adult children and joining that ideology to a fight for our children's souls is not a strategy but a big lie and they won't be any closer to getting free by any parent aligning with the him or his agenda...quite the opposite. Get off that limb that's about to fall off the tree .

Hi Colleen,

I don't understand your comment. Maybe some periods or commas would help.

Pn the other hand, hospitals and clinics who make bank on this scam won’t abandon the trans grift fast enough if insurance companies don’t adequately cover the meds and surgeries because they are elective cosmetic procedures. Doctors are scum like that.

I agree, Donna.

The ones who are currently really profiting are involved in the medical establishment and the insurance scam. The Medical-Pharma complex makes upwards of 1 million dollars per person that it convinces to go on this "affirming" medical merry go-round.

The Liberals of Canada have created a Death State. God will never forgive Canada for MAID. If I were you I would be more concerned about that than the fact that Liberals don't like Donald Trump.

By the way, the purpose of a candle is to lead people out of danger. It isn't for the purpose of roasting marshmallows inside a dark cave. It's to get people the heck away from a dangerous situation. That's what light does. That is the significance of God leading the Israelites by a pillar of fire by night. Unless you are willing to tell sinners that "They are going the wrong way, buddy." your candle isn't even fit enough to roast marshmallows.

MAGA forever! Christ is King!

But that isn't what you do, is it, Darlin'? When it's safe, you prissily claim that you love Jesus. But if proclaiming your faith in Jesus, might cost you a heathen friend, you can sneer and mock God's people with the best of them. You are the worst of the worst. You aren't just a coward, you are a sneak:

Psalm 1

1 Blessed is the person who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,

Nor stand in the [a]path of sinners,

Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!

2 But his delight is in the Law of the Lord,

Wow!! You know precisely nothing about me except I am a Canadian who cares about suffering parents who are being wounded by trans evil. I think you are transferring your hurt and anger at the wrong target.

Except...You only care about these parents under secret of darkness, aka, the world wide web, with an anonymous id. As far as losing a liberal heathen "friend" from your friend roster by proclaiming that you believe the bible--then not so much.

Do you live in Canada? No you don't. In this so called "Death State" that you describe also is LIFE SAVING state. I have had life saving surgery more than once with the Excellent health care system we have in CANADA. Do we have problems? Sure. But he who is without sin cast the first stone as Jesus said. Canada out THRIVES the US as a place to live in the world by so many margins as to be laughable. Look it up. We THRIVE. We live longer and have a better quality of life and a lower rate of babies and mothers dying in the birth process. I don't know why you continue to rag on about politics but I didn't sign up for this community to be scolded ! Lord have mercy. Show us your light in the face of Jesus Christ and all else be damned.

And by the way, you are the one who started the political conversation when you told me that I shouldn't hang around MAGA or bible believers. It appears that you are just fine with political conversations when you can get a snippy little piece of snark into it. It's getting "scolded" that suddenly makes you uninterested in politics.

I was giving you a word of knowledge that would lead to repentance but you would not listen. So sad that the violence of the Maga mindset is so unchristian but you just don't see it. Lord have mercy on you. I shake the dust of my shoes.

"Word of knowledge"? Are you a prophet now?

Go praise Canada to someone else besides me. I work with Canadians who cross the Ambassador bridge or tunnel to work in Detroit. There are no jobs in Canada. Canadians come to the United States to work, Canadians come to the United States for cancer treatment, and other medical procedures that they can't afford to be put on the waiting list for. Canadians order products in the US and have their purchases sent to their US co-workers so that they can sneak them across the border to buy at a cheaper price. I believe that is called smuggling, and highly illegal, but they can't afford Canada's viciously high cost of living, otherwise. Canadian men are literally forced out of Canada to work in other countries, to find work and avoid homelessness. Even your legal immigrants cross the border for work.

Canada might be really good for you. It just so happens that your well-being is on the backs of the poor and homeless who are living in parking garages. Just don't get sick. Because if you are too much of a bother your children will MAID you, like you voted to do to your mother.

Of course he writes none of them. He can barely even read. Look, It's a package deal. You get ALL of Trump along with the executive orders you like. The DOGE nonsense, tariffs, bullying our allies, and thwarting the norms of democracy in every way he can, every day. No thanks! And, no. He is no springboard for common sense. On anything.

Hi E. Kathryn,

I wrote that the EXECUTIVE ORDERS regarding separating biological males from girls and women are a springboard that we can use for common sense, NOT THE ENTIRETY of the man, of course. Why do you think we have to accept ALL of him to LIKE the E.O.'s, which you yourself acknowledge he did NOT write??

We don't have to like him to recognize the efforts of the women and sanity-keepers BEHIND HIM who are trying to push some common sense forward.

What are you doing to help our cause? We can all do something.

E. Kathryn Stanley's avatar

I meant that we can't use them as a springboard for common sense, because they came from Trump (whether he wrote them or not). That fact makes these EOs toxic to the Democratic Party, and convinces them to push their own agenda all the more.

Hi E. Kathryn,

I don't think that the E.O.'s "came from" Trump, as in they weren't his idea, and, of course, they weren't his words. They originate, as mentioned, with the women and sanity-keepers behind him.

The Democratic Party has abandoned women and girls for some time now. Have you read "The Reckoning" by lifelong Democrat, Kara Dansky?? Highly recommend.

I live in NYC, where there is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), who uses her big (Democrat) voice to try to sacrifice women and girls on the altar of "trans" ideology at every step.

Again, we have to be strategic.

E. Kathryn Stanley's avatar

Where you first go wrong is in your assumption that there any sanity-keepers behind Trump. There are none at all. Please disabuse yourself of this idea.

Second, you're wrong to believe it makes any difference Trump didn't author these EOs. They're declared by the president. His name is on them. No one I know of attributes them to anyone but Trump himself. They blame Trump, and Trump alone for his attempt to "erase" trans people. No lasting good can come of his EOs. It's bad strategy to think otherwise.

Third, Democrats do a FAR better job of looking out for women's rights than Trump and his MAGATs ever will. In the words of his niece, Mary Trump: "Just so we're clear, when Donald says, 'I’ll keep women safe,' he really means, 'I’ll control them.'"

Hi E. Kathryn Stanley,

Where do you live? I live in NYC, as mentioned, and it a very congested place, with probably more people per square foot than any other place in the U.S. I say this to say....I know A LOT of people. So, when you say "no one you know", I wonder HOW MANY PEOPLE is that exactly??!

I know people who DO think that it is important to see that there were MANY OTHERS behind the EO's regarding removing biological males from female sports, and that good can come out of it.

How is the EO regarding this "controlling women"?? Do you want biological males to play in female sports???

I don't like things coming down to Democrats vs. Republican, as you seem to have a penchant for doing. I look at what ACTIONS people take. And, as I mentioned, NY's "Democrat", AOC, is pulling out the red carpet for gender ideology.

Towards that end, I'd like to emphasize that YOU never answered my Question....what are you doing to help women and girls?? You also never answer whether you read the book by (Democrat) Kara Dansky that talks about how the Democrats abandoned women and girls??

Do you really want to DISCUSS this, E. Kathryn, or just spout off??

I don't feel the need to discuss this or answer your questions. I only wanted to make the point that Democrats who see Trump as their ally in this or any other issue are sorely mistaken. Nothing good will come of Trump round two.

Sorry, but I did participate in a discussion in earlier comments, and yet I keep hitting a brick wall with you, so I'm done.

No need to make a false apology.

The "brick wall" is an alternate opinion.

Not all women are allies, obviously. You never even answered what are YOU doing to help the cause...but I actually am an activist, so I don't really want to bother with those who are just interested in "nowhere bickering".
