It is important to know that gender identity is a culturally created construct that changes over time. There have always been people who are born with the physical attributes of one sex but identify with the other sex or gender. A person's gender is not anyone else's business and is certainly not grounds for discrimination or hate.

You can't decide for children or tell them they were born in the wrong body. I say you have to wait till your 18 to be allowed to make a choice.

Officials in Moscow, widely thought to favor Trump, were noncommittal.“The Ukrainians are pretty disappointed with Biden,” said Edward Lucas, a senior adviser at the Center for European Policy Analysis. “Biden’s dithering has a price, paid in the destruction of Ukrainian infrastructure and the slaughter of Ukrainian civilians, and in unnecessary battlefield casualties.“So although Trump might be worse … a continuation of the Biden line is already pretty grim.”
