13. Only marginalized group its ok to discriminate openly against

The GOP has lost the culture war battle over gay marriage. It's not OK to discriminate against gay people any more.

But trans people! Now, there's a marginalized minority subset of a marginalized minority we can go after. There just aren't that many, even if there are one in a million, that's just 330 in the United States.

White men making laws that don't apply to themselves regulating what people they are not comfortable with can and can't do.

Why is the GOP so fascinated with what happens inside other people's pants? Mind your own pants, and get your government out of mine. Whether I have dangly bits or pregnancies not carried to term for whatever reason, what business is it of anyone's besides mine?

How does that do anything to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, or secure the blessings of liberty to anyone?
