Republicans try to find ways to keep rapists and other violent criminals locked up for longer. Democrats try to find a way to keep letting them out, and give them second, third, fourth, and fifth chances. This is very consistent. It is rare to find a soft-on-crime Republican. At best you have a few law-and-order liberals, but there aren't many anymore.
I don't care who "orchestrated" the lawsuit to get trans women out of girls high school sports. The point being raised is correct -- that it's blatantly unfair to girls, and is ruining girls/women's sports. Unfortunately Team Feelings has been hijacked by the crazies who are always looking for their next victim group to pretend to care about, so the result is a "solution" which actually creates oppression of a group the left previously tried to help. If you want to talk about male privilege, it's hard to find a more blatant case of it than men being able to play women's sports.
Listen to this. I've been through detox three times and there was one constant. People from AA or NA would show up each and every night.
No pay involved and it was clearly difficult for some to relay their dead end stories. They were there in hopes others would not suffer as they had. Given a second or third chance these people had overcome the need to bury their sordid pasts with drugs etc. and became a positive part of the community. Nearly every one who spoke grew up in some very sad conditions when second chances did not exist
People are not born rapists
I've heard outrageous stories and yet these "low lives" were offered help. They feel the need repay that help and are probably the better part of their communities
