Although I am aware that's what it is, I tend to try to save mentioning till a last resort. I guess we could be there. Arguing with a Republican about trans issues is like arguing with a rock about quantum mechanics. It's not worth effort or time. Just be content with the fact your right and one day people will look back on people like him the way we back look at geocentrists.

I'm told that they're persuadable on the issue of grocery prices and rapists in the bathrooms at congress. Just testing the theory.

Convincing a cult their god emperor isn't all he's cracked up to be is unlikely they will need to suffer a few years to have that beaten into them and even then they can always invent excuses.

So you are hoping that an anti-vaxxer and a guy who said that polio is caused by toxins will have an influence on the medical industry.
Seriously, how stupid are you?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The best I can find in regards to polio and RFK Jr. are his remarks about batches of polio vaccines having sv40 (a carcinogen); the only reference I can find to him and polio is the Lex Friedman show where he states this as well as that 98 million people of that generation have seen a spike in cancer compared to previous generations.
Is he an "anti-vaxxer" or does he just not instantly assume that the drug dealers have your best interest at heart, that they should be stringently and rigerously tested and examined before ever allowed to be put onto the consumer market?
His statements seem far closer to the later, as does his work.

Thank goodness the bathroom issue is back again to distract people from what the real issues are.
I figure murder hornets are on deck.

For example, here’s his web site and organisation claiming that polio is a toxin and not a virus.

Kennedy has been against all vaccines for many years now. In some anti-vaccination film in 2015 he equated vaccination to the Holocaust: “They get the shot, that night they have a fever of 103, they go to sleep, and three months later their brain is gone. This is a Holocaust, what this is doing to our country.”

His statements sound true to Fascists because they are racist. Like when he said that covid-19 was ‘ethnically targeted’ to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people. - or you haven't heard about that statement either?

Now he's trying to defend RFK's unhinged positions on vaccines seriously is there any level of simping this guy won't sink to.

This is performative BS. Like he's not concerned about social security or foreign policy, but goddamn, them trans are invading the bathrooms. If you're more worried about trans bathroom rights than, say, China's threat to international commerce, I'd say that you're beguiled.
Don't need to; that question fundamentally misses the point. Allowing men - transexual or not - into women's bathrooms poses an inherent risk to women.
You should know by now that bald claims aren't acceptable. You allege that any sort of man, trans or no, is dangerous. My question is exactly to the point: can you show this danger? Do you have any facts to bring to bear?
What's that? You don't have any? Then fucking man up and admit it.
Until then, let me remind you of Hitchens's Razor: What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.
Sucks to be your argument. Although I do agree that it's important to keep people like Trump and Gaetz away from underage women.
