No more or less than any other group. Trans people have the exact same rights as any other person, no more, no less.
Can someone define what trans rights are?

So white men in America have faced discrimination?

Yes. Maybe nowhere near some other groups, but they have. For example, the Irish and Italians. Even Scots and Welsh got discriminated against to a degree. Germans in Texas in the post-civil war era got discriminated against.

Discrimination has always been a part of the human experience. Some groups more than others have been singled out. I think the Cherokee and the Trail of Tears was horrific, as an example.You said it. "Nowhere near".
Not talking about immigrants.

@T. A. Gardner is a cisgender, straight, white MAGAt. He doesn't have the first fucking clue about discrimination.

Oh my gosh. The whites were treated terribly a century and a half ago. It's a miracle that any of you survived to continue treating the rest of us like shit.

So are you saying it's okay to discriminate because it "always been a part of the human experience"?

They still hate immigrants. In Terry's own words, white people have experienced "nowhere near" the discrimination that others have experienced. I say this sincerely: Never trust a white "conservative" in any conversation about social justice. They are looking out for themselves and want to exclude everyone else.You said it. "Nowhere near".

You ever serve in the Navy? A widely known, at least internally, thing was the "Philippine Mafia." If you had the unpleasant assignment to a shop or whatever where your supervisor(s) were Filipino, you'd know exactly what I'm talking about. That's one of several examples I could give.

No, I'm saying it happens. It happens today too.

Filipinos comprise about 1.5% of the Navy.

Here's an example of a woman that made a significant contribution to the WW 2 war effort in the US:
Hedy Lamarr, a famous actress, was also an inventor. Her inventions, one of which involved frequency hopping and signal synchronization, has remained a vital part of our electronics revolution today.

No, it isn't. You're claiming that you suffered discrimination at the hands of 1.5% of Navy personnel. I don't dismiss anyone's genuine experience with discrimination, but bro, you have no fucking idea.

You could have fooled me.
You belittled the three black women's contribution to space race.
