That may be what you believe, however, it's not what Tim Walz believes and this assertion is a meager attempt to make Walz's position seem reasonable or not weird.
I don't know what he really believes, and neither do you.
Yes, I do. And you can, too, if you want to acknowledge your heroes actually disagree with everything you just stated about "women who imagine themselves to be men." That, in fact, they hate you.
But you like to pretend that Walz is a 1970s-style Democrat who is just interested in supporting taxes on big corporations and unions for construction workers. That's your game.
- - In March 2023, Walz signed legislation guaranteeing that a divorced parent who took their child to Minnesota to have the child's penis amputated would not be subject to an intervention by the out-of-state other parent (AKA "Trans Refuge Order").
- “Governor Walz didn’t just rubber-stamp pro-Transgender legislation, he held celebrations and celebratory signings for things like the trans refuge bill that some governors might sign quietly,” said Rohn, of OutFront Minnesota.
- Stating "trans girls are girls," Walz signed an executive order commanding middle schools place tampon dispensers in boys bathrooms.
- While Walz held office, Minnesota adopted a policy where athletes can play on the public school sports teams and go into the locker rooms of their "preferred gender." So a 6-foot, 210 pound guy can go head-to-head with the ladies on the bball court and then hop in the shower with them afterwards. Even if said ladies don't want it.

So you can tell me why 13 year-old boys need tampons? I asked Pack Rat seven times and he got extremely angry.
The tampon rules came up in debate on the bill to provide sanitary supplies in all schools. The Republican members added a rider to specific exclude boys restrooms. They didn't want boys learning about that stuff.
That's literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Literally the dumbest. They need tampon dispensers in boys bathrooms so boys can "learn about" sex ed?
Do they have calcium citrate dispensers in the boys bathrooms so boys can learn chemistry? Do they have atlas dispensers in boys bathrooms so boys can learn geography? Don't they have health classes in Minnesota? Why do boys have to figure out sex ed themselves in a bathroom stall?
Even you're embarrassed to admit the tampon dispensers were to embrace the delusion of the 0.1% of people who have gender dysphoria and don't want therapeutic counseling. So you puke up this B.S. -- "learn about" ...
