1 in 1,000 perhaps. And that is usually a physical deformity that can be corrected.

I’m disappointed that this is a poll anywhere, but especially in our community. Please don’t encourage hate and oppression. This is ridiculous. Take it down.

Just because you don't agree with something, that does not mean you hate it. or hate some one.

Trans/nonbinary identities aren’t actually up for debate and it’s dangerously irresponsible for you, KTVZ, to use these topics for polls, further the dehumanizing of trans folks instead of education.

Really, Louise Baker? How is it a problem for businesses to add one measly little line to help people who are already marginalized feel just a little less marginalized? It literally costs NOTHING.

Companies shouldn't have to spend resources to overhaul forms that are already in use to accommodate a minority of employees.

Ask any obstetrician and they will tell you that they have never delivered anything other than a male or a female.

You apparently haven't asked any obstetrician. Approximately one in sixty babies are born intersex.

encouraging gender dysphoria (a mental illness) is not tenable.

Men are men & women are women. It is not fair to businesses to have to accommodate people’s personal gender choices.

Businesses shouldnt have to cater to them and people shouldnt have to be uncomfortable watching them. It's just unamerican.

Because they can be what they want, but we should not allow genger changes some people want. Our gender is decided for us in the womb. Therefore I believe this country should not allow nor change it.

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

These letters allow people who can't financially compete with investors the opportunity to stand out.

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!

Who cares? How is it not fair? Anyone can write a letter. Just another issue liberal politicians waste time and money on.

We have a Democrat controlled legislature that thinks it should have total control over our lives even to the extent of taking away our freedom of speech.
