Thank you for proving my point.

What politics are:
Should we put a roundabout or a stop light in this intersection?
Should we open up zoning to create more affordable housing?
We have a limited budget, should we do this thing A to help underserved population B? Or thing C to help underserved population D?
Shall we raise taxes for this period of time for the purposes of levying funds to provide this benefit to the community?

What politics aren't:
Should we treat everyone like human beings with self determination and the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?
Should we stop intersex and trans kids from playing sports in their schools?
Etc.

Unfortunately, a lot of people seem to think that other people's humanity are up for political debate. So now we have to treat them like they are. And it's sick.

The notion that everyone should have the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" (which is specifically American phrasing) is absolutely a political question. Throughout most of human history, it has not been the case; in fact, it was not the case in the US for a good century after US politicians jotted it down, and it continues not to be the case in many, many places in the world. How has that been addressed in the past, and how will it be addressed going forward? Through politics -- through people gaining some degree of control over and effecting change through the political system.

It's the state that ensures the protection of our rights. For that reason, rights will always be a political matter.
