It's really not hard to understand. The orderly manhandling the self-proclaimed Christ isn't anti-Christian: he's handling a schizoaffective person. He may not like actual Christians or the mentally ill, but that's irrelevant to the situation at hand, that his patient is severely disturbed. He doesn't have to enable that delusion. It will make the situation worse.
Similarly...
People don't like ugly people (prettyism). People don't like the mentally ill (ableism). People don't like autistics (normies get out, ree?) The primary contention is that MtF trans are alleging misogyny and denial of the femininity, and conflate the three as 'anti-trans'. And you are doing it, right now. It's perfectly fine for people to discriminate against trans people who don't pass for those reason. I'm not a liberal, or a white woman. I don't have to be nice. If a woman doesn't look or act like a woman, you don't have to accept her as one. This is, so as far as I know, the status quo for men. Is this not equal treatment? Do men not have similar performative efforts for their masculinity?
I don't have to take their claims of femininity seriously when their aesthetics and demeanor are terrible. There is a reason why the Bailey Jays of the world disappear into the ranks of the feminine gender and the Chris-Chans do not. And so, I can only evaluate them on what can be objectively observed: that those who lack the appearance of women and the behavior of women are not women - no matter how many good-thinking liberals would tell me otherwise.
Am I transphobic? No. That category I refuse to accept. But what I am definitely is not liking the ugly, the autistic, and the mentally ill. I wouldn't go as far as hating them, but I don't think that my attitude would change much if I suddenly started treating them as ugly, autistic, mentally ill women instead. In that respect, I am egalitarian in my discrimination.

No, it's not contradictory at all.
They have a (delusional) persecution complex related to their dysphoria. They believe the world is out to get them and deny their innate female nature.
But what is actually happening is that the majority of trans individuals are mentally ill men, who are obvious fetishists/have no hope of passing/who were autistic to begin with. This is a perfectly reasonable set of criteria to discriminate against. They want to be treated like women, identified as women.
But they're ugly women. Ugly women with penises. Most tend to call those kind of women 'men'. To come to any other conclusion is fantasy.
And because of this obvious fact, these individuals demand as much social deference and privilege as possible to prevent their soap bubble self-identification from popping. The oppression they are experiencing is coming from inside of their own heads - not from meany transphobes, but that internal voice that is screaming they are living a life of deception, aspiring to something they cannot have.
They are no more persecuted for their self identity then the man who thinks he's Jesus, or that lizardpeople are the world elite.

They'd be fools not to pay the Pakistanis in their own coin. The more resources tied down in counterinsurgency, the less manpower Pakistan has to point at India. The terrorists in Pakistan are, of themselves, Afghans who the Pakistanis paid to cause trouble. Now that the Americans are out, they go back into Pakistan to cause trouble. How wonderfully shortsighted of their government.
Given Pakistan's cross-border support of terrorism in Kashmir, there's really no reason for the Indians not to do the same. (Well, there are plenty of reasons. Moral ones. But we're talking geopolitics.) Let's just say that it would be a surprise if India wasn't supporting them.

If Schumer didn't like it so much then he could have whipped the senators into not voting for it. Trivial parliamentary politics doesn't deceive anyway - he's clearly the leader of the moderates! That he didn't have the courage to vote on it himself and is hiding behind his fellows makes him more wicked imo.

With no provision to extend COVID-era ACA subsidies, merely a vote, it has the appearance and character of a Democrat loss. The usual suspects on Reddit are crying foul of cowardice.
But could it have ended any other way? The Democrats are obliged to government unions, who weren't being paid: and to the urban poor, who weren't getting SNAP. Two massive interests within their base were being sacrificed for the benefit of... four million recipients? The math never added up.
You could say that the Republicans were heartless, but they have come out of it looking like fighters and winners, while the Democrats have capitulated to 'fascists'. The midterms will still probably be a Dem victory, but this act by Schumer and the moderates will not be something the #resistance will be likely to forget anytime soon.
You can't expect me to resist, no more than Don Quixote can resist riding into action when a Dutch Waterwheel-And-Windmill Poldering Society has their yearly convention at La Mancha. I hear hoofbeats...
