Here's my fkn' hangup: The guy with the bow tie shot up FSU and was killed! The guy with the spectacles on killed two people and injured five! He's still alive! Why? I know the answer! I dare anybody else to admit the answer! And wouldn't you know it! The goofy looking dude is the son of a cop! Just exercising his second amendment rights I'm sure! We'll see him at a dinner party with Trump, Vance, Musk, and Kyle Rittenhouse by this weekend...!
She fully didn't watch the segment because Jon did a very nuanced, thoughtful segment. He drilled down to kids just wanting to have a community and have fun.
What these TERFS are pissed off about is that he showed how disingenuous y'all are when you go "omg that trans athlete hit a ball really hard and it hurt a cis women" because when you look into it cis women even on their team hit harder then them. Because he pointed out that cis girls harm each other in sports all the damn time. He pointed out that when there was a bill to protect cis women athletes against sexual predators like coaches. Y'all decided not to pass that while passing an anti-trans bills all while claiming you just care about protecting women.
I found a lost 1988 handbook from Coalitions for America, a right-wing think tank founded by the man who started The Heritage Foundation and ALEC. The document tells readers how to fight gay rights legislation and, as you’ve already guessed, it’s almost the exact blueprint used against trans people. I digitized it for the first time here: transreads.org/defeatgayrights/
Since the 1960s, the right has spent unprecedented time, effort, and cold hard cash to convince the public that treating oppressed people with basic dignity is unfair to them. We still see this 1988 "special privileges" argument in practice against trans people today.
Can someone's transition harm other people? Of course not. But the far-right wants you to believe so. Instead of spreading actual disease, this time we're spreading social contagion. Instead of divorce, we have "trans widows" and "broken families."
Wait wait wait.
The chapter is called what?

Oh.
We're at "traffic tickets are justification for disappearing people off the street and sending them to death camps with no due process" levels of fascism now.
Okay yeah we're like fucked, fucked.
It amazes me how the National Park Service is the most vocal department against Fascism. Even the Democrats are a mumble when compared to these park rangers' adamant denouncement and exposing of this administration. Support our bravest federal workers who keep our world one worth living in.
This is why I have zero sympathy for Brian Thompson.
