That would rely on the cops being against the vandalism.

What an extremely normal thing to have to do, good thing our society isn’t diseased and depraved. This is also why we need to elect Biden, he can speak to these economically anxious folks who are just good people deep down, y’all.

But at least kids can fly free on some airlines.

That is to say that while it was made clear later in the post that we’re talking about an adult child, it probably should have been made clear even earlier that we weren’t talking about some little girl. That particular criticism should have never even been temporarily entertained.

yes, but if those “authorities” are more inclined to support those making the threats, it wouldn’t get very far... sadly

Its about creating an enemy to rally an uneducated voter base (for politicians) or solicit donations (religious leaders) with dangerous untrue rhetoric. If people aren’t terrified of the other they will be more likely to see who the real enemy of the working class is.

These bathroom bills and issues are causing the exact problem they are purporting to solve. They say they don’t want a man in the women’s room, but by requiring a trans-man to be in the bathroom of his birth sex, they are going to have someone that, in many cases, looks indistinguishable from a man in the women’s…

Maybe we should tax the rich. 

As a preference matter, I hate single stall restrooms and feel so much pressure to get in and get out, mostly due to not wanting to hold up its use for anyone else (although fear of inadequate locks is also a concern). My high school men’s room had six or eight stalls and twice as many urinals, often all were being…

I agree with you generally, but public schools are drastically underfunded in almost every district and state, and they hardly have the money to refurbish every bathroom on every school campus, even if they were to do it slowly.

Yeah, but you know how these folks are. They work to take away people’s rights, but the second those people give any resistance, they act like you came to their home and put a knife to their throat. I once saw someone say to one of them, “get fucked”. That’s it, nothing else. And their immediate response was to say…

I, too, do not see it as violence but instead a glorious invitation to become 'influencers' with a "sneak preview" of Atlantis.

I feel for the Superintendent who was just trying to do the right thing and got literal death threats for it. My heart broke when I read the bit where he said they’re just kids and none of them deserve to be treated the way they’ve been treated.

If it helped to integrate schools once, it can work again. And call in the authorities to investigate these threats, too.

I once saw a picture that had the lettering “all TERFs are invited to walk into the ocean” with like a red carpet and that’s the exact level of opprobrium I have. Like, not proposing violence, just inviting them to fuck off.

We gotta improve things there, not everyone has the luxury of being able to move and even if they could, it would just increase the asshole ratio after they left. The place won’t get better without people working there to improve it.

Coming right after yesterday’s article about how TERFs are teaming up with white supremacists as well, this is a perfect example of how their efforts work. There were assholes on that thread complaining about how their efforts to strip trans people of their rights had lead to online threats against them, and claiming…

The kinds of restrictive policies that separate bathroom usage by biological sex are simply ways to create a climate of fear and exclusion for trans people. That’s it. It’s not about protecting women (when has a conservative policy ever really been about protecting women?). It’s not about religious rights (lol). It’s…

Fuck it, activate the national guard. These retrograde shitbirds had to be dragged kicking and screaming into desegregation, it can be done again.
