What do we do to actually teach empathy to people in a better way so that we don’t continue to live in a world led around by a lot of people who don’t give a shit about things unless they personally impact them? People keep trying to talk about ways to flip anti-abortion people and the answer there is “most aren’t…

Exactly. The christofascist agenda has one goal - everyone will conform to the white supremacist patriarchy. Period. The suicides of non-conformists just saves those in authority the trouble of eliminating them later. 

Note to Texas: You have an imminent—and precious—opportunity to fully excrete Abbott and company from your body politic—DON’T waste it.

Classic conservative stance: I don’t care about it until it happens to me (or mine). Glad you figured it out, lady, but it shouldn’t have taken miscarrying one pregnancy and then having to cross state lines to get an abortion for you to realize that women need abortions. Hopefully your forced birther family also gets…

Derp

exhibit #3,000,000 of “the cruelty is the point: today’s GQP.” Nothing gives them chubs more than tormenting vulnerable people that they don’t think will fight back to feel tough. Man I hope Beto can find a way to ram this down Abbott’s fucking throat.

This is why we have to hide ourselves. Why we’re afraid to be who we are. Fear, and they fucking love that they get to cause that to us. What fucking choice to we have? If we live in a red state we have to be fearful of the people that this shit empowers to make them feel like it’s ok to treat us like we’re fucking…

the headline is as always, fuck texas

i was gonna say something similar.  they don’t see them as “children” so much as abominations to the lord.  so automatically exempt from any right to exist.

The important thing to know about Republicans is that literally nothing they do is actually for the reasons they give. There is 100% always an ulterior motive that is unspoken.

GQP traumatizes a child in the name of preventing child abuse.  Got it.  

You missed the long period of the child being under the treatment of a therapist before any medications are ever considered. This is done because they want to make sure it isn’t a phase. And that doesn’t include visits to a pediatrician and endocrinologist that each have to sign off on any treatment plan. If you don’t…

Middle school is the absolute worst and they want to throw that on top of it?

It’s ironic that Democrats are accused of playing “identity politics” and focusing on “cultural issues”, when it’s Texas Republicans who launched their attacks on trans people right after the deep freeze. You know, the one where the Dollar Store Zodiac Killer ditched to Cancun, around 250 people died, and countless…

My mom was born in the 1930s and the nuns and the teachers would beat her because she was left handed. To them, Being left handed was a sign of the devil. THAT is religion in schools and so is this abusive conduct by the State of Texas. People who bully children are monsters and need to be voted OUT. Also, my mom is…

“It’s normal for a kid in 2022 to have a trans phase.”

Monstrous.

We are the party of liberty and personal accountability.... unless you are a child or a woman, then we really need to know everything that is going on with your wee-wee and hoo-hoo. Oh, and Jesus wrote the constitution, and maybe slavery was a good thing.

Wish this kind of harassment and shaming of a child was a bug for conservatives, not a feature. Then they might care.
