    When asked if he would make her go to a boy’s bathroom, he then allegedly backed away, saying, “You’re attacking me,” turned around, and walked off quickly.

      Will no one think of the poor, powerless lawmakers, helpless against the whims of the trans children who hold all the power in society?

            as much as it would feel gratifying to kill this guy, there’s ten more like him to fill his place.

    Incredible. Their “commitment” to “protecting children” is already a farce, and these fuckers can’t even commit to pretending.

    Another bill, Senate Bill 88, which would enact policies to out transgender youth to their parents, was recently passed through committee while senators only allowed people who supported the bill to speak.

    From the “we can tell” crowd, he used her correct pronouns when saying he would make her go to the “right” bathroom.

    Real normal and generally mature way for a 66 year old man to be acting.

    (Then again, we did just have a 57 year old Oklahoma politician try to push a bill mandating the use of county resources to pester hypothetical middle- and high-schoolers for the sake of a dumb joke)
