I think that might be a feature no a bug type of a thing.

So this guy feels a need to let everyone know that he hates women and trans people and is proud of it while also calling a group he’s broadly defining solely on his own terms “attention seeking”.

I have the perfect solution, though. Stop attacking trans people and trans people and their allies will stop seeking so much attention by fighting back.

What pisses me off about these stupid laws and lawsuits crystallized for me last night. These fuckers have private schools to indoctrinate their kids in; why do they need to destroy public schools?

I know the answer, though: they want to destroy public schools in order to assure their private Xtian schools get taxpayer funding. The pendulum needs to swing back hard up to and including eliminating private schooling. Even where private schools don’t consume public funds, they still consume public resources. For example, there is a Christian school located on a choke point on my commute to work. There are publicly-funded roadworks to throttle traffic during school hours and the parent drop-off time backs cars up for 100 meters or so. It’s a big and unnecessary delay.

Another example is athletics. Catholic schools in most metropolitan areas act as aggregators for elite athletes and often dominate high profile interscholatic sports. They can offer scholarships to athletes, which creates an uneven playing field. Some have pro-level stadiums/gyms and facilities.

IMO, in a country where there is supposed to be no establishment of religion, religious schools have no place in society.

Except on Saturday or Sunday. No problem with religious instruction, on their own time and their own dime.

Supplemental; no problem. But if we are supposed to be one nation, we should all be working from the same baseline of educational curriculum for K-12.

I remember learning as a child that in France, if your family moves from one side of the country to the other, you start the next day at your new school fully up to speed, because every school teaches the same curriculum.

Can you imagine what a strength that is?

Can testify. The very first openly trans patient I was faced with came to me after their previous pediatrician had told their parents that he would not care for them any longer if they were to allow “this thing” to happen. That was long enough ago that this patient has aged out of pediatrics, and I have been happily taking care of trans kids ever since.

Anyone who thinks that they’ll stop at some imaginary state border dividing the “blue states” from the “red states” on ANY of this bigoted shit if fucking delusional. They want to whole fucking country and they want to cleanse it of anyone they hate.

And the further they get from being able to do so legally, the more extreme actions they will take to make it so.

Look at 45 and how he’s acting out as the walls of justice start to close in around him. I wouldn’t be surprised in the least is he sent the death threat to DA Bragg.

Our New Zealand cousins know how to do it

I’ve also heard rumours that the “She left the country” is not an accurate narrative. More correct could be “the police escorted her out of the event and directly to the airport and dropped her off at the international terminal.”

That part - right there!

Quote from the above NZ Herald article:

Keen-Minshull, also known as Posie Parker, said she had “never been as frightened” and felt that her life had been in danger.

And something tells me she still won’t get it.
