Nothing that I have seen yet.
A friend was telling me that the TERs lost this far worse than we did, they put all this effort into removing our rights and only managed to maintain the status quo which they hated. Maybe sheâs right, but it doesnât stop this feeling like a gut punch.

Thanks. From what some friends have said it looks like under Boris the only options were regression and maintaining the existing protections. Given that - a bullet was dodged.
And that TERâs were now switching to attacking gay guys having children via surrogacy? I guess they need something to fundraise against.

Hey KellyâŚ
Not like I was voting for her anyway, but still, this is just an extra horrible layer of horrible.

Wow, thatâs pretty naked. I mean, I know anti-trans groups are misogynist, homophobe groups that are trying to use trans rights as a wedge issue to roll back rights for everyone. I just thought theyâd avoid open anti-gay-man sentiments since it seems like gay conservatives are some of the people they are targeting with their propaganda.

I guess knowing that everyone who is going to side with you is kind of truth-agnostic makes you pretty slack in your message discipline?

As a historian, I approve that comparison!

Depends on the audience youâre delivering the message too?

From the Human Rights Campaign.
âConey Barrett has demonstrated hostility toward LGBTQ rights in her words and rulings. She defended the Supreme Courtâs dissenters on the landmark marriage equality case of Obergefell v. Hodges,questioning the role of the court in deciding the case. She said Title IX protections do not extend to transgender Americans, claiming itâs a âstrain on the textâ to reach that interpretation. She misgendered transgender people, referring to a transgender women as âphysiological males,â while casting doubt on transgender rights. Coney Barrett has also consistently demonstrated opposition to reproductive rights, calling Roe v. Wade an âerroneous decision.â She also refused to rehear a racial segregation case, raising significant concerns about her approach to Civil Rights law.â

Iâm surprised that none of them have tried the tankies âyou havenât read the theoryâ (meaning that we havenât read TER theory).
