In the footage I saw that was from behind him in court, his hair looks like any other Southern California 14-year-old skater/surfer kid. His hair didnât seem very long to me. Not sure how someone gets a trans kid from that.
ETA: Changed âyouâ to âsomeoneââdidnât mean to suggest that danimagoo was thinking this. Many apologies @danimagoo!
Well the trans part came from the misinterpretation of his Discord comment, but the Christian nationalists think boys should only have short hair.
Itâs just more evidence that they donât read their holy book.
I also donât think they would approve of Deborah, also from Judges.
âThis boy did something that people might use to put rational restrictions on Mah Freedumzâ˘, therefore he must be transâ. See how easy it is? Any fool can do it - even a RWNJ.
I hate this timeline.
I wish I could say I was shocked⌠butâŚ
And there we have it.
Fucking transphobes.
Unless certain genders are prohibited from flying now, thereâs not even a pretense of a security reason. They just wanted to undress and humiliate a teen.
Apparently Jessie Earlâs video on Matt Walshâs transphobic movie was removed, so sheâs recently re-uploaded it⌠it might be helpful to rewatch it and give her a boostâŚ
Cantor, a self-described âloudmouth New Yorker theater Queen,â compares his testimony to Marisa Tomeiâs feisty character in âMy Cousin Vinny,â and references âAlly McBealâ and musical comedy âSchmigadoon!â as theatrical elements involved in being an expert witness.
âThe first time I was going in court, we were just laughing,â says Cantor. âIt was just teasing about how I love being a performer on stage enjoying an audience, and here Iâm doing it in a courtroom.â
The next time this asshole is called to the stand as an âexpertâ in one of these cases, the opposing attorneys had better confront him with these statements. You can impeach the motives and credibility of expert witnesses, and those statements would not make him look good to a jury. Throw that shit right back in his face.
Well, Lisa Littman had never studied trans kids, and specifically excluded trans kids from her study on ârapid onset gender dysphoria.â I begin to suspect that the best way to become a right-wing trans expert is to know absolutely nothing about trans kids. I mean, what a shocker!
I think that can be generalized to:
the best way to become a right-wing <subject> expert is to know absolutely nothing about <subject>
while saying what the people paying you want you to say with your full chest
Being confidently incorrect and absolutely mercenary about it is the way to go.
(Just so we are clear, it is the way that leads to being very, very wrong. But, still, it is the way, if that is your goal.)
