Evelyn, I know that. That's why I dismissed him with a one-off. You will not convince these people with science. It's a waste of time.

Listen, we are allowed to argue publicly about this issue. We are NOT allowed to argue about Israel.

This issue is EXACTLY what Caitlin is talking about. This is a manufactured distraction. Of course real people are going to get hurt, but both parties feel trans people are useful, in the same way Roe was. Or 'Super Predators' were during the drug war. Or 'Welfare Queens' were during the Reagan era. You manufacture fear of an other, and 'the adults' laugh their asses alll the way to the bank.

I can promise our leaders do not actually give a fuck about this except as it serves as a wedge.

Sorry - I must've misread. Or replied to the wrong person.

And I agree with you, completely.

I'm not sure but I think it was meant ironically? Which can sometimes be misinterpreted - I should know - get misinterpreted on X all the time!

Anyway - now let's blame Boomers (and Bitterns why not?)
