I think this point doesn’t get highlighted nearly enough - it’s a license to police the looks and behavior of all teenage girls, not just girls who are trans. It’s awful on every level.

Obama’s biggest mistake was not continuing the 50-state strategy that got him elected in the first place.

An officer told her "I am the law." Judge Dredd is supposed to be an over-the-top satire, people, not an example to imitate.

There’s a line in that story about crowds booing “teenage athletes.” Children. They’re booing children. I wish people who are ambivalent about trans rights or “apolitical” would stop and think about that.

And some of us aren’t particularly good at sports, but still enjoy playing. The kids like me, and I’m guessing like a lot of us on here, are getting shut out of socializing and just being active with their peers.

Right?! Like it's high school sports. The response to any of this should be _who cares_ if a trans kid plays, let them play! This has enabled the worst kind of sports parent to terrorize girls who play sports, cis and trans, over _high school sports_

Too bad we have ever seen this before and have no way of knowing how it turns out…

It's getting worse. They're getting directly threatened with bombings now. It was just a bag of garbage, but the intent is clear. It's terrorism.

Destroying masterpieces can’t possibly be appealing to anyone.
