Let me mansplain a bit about why insisting that it doesn't matter that Gus Walz is neurodivergent, "We should defend ALL boys' ability to cry" etc., is not the flex you think it is. The creatures from the MAGA lagoon attacked Gus in ways that neurodivergent kids are ALWAYS attacked: painting them as freaks and suggesting they were badly parented. Think of it this way: Calling any kid a ***** stings, but calling a gay kid the F-word hurts even more.
