“but he doesn’t say ‘trans people’” even the fucking NYT sees what he’s doing. 1—trans girls aren’t “boys playing girls sports,” they’re girls playing girls sports 2—negotiating this point is off the table 3—they’re not sparring over youth sports; they’re debating our right to exist in public🧵

They are are good at playing with words. But we see through them.

Cruz and his ilk will never see trans people as the sex they are, only as the sex they were born. They refuse to understand. “When we fight we win!”

if you’re willing to give on trans kids playing sports, what’s next? bathrooms? no care til after puberty? adult care ban? hrt registry? that’s the trajectory, colin. it actually *has been* a slippery slope in half the country. would you pass the social transition ban if it came to you, colin?🧵
