I'm so sad I missed this. It sounded pretty hilarious from the reporters, but it's also like you laugh because you don't want to cry. I mean, it's just it is entirely predictable. And this is a deeply unserious effort that has serious consequences for trans people, but for people who aren't trans as well. You know, you're not woman enough. You don't look woman enough. You don't act woman enough.

And you're told that you don't belong. Whether it's in the women's room, whether it's in a job, or whether it's in public life. Apparently, if you have shoulder-length hair and glasses, you're told you don't belong in the women's restroom under their regime. I mean, it has consequences for people. And it is all connected because it is about control of bodies. It is about control of gender.

And it is about... rolling back the clock 70 years so some folks can feel better about their place in our society and maybe feel less competition.

First off, I'm not talking about electing anti-trans people to public office, right? Like I'm not talking about nominating someone who's throwing trans people under the bus. I'm talking about a tent of voters who are still on a journey. And again, I'm not saying any of this is fair, right? I'm not saying it always feels good.

But like I said before, we clearly were not in this spot because we weren't correcting people and shaming people and excommunicating people enough. I think what happens, what human nature is, so if you're 90% with someone, but we excommunicate you because of 10%. The right's very good about saying, well, welcome on in, right? Welcome on in. You're being oppressed by the left.

You're being silenced by the left. You're being punished by the left because of your, quote, common sense. Welcome into our club. We'll look past the 90%. And then you go into that club. And then human nature is you start to then adopt those policies and those beliefs too. And instead of being against us on 10% and with us on 90%, then you flip to being against us on 90%, maybe with us on 10%.

That is human nature. And, you know, we can continue to shed allies all the way until we have an exclusive morally pure club at the gulag we've been sent to. And it won't even need to be that big.
