@JRubinBlogger The decision is made, Jen. Biden is the nominee. Chosen by the voters. No donor, no congressman, no senator, no pundit, no journalist gets to hand-wave that away without MASSIVE repercussions. You can't claim to defend democracy, then let oligarchs tell the voters they're wrong

Every single anti-trans argument being put forth today is just a rehash of anti-gay arguments from 20 years ago. "They want to turn your kids gay!" "School Teachers are grooming kids to be gay!" "What if you change you mind later?" "What about those "ex-Gay" folks?"

@SirChrisburt @Scootmeister "cis" is just a word that means "identifying as the gender assigned at birth". No one walks up to people and says "hello cis male!" It's a descriptor contextual clarification when needed, much like "people who menstruate," or whatever the online right last freaked out over.
