The reactions to the Southern bills are grossing me out. I thought when average lefties realized what the batshit cult was actually doing--indoctrinating, drugging, and mutilating children--they'd flip out, not double down. Adults are one thing. Do whatever to your own body, but kids? I thought it was a line too far. Clearly I'm an idiot.
For the rightoids who point out this is a liberal problem -- there are plenty of conservative parents who would rather trans their son when he displays effeminate behavior than have him turn out to be gay. Puberty blockers+cross-sex hormones have the effect of neutering sexuality so it really is sort of a cure for homosexuality! [Jazz I'm pretty sure would have been gay but he's not gay now, he's nothing. Take it as a win!] Liberals have made cause-celebs out of two Christians who transed their kids (Baby Sitter's Club kid Mom & the Missouri Dad who testified trans "girls" should play women's sports). This is being rewarded by society. Homophobic conservatives are going to join in, in states where it's legal.
