I recall learning about Sen. McCarthy’s “Red Scare” at some point in high school. This scare happened in the 1950s during a heightened time of unrest and moral panic that labeled anything left of center communist and un-American. And across just my life, I’ve seen politically correct, turn into woke, and now anything DEI must be burned at the stake.

I’m reminded of the final essay of civil rights legend John Lewis, “Together, You Can Redeem the Soul of Our Nation.” He wrote that it is important to study history because there is wisdom that can help us meet the challenges of today.


And today, I wonder what it will take to break the rainbow scare we are living in that has confused hurting trans children with protecting youth broadly. I wrote recently about believing in North Dakotans , and I still do, but I am dismayed to find that HB 1144 passed our House with an amendment that restricts gender-neutral, private bathrooms that share a communal sink.

As a bill prior to that amendment, I didn’t care much about it. It was silly and based on fantasy and vengeance. Bill sponsor Representative Bill Tvieit said it is about obedience .

But gender-neutral, private bathrooms are a benefit to every student and school. They increase privacy, reduce bullying and harm, allow better monitoring for student safety, and in all ways make both student and school life better. These set-ups are not made for trans kids' benefit, they are just a benefit to every student.

In 2023, the conversation was about privacy, and today we’re taking that away for obedience? We’re hurting all kids because some lawmakers see rainbows everywhere and what is a common bathroom design as nefarious plotting. When do we step back and really ask what we are doing here? North Fargo Public Schools didn’t follow the previous bill for 2 years without incident? When do we see the emperor's new clothes on this rainbow scare and manufactured fear?

The trial over North Dakota’s gender care ban featured a youth who nearly died of suicide directly because of the ban. That’s one kid we know about. And wouldn’t you guess it, this session doesn’t have any bills helping trans kids out, and we already know how much risk they’re in from lack of support. And ND HOPES , the only organization working to directly prevent trans suicide in our state, well, that work is gone now, probably by Executive Order.

These kids' lives aren’t getting better when all we do is make it worse for them, and every day what little help there is dwindles. Look, North Dakota has some great dads and proud moms, but what will it take to see these LGBTQ+ kids as your own and help them against bullies and big government? Because they’re not scary. They’re real. They need help. They’re often dorks and amazing…. and absolutely terrified right now. And we’re not helping anyone with this stuff, we’re just making kids cry.

How many rapes and assaults have taken place in the years that have allowed boys into girl spaces?

Also, you fuckers howled and screamed over "gender neutral" facilities because YOU FUCKERS wanted boys in the girls bathrooms (and the entire thing became so fucking important because the Pentagon ended losing a good chunk of change and this was the distraction to cover it up).

People have tried to state that trannies try to find gender neutral facilities to minimize conflict and this is a bold face lie.

Also. There's no such thing as trans kids. Fuck off with this lie. There's only abused kids who's parents gender disappointment make everyone involved suffer and kids that were groomed by people they trusted.

I wake up.

I turn on my TV. I see children's media celebrating gender transitioning. I see ads for PreP. I see gay men kissing on an ad for hamburgers.

I get in my car. On my way to work I pass by several churches. They all have some variant of the pride flag flying on them.

I get to work. My office building proudly declares itself to be a safe space for LGBT folx. I know this because of the stickers on the door.

I open my calendar. It is pride month. There is a mandatory meeting about celebrating the LGBT community this week.

I sit down for lunch. The news is telling me about a new law that makes it illegal to criticize gay people.

I go home. On my way I pass by a pride parade.

I stop to get gas. I go into the gas station to use the bathroom. I see a sign declaring it an "all gender restroom". I assume it has something to do with gay people.

Now what could possibly have brought me to that conclusion?

McCarthy obviously didn’t go far enough. If he had purged academia, we probably wouldn’t have to burn DEI at the stake…because it wouldn’t exist.

TTD will solve it.
These kids' lives aren’t getting better when all we do is make it worse for them
Maybe these kids’ lives are getting worse because their parents have pushed degeneracy and castration for leftist brownie points. But they’ll never acknowledge that because that would make them the bad guy.
 
YOU made them cry by forcing an unworkable social model on them that was destined to crash and burn when it butted up against reality itself.

YOU told them to essentially cross a busy highway at night, the cars would stop for them, unless the drivers were TRANSPHOBIC!

YOU are to blame for their ruined lives, not those people who couldn't stop in time when you threw them out there.....

Suffer.
 
But gender-neutral, private bathrooms are a benefit to every student and school.
Unisex private bathrooms means a row of doors all facing a public space such as a corridor, each leading to a tiny room with a toilet and a sink. You have to build this, you can't have it in most existing schools.

It's almost like there was an underlying logic behind gender-segregated public restrooms in the first place that was purely about the logistics and not the 50 ignored genders.....

That's who should be dictating public policy:

Mentally-fragile, self-destructive teenagers.

Because that's what is on offer. It's all that is ever on offer from the troon cult:

"Give me what I want or I will kill myself and you will feel bad about it."

The problem is, neither of those things is going to happen.

NO THEY DONT. Some poor girl who has bled on her school uniform or has blood on her hands from changing a tampon needs a single sex space to rinse it. Boys need single sex spaces too. School toilets were fine as they were - single sex space for handwashing with cubicles in it. The idea of having to share the non cubicle space with the opposite sex is AWFUL.
If you need single occupancy loos then build them AS WELL but they take up more room and aren’t always safe for kids either - it’s too easy to be locked in one.
It’s either single occupancy everything, toilet and sinks in a lockable small room, or it’s a row of loo cubicles in a single sex room. Boys and girls should not EVER be sharing sanitary spaces.
 
OK John Money.

This "think of the children" defence is weak. Kids don't think about this nonsense unless it's forced upon them, and many kids who get early sexual exposure become warped personalities in later life. This shit should be scrapped and those who perpetrated it should be charged with child abuse.

Because guess what: McCarthy was 100% right. There were communist infiltrators. Especially in Hollywood, especially among screenwriters.
 
Troons go roid rage ballistic when this is presented as an option, though.
It takes them right out of the immersive roleplay. Like that troon doctor in Scotland who claimed to be afraid after being called out because he had finished changing, a nurse he knew to be uncomfortable changing around him walked in, and he stood there waiting for her to change before he walked out. This heretic would be burnt at the stake for suggesting that trannies should be “othered” by gender neutral bathrooms.
