    This shirt is tough. I think the trans flag colors are dope. I don’t get how Republicans are obsessed with making their lives harder despite not even coming in contact with trans people often and their population numbers. I saw a video of a lady asking a GOP rep what trans athletes in his district have won anything? He couldn’t name one. Just pure hate and bigotry driving these people.

      Because it is largely a manufactured problem. And not having it actually in your life makes it so much better for manufacturing purposes. You can dial up to 11 all the fears of unknown, misconceptions and what not that drive people politically where you want them, while you have no real world to push back on your nonsense.

      Yes the people that get duped do bear a bit of the burden due to not doing proper research on their own. But the vast majority of the burden is on the people that push this through. And unfortunately they are pretty damn good at their jobs.
