I’m not joking when I tell you that you can do more good to affect real positive change and reverse this BS by running for your local school board and city council than you will waiting for a Revolution™️ that will never come or for Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries to give half a fuck about you
This explicit transphobia is spelled out in excruciating detail. Direct from Cass again.

people want a Zelda movie to be "what if Ocarina of Time was LotR" when what it should be is an 80-minute anime OVA released in the early 90's with the weirdest plot you've ever seen and at least one original character who was so endearing that it physically hurts they aren't in any of the games

Rep. Brian Steil: "I flew home to my home state of Wisconsin, went to buy a 6 pack a beer, the clerk asked for my ID, confirmed it, and then I was allowed to buy the beer. I just think it's nuts that we protect our beer more than our ballots."
