It works out that Roberta's latest happens to be a perfect fit for our "Good News!" section.
It is, after all, nearly Christmas.
Happy Christmas Eve to those who celebrate, enjoy this gift of reading about a right-wing politician having to pay a trans woman for his choice to misgender her.

People like me are being driven out of society, meanwhile this is what my congressman is spending his time on.
"porch piracy" is theft. it's illegal in every single state. in states with expansive statutes, this could even be burglary. there is no evidence that local police or prosecutors are unable to handle this. and existing federal law on interstate transportation of stolen property can handle big cases.

An underrated part of what makes Bari Weiss’ response icky is this: She thinks contrarianism is interesting.
It’s not! It’s incredibly boring!
It’s how dim people try to pose as smart.
It’s how unremarkable people try to be extraordinary.

I'm so done with all the influencers "correcting" us.
"It's not law yet"? So what? Have you not noticed that every institution has been complying in advance for the last year? Get your head out of your ass.

I won’t lie, I’m really fucked to about this.
Yes, I know: “It’s not law, yet!”
I don’t care. I don’t fucking care.
This is taking something *done to me* as a literal child and attempting to codify it into FUCKING LAW.

They are saying this in favor of hurting trans children while putting in exemptions specifically to harm intersex children.
They say it loudly, with their full chest, in the text of their bill: They want to mutilate intersex children.
It’s not for protection.
It’s for cruelty.
