i'm not voting for any candidate that won't full throatedly support trans kids playing whatever fucking sport they want to.
I'm so irritated with these focus group tested answers about a subject that liberals and Democrats are literally being brainwashed into thinking is a critical issue.

Yeah, the funniest part of this framing is having this piece go national at the same time that Daggerheart and MCDM are holding hands and just fucking BODYING “the world’s most popular role-playing game” from FLGS to GenCon, poaching WOTC leads (DP) & setting new standards for best practices (MCDM)
Dr. Friedman raises some great criticism of the linked piece, but I wanna hit it from the journalism side. These pieces are always reductive, astonished windows for a non-existent layperson to gawp through. Perennial trad media pablum that bins nuance in favor of, well, this:

Buttigieg throwing trans people under the bus doesn't surprise me since he was willing to do it to Black people for personal political gain as soon as he took the national stage
also he's slime for pushing the idea that Black people didn't support him for pres bc we're more homophobic than other races instead of considering we just didn't like him as a candidate.

You can't stand with trans people and take a gig with Rowling. It is impossible. You can make donations, you can issue statements of support, but at the end of the day you are choosing to work with the single most prominent transphobe who uses her money and platform to harm us.
