hey, can one of the reasonable centrist writers condescendingly explain to me again that it is overblown to call these people segregationists?

this is an act of unspeakable violence. it benefits no one, it doesn’t move a number on a balance sheet. it only guarantees that every one of these incarcerated transgender people will be tortured.
The Bureau of Prisons is moving forward with plans to move transgender inmates out of prisons that align with their gender identity and into facilities that align with their assigned sex at birth.
Federal prisons prep to move trans inmates as early as next week

BREAKING: Oklahoma's State Board of Education approved a proposal requiring parents to prove citizenship when enrolling kids in school.
This direct violation of rights is a clear attempt to terrorize families across the state.
We urge the OK legislature & governor to reject it.
