Naked bigotry aside, we need a moratorium on people discussing language because these opinions are absolutely delusional. "Biological pronouns" don't exist! All language evolves by custom! It's obviously an insult to refer to someone by anything other than the name/title/pronoun they use!
BREAKING: The Sixth Circuit, in a 10-7 en banc decision, holds that an Ohio school district's anti-bullying policy that requires students to use children's preferred pronouns is likely unconstitutional on these facts.
Judge Murphy, a Trump appointee, writes the court's decision.

Sounds like ICE killed a guy and then held american citizens hostage at gunpoint until they agreed to destroy the evidence
Our staff is on the ground supporting families. Many workers-including US citizens, were held by federal authorities at the farm for 8 hours or more. US citizen workers report only being released after they were forced to delete photos and videos of the raid from their phones. 4/

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

True story: I tell progressive funders this about a dozen times a year. Invariably, I get a staring-like-goldfish response from them.
If you want to know why progressives consistently lose on this crucial issue, you'll find the answer upstream with the funders.

These are the worst pigs in the universe torturing all children in a not very wealthy state because the chief pig feels personally slighted, and also is demanding other children be tortured and humiliated as he demands. Of course we can't frame it this way in polite discourse for some reason.

Corrupt judges let a criminal get away with treason and run for president. Propagandists masquerading as journalists lied to enough people that the criminal won. Then the criminal sold a half share in the presidency to the world's richest man, whom no one voted for. That's what happened, folks.
