    This is about a fraction of a fraction of a percent of children in this country. And Republicans are going insane about them.

      “North Carolina Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed Wednesday a trio of bills aimed at LGBTQ+ youth that would ban gender-affirming health care for minors, restrict transgender participation in school sports and limit classroom instruction about gender identity and sexuality.”

      I believe all transgender people make up about 0.7% of the population. That’s about 110,000. If 25% are minors, that’s around 27,000 people per year banned from getting the help they need.

      40% end up commiting suicide as it is…

      Josh Stein hopefully will succeed Cooper in the Governor’s position. He has the backing of the party and has a really good track record as AG.

      Then how come the right is busy lowering the age for child marriage, for factory labor, slashing lunches for kids, going in for genital inspections, and rocking a solidly historic record of documented child abuse?

      Why do you alt-reicht pedos always try to get ahead of the charges by projecting onto another group? It’s not even subtle. There’s only one thing to do with nazis and Nazi pedos.
