Simple, it's just an excuse to be hateful. It's not complicated.

The mental gymnastics needed to justify using the freaking House of the United States to punish a single person who they likely have never met, for an immutable personal trait?

One of the big downsides to pretending 100% of Holocaust victims were Jewish is that the 50% who weren't were sent to the camps for other reasons.

Like being Trans, or any other kids and of LGBT. The problem was even "the good guys" were anti-lgbt back then, just look at how they treated their war heroes:

And then America, who had taken in all types of Nazis scientists, denied Turing entry just to fucking take a vacation.

I think this is why so many people are shocked by trump winning, people actually believed Americans were inherently good, and they believed it.

What did this person ever do to them?

Exist.

The Republican party has used hate and fear to make a significant portion of our society hate the IDEA of other people existing. None of these people know or interact with trans people, or they wouldn't hate them. I know trans people. Spoiler Alert: they're just people. That's it. But the Republican party is brainwashing Americans to believe they aren't.

Hate won in America a few weeks ago.

I hope someday he has to stand before his victims and a deity

He won't.

The bad guys are winning. Simple as that.

Any repercussions will have to be earthly. Hope we can make that happen. But at this point I'm gonna go with "probably not", since we just elected a felon and rapist who is now guaranteed to get away with his crimes.

Do you REALLY want him to do something he thinks matters?

Ignorant, a waste of tax money, good will, AND downright malicious.

Do something that matters

I challenge anyone reading this to point out a time Republicans did something that mattered (positively) at any point so far in the 21st century.

A society with a majority of voters who are petty, greedy, ruining everything.

If it makes you feel better, everything was already ruined.

The best case scenario was continued crony capitalist dystopic hellscape with the poor's lives being burned up in subservient subsistence to our modern pharoah oligarch class... but you know with identity affirming ribbons and pins and stuff.

Now we get all the oligarch stuff with... concentration camps and death squads and stuff.

Either way, the owners win, they don't care. Their mistresses will always have abortion on tap, their nepo children will always have their identities affirmed, elections are simply for the poors to either inflict supplimental cruelty on other poors or not to give us the illusion of choice and keep us hating one another instead of looking up at our owners.

This country was ruined irreparably in the 1980s, a few Tuesdays ago was just a reminder of that reality.

I was in Europe and they had full unisex bathrooms. There were only stalls and the dividers were floor to near 8 feet. And no gaps you could see through on the doors. It was no big deal, everyone just did their thing and left.

We were supposed to be the first generation not to care about people's gender and sexuality.

Many of us got there.

Unfortunately there are some in every generation who ate a bit too much glue in their formative years.

Sorry, but us hairless chimps will forever be scared of the other hairless chimps on the other side of the hill.

Try more like January 21st.

Single occupant bathrooms should be the norm everywhere. Visiting a country where they do that, after being used to the garbage arrangements we have in the US, was fantastic. It was one item on a list of a thousand that made me think “so this is what it looks like when a society values human dignity more than an extra hundred bucks in a millionaire’s pocket!”
