Guns versus Dresses

There’s a railroad train of legislation across many states targeting trans (broad-stroke trans) activities, like Drag Queen Story Hour. Why? Nobody knows. There are general “common sense” bias-inspired reasons for it which make little sense. Here’s the kicker: we’re paying for this legislation.

That’s right. We’re paying for legislation that prohibits people from wearing certain clothes. Because apparently, what matters more than the fact that the number one cause of death for children right now is guns, is that some people like to cross-dress. This fear-driven legislation is touted by the entertainment company Fox News. Why?

Again, nobody knows. One thing we do know is that while our congresspeople are writing laws around trans, they are not writing laws around gun control. So the optics are very much: don’t be trans, but shoot who you want (to paraphrase of course). We must do better!
