โ™ฌ Don't I let you wash the car on Sunday?

Ain't I a-gonna take you fishin' with me someday?
A man can't love a woman more than that ... โ™ฌ

The generic Nat in this cartoon should be Barnaby ...

Poor Will Shackel. Seems someone at the Australian Conservation Foundation drew a caricature of the young fella affectionately known as Fallout Boy.*

You're 19, Will. You put yourself out there (with lots of support from the usual suspects, I admit). You made your bed.

Electorally it's big for them, in the kind of seats they currently hold.

@zoedaniel.bsky.social could have another crack at Goldstein, if she's inclined.

Forms "demanding pronouns", which are read/filled in by ๐’‘๐’‚๐’“๐’†๐’๐’•๐’”, will somehow leave 4-year-old kids "mixed up" in later life, noted psychologist Peta Credlin writes.

Such are the 'traumatic impacts' of "trans activism".
What kind of trauma made Credlin who she is?

Delaware-incorporated #NewsCorpse is officially in our corner. So I guess, from this moment, they'll stop promoting whatever Trump wants ... ๐Ÿ‘€

"Trans prisoner assaults other women".
Easily fixed, if true, by isolating the offender/minimising risk.

Or, you could make it a culture wars issue, stick it on page one ๐Ÿ‘‡ and pressure the govt to put all trans women in male prison - for them, a living hell.

Good thinking, #NewsCorpse.
