This is exactly the kind of article my local Mom for Liberty WONβT believe: a trans journalist writing about her own experience.
Itβs the same arrogance of white conservatives who tell Black Americans that anti-racism policies are the REAL racism, theyβre just too stupid to see it.
Itβs wrong.

My lesbian mothers-in-law would not believe my trans daughter was a girl because she βliked boy thingsβ and βacted like a boy.β
If I had a cis girl and ever implied she was not a girl or less valid as a girl for these same reasons, they would have bitten my head off.

Logic is NOT their strong point!
Remember: hate isnβt logical.
You can rarely βreasonβ someone out of hate. Itβs an emotional reaction that needs to be offset by someone with whom they have an emotional connection.
The rest of us just need to know that their hate is WRONG.

Politics at Catholic University AND Hoover Institution! A two-fer!
Burke would think this argument a total logic fail.
I would argue that platforming such stupid, self-absorbed opinions as Very Serious Thoughts is part of what is destroying society, but Iβm not a conservative man, so who cares?

Itβs one of the easiest things to game if you want to dabble in a little wage theft. And they are
fundamentally anti-labor. I get why people feel morally obligated to do them but itβs not great.

This is such a critical point, and itβs something Iβve tried to highlight in my reporting.
The right-wing groups and operatives who politicized COVID have also been pushing anti-trans shit. Moms for Liberty is a classic example.
Itβs helped create new GOP voters/activists.

I still cannot get over how the junk βscienceβ of the people who downplayed COVID-19 and opposed the vax paved the way for rampant transphobia and widespread disinformation. My community deeply fractured, some crunchy moms got radicalized, and nothing has been the same.

It's kinda wild how the US Dept of Labor fully understands farmers are business owners & management. (That's how farmers are classed in labor stats.)
But somehow, "Farmers own a business & property, that means we're mgmt!" is still total news to lots of the folks who Care A Lot About Labor. π€·ββοΈ

This is not what the Founders intended.
Republicans "supposedly worship at the cult of the Founders," but they don't "venerate the Foundersβ beliefs and democratic principles"
they "project their contemporaneous views backwards onto men who have been dead for centuries" tell em @adamserwer.bsky.social
