I don't honestly care about whether people offer them or not. It's the implications of a blanket policy banning it that worries me. Pronouns are an issue the right has stirred up against the left and is way out of proportion to it

A person who has not gone through a confirmation process is running an agency not provided for by Congress and not vetted for security clearances which is taking actions that violate employment laws and union protections. That is what we

When I say I use they/them pronouns, I am telling you I am non-binary and am not a man or a woman. If you go around saying he or she, you're telling me you don't care enough to treat me respectfully. Just the same as if I sai

there's more nuance to sport than that. pre-puberty is not the same as college athletics. I'm not going to deep dive all the flawed logic around removing trans people from sport. internet search is there for you. as to immigration

You don't think targeting trans folks and immigrants with unconstitutional executive orders isn't an embrace of fascism?

The voters are for the most part uninformed, bordering on flat out ignorant. I feel safe in saying the experts who solve problems like this do know better than voters.

which has historically been used to discriminate again black voters. that's why there's pushback against it even tho it may be a valid idea. in states that do have voter id, they generally make it hard to impossible to get one for

as i said in another comment... anyone voting Republican is voting to harm me, my friends, and people like me by removing our bodily autonomy and force us from public life... that's pretty evil
