    Its awful, but my very good (trans) friend received a transphobic Xmas card from her father and stepmother.

    Some people really are like that, apparently.

    That same year, they also gifted some pickaninny art to their son’s new wife, a black woman.

    Garbage, hateful people.

      I just read the article and you’re so right.

      Mace has been using transphobia to build her political career since before she was elected to Congress. In her first campaign for Congress, she made up a law that she claimed required “transgender equality in the military,” said that her Democratic opponent was responsible for it, and said that it would result in a Marine Corps base in her district getting shut down. It was all a lie – there was no such law and the Marine base is still in operation today – but it helped her secure her seat in Congress.

      In her second run for Congress, she accused her opponent of providing “SEX CHANGE SURGERY. PUBERTY BLOCKERS. GENDER CHANGING HORMONES. FOR CHILDREN?” in an ad, even though her opponent was a doctor who worked at a hospital that didn’t provide gender-affirming care for trans people at all. Her opponent was forced to resign from her job.

      The word rotted comes to mind.
