Life plays the same lovely and agonizing joke on all of us

@MikeLaPorte Hahah. Had to do it :)

[jlp @jlp]

@MikeLaPorte Bathrooms and locker rooms were used as scare tactics when people were fighting for gay rights. Also going straight from because they’re trans they’re going to harm people is wild.

[jlp @jlp]

@MikeLaPorte These magical locker rooms aren’t the only place where people can be harmed. There is a real world where people are and I feel like if we spent our time working on fixing this real, material issues you would get the outcome you want—saving the children.

[jlp @jlp]

@MikeLaPorte You know women can transition to men right? Are you worried about the boys? Very specifically gendered, which is odd.

Are you worried about hazing? School shootings? Hetero Sexual assault?

I just don’t get why this is the place to hang your hat.

[jlp @jlp]

@MikeLaPorte So the safety of children is the priority? There’s another issue that affects a larger percentage of students. And it is actually happening. Think we can work on school shootings?

[jlp @jlp]

@MikeLaPorte It’s definitely not an insult.

There are 40 trans athletes in high school sports. That is .0000008% of the school population, yet it has become cause célèbre on the right. Why? Because it’s a wedge issue.

[jlp @jlp]

@MikeLaPorte This rhetoric reminds me a lot of the homophobic rhetoric when people were fighting for gay rights 50 years ago. Some of it is word for word unfortunately. It’s sad that you’ve been tricked into thinking that equal rights protections are a bad thing.

[jlp @jlp]

@MikeLaPorte How about women in men’s locker rooms? Or women taking medals from boys? You know trans people go in both directions right?

[jlp @jlp]

@MikeLaPorte What elements?

[jlp @jlp]

@MikeLaPorte What’s the disaster?

[jlp @jlp]

@nypost @MikeLaPorte The stock is up since then. Guess it was a bad trade.

[jlp @jlp]

@MikeLaPorte Walz was 3% the day before he got chosen. These are thin markets, I wouldn’t look at prediction markets until a few days before the election.

[jlp @jlp]

@MikeLaPorte As someone who drives in New York, I disagree.

@Jillie_Alexis @MikeLaPorte Just trying to keep up with kid rock and hulk hogan 🤷‍♂️

[jlp @jlp]

@MikeLaPorte It’s clear to me 🤷‍♂️

[jlp @jlp]

@MikeLaPorte @JackPosobiec Because when it’s used, especially by reactionaries, it is used pejoratively. You weren’t in the hiring process why would you assume you know why someone was hired? And it seems like it’s only said about black people and women. Odd.
