Trump administration plans on holding trans hate days in schools with far-right activists

[Trump Is A Maoist]

This is dumb

When you've lost even Pres Mike on anti-trans stuff, you should know you're in the wrong.

At this point, they are flirting with the opposite extreme of the "you keep going on about a man in a dress while the economy weakens" vibe that sunk 2024 Dems.  Take the win on this and on DEI and move on.  Average people voted for you because they don't want to have to think about race and gender on a daily basis.

"Average people" may have voted for them for this reason (not sure I agree with this, but for the sake of argument let's assume it) but their base absolutely wants as much anti-trans action out of this administration as they can get. They are ravenous, and in many cases, bloodthirsty beasts on this topic.

Lol, I remember when some homophobes shouted slurs and threw water balloons at me from moving pickup trucks when I was 12.

I was out with my brother to collect frogs and put them into a bucket. We wanted to see how many frogs we could find.

I was the straight one.

50 years from now, today's Republicans will be viewed as vile and loathsome creatures.

You say that as if they aren't right now.

This is dumb

Honest question.

Why do you think this is dumb?

I think it is dumb and horrible because it is intended to make a group of people who have harmed no one feel like there's something wrong with them.

Linda McMahon’s Department of Education is reportedly observing the day by convening a round table of people who have detransitioned along with “experts”, a source tells me.

This is dumb. The Secretary of Education doesn't need to be talking with a round table of people why they transitioned or detransitioned. Waste of time and money. She has more important things to do.

This is a seperate issue from public accomandation for sports or restrooms.

And in other related news, a hearing gets out of control:

Pathetically, Congresswoman Keith Self is called out.

Really glad to see several Democrats responding forcefully to this crap.

Keating is a 70 year old member of the New Democrat Coalition. Hardly some progressive firebrand. But he knows common decency and respect which is increasingly only advocated by one party in American politics.

So it is only dumb because trans people are uncommon and this will mostly be a waste of momey, and not because it is effectively just making children feel bad for who they are?

Not sports or restrooms. Just this.

How on earth did you get any of this? Rather someone is trans is a private matter and not the business of the secretary of education

Nor do I think its the business of the SoE to celebrate anyone detransitioning or transitioning

"Actually, it's about kids' safety in schools" is the new "Actually, it's about ethics in games journalism"

I was trying to guage if you were capable of empathy towards kids who are being targeted and ostracized by the government despite having done nothing wrong.
