My guess is the person with fake gigantic breasts brought them to work in a school because she/they knew the social environment was ripe for it. It DID take some months for the school board to take action against the insanityOriginally Posted by bae
I do not like slippery slope arguements in general, but I have to say, they do have some merit sometimes in some situations.

A step in the right direction. The organization “ World Athletics” will not allow trans women who have gone through male puberty to compete against cis women. I do not know how influential this “world athletics” organization is so I don’t know if they will influence others in the same decision.
The UK is facing some of these issues head on, having had a bit more time with them.
I’m wondering what’s going happen to all those scholarships that are given to women only. Must be interesting that is no longer a female only space.
And now people like iris are fighting to deny a permit for an LGBTQ festival in Tennessee. The Republican asshat’s war on LGBTQ people is working. F%#k them and the ugly horses they rode in on.

That is interesting.
i do not like the Tennessee legislation against Drag in the public square because I think that kind of legislation is too broad, and drilling down to prohibit sexually provocative entertainment billed as “family friendly” is a moving target that can be used inappropriately. You can’t legislate common sense, and parents who are hellbent on showing the world their ally-wokeness by taking their kids to a sex show are just gonna be stupid.
I thought of you jp when I listened to an NPR Fresh Aire interview by Terry Gross of a drag show leader in Memphis. He was a nice young man, well spoken, a theater major (of course) and a now trans person. He spoke against issues in the new Tennessee law with some goid points but also putting forth the usual lies.
What were the lies that made me think of you? He said (paraphrasing) “ We were doing our own thing, staying in our own lane, when this law came down…” Lie #1 No, the raunchy sexually suggestive shows deliberately staged for children are something new.
Later he huffily said (paraphrasing) “ Of course we know how to be appropriate with a child audience.” Lie #2. Ugh guy, really? I have seen the footage of multiple drag shows with sexually provocative content billed as “family friendly” have you?
Then he mentioned his drag brunch show. Ha, okay, Daytime sleeze.
Legislation is not the answer. I want to promote common sense through social censure. Call out the lying for what it is.
And I will work to promote human decency through social censure. Calling out the assholes for who they are.
Apparently another good reason to be retired from a Missouri library, the Missouri state house voted to stop state funding of libraries. Gotta keep the people stupid so they keep voting for the Republic party…
Probably that makes it easier to make sure the "bad" books don't get into the "wrong" hands.
It’s silly, but it’s also just politics. The money will be restored in the budget by the Senate.
Public and school libraries are locally funded anyway. Money coming from the state is often in the form of torturously detailed specific grants and ya gotta jump through hoops to get it.
So it’s just lore performative BS from the party that doesn’t actually want to govern? SHOCKER!!!
you know, jp, it seems to me that a very high percentage of your politically driven posts on this forum are simply attacking people. Do you ever debate actual ideas? This makes it look as though, ummm, you are incapable of that.
Just a friendly heads up here.
