@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 Or intact men are in high school and college girls' locker rooms? I don't care about the "wedge issue". I do care about the girls

@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.

@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.

@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?

@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 You should know me well enough to know I am not easily tricked. I think you are wrong on this issue, but I won't insult you by implying that you've been tricked.

@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 Men in women’s prisons endangering woman prisoners. More Children being “transitioned” without parent’s consent or knowledge. Non-citizens voting in local and State elections.

@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 If (when) it passes, here are some possible disastrous outcomes: More men in girl’s locker rooms. More men competing against girls, taking scholarships and medals from girls. More injured girls resulting from competing against men with unfair biological advantages.

@jlp I am sure it will pass, but it will be a disaster for New York. Good luck.

@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.

@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.

@jlp @JackPosobiec I don't want to speak for @JackPosobiec but I guess the point is the hypocrisy. If you are hired because of your race or gender you shouldn't be surprised or angry when someone points it out.

If DEI is a good thing, why are they upset when you call someone a DEI hire?
