Exactly. This is the way to respond. Call out the creepiness of bathroom policing. Call out the creepiness in general and the fact that some of them talk about following people into restrooms to harass or even attack people they suspect of being trans. Its not okay.

The irony of spending millions to tell people that the people obsessed with who is in the bathroom are actually the ones making the bathroom creepy. The projection is reaching industrial levels.

This is the dialogue the dems need to have because it *is* the natural consequence of these policies. Dems need to say "they want a judge at every volleyball game inspecting genitals" because its true!

Good on them. I will once again note that even moderate liberal groups have concluded that ceding trans and their families’ rights on the basis of lies and malicious intent is *bad politics* on top of being morally wrong. Time for Dems to go on the offensive and obliterate this false narrative.

About time. But it REALLY peeves me they are not doing it out of moral courage, but only because they believe it will buy them votes. The good new is that means the tide of public opinion is shifting and people are not ok with this kind of cruelty to trans folk. That is a good thing!

An ad like this highlights the depravity of American society. It isn't hyperbole, the prez of the US is a fucking pedophile that the entire R party protects and allows to do what he wants. They further their pedo fetish with an open obsession with children's genitals even focused on adult genitals.

Republicans have gotten *super weird* about trans stuff. This type of ad writes itself. The trick is just to reject the plainly bad faith Republican framing of the issue and use a little common sense (which is sadly something Democrats struggle to do with many issues).

I'm amazed and depressed that the leadership of the Democratic Party (as a whole) has failed to aggressively pursue the "Republicans are creepy" line of attack. I mean, they are. Really, really, really creepy.

In the last couple yrs my response to anyone wanting to do trans panic abt kids is this: “So tell me how many hrs a day do you spend thinking about children’s penises and vaginas?” -I always say the anatomical words and often follow up with “all day kids genitals in your brain, creepy&gross”
