It’s about damn time. AOC is a hero. She’s one of the best out there, fighting daily against Trump’s fascist bullshit.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

There appears to be a false statement made in the article: "about a transgender girl who sexually assaulted two girls in the women’s bathroom at two different high schools". The student in question sexually assaulted one student in one school in a bathroom, AND according to court proceedings abducted another girl in another school and forced her into a classroom (not a bathroom) where he forcibly touched her (either on or under her shirt). From an online report: "Loudoun County Juvenile and D…

And a careful examination of the facts of the case leaves little question that Walsh misrepresents them.

No he didn’t. The kid used claims of gender fluidity to gain access to the bathroom in the first case (and he was wearing a skirt) where he raped a girl. The school system covered it up because their new policy gave him a legal right to go into the girls’ bathroom. They moved him to another school quietly and another girl was assaulted there - something that should never have happened, and wouldn’t have, if they acknowledged the case and booted the rapist from regular high schools as they do ot…

I think a careful comparison of Walsh's transcript with the facts of the case, as you've correctly summarized them, would reveal that he at least downplays some of the facts that don't entirely support the conclusion that the crime was sexual assault, committed by an adolescent who apparently took advantage of a rather ill-defined bathroom policy to have a pre-arranged consensual liaison with a female student, rather than a clear case of a trans-identified male using the policy to further a pattern of transgender predatory practice. And clearly the school system was at fault. The case is egregious enough based on the actual facts. I don't think the GC cause (which I wholeheartedly embrace) is furthered by misrepresenting facts to slant a story for the sake of generating outrage.
