The GOP Doesn’t Want to Punish Trans People—It Wants to Eradicate Them

Jump

  • “children should be encouraged in their early years to adopt dextrality…in order to become better equipped to live in our right-sided world”.

    I hate the obvious parallels here.

  • I'm going to assume you don't have any form of insurance? Can't predict if you'll need it, after all.

  • Might be obvious, but just to underscore it - if a conservative ever starts spouting nonsense about how "there wasn't no transgenders when we was kids" - yes there were, they just didn't know, and things like this are why

    • Ok.

  • Anyone who complains about those on disability mooching off the government should thank their lucky stars that they have no idea what they're talking about.

  • I didn't realize it made a difference. I've had a few different insurances and it's always been covered to some extent if it's in-network. Never been asked to prove it was necessary.

  • I'm super for real, and now that you mention it, wouldn't be surprised if I found out the book was written while on drugs.

  • The book is incredible and I heartily recommend everyone read it just for how batshit insane it is. Here's a taste:

    ::: spoiler Book Spoilers In the book, the speech during the March on Washington doesn't happen. Instead, Forrest joins the march and is egged into throwing his Medal of Honor away in protest. It hits a senator and he's arrested. He is offered a deal to join NASA to avoid jail time. He is sent into space with a monkey and female astronaut. The monkey pees on the controls and they land in the rainforest. They're captured by natives. When rescue comes the woman decides to stay, and it's implied it's because she's screwing the natives.

    He has a stint as a Professional Wrestler and The Creature from Black Lagoon.

    Also, Bubba doesn't die. ::: spoiler

    It's total insanity. Full of blue humor and raunchy sex. Is it good? Not particularly. Is it interesting? Absolutely.

    Again, strongly recommend everyone read it. It truly is a trip.
