    It’s also a classic liberal thing. We’re not going to defund the police or hold bad cops to account, but gosh darnit, when they do arrest you for bullshit reasons, they’ll be forced to use the right pronouns!

    Not that I’m against it, but it’s just dicking around in the margins instead of fixing the big issues.

        Yeah well the world is burning and none of us can stop that. Might as well make things more comfortable before Mad Max hellscape. Give us fond memories when we are bleeding out from the wrath of Skull Crusher and his jagged sword.

      Yeah that said it is a real problem. Cops are notorious for misgendering victims and culprits alike. Turns out a bunch of violent shitheads who lean pretty far right wing are often transphobic
