All the wannabe genital inspectors are touching themselves with anticipation at the glorious pedophilic opportunities unleashed by this law. Republicans extorting sexual favors for bathroom access is sure to be next

I hope people are aware that inclusion programs specifically include efforts to bring disabled people into the mainstream. But I guess that has “no place” in Florida institutions. Once again, cruelty is the point.

Yes the Fair Housing act passed in 1968, and in 1970 my grandmother, who worked as a property manager in a. predominantly. Jewish apartment complex in Baltimore, told me how she had been trained to keep Black people who viewed apartments from getting them, and how ashamed she was that she had to do it. There weren't many job opportunities for 66-year old women at the time.

Fellow Wonks, please share this YWA podcast episode, with any and everyone you know who is persuadable about the terrible treatment, in the media, especially NYT, being visited upon trans people, in this country.

Somehow, the host, and her guest inject humor and laughter, into this situation.

It’s very compelling and enjoyable ❤️
