Every liberal or so called progressive politician attacking trans people is doing so because they want to. Not because it's popular. Not because it wins elections. Not even because it's a big issue facing cis women in sports. They're choosing to do it because they're bigots

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

15-19 yo children not having babies should be being celebrated. Teen pregnancy rates bottoming out means that the kids are learning and growing rather than being a parent. I know the rates are also about white people mostly but this should be a huge victory based on the messaging in the 90s.

Didn't know this until today but Dolly Parton had a transsexual man named Jason Pirro work as her Hollywood chauffeur in the 1980s, per an interview he gave to The Sun in 1990. "Dolly has been good to me...Dolly knows all about me."
SEXY SECRETS OF DOILY PARTON'S 
UMO DRIVER-HE USED TO BE A SHE 
DOLLY PARTON is being chauffeured around 
Hollywood by a 300-lb. transsexual who 
has had an operation to change from a 
woman into a ian. The country queen 
shares 44-year-old Jason Pirro's secret" 
and has promised to help the obese, 
tuxedo-outfitted driver attain his goal 
to become a movie director. 
"Dolly has been good to me," Jason told 
STAR. "I'm not real coafortable talking 
about ayself. Dolly knows all about me 
and is a very nice lady. "Whenever Dolly 
coaes into Hollywood for a aeeting, or 
for business, or for filaing, or just 
staying here, she calls ae and I drive 
her around." 
Court papers obtained by STAR show Pirro 
legally changed his naae froa Susan Ann 
to Jason in 198B because of "sex-
reassignaent.* Jason underwent a sex-
change operation in 1982. 
Jason, who has a beard and wears his 
thinning reddish-brown hair in a 
ponytaiI, caae to Hollywood 10 years ago. 
At the time, he was taking hormone 
tablets and dressing as a «an. He got a 
job as a lino driver. 
Dolly has said that there's nothing wrong 
with transsexuals. "If I were a nan I'd 
be a drag queen," she admits. "1 enjoy 
being a trashy dresser and 1 love gaudy 
things. I love to play with hair and 
makeup." 
Jason studied theater as a coed at 
Syracuse University, but after eight 
years at college. left without 
graduating. Despite chat, Jason has a 
genius-level I.Q. of 144. 
A fasily friend says Susan was in her aid -
30's when she decided to have doctors 
transfora her into a ian. "Jason has 
tried to sake the family feel comfortable 
with the situation. Even by the time he 
started to grow facial hair and his voice 
was getting deeper, if we'd slip and call 
him Susie, he'd just hug us and say, 
'That's OK." 
"He's a loving warm, caring human being. 
He teaches transcendental meditation. He 
has never had an enemy. People just take 
a liking to him. He has that …
