Dear motherfucker, what are you going to do about those of us who feel threatened by the American Flag?
Reading this article, I have never in my nearly fifty years of life witnessed anything like this. Jackson is calling to detain all transgender people. Loomer is calling to designate transgender people terrorists.
These people - I'll say all conservatives - are so pathetic and dysfunctional that they're unable to observe reality and deal with it in a responsible manner. Instead, they choose to turn something difficult or uncomfortable into an enemy or a cancer and deal with things as an immature child would - just stomp on it.
Also, who the fuck is actually threatened by trans people? Last I checked they were less than 1% of the population.
I bet most of these chucklefucks have never even met one.
