If a pilot enjoys anthropomorphised animals and isn't wearing a fursuit, it's the same as that one anti-racist joke, "What do you call a Black man flying a plane?" I dunno, what? "A pilot, you racist fuck." A guy flying a plane who likes furry culture (and/or is a furry) is still a pilot. Just like a senator who supports a paedophile president is still a paedophile enabler.

Not sure what that has to do with trans people/trans kids, but if you're from the same political party as the president and you're not disavowing his extracurricular activities, clean up your own house before throwing stones at another.

The only real question left is whether Coach Tuberville's fursona is a majestic Bald Eagle, or an Auburn Tiger....
