Unfun fact: The same “fairness and safety” language was used to keep black people out of sports.

as they say, transphobia is just recycled homophobia, which is just recycled racism.

Rob Sand sucks. Unfortunately, I don’t think it matters. I’ll bet Iowa goes full fascist by a 10 point margin. That state is gerrymandered and ignorant. Every chance they’ve gotten, they kill education and they pollute they environment (they’ve subsidized the poisons that get put into the water).
