It increases the chance of someone coming around, but that kinda depends on the amount of anti-trans indoctrination the person has absorbed and how open said individual is to new information.

A county in Georgia spent nearly $1.2 million in a years-long legal battle to deny a local sheriff’s deputy a healthcare plan that would cover gender-affirming care, citing the cost of the plan. But by one estimate, the change to the county’s health insurance would have cost a fraction of what it paid a private law firm.

According to a ProPublica report, an expert hired by Sgt. Anna Lange’s attorneys said that a healthcare plan that included transition-related care would have only cost Houston County about $10,000 per year, adding about 0.1% to the cost of all claims. Instead, the county spent nearly three times its annual physical and mental health budget to fight Lange in federal court.

Because hate and stupidity always go together.

An anti-trans activist is coming to NZ after the rally she was at in Melbourne included her supporters throwing Nazi salutes and clashing with counter-protestors

I wonder what it's like to base your whole life around traveling from country to country so you can preach hate against a minority group.

Spreading fear and hate is a good way to make money, so her life is probably QUITE comfortable, and if she has sociopathic tendencies or is extremely convicted in her beliefs, she probably doesn't even have a guilty conscious about it.

I wonder what's it's like to not be on her payroll and pay out of your own pocket to follow her around so you can scream about how much you hate certain people with a bunch of other equally-petty shitheels.
 

wonko the sane?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

If it's any consolation: the guy who sponsored the bill has been guilty of numerous crimes related to covid funding including a bunch of different kinds of fraud and is facing 35 years in jail.

Does nothing to stop the horror, but a side order of schadenfreude is never remiss.

If anyone's wondering what happened at the event, 1) Nazis turned up to support her. SURPRISE! 2) a large amount of counter-protesters also turned up, decorating the area with pro-trans slogans, and crowding her out of the venue when she tried to hold her rally. Also at one point she was drenched with tomato soup.

The corresponding event in Wellington may or may not be cancelled.

Not so sure the women of New Zealand feel the same way and she must not have visited anywhere with a traditionalist Muslim or Christian government.

"This Book is Gay" is coming off the shelves at Northwest Junior High and other Iowa City Community School District libraries following a Twitter blast aimed at the Coralville school that administrators believe was linked to a pair of bomb threats.
