Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Political bullshit is all it is. Why is this an issue all of a sudden? Who cares? If you don't want your children to see one, don't go. Where are all these kids that are going to drag shows unsupervised or without parental permission?
Pretty hard to do when it happens with a "guest" at a public school.
A man wearing a dress or makeup isn't sexual. In republicans mind it is though wink wink
Maybe more than two sources exist for this? Since you bet your ass if it happened it makes headlines. Surely if it's a concern you can name 10 times it happened?
In a world where the tiniest things can't happen at school without parental consent, I have to conclude you're a fucking lying piece of shit who is just outraged that trans people continue to exist.
Even native American tribes 1000+ years ago acknowledged trans people and guess what, they didn't do every goddamned thing possible to coax them into suicide like your ilk is intent on doing. Fuck every person who can't leave trans people alone. If you had a shred of decency you'd just shut the goddamned fuck up.
