Wasting thousands of dollars to turn their campuses into trashy tent-cities and ultimately accomplish nothing? They probably go to their parent’s upper-class homes at night to sleep, and stop for artisanal coffees on their way back to protesting in the morning.

Performative junk.

Fox didn’t. Smartmatic isn’t interested in actual justice or proving any points to America. They just want to get paid.

I honestly don’t know how I feel about this. If my kid (which I do have one) was trying to pass as another gender in school, but not home, I would want to know. It’s generally not good for kids to keep big secrets like this from the people looking out for them. That’s how they end up getting in to trouble in life.

At the same time, I’m not the kind of parent that wouldn’t support my kid through such an issue. I understand it could be dangerous for some kids to be outted to their parents, but I don’t know that we should be governing based on the worst possible outcomes, when keeping the secret could also be dangerous to some.

It is telling to me that most of the supporters that showed up had no skin in the game. I don’t think this specific issue is as cut-and-dry as it appears at first. My mind has certainly changed on it the more I think about it.
