After all this time, I guess we really DO negotiate with terrorists

Georgia school district reverses transgender-friendly bathroom policy after death threats

They hate us for our freedom!

Since the referent of "they" is unclear and that of "us" seems to be "the US", I can confidently assert that yes, they do hate us for our freedom. They're from places where having the freedom to swing your arm through someone's face is generally considered a bad thing on account of how many broken noses that freedom results in!

also I feel so sorry for all the trans kids in that school who thought they might almost be safe at school.

They in this case is the transphobic jerks who threaten kids, and us is people who think threatening kids is bad.

*considers whose attitudes tend to prevail in the US*

Close enough

Meanwhile in Regina, Saskatchewan...fewer threats that I know of, but a lot more argument about the wording and the methods. This being about Pride, rather than washrooms, but I expect discussions about those are going on in the background.

What happened to the option of investigating, hunting down, arresting and charging the terrorists?

Or perhaps it's the cops who are the terrorists? I woudn't be surprised.

Fuckers.

I cannot imagine a more cowardly bunch of bullies threatening children for wanting to pee and poop in safety and comfort.

We have almost zero instances of trans people harming others - but overwhelming evidence that trans people *get hurt* for merely existing.

I hope the cops go after those terrorists - because by definition, that's what they are.

They certainly do. Because they don't believe anyone but them should be allowed to have freedoms, and that anyone who wants freedoms should have to become them.
