Charlotte - As always, you offer us wise words in contrast to the vitriol and fear-mongering from RethuggliKKKans like Rep. Mace and Speaker Johnson. (Just HOW does the Speaker plan to "enforce" rules such as the one he announced today, anyway? Panties police? Mandatory gene-testing for X and Y chromosomes before you can pee? And who will pay for all that foolishness?)

I find it fascinating that Christo-fascist Republicans claim that there are "only two" "biological" genders when biologists have actually discovered several verified -- and not uncommon -- genetic, psychological, and other "gender" variations in human genotypes. (You cannot base your "science" on the "evidence" in Genesis.)

I keep wondering: who are the real "perverts" in this situation? (My money is on the GOP, because they have fallen victim to a few modern heresies that have led them down this and other foolish garden paths.)

As an active, practicing Episcopalian, I can appreciate that the Bible and science offer different views of the same amazing universe and their respective "truths" do not conflict because I do not accept the triple heresies of a) biblical literalism, b) biblical inerrancy, and c) American exceptionalism. (The first two errors permit the third to exist as well as its close cousin, Christo-fascism.)

I wish Sarah McBride all the best. She earned the right to represent the good people of her district in Delaware and she's certainly off to a great start with her statements in response to the bathroom bullies.
