Good! Republicans need to get over their obsession with trans children's genitals.
The 11 year old girl the judge sided with is one of the "little girls being uncomfortable with it".
I wish I could boost this again
I got you.

Right click "new private window".
Let's not advocate for vote manipulation.
Can you really say that was advocating?
I didn't Nathaniel Demerest anyone into wishing they could do things.
I just told a person how they could do a thing they're already expressed a wish to do.
"I just told them a good place to rob and gave them a gun to do it, officer, I didn't do anything wrong!"
I told no one to do any thing.
If a person walks up to you and says, "I wish I could buy some cocaine!" it's not entrapment to tell them there's a dude who sells it in the park.
Whatever goes on in that park is between the people doing it.
You can tell a person their wishes can come true and not be encouraging them to peruse them.
I mean, people are responsible for their own actions, of course. But that's not limited to direct actions.
Why is telling an addict where to get more of something they're addicted to (and potentially killing them) not a bad thing in your mind? Do you feel you bear no responsibility in your own actions?
Just because you don't hold their hand the whole time doesn't mean you have no affect on their decision making process.
Lol, good one.
