The denial of reality in this article is such doubling down.

"Mace shamelessly claims to be afraid of McBride. "I know how vulnerable women and girls are in private spaces, so I'm absolutely 100% going to stand in the way of any man who wants to be in a women's restroom," she said, lying about McBride's gender."

A link occurs in the phrase "lying about McBride's gender" First of all, the author, Amanda Marcotte, who is a TRA, uses gender in some tricky ways. If she is using gender as meaning sex, it means she believes TWAW in the sense of those TRA who now claim they are biological females. If she means gender identity, she is claiming that someone whose sex is male is not a man, because the term man or woman is really based on gender identity not sex. But Mace is not lying, McBride is a man by the definition we used up until less than 20 yrs ago.

"Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is going along with the abuse. Less than a day after initially saying he wanted to "treat all persons with dignity and respect," he switched to attacking McBride by saying, "a man cannot become a woman." " How is it attacking to say a man cannot become a woman? It is reality. To see it as an attack is to deny the reality of sex.

"Anti-trans bigots love "debating" the bodies and biological functions of their targets. Their language is often focused on the scatological, where they shamelessly talk about what they believe to be the genital shapes, chromosomal make-up, and sexual habits of their victims, usually with no actual evidence to go on. This prurience is wrapped in moralizing language, such as Mace declaring, "I'm not going to stand for a man, you know, someone with a penis, in the women's locker room." The real purpose is to insinuate that this person doesn't deserve the basic presumption of privacy. Mace certainly knows there will never be a national news cycle in which people discuss what her genitals might look like."

"no actual evidence to go on"? Really? McBride is male. At one time or currently he has/had a penis. Males do except in some dsd. This description is not against privacy, it is a description of biological fact. And besides his public statements, humans are pretty good at identifying sex. "Mace certainly knows there will never be a national news cycle in which people discuss what her genitals might look like." Seriously-she doesn't think this is not discussed about women? She also talks about Libs of Tik Tok going after innocent people who meant their online posts to go out to only close friends getting unfair public dissemination. Refers to witch hunts. Compares this to gamergate.

The media has far less reason to reconsider their stance on TRA. Unlike the Dem party, who saw the consequences in loss of votes & voters; the media can continue depending on those whose money supports them-esp the TRA money backers.
