    My wife works with a lady who has a prominent mustache. She is cis, she just has facial hair like some women do and she doesn’t shave it off all the time because fuck that, she doesn’t have to.

    I can’t imagine the shit she gets all the time.

    This is the effect they want. It’s more oppression. On top of trans people it’s women as well. Too good? Too buff? “Gotta be trans”

      These girls don’t even look especially masculine! This was a hit job.

      A Cruz campaign spokesperson responded by saying the photo “features a female athlete who spoke out against boys playing in girls’ sports after participating in a track meet where a biological male beat female athletes and impacted individual and team medal results” but didn’t address the campaign labeling the young women as “trans”boys.”

      They aren’t even addressing the fact that the photo shows two girls, not one. So which one is this teenage girl who is such a horrible ally to trans people that you decided to demonize her in this ad and which is the one you just didn’t bother cropping out?

      Gender policing is about enforcing rigid, misogynist gender roles.

      At the rate they’re going they’re just going to declare that women’s sports are trans and then ban all women from them.

    “Won’t someone think of the children!”

    “So you’ll apologize to the teenage girls you attacked, misgendered, and whose likenesses you used without permission?”

    The man is a fucking ghoul.

    If he’s going to spread baseless rumors about people, then he should be scrutinized too. Maybe attention should be drawn to the fact that Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer. Or Ted Cruz was a notorious creep on campus. Or if we want a new one, how about… Ted Cruz likes jerking off to images of JD Vance fucking couches.

      I heard a rumor that Ted Cruz pisses his pants on purpose because he likes the warm feeling between his legs.

    Ted Cruz will endanger your children for political points. He will assign a label to them and point his posse at them. He is a dangerous man, and the parents of those girls ought to press charges. Cruz is not unaware of the hateful mob he’s riled up in Texas, who would be eager to take action against any supposed trans children; this was an intentional effort to put the lives of Texan children in danger, full stop.
