They’re minors and he used their pictures without their parents’ permission, seemingly calling them “boys in girls’ sports.”
Republican Ted Cruz’s desperate search for trans targets in a hateful series of anti-trans attack ads directed at his Democratic opponent Colin Allred has landed the two-term Texas senator in hot water with the parents of two cisgender girls and their high school.
The teens appear in at least two fear-mongering ads attacking both the trans community and Allred, picturing them alongside former University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas and CeCé Telfer, a Jamaican-born sprinter and the first out trans woman to win an NCAA title.
I think this is a good example that free speech is not free consequences. The question is who carries the consequences. My guess is the two girls that may get mobbed at least until they graduate, maybe even longer.
Btw, I am pro free-speech, I just find it kind of sad that more often than not the consequences of free speech from people like Ted Cruz hit the people he’s speaking about.
Not an ounce of athleticism in Ted Cruz’s body.
Which isn’t a disqualifier for his position. But since it’s Ted fucking Cruz we’re talking about, it’s fair game. He might be the only person on the planet who looks less intimidating with a beard.
Maybe he should stay in his fucking lane. Hope you Texans can help him figure that out in ten days.
he’s starting a witch hunt
This is why we don’t want idiots like Ted Cruz in charge of what defining what gender your child is
Serious question to them: what about girls in boys’ x, y, z?
Sue him into the fucking ground.
I’m not a betting man, but I would put money on those girls now being harassed and picked on by their schoolmates, and wouldn’t be surprised to find out they and/or their family was harassed by adults, either. Their life has been essentially ruined by this fucking piece of shit. They have every right to recourse, and there’s only one thing these fucking gop bitches understand.
Sue. Him.
They fortunately live in a very left leaning suburb of Portland where the vast majority gives zero shits if someone is trans.
Well that’s good, at least, but that fucking bitch needs to be put in his place. I’ll say it again: sue the fuck out of him.
