"The Missouri bill, like the rest of them, protects nobody. It stigmatizes queer families, restigmatizes queer kids, and conflates 'trans people exist' with 'you must go be trans.'”
When you hear Marjorie Taylor Green on 60 minutes, she conflates sexuality with gender. They just don't get it. An because of that ignorance, they want to control it. It's simply more fear of The Other.

One complaint, riffing on an off hand comment in the interview: it’s long past time everyone abandons the outdated belief that #anthropolgy is about going to the field and studying #theOther, while #sociology is about studying #theSelf (or worse, the #modern ).
