I'd argue these days are as much(if not more)of a threat to life for some,and a threat to so much more in the US/abroad, yet the practice fell outta favor w/MediaCFOs lately.
Shocker.
If we should ALL know stuff, please and thanks in advance-

Marco Rubio lines up suspicious immigrant students to personally check sex to see if sex is correct on passport and said ''We have to enforce the law we can't have eleven Transgender athletes competing against 500,000 NCAA athlete's, that is a bridge too far we have ten already for Christ sakes''

I wonder what they'll do when they are faced with someone who was born intersex? The original non-binary.

It is a real thing, and there must be someone who will have that.

Of course, I hope it makes the administration explode.
