This thread is all about the transphobes getting on their moral high horse and being able to openly display their bigotry in ways that wouldn’t be allowed otherwise. There are _always_ going to be extreme examples of things that happen. The bigots will capitalise on those extremes. Because they’ve got nothing else.

This thread, about a single teacher in a single school somewhere in Canada that apparently dresses in a way that the school board doesn’t seem overly concerned about, has now generated nearly twice as many responses as this thread about the Republican war on transgender people.

> Do we have an omnibus thread for Republicans’ war on transgender people yet? If not, let me start one with this. Apparently even full-grown adults can’t be trusted to make the decision to transition in Florida. At least, not if they’re poor.

That thread is about something that is actually important. This thread? Not so much. It’s a distraction. A hand-wavy exercise in propaganda.

There really is nothing more to this story. You can keep digging deeper if you like. But you aren’t going to find anything more than has been presented in this thread.

There are literally people that don’t want transgender people to exist. I’m much more worried about them than a single teacher at a shop class in a school I’ve never heard of.
