And they're all (presumably cisgender) men. To make sure that no woman who was assigned male at birth enters the ladies' restroom, armed men are guarding the door.
Just why, Texas? Why?

While I wouldn't in any way endorse that action, there have been times when I've wanted to use brute force to get to the head of the restroom line!

What are they going to do when a trans man enters the ladies' room? I mean, that's following the letter of the law, right?
"Sorry, we can't deal with crime or with dangerous drivers. We're too busy making sure everyone in the ladies' room looks sufficiently girly."

It's the clearest demonstration yet of Trump's mental decline. The guy is effectively incapacitated. So one wonders just WTF is acting as chief executive--or if it's just one big sandbox full of toxic waste.

It's terrifying. RFK Jr. is an outright enemy of people with disabilities of any kind. Worse, he's the nephew of Rosemary Kennedy, who had intellectual disabilities--and of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who founded the Special Olympics.

She wanted faculty to teach her—what? How would she be equipped to tell?
It’s great for people to speak up, but not when they first refuse to sit down and listen.

Seriously. Those guys may have been tough as nails when it mattered, but they were very, very happy to come home and be done with war for good. The ones in my family would have found these "alpha males" obnoxious.

Oh, no. I'm so sorry you and your son went through this.
Adolescence is tough and mental health issues are tougher. I'm relieved that he was found and is getting the care he needs. Best wishes.

Oh, it will. It will remind people of his greed, his cruelty, his self-aggrandizement, and his total incomprehension of the purpose of his job.
I hope to live to see that eyesore torn down.
