Sorry not sorry, y’all. I will never ever never never ever support anything that diminishes trans rights - even if it’s just one tenth of one percent of their rights. Never. Because once you forfeit one tenth of one percent, that becomes 10%, then 100%. Every. Time.

For those keeping score at home, Youngkin can not run for re-election so politically expedient for him to stay aligned with the party as he no doubt plans a future run for higher office. TL;DR: he’s a coward.

AP could have been cowardly and rolled over for Trump.
“We had to comply or we’d lose [funding/access/privileges]” like so many orgs are doing.
It would have been easy for them to say “gulf of America”
But it never stops there.
They got the memo. Good job AP.
