So this take is spreading around a lot, and I want to put a little caution.

The NDAA is a bill that passes yearly, only applies to this year.

The “definition of sex” applies only to athletics and only to military cadets, so not other athletes.

It is still a bad bill, for many reasons.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.

Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

I'm a proud mother. Whether I'm walking my son to school or reading him a bedtime story, I do everything to make sure he grows up loved and cared for.

And for the sponsor of the drag ban to say that my existence is a fetish is false & cruel.

I'm glad we were able to defeat this hateful bill today.

It sets out one standard for cis people that requires intent, and another for trans people that does not.
