They're not just trying to drive trans people out of public life through bathroom bans & sports bans, they're also trying to make trans people illegal on the Internet.

Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now
