What in the hell is happening? It’s like the more we progress socially the more the religious zealots get to go fucking crazy.
let’s not go crazy here, this story is from Utah. Utah is basically full of religious zealots and has absolutely not progressed socially in the last two decades outside of maybe Salt Lake City.
You gotta remember, there are two Americas. Rural America is closer to a fundamentalist country in the Middle East or Africa.
Like most of the time when these states come up, I feel obligated to note that not only are there over half a million Democrats in Utah, but also plenty of majority Democratic districts.
Libertarian capitalism created the perfect breeding ground for fascism.
Another cisgender girl in Utah has been accused of being transgender, leading to fears for her safety in the midst of an ongoing moral panic over transgender participation in sports.
Anti-trans legislation and rhetoric is a win-win for bigots! Not only do you get to oppress the minority of people who are trans, but you can also oppress women (and men who don’t conform to stereotypes, but mostly women) by baselessly accusing them of being transgender.
