JD Vance, no fan of gender-neutral bathrooms, was photographed in his high school yearbook next to three girls posing in front of urinals in a bathroom during his senior year.

    This is a picture in a High School yearbook.

    It’s not a picture of trans people exercising their rights to use a bathroom that fits their gender.

    It’s ridiculous to make those things equivalent and say it demonstrates some hypocrisy makes the author look foolish and desperate.

      Yet the laws proposed by Republicans do just that.

        Do you think it’s useful to say that the horrendous bigotry and transphobia put out by the RNC is also a threat to teenagers taking goofy photos for their high school yearbook or does that perhaps strike you as an unserious critique?

          You’re getting unreasonably cross about the obvious thing to say about a meme. Go shout at some pigeons or something and let people make fun of intolerant bigots on the Internet it peace.
