In Nebraska! I'm horrified that it happened, but gratified that they're evolved enough there to take him to task for it.

That hurts. I used to live in Omaha 14 years ago. There were plenty of progressive things there but there are also plenty of stupid people too. I really hate that hate crap. I hope she is okay and I hope she sues that @$$#01€.

Well isn't this delicious irony.

Lawmakers try to pass laws because they don't want trans women using the women's restroom, claiming we will assault cisgender women. Meanwhile a cisgender man invades the women's restroom to attack a trans woman.
