2. Next comes the ban on . . .

. . . on the near-mythical "sex change operations."

Check out the Facebook page for Winsome Earle-Sears, currently Virginia Lt Governor, now running for Governor.

Sears' is such a weak candidate that her campaign focusses on one and only one matter: "boys in girls bathrooms." In this rightwing, MAGA fantasy, all a boy must do is say "Well, I feel like a girl so I think I'll go pee in the girls' restrooms." Sears' whole campaign is nothing but TV ads, mailers, and speeches denouncing "boys in girls bathrooms," playing on a few cases of kids doing stupid stuff and one convicted sex offender who pops up from time to time.

But it gets worse. The same crowd is pushing the fantasy that a student can tell a teacher "I'm a boy(girl) but I want to be a girl (boy)." and the teacher, with the help of the school nurse and a visit to the gym locker room, will perform a "sex change operation," sending the student home with a new gender.

Just wait for SCOTUS to get hold of this non-issue.
