If you are looking for a more secure and safe trans space, we suggest you visit https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns.

DeSantis has been trying to outlaw wearing clothes that don't "match" your sex while routinely wearing high heels. It's reasonable to ask about this.

Can you give an example of the bias you're referring to in the article?

Not the dude you are asking. I really hate attempting to defend any of the MAGA crowd or even approaching an "enlightened centrist" take.

But, I absolutely can't stand that slimy hateful fuck and imo I thought the article was oversensationalized compared to what I saw in the video. It didn't seem like "the whole room laughed", it didn't seem like it really threw Desantis off. I didn't notice a "nervous head bobble."

It's just a clickbaity "Desantis gets DESTROYED" article
