I'd be glad to think the conservatives have let up on LGBTQ, but with my (as I've said elsewhere) ill-named SmartNews app I can see at least one, usually more, anti-trans article daily from such luminaries as TheBlaze and The Pluralist, and, yes, even the occasional National Review. Seems like they're farming the subject out right now at "simmer", running it up the flagpole and seeing how it plays to the rubes before going all-out pro-stupid later on.
Hillard makes me think of those right-wingers who, in times of Islamic Panic, claim that they're trying to protect LGBTQ people from the murderous (non-Christian) theocratic hordes--while also chuckling over bon mots on the order of "Bruce Gender is a confused woMAN" (direct quote, capitalization and all). Do the Hillards of this world think no one will notice them insulting the very people they're trying to be reasonable about, or do they just not care?
".. a movement whose success is inevitably attended by the sexualization of children, the sanctioning of brutality, and the dramatic curtailment of freedom of speech and thought." Damn, he has nailed Netflix!
Meanwhile, a woman is only a woman but a good cigar is a smoke - somebody tell Rudyard Kipling his copyright has expired.
Meanwhile, Dyke and the Blazers said it earlier and better:
You expose the pathetic ploys of straw men, hypothetical, and false equivalence, and do so with humor! I love this in your writing generally. Here it is like a how-to video. It reminds me a little of Tom Tomorrow. Kudos.
"When someone tells you who they are, believe them--the *first* time."
Did dude go straight to "trans people are child molesters"? Yes. Yes he did.

"When Big Brother arrives in the 21st century, he will appear not ... as a tormentor but as a disappointed neighbor or friend."
Imagine a boot, worn by someone with a neighborly face, forever.
