NewOverreach, really

Mon, 06/09/25

It's a basic issue of overreach, IMO. In the past few years, here's just a sample of what I've seen:

  • Repeated lawsuits and prosecutions of cake bakers, photographers, and others who simply didn't want to work for same sex weddings and the like.
  • Biological males entering women's spaces like locker rooms and bathrooms, some of them committing sex crimes in the process, even beyond the obvious 'indecent exposure."
  • Biological males entering women's and girls' sports and taking places/championships that belonged to women.
  • Biological males hurting women and girls as they enter their sporting competitions.
  • Trans activists entering childrens' spaces like story hours at libraries. Point of reference; the "Pride" materials at the Rochester MN library are mostly in the children's section.
  • Trans activists endorsing a "shall transition" theme that ignores the fact that the strong majority (80%) of kids with gender dysphoria revert to their birth sex.
  • Dylan Mulvaney bringing the drag show into places like Bud Light commercials.

More or less, they pressed their advantage under Biden, and the world got to see that whatever was at hand, it certainly wasn't just about tolerance. As a result, corporations quietly said "we're not going there."

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
