DURHAM, N.C — As the sound of 430 people clapping in unison began to reverberate off the brick walls of the Motorco Music Hall in perfect metronome timing, Laura Jane Grace stepped out onto the stage with guitar in one hand and birth certificate in the other—a document that she would immediately set on fire.

Never mind what we can all see.

Does one need to show a BC in order to apply for welfare, medicaid, a passport or anything else? This eunich-wannabe will be sorry, and complain about the ten buck fee for a copy.

What a shame. About 45 years ago, homosexual behavior, was considered mental illness, too. It seems that common sense just gets thrown out the door when mentally ill people and their mouthpieces make their perversion “the norm”.

So if someone shoots her it’s a non crime since she no longer exists? It’s called retroactive birth control.

North Carolina’s House Bill 2 . . . requires transgender people to use the bathroom that corresponds with the assigned gender on their birth certificate.

Obama to the rescue!

President Kennedy and the Greatest Generation Democrats: "We will put men on the Moon . . . . "

President Obama and the Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brat Democrats: "We will put men in bathrooms with your daughters . . . ."

If gender is over, the porn industry is dead.

Right?

Is a “trans punk rocker” a bluegrass musician who dresses as a punk rocker, the way a “trans woman” is a man who dresses as a woman?
