Similarly, 20% of respondents who are personally close to a trans person agree that it’s never appropriate to discuss that some people are trans in public schools — a view that has been pushed by the anti-LGBTQ+ group Moms for Liberty and other so-called “parents’ rights” groups. That percentage rose to 41% among respondents who don’t know any transgender people.

Trans people must be very powerful, if the mere knowledge of their existence appears to be this dangerous to these ppl.

If I did a push up every time I thought about how I should be working out I'd be ripped.

I should really work out.

I'll literally at Dairy Queen eating ice cream right now, while my gym across the street is looking on disappointed. I should really work out.
