JD Vance, no fan of gender-neutral bathrooms, was photographed in his high school yearbook next to three girls posing in front of urinals in a bathroom during his senior year.

    So it’s fine for teenage girls to go into the boys bathroom because “teens will be teens” but it isn’t ok for trans boys to go to boys bathrooms because… why, exactly?

    You’re making a lot of assumptions here; correlation does not mean causation. You don’t know of the circumstances behind the photo. You only know that there are girls in a men’s bathroom and Vance happens to be in the photo.

    I never said in any way shape or form that it wasn’t okay for transgender people to use their respective bathrooms. I sure as Hell have never defended Vance’s stances. But if you want to go putting words in my mouth because it fits your narrative, you go right ahead. But know this if you do: that makes you no better than them.

    Like how are you not seeing the blatant hypocrisy between this action and the rhetoric he spews?

    Honestly, if you want to rip on Vance for the things he’s done, it’s probably wise to choose more relevant situations to criticize him for; not some picture from high school that he was a part of simply because the student body president (not him) wanted to make a joke about the patriarchy of the time.

      I’m making assumptions? I’m putting words in your mouth when the only thing I’ve done is criticize JD Vance?

      Good god, sea lions are fucking exhausting. Very weird.
