@mattgaetz, with all due respect, stop pissing on people and telling them it’s raining.
There is absolutely no logical evidence that
@DavidJollyFL,
@GwenGraham, or
@KathyCastorFL want to “trans” my two sons. None.
Here’s the hard truth for you, and for everyone who reaches for the political boogeyman every time somebody on our side tries to have a real conversation:
My wife and I don’t sit around stressing over whether some politician is going to “trans” our boys. Our ten-year-old son is on the spectrum, and we know firsthand the challenges of managing an atypical life where crisis can become routine.
What we worry about is feeding him and his brother. Paying the mortgage and homeowners insurance on the house we’re raising them in. Giving both boys a quality education that meets their individual needs. Having enough money left over for the therapies our son needs, or even the hygiene and laundry products it takes to keep him and his clothes clean.
And then there’s everything life has already thrown at us.
Since
@realDonaldTrump has taken office, we’ve had to replace the refrigerator. We’ve had to replace the clothes washer. We’ve had to replace the central AC. Those aren’t hypothetical “what ifs.” They happened. And because the ever growing cost of everyday life has consumed what we once had in savings, we’ve had to take out promotional credit lines just to cover those expenses when they hit.
Now we’re trying to get those same-as-cash balances paid off before the next unavoidable household expense comes along.
Oh, and the dishwasher took a shit two months ago and has been a decorative kitchen appliance ever since. Its replacement is currently typing this response to you.
So no, Matt, “transing my kids” isn’t what we’re worried about.
We’re worried about raising them, providing for them, keeping a roof over their heads, meeting their individual needs, and somehow staying ahead of the next bill.
And here’s the hardest truth for candidates on the ballot this year: Those are the things I expect any leader who wants my vote to be worried about too.
Bro we need your vote.
I hate the war too.
But the Democrats want to trans your kids.
