I prefer that folks be kind to one another.

I prefer that SCOTUS not be packed with Y'all Qaeda Christo-Fascists!

I prefer for folks to be accepted and affirmed by the courts and our society writ-large as they identify.

I prefer that folks not conclude that SCOTUS magically pulled their head out of their Nazi asses, wiped the shit out of their eyes and now see the world through the eyes of reason when all they did in this case was ignore the hair in their soup while Gorscuh affirmed his own opinion from Bostock.

I like to dance and celebrate victory as much as anyone, I just don't see one in this case.

Happy Saturday!

The Headline Is Bullshit Click-Bait. There Was No Decision About Pronouns. MayReasonRule May 2023 #10

The headline is accurate. They used her proper pronouns in the ruling. Nevilledog May 2023 #12

The Article's Headline Has Nothing To Do With The Nature Of The Decision, The Usage Was Dicta MayReasonRule May 2023 #13

The problem is you are reading affirming as related to a ruling. That's not the meaning here. Nevilledog May 2023 #15

How Does Dicta "Affirm" Anything? It's Merely Used "In Passing", Right? MayReasonRule May 2023 #16

Because they're affirming that she identifies as a woman. Nevilledog May 2023 #18

The Biden administration was seeking to deport this person. former9thward May 2023 #11

That's Precisely Correct. The Decision Had Less Than Zero To Do With Pronouns. MayReasonRule May 2023 #14

Thank you, Justice Jackson. Aristus May 2023 #17
