I just wanted to give a heads up to folks who came here and plan to kill off their accounts on Twitter. I SUGGEST YOU JUST LOCK IT. Don't delete your account. You're at a high risk of having your account title stolen and being impersonated.
I've made this mistake, but sadly it was the only way last year to opt out of their terms of service update. Just note that I am not on Twitter at all, anyone there using this handle is not me.
Good night and good luck

You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.

This whole so-called “parents rights” movement the right has taken up and the left is supposed to kowtow to for votes is so obviously anti-child it really bothers me to see it presented as anything other than justification for abusive “parenting” and disregard for actual science on child development
