The former U.S. president’s remarks are not only factually inaccurate, but dangerous.
During a conversation onstage at a Moms for Liberty event last week, former U.S. President Donald Trump said that “the transgender thing is incredible.”
“Think of it; your kid goes to school, and he comes home a few days later with an operation. The school decides what’s going to happen with your child," he told the Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice.
First, schools are not providing sex-change operations to students. Even from a purely financial perspective, that seems obvious: Teachers still have to buy their own crayons; schools aren’t shelling out for surgeons. Second, educators are not deciding “what’s going to happen” with students, beyond subjecting them to a pop quiz or an in-school suspension.

The Marxist schoolteachers not only give you a new gender, complete with a unique set of pronouns, they assign you a fursona, which corresponds to a litterbox in the hallway. It’s like Hogwarts houses for non-transphobes.

This implies that Harry Potter is for transphobes and I refuse to let JKR being a big ol POS take away Harry Potter from me. Death of the author exists for a reason.
Death of the author implies the author being dead (like, say, Lovecraft) and unable to cash in on your fame to fund their problematic crusades.
Anyway, as far as Hogwarts houses go, if you put one in your bio, you’ll start getting attention from ladies with floral names convinced that you’re also Concerned about “gender ideology in schools” or whatever.
