Montana Library Cancels Transgender Native American Author’s Event Over Drag Ban - Truthout

@mercedesallen @zleap In Montana today, you can get your transphobia & your racism at the same time: two for the low, low (apparently free) price of one!

I wonder what would happen if someone did a talk on the difference between cis and trans molecules in organic chemistry, from, what I understand, if if you say had a carbon chain with 2 halogens (instead of carbons) on one side the molecule is cis, otherwise if you have one on either side of the carbon chain, it is trans.
If these people try and ban such a talk, then they would look such complete idiots, the would have nothing to do with #Trans, but would be rather funny to see their reaction once their stupidity, ignorance and lack of education (other than what it seems, the bible) is exposed.
If nothing else it would spark discussions.
But on a serious note, keep telling these stories, as they are part of current events, hopefully one day we will look back and realise the early 2020s were such a dark period of history.
@zleap @mercedesallen Montane students, rejoice! It is now illegal to teach organic chemistry in the state of Montana!

Good point- but these people don’t give AF whether they’re right or wrong, or how ridiculous they sound in contrast to logic and the truth.
They only want to create a bogeyman that they can demonize & rally their adherents against, for the purpose of gaining political power. If they’d outlawed redheaded people, it wouldn’t matter that redheaded-ism isn’t something a child can be “recruited” into, nor how many sunburned bald men were accidentally caught up in the fray.
