US Senate candidate, SC

No such luck, Lindsey. I'll be there.

Thank you to our hosts for accommodating Senator Graham's refusal to take a Covid test, and changing the debate format to keep everyone safe. 🙄

Making fun of Leningrad Lindsey is one thing -- but making it all about his gender is an insult to trans people.

This is how I can remind the self righteous little prick that the world knows his ways. It's not because I think he is trans or gay.

I have a very strong wife and raised an equally strong daughter. I'm right there with you about how our world needs more strong women. I voted for Hillary, donated to Elizabeth Warren, and I will be voting for Kamala & Joe.

It's really difficult for me to judge what you said, deleted and all, but I doubt you said anything too terrible, and you probably shouldn't have deleted it.

I call him Lady Lindsey, but that's what his colleagues have called him for decades, along with "light in the loafers". None of that is a Slur in any way, unless you think it is.

tans people. It is just a widespread way that many gay men refer to one another. No one is implying that the other is trans and that it is bad. Maybe it is more along the lines of drag queen I don't know. But I know all my dear gay men friends routinely refer to each other as "Miss"

misogyny and transphobia? That is actually a point of tension between the gay community and the lesbian community.

That said, the now deleted post referenced hormones - which has nothing to do with how gay men refer to each other, but is a common component for trans individuals to help align secondary sex characteristics with their gender.

and - gay men using it among themselves (as many of my friends do) is one thing.

But when it finds its way into the broader community it is a bit like white folks using the term n***** because they hear black folks using it in a friendly manner their own community.

Even if the white person has been given permission by their close black friends - that doesn't mean it is appropriate for that person to use it among a different group of black people, and it is definitely not appropriate for a white person to use it on a message board.

But also because Harrison is a fucking rhetorical assassin and deserves to win. He'll also be funny as fuck continuing to own GOP Senators in the Senate.
