    If Republicans had their way, she’d be making the men in her party sandwiches and otherwise staying silent.

    Women, racial minorities, and log cabin Republicans are a special kind of “do you know who you’re standing with?” oddity.

    But then again Jews for Nazism(Association of German National Jews) were a thing too, until they’d outlived their usefulness as misleading tokens and it was their turn for a train ride and suddenly they weren’t.

        Nah, they need brood mares. Once they come for the other scapegoat groups in order of size from smallest to largest, then they’ll take the women’s autonomy, demote their tokens back to nothing, and make women second class citizens again, treated as children under the “care” of their fathers, husbands, and brothers.

        That’s the fascist playbook, you don’t start with half the population, too much pushback. You pick off any potential resistance in order of the weakest, smallest groups first. It warms up their lynch mob and gets them into “git em” training with those that mob is least likely to have an “well I know some good ones I’m out” reaction.

            Not just “see her as.” I’ve never heard of a transwoman giving birth. I’m a huge fan of niche edge cases though and I’ve heard of one accidental finding of an XY, assigned female at birth person giving natural birth. This case was mentioned in research that was studying a family that had women that were experiencing hirsutism.
