The dumbest woman in Washington's response to the trans flag put up near her.

[Maraya1969]

She literally put this up in the US Capitol.

1. Alas, I suspect her voters won't get the science...

any more than she does.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

2. I wonder if she's heard of Kleinfelter Syndrome (XXY)?

Or if she knows there's such thing as being intersex?

Or what the Prader Scale is?

My bet is she knows of NONE of this SCIENCE.

Not to mention, trans people aren't trying to create any additional genders (as her stupid-ass sign seems to be hinting at), only saying that their birth sex is the opposite of their actual gender (or however one is meant to properly convey this general idea).

[meadowlander]

3. Also gender isn't biological, it's a societal construct.

She means there are two sexes, but obviously, as you say, that isn't true either.

[MotorCityBeard]

20. I'm a liberal, gay man who didn't understand transexuals

or why someone would want to change/not identify with their birth gender.

SO, instead of demonizing them, I actually did something REALLY crazy and EDUCATED myself about them!

Things have not changed from when I was in high school; the big sin, the big crime that would get you bullied, was always to be different from the majority in any way.

[greymattermom]

4. Just leave some interesting scientific reprints under this sign.

The question isn't about sex anyway. It's about gender.

[SmartVoter22]

5. Defacing the Capitol building again

You and your kind will never learn.

The House Architect should bill her office for the sign's removal.

Pelosi should fine her for defacing the building.

[underpants]

11. Yes exactly. Also get out of the way before you cut the video. We couldn't read the whole sign.

I know this idiot has seen Vanna’s Expertise more than once. Come on!

13. I was thinking about the same.

6. the ignorance is overwhelming

on the first day of one of my college classes we were asked how many sexes there were... after many students said two... the professor went on to explain........

I really dislike the immature behavior of many of our lawmakers... we all have to live with this stuff

7. Article from scientificamerican

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/homophobes-might-be-hidden-homosexuals/
Homophobes Might Be Hidden Homosexuals

A new analysis of implicit bias and explicit sexual orientation statements may help to explain the underpinnings of anti-gay bullying and hate crimes

Homophobes should consider a little self-reflection, suggests a new study finding those individuals who are most hostile toward gays and hold strong anti-gay views may themselves have same-sex desires, albeit undercover ones.

10 Sec

The prejudice of homophobia may also stem from authoritarian parents, particularly those with homophobic views as well, the researchers added.
"This study shows that if you are feeling that kind of visceral reaction to an out-group, ask yourself, 'Why?'" co-author Richard Ryan, a professor of psychology at the University of Rochester, said in a statement. "Those intense emotions should serve as a call to self-reflection."

8. She's not dumb. She's an opportunist

She is hoping to change the narrative from she sucks and sleeps with a polyamorous love guru to one in which she gets all culture warriors to fight for her.

9. Young people know that the future is nonbinary.

10. Ok, Marge. How old is the Earth?

Say it where the people who voted for you can hear you.

Also, climate scientists and epidemiologists would like a few words with you.

12. "Trust The Science!"

[meadowlander]

24. Also why is "Trust the Science" in scare quotes?

Is there any room left to be offended by this as an English major?

[NurseJackie]

14. Our elected representatives need to avoid this type of tit-for-tat never-ending back-and-forth...

Our elected representatives need to avoid these types of tit-for-tat never-ending back-and-forth Twitter wars and feuds. It really accomplishes nothing meaningful. Sure, individual fans will be pumping-fists and giving high-fives... but when it comes to actually effectuating consequential change, or softening hearts and tamping down the heat... things like this never help. Nobody's mind is being changed. It's just a way to make sure the people dig-in their heels... refusing to budge or find common ground. It's just more gasoline on the fire.

All I'm trying to say is that I wish our elected representatives would stop engaging in this type of behavior and focus their attention on more vital matters. Please.

What would Obama do? What would Nancy do? What would Biden do? --- Do that.

18. Great. Let's trust the science and save the planet.

And restrict gunz in cities.
And give out free contraception.
And provide help for the addicted.
And provide shelter and food and education for the poor.
And stop arctic drilling and other polluting industries.
And regulations so industry can't charge people $6K for a few weeks of electricity.

22. She's awfa glaikit

GLAIKIT adj. stupid, foolish

Scots have an amazing capacity for insulting each other. Glaikit seems to be one of our oldest terms for describing someone who is not intellectually blessed.

23. I trust the science...

...the science that says MTG is fucking nuts.

BTW when we bounce her ass from Congress for fomenting insurrection, we also need to send her a bill for fixing the wall.
