Seems like there was something in the Bible about loving one another. Apparently, the white Christian nationalists have forgotten that

Umm yeah thats a man

National Propaganda Radion strikes again. Women have a right to fair play in sports. Women have a right to sex based resources. Stop the gaslighting. People are waking up. More and more people see through the bullshit language gender ideologues have created.

So is Zoey fighting to undo girls sports? And for anyone who says - but there’s so few trans athletes - for every MtF there will be 100s of girls forced to compete against a bio male, so it’s not actually a few when you remember the girls instead of focusing on what the boy wants

a man

NPR has sold their soul to the Arcus Foundation. Every single day they tout gender stories and never once mention how their unwavering support for trans endangers women or children. Shame on NPR.

Well just as long as you’re happy… And trans women do have an unfair competitive advantage. By comparison where are all the trans men victors challenging and defeating long held men’s records?

You mean they are groomers.

Im still waiting for npr to discuss the laptop. Oh wait they do Brandon's biding too. How do so called ' educated ' people follow proven liars. Get your vax everyone to stop the spread.

So, by definition, a trans woman isn't a woman. If he were an actual woman, then there would be no need for 'trans' as she would be an actual woman.

No lesbian should feel guilty for not wanting to sleep with a dude with a dick, just because they say they were a woman!

Zooey Zephyr is just one of hundreds of men elected to Montana's state legislature. He is a man.

the mental illness wolf is in the henhouse

hide fake dudes face

ZoAndBehold We can win! Don't let the bigots and the apathetic write us off.

Great example of why NPR is now laying off staff: NPR was always left leaning but they once they went full woke I stopped listening because every story was a lesson or struggle session. NPR became unlistenable. Guess I’m not alone in that sentiment.

Why would you try to curb 'anti-gay' bills if that's what the people want? Democracy means the majority decides things, no?

Way to go ZoAndBehold !!!! ⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

NPR is not a real news organization but a state funded DNC propaganda site!

Further downward spiral

I know you have zero integrity and will never cover this, but I still want to ask if you have any follow up to this?

LGB needs to secede from the TQ in the U.S. just like the UK has done.

Can one be for 90% of what LGBTQ+ want yet still be labeled as anti-LGBTQ+ for being against the 10%? Is it an “all or nothing” scenario?

Sooo… another white man in the state legislature. 🥱

How about the Hunter Biden cover up on Twitter?

Not a woman

Gen Z! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🌈

He's a man!

Oh you mean bills that protect girls and women and their spaces? FYI - LGB community is seperate from the T now. The T activists are making the entire community look terrible. Phoebe2403 RevFemStBeat TaniaAMarshall MeghanEMurphy StopXXErasure

How are the L's getting along with the T's?

Anti- trans = not good at pretending boys are girls

Can she have a hysterectomy? If not, she is a he, unfortunately. scienceisreal

Congrats, Zooey!

To all Block the trolls that spread the vile hate

So curb protection for children and women.

Which bills are anti-LBLAHBLAH?

“Zoey” is a psychologically and spiritually sick man whose illness you should not encourage.

Every once in awhile, I like to look at the replies to NPR articles, the POTUS account, ect, just to add to my block list a bit. It never fails that some of the worst accounts on this site will reply with their nasty-ass opinions, crying out to be pre-emptively blocked.

who is this elf? War Eagle!

🤢🤮

No One Gives A Damn! How sad that this is the only thing that makes them news worthy..

LGBTQ chorus in Colorado Springs unifies community with songCOLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Below the vaulted dome and dark wood beams of a church in Colorado Springs , a gay men's choir rehearsed for a concert that's taken on new meaning after an LGBTQ night club became the site of a shooting that killed five and wounded 17. Funny how fast this story got memory holed nationwide as soon as we found out the shooter is a transvestite 🤷🏼‍♂️. Why? All I can add...
