This episode we discuss the recent SCOTUS decision on allowing the trans military purge to continue while it's being decided in lower courts. We also discuss the optics issue with trans people and how the public doesn't know everyday trans people, but instead only have extreme examples which shapes public opinion. Most people don't know a trans person and everyday trans people are losing because of the radical trans activists and the radical right.

Capitol Police arrested Rheintgen on March 19 and charged her with trespassing, a second-degree misdemeanor under Florida law. She was jailed for 25 hours. She faces up to 60 days in a men's prison. Marcy is the first arrest and likely a test case for the Florida bathroom law HB 1521 that was signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis in 2023.
