      I teach at a middle school, and we can't effectively police the rest rooms (fear of sexual harassment complaints, for real), but we had lots of complaints of harassment against TG students. So we opened the faculty restrooms to them (only room for one each), took down the men/women signs, and replaced them with "Whichever" signs. I am very proud of my school, not so much for this action (it came too late, and we do need to police the restrooms somehow) but for our huge LGBTQ program, which makes it truly ok to be out, but we let he TG kids down for too long. We addressed it in the end though with a very assertive new principal who would not tolerate bigotry of any kind.

      My school has a lot of issues with transgender students. The teachers and faculty are amazing and are very supportive, but students, not so much. I’ve been sexually harassed and bullied for being trans, which is why I never use public restrooms. Many other trans people often have the same experience. Sexual harassment and verbal bullying is unfortunately very common and I was unaware that the way many treated trans people, especially trans women, was very inappropriate because I thought it was common. I’m glad I live in an area where adults believe in my rights, but I’ve yet to trust my classmates

    I don't know how other people feel, but in my lifetime population has doubled, and quality of life has gone down. I do not want to live in the US with 500 million people. To me, it's already too crowded here and rents are way too high. In the 70's, a 2-bed, 1-bath bungalow style home cost $21k, but it's as if when women started working more, a bunch of men got together and put an end to an affordable life in the US, out of spite!

Forget cruel irony; that's the very definition of hypocrisy.

    I'm just going to say it: I'm from Texas (shout out to anyone else from here, especially if you're from around Fort Worth) and I voted last week for Beto O'Rourke for the Senate (I hope he beats Ted Cruz), Lupe Valdez for Governor (I hope she beats Greg Abbott), and Justin Nelson for State Attorneys General (I hope he beats Ken Paxton). I also have to admit, even before watching this episode, I have seen and heard many people that I know around where I live and work who are tired of the Republicans running our state right now, but I was unaware of some of this information John shared about Ken Paxton, so I hope that this influences some more conservative independent voters here to vote Democrat in this years' midterms.

    I spent hours today getting the best info on every candidate and measure. The only things I could not figure out how to vote on was the school board positions. Those people don't even exist on the internet. o.O

      Do they have campaign sites, or a blurb in your voter pamphlet, or have local newspapers covered their positions? I would telephone each one if I couldn't find anything else. * grin *

      All you have to do there, is ask your local teachers, and school custodians how things are going.

      For me you are talking about going from the time expenditure of writing an excellent paper, to writing a thesis. If I have to invest multiple days and interview people (and deal with the awkwardness) I'm not going to do it. I mean over the last 20 or so years what I want to do is stuff cotton in my ears... with a bullet.
      Pushing someone past their comfortable level of voter diligence is probably not a good idea. Filling in a box, or pushing a button on something you are not reasonably certain about is bad. NOT VOTING on an issue you do not understand is the epitome of ethical behavior.
      I honestly felt really proud of not filling in those boxes! LOL

      You are right. That's awesome advice. I just do not have many contacts in my community so that would have involved a lot of awkward communications and to be honest if I were going to hold myself to that standard I probably not voted at all.
      As I said above, sometimes not voting on issues you do not understand is the only ethical choice. :)

    Are LWT and John Oliver not simply the BEST!?! God , I LOVE this show! The old episodes are so fact-loaded (and wildly funny) they are infinitely rewatchable. I'm printing up cards to hand out 'cuz I'm stunned by how many people don't know this show. Then again, I live in Texas.
