“At the time, we did not believe that we would find ourselves where we are today,” Hemminger continued. “The transgender movement has ceased focusing on adults at all — nearly all of their efforts and those of their aligned special interest groups focus on minors. They push schools to teach radical gender ideology; they want biological men in women’s sports regardless of the consequences; perhaps most offensively, they support gender reassignment treatments for minors, often without the knowledge or consent of the parents, knowing full well these treatments are mostly irreversible.”

    As a non-us person, this term “log cabin” confuses me. Can someone explain please? I understand from context they’re gay republicans… But what’s that got to do with a wooden building in the forest?

      It’s a reference to Abraham Lincoln’s possible bisexuality. He grew up in a log cabin in Illinois (which at the time was bumfuck nowhere and now is where our 3rd largest city, and the 5th largest city on the continent is)

      I’ve never understood it fully but think it’s a reference to the people taking action versus an organization doing so.
