Because of the State Department’s actions and the Trump administration’s relentless policies seeking to eradicate trans identity from all aspects of civic life, many have interpreted the State Department’s apology for deadnaming the lake as a sarcastic joke mocking trans people

    Distractions, distractions, distractions.

    Trump and team torpedoed the trade deal and its a political disaster for them. Now pay attention to Lake Ontario and trans rights.

    Shit… the only issue wit staying power was Epstein… but starting a war eventually took care of that.

    Im glad they figured out that deadnaming is not okay. Now lets see if they stick to the idea that if people go by a new name, they shouldnt continue using the old name.

    Glad we can move past all of this and agree that the new team names are permanent:

    • Cleveland Guardians
    • Washington Commanders

    Dont ever use the old names ever again

    I know we are in an trans echo chamber and all, but normies are going to snicker at this.

    I’m saying that fighting the deadnaming jibe will Streisand on you big time.

    It’s perfect troll food.

      No. Fuck you. This issue has nothing to fucking do with us and I will not be tied to it. The US does not own the lake. It has no right to unilaterally change the name. This isn’t deadnaming, it’s someone else giving you a shitty nickname and then insisting everyone else use it.

        Another one of Trump’s signature moves.
