    To be fair, it looks like a joke costume he put on for some occasion. But I find it ironic that the laws being pushed by his political group would still make it illegal.

      It’s definitely a joke costume, but did we let that stop us with the couch?

      Let’s start putting out the word that we support JD Vance having access to all the gender-affirming care he needs.

        Dressing for fun, or dressing to mock people?

        Either way, that $5 Spirit Halloween wig is gatekeeping itself from drag.

      I remember some college dudes infiltrating an ‘old boys’ club that had a lot of conservative high office politicians. The camera caught Rude-y Ghouliani doing a little drag performance for some people at a table with this big grin on his face then he sees the camera and it’s MAGNIFICENT to see his face drop and turn to stone.

      This was early in the days of youtube.

      I mean, look anyone can wear what they want as long as it covers the naughty bits when they are in public, but to actively work to make life hell for trans people while privately crossdressing for friends as a joke is just disgusting beyond words.

      For real, me and a friend went to a costume party as Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton back in college. It was hilarious, we even acted the parts. I’ll admit I was a little nervous walking into a frat house dressed like that, but the cheers we got made it all worthwhile.

      This is normal human behavior that the people he’s with want to criminalize.
