    Yeah, it’s so weird how short-sighted this is - clearly they aren’t going to be happy getting what they’re asking for.

    But it makes more sense when you consider they don’t care about the “principle” such as it were - meaning their stated premise that somehow gender is immutable from the genitals you have at birth. That’s just the silently-agreed-upon pretext for bullying and hate to someone who makes them uncomfortable, which is the point of it all.
