Okay, for those of you who couldn’t hear, Patrick just asked why anyone would want to give up their spot on the boys’ varsity basketball team, permanently change their body, alienate themself from all their male peers, and face a lifetime of discrimination just to get horribly vilified in conservative media on the off-chance they make JV girls’ team.

The "Right" is manufacturing outrage and pure bullshit at a furious pace, and trying bury Liberals in it. The only bitter struggle is the truth trying to get its shoes tied while the lies are halfway around the world. It's like describing the monkeys at the zoo throwing feces at visitors as a "furious struggle between monkeys and humans". No, it's just monkeys throwing shit.
