JD Vance, no fan of gender-neutral bathrooms, was photographed in his high school yearbook next to three girls posing in front of urinals in a bathroom during his senior year.

    For what it’s worth, I have to agree with you. I guess people forget that kids do stupid shit in high school, and this photo isn’t really that stupid. Now if this was a photo of Vance organizing a right-wing group in high school, that might be noteworthy.

      Under his proposed law, these girls would be guilty of a crime and would be sex offenders for using a bathroom that doesn’t match their birth sex. The fact that it’s in a school makes it “worse”.

      You might say that’s unreasonable, but the unreasonable thing is the law, not the kids.

        I don’t know what these psychopaths have to do before people like this (not you if that wasn’t clear) listen to what they’re saying. It’s unbelievable. Vance openly supports legislation that would literally make these girls criminals, period.

        They’re telling us who they are, and exactly what they will do. Please listen.

        Yes, he’s a hypocritical misogynist, and he’s obviously an opportunist who will do and say whatever it takes to appeal to his base — even if it means throwing his wife under the bus with blatant racism. You’ll get no argument from me about that. But this photo is not the smoking gun everyone seems to be making it out to be. There is nothing revolutionary about it at all. It’s not even his photo. He just happens to be in it.

        You might say that’s unreasonable, but the unreasonable thing is the law, not the kids.

        Get upset for the right reasons. This photo isn’t one of them.
