I don't recall anything effeminate about those characters.

No, just thinking it funny that unemployable hippies are now considered better than hipsters.

Real men deal cocaine and enjoy free love in communes.

Those squares look like they work middle class jobs, slaving for the man! Turn on, tune in, drop out like Syt's family wants you to do.

Yep, Real Men are liberal non conformists who do a lot of drugs.  Screw law abiding non real men.

Snopes had a bit on this, focused on the public identification of the involved parties.

The articles focus on a long-running, bitter divorce case in which the parent awarded custody has purportedly sought treatment, including hormone therapy, for a child questioning their gender identity. The other parent has sought to block that treatment and, while losing in court, has taken the case to the alternative media.

The parent who opposes treatment has given multiple interviews and provided details about the child's medical case. Sensational but one-sided stories based on that parent's statements have appeared on RT, the Russian state-funded media network, numerous right-leaning sites, and a website founded by a former Texas state senator.

We emailed questions to the editor of that Texas publication asking why the site felt the need to publish photographs of the child, and whether the editor had any reservations about doing so. The editor did not answer those questions but instead offered this response: "Upon viewing these, I'm not seeing any fact-checking questions or desire to confirm details surrounding the ... case. They are questions about our internal processes and decision-making when it comes to reporting on issues important to Texans."

An attorney for the child's custodial parent said in an emailed statement that the parent has been the target of threats, harassment, and vandalism to property as the result of reporting on the case by alternative media outlets.

Shady, shady shit from the parent in question.  Hormone blockers delay the onset of puberty, giving more time to a transgendered or potentially transgendered youth time to sort things out without having to deal with the potentially devastating bomb that is puberty with the wrong hormones.  The father, in my opinion, proved how unfit of a parent he would be by doing what he did in terms of sensationalizing the story, selling it to right wing outlets, and generally disregarding or actively working against the wishes, safety, and well-being of his own child.  Fuck that guy.  I'm glad the mother got sole custody.  Luna is far, far better off now.  As is her twin brother Jude.

Only those who have benefited from Socialism understand being poor.  I think that's what they are saying.

[The Brain]

Only Americans know what it's like to be poor.
