Sapphic LawyerFuck off with calling all these anti trans and anti gay laws "controversial." They're hate laws. They're fascism. They're evil.
Journalists are going to "both sides" fascism until they are literally executed by the fascists.
Nicole ParsonsThe euphemism "controversial" is to evade lawsuits by the moneyed.
Thiel shut down Gawker using that tactic.
Another phrase that journalists are avoiding is public corruption.
Anti-LGBTQ laws are public corruption.
Fascism is funded by GOP billionaire donors' attacks on trans rights to achieve their agenda.

I remember as a young engineer analyzing a system, I was told to replace the word anomaly with phenomenon. I felt it was a political and wrong thing to do, but those were my orders.
I recall feeling upset about that, and after stewing a few days I pulled my previous reports from my bookshelf and crossed my name out in them.
Of course that act affected nothing, but helped me refocus on finishing the current report.
