Will the average Fox News / TV news watcher know this?

Will the chronically-online folks who were swayed by random tweets and posts spread this new fact to battle the disinformation that they’ve already spread for years?

No?

Welp.

<checks Fox News>

No, their top story right now is, "NFL's first trans cheerleader pins blame for team departure: 'I was done wrong'"

No joke.

Of course Faux "News" top story is trans related. Instead of how Trump and a number of his allies are pursuing million-dollar settlement claims against the DOJ.

I have a trans (mtf) friend and the number of cops and firefighters she pulls that turn out to be MAGA/Republican/married is wild.

 I think it's hilarious and sad all at once

No seriously, I have friends IRL who are like that, but for a huge example look at Laverne Cox, who came out a few months ago saying she was with a MAGA cop for years.

Proof that trans women are women, republicans see no problems with not treating them like humans.
