Thinking this morning of all the PE teachers and school coaches who I saw throughout my childhood call boys and young men "ladies" and "girls" as a way of, uh, "motivating" them and now claim that using the correct pronouns for trans kids goes against their religion.
Well, shit, Bob, you sure didn't care about your religion when you were misgendering cis boys under your care because you wanted them to win in sports.
If you ask grown men who are like this for their reasoning, they have none. There's no logic. They'll get upset and angry that they have to explain why calling a boy a "girl" is necessary punishment because no one ever actually challenges their misogynistic bullshit.
And the stuff some of these grown men say is a lot worse than that. Like one of my freshmen football coaches would chide players on our team for having "sand in their pussy" if they didn't play hard enough.
Therapy, y'all. I cannot recommend enough that more men get therapy.
