Softball player Jordy Bahl also spoke, sharing a hypothetical trauma she might have experienced as a child seeing a trans woman in a women’s changing room. Bahl acknowledged no specific incidents, instead discussing the backlash she faced for her views.

So that person made something up ... and then the made up thing gave her trauma. And then she is worried about the backlash for making things up and complaining about the trauma is experienced for thinking of a made up thing.

What snowflakes.

these people completely ignore that combining “church and legislature” is a two-way street

OK, but that means I can get no-hassle government funding and legal protections for a church of people who believe in free abortions and weed, no? Or maybe a church for gun control measures and simplified public assistance? DEI and minority rights? Church of Saint Luigi? We can church whatever we want until we sneak back rights for the rest of us. Also these Christian nationalist women need to stick to their church's teachings and be quiet. Stop helping fuck over the rest of us for a cult that considers you inferior brings.

This is what really annoys me about these people. Separation of church and state is a good thing because it underpins freedom of religion. These people are dense enough to assume that it'll be their church calling the shots and not somebody elses (and considering how many denominations of protestant Christianity there are, it will more likely than not be one that they disagree with). They only want a theocracy if it's their specific flavour of theocracy.
