Republican Texas U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz is under fire for using unauthorized images of two cisgender teenage girls in several campaign ads targeting transgender athletes.

The ads, which are part of Cruz’s multimillion-dollar re-election campaign against Democratic U.S. Rep. Colin Allred, criticize Allred for supporting policies that allow transgender athletes to compete in sports aligned with their gender identity. However, the Beaverton School District in Oregon, where one of the teens whose image appears in the ads attends school, has demanded Cruz’s campaign take down the ads.


“The family nor the school or school district ever gave permission for this photo to be used,” a representative from the Beaverton School District said in an email shared with The Hill. “It is alarming that your campaign would have produced/distributed/promoted this ad with false information, especially with minor children involved.” The Cruz campaign has yet to respond to this request.

Allowing people to not be discriminated against based on gender is not lunatic. Currently, it is S. Ct., precedent.

It causes you no harm. There is no documentation nor reason that trans people in gender affirming bathrooms are any more dangerous than bathrooms now.

Folks need to quit being scared of other people’s gentiles.

Beyond that, gender dysphoria is a recognized condition w various degrees. I have no issue w gender affirming care. I agree SRS by law needs to happen w adulthood. Even President Regan acknowledged that sexuality develops at a young age. How old were you when you knew you liked girls. You may not have known what all the encompassed, but it was at an early age.

What is lunatic is treating this people in a manner that they must be removed for public, criminalized, and prevented.

Here is the big lie of all of this. If a trans person can pass. You would not care, would not know to care. We do not stand outside of bathrooms and let some judge who goes in based on attractiveness to the women’s bathrooms

The idea bathrooms are less safe bc of trans people are stupid.

Use whatever bather you want. Take the sogmd off.

My Pa never had to explain to me what the condemn machine was in a men’s public bathroom. No one threw a fit. Grow up.

Your advocacy and your beliefs is what a trans student after enforcing their rights in the courts was best to death by a bunch of “normal” people.
