Saudi Arabia has had this program for 10 years or longer. They do not saber rattle like Iran and lo and behold no sanctions.

The liberals are like this on all their issues, but especially trans. They are starting to get pushback, so they are trying to railroad this as fast as possible consequences be damned.

11:15 You mean like the anti-Trump crowd accused nearly half of the nation's electorate who voted for Trump of being stupid, evil, or worse?
