Pritt was initially elected to the state House as a Democrat in 2022 but changed his political affiliation to Republican the year after. Republican Party chair Elgine McArdle said in a statement that Pritt had realized that the “Democratic Party of today is not the Democratic Party that our parents grew up with.”

State Republicans have filed numerous bills seeking to restrict gender-affirming care for transgender minors, ban trans student-athletes from playing on sports teams that match their gender identity, and nullify cities’ non-discrimination ordinances.

In 2023, Pritt voted for a ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth. State Sen. Mike Azinger ® said that the bill was needed because gender is “self-evident” and that the bill was needed to stop doctors who want to “chop up a child,” even though gender affirming surgery is almost never performed on minors and the bill banned non-surgical interventions.

Why is it always the ones you most suspect?

    I’m not going to argue with you about sex without explicit consent. I’m not.

    Make sure you’re getting consent from the people you sleep with moving forward. It’s important.

      I was wondering how long it would take for you to imply disagreeing with you meant I was confused about consent. You did it everywhere else.

          At no time did I indicate I didn’t understand consent. I only ever questioned your made up personal definition of sex. lol

              I don’t recall asking you to. I’m not confident you’d even be up for the task, to be honest.

                You’re just salty that you’re getting downvoted for your bad takes on rape and consent.

                This is the last I’ll say on this:

                Children cannot consent to sex with adults

                  Fake internet points don’t affect my decision-making or emotional state. lol
