The Spin
Left narrative
In America today, conservatives wage a calculated assault on gender-diverse lives — stripping dignity, policing bodies, and reducing humanity to a bureaucratic checkbox. The recent humiliation of a lesbian teenager in Minnesota is no anomaly, but the inevitable cruelty of politics that treat identity not as a birthright, but as something to be proven.
Right narrative
When ideology erases biological truth, it strips women of privacy, safety, and protections that have been hard-won over generations. The humiliation of a Minnesota teen shows how liberal policies enable chaos in spaces meant to safeguard dignity. Defending reality-based definitions of sex isn’t cruelty — it’s the only way to preserve fairness, trust, and the integrity of women’s rights.
