According to a 2020 Supreme Court ruling, they’re literally violating the Civil Rights Act here.
Of course, endgame is probably to get a reroll because the Supreme Court is a joke now.

I saw the Facebook comments of the guy who started all of this. It is nothing but hate and paranoia of Trans people.
Fuck these bigots. I went to Space Camp as a kid and it was one of the most welcoming camp experiences of my life.
The goal was to have everyone come together and work as a team for our 'shuttle mission' above anything else.
Any system that doesn't immediately remove three people promoting blatant open hate speech is broken. My employer ( and hopefully most these days) would fire these people instantaneously. Government needs internal anti-hate regulation and fast. There's zero reason to let this shit even happen anymore. Pathetic.
We should send their children to a house of god to be sodomized by trusted leaders instead!
Poor person just trying to live their life and educate kids.
Holy buttsex!
Holy cannoli in my holey
Just elected officials targeting a minority citizen for existing, singling her out to their violent, ignorant base. Nothing to see here, they'll probably doxx her next, maybe shoot at her feet, try to take some upskirt photos, I dunno, we'll have to wait and see what they do next. One things is for sure, the officials won't be reprimanded or face consequences in any way!
I've always been sympathetic toward Trans people, but cases like this really illustrate how shitty it can be to just exist while Trans in America.
With most "minorities" there are still so many of them in any given community that it's hard or pointless to single any one out for hate. But with a Trans person you can call them out by name because they rarely have anonymity within a local collective.
Like, this person was working a cool job, probably proud of themselves, helping kids and enjoying life. Now they're being called out by elected State officials and online random. Being called a pedo and a freak... I can't imagine what that does to a person.
Now let's find all the quotes from these people railing about "Cancel Culture".
I'm sure you know but that's how hate mongering and fascism works: target the group least able to fight back. Use that to build support so once the group folds you have the ability to target a slightly stronger group next. If they have their way, once trans people have been final solutioned they'll go after other queer groups and minorities that are 'hard or pointless to single out'. It'll be easier to single them out then and far from pointless it'll be required to continue to fuel their machine
For a lot of trans people myself included this is part of why we're so loud when even the smallest threat to our rights shows up. We know what happens next if we get removed from society we're not just fighting for ourselves
Word.
This is why I keep putting up our pride flag, if it isn't safe to do that then we are not safe.
So they've solved every significant problem for their citizens and now are inventing fake ones?
The only significant problem was that they didnt have the freedom to be openly hateful, now that right has been restored, America is great again and all is well.*
*(For white males)
As ever
They have no interest in solving any problems, only creating new ones.
That man was never sending his kids to space camp. He just decided to doxx the only known trans person within 100 miles of his home.
Hopefully the organization doesn't cave and backs their employee.
Anything other than backing the employee would be grounds for a discrimination lawsuit. They can’t claim public pressure made them fire them if the main reason was gender identity.
Yeah I'm wing to bet a guy called "clay" probably believes NASA is an evil organisation that lies to you about the earth not being flat.
There might be a kid in danger in his house.
He’s definitely putting on a dress and fucking his kids. Every accusation is an admittance.
The South doesn't deserve all the cool NASA stuff.
Huntsville is actually a really cool area although you could argue it's because the cool NASA stuff is there.
That's the only reason. It's still in the shit hole that is Alabama. Crap like this just proves it.
Same thing for most places with military bases, the only reason Dayton Ohio is even on the map is WPAFB.
Well, it's also the birthplace of aviation, but whatever.
Hangar 18 🤘🤘
How much does it cost to get in to see the . . . you know. winkwink
The aliens are a hoax, but there's some other neat stuff. Graffiti from nazi POWs at one point, whatever the museums got going on, underground tunnels that totally don't lead to underground hangers, etc.
lots of them dont, but the kids still definetly do
