Sam Brinton, the first openly gender-fluid individual in federal government leadership, uses they and them pronouns. They are a brilliant nuclear engineer and LGBTQ activist.

They were appointed as the deputy assistant secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy.

Meanwhile LibsOfTikTok is run by the domestic terrorist Chaya Raichik. She is a hateful bigot who should be executed by the US government.

      Their history is suspect enough that they probably shouldn't be a spokesperson for conversion therapy victims imo, but this seems like a "we are criticizing them for real reasons, they are criticizing them for shitty bigoted reasons" sorta thing. I don't see what it has to do with their larceny, sex practices, or ability to do the nuclear whatever-they-do.

        yeah, anytime this sort of thing shows up at the same time as a rightwing hate campaign, I view it with a lot of suspicion.

        Honestly kind of weird for anyone to even bring this up in this thread, but whatever.

      Almost entirely likely to be bullshit. They’re the first gender fluid person in the federal government and chuds have been obsessed with trying to drag them.
