Donald Trump Told Me What He Really Thinks About ‘Theater Kids’
The problem with a popular new insult on the right is that it also describes the president.
www.theatlantic.com
In 2004, I interviewed Trump about Broadway. He’d seen Evita 6 times, thought Patti gave “one of the great stage performances of all time” & told me theater was tougher than Wall Street.
“Theater kid” has since become an insult in his political orbit.
I dug out the old interview for The Atlantic.

Q: You control Congress now, so why not do the checks now instead of after the election?
TRUMP: Because if the Democrats get in, our country will be in shambles

This is the world JK Rowling helped create. This is what Harry Potter is funding. All the legal challenges to enforce this regime are backed by Rowling and her Harry Potter money.
A trans man in the UK has been banned in the workplace restrooms after he was forced to use the women's restrooms to comply with the new EHRC guidance. The women complained because he is visibly male and so they told him he can't use any bathroom.
![A screenshot of a Reddit post from the r/LegalAdviceUK subreddit by user Dijstraanon, titled "FtM transgender facing two different issues at work? England."
The post text reads:
"Brother in law is trans FtM and presents fully as a man. He's now facing an impossible situation at work with his employer telling him that due to recent legislation he must use the toilet of his birth gender. BUT several female colleagues have raised a grievance about him using their gendered toilet.
His employer has told him that he cannot use the toilet while he is at work until they sort it out and cannot give him a timeframe to do so. They do [cut off] have disabled separate toilets.
In the mean time one of his female colleagues has accused him of sexual harassment because he was used their gendered toilet. His menstrual cycle meant he needed to use the toilet.
He's been with the employer for just over 5 years but only in this location for 18 months. The location is mainly male with just a handful of females, and his workshop only has male toilets.
I do not know how to support him and as he's not in a union there is no one to turn too right now."
