Reply to comment by robotgunk in I read an article about Missouri’s House cutting funding to their libraries and it made me really sad. by poopmaester41

I’m honestly think the whole anti trans agenda in libraries is just a made up excuse to defund them so people (especially older people who tend to frequent libraries) won’t blow a gasket as they all begin to close. The government, rather than just saying, “most people are moving to digital”, feel they need an excuse, which is so much worse than just leveling with folks.

Could be, especially with older voters a key demographic of supporters. But then pointing out that digital is frequently an effective replacement might let said older voters in on the fact that the kids can look up all the inclusive sex education material they want online (and that just for starters), and then there'd be more of a push for internet regulation too.
