“We would like to assure parents, teachers, and the public that the safety and security of Space Camp students is our number one priority."

Several Alabama politicians say they are concerned about children’s safety at Huntsville’s Space Camp after a parent complained about the presence of a transgender employee.

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville and Reps. Dale Strong and Robert Aderholt posted statements on X, formerly known as Twitter, after a parent posted on Facebook complaining about the gender identity of one of the U.S. Space and Rocket Center employees. The topic was also picked up by the Libs of TikTok account.

    Now imagine the unending, visceral vitriol you’d be feeling if you also happened to be transgender, and you’ll come close to understanding how I feel 24/7.

      I really wish people understood the psychological toll of this shit. It sucks to wake up, read the news, and be constantly reminded that a substantial amount of people hate people who are like me.
