    Basically, like… How the hell did anyone greenlight this? I’m starting to think Vance is the GOP’s biggest weakness right now. Ya know his name wasn’t always Vance, he actually changed it because he had trauma associated with his previous name due to parental abuse.

    And yet he wants to ban transpeople from changing THEIR names…

    Hypocrite

      I looked it up to see what his name originally was. I think he actually changed it twice, right?

      James Donald Bowman

      James David Hamel

      James David Vance

        We should totally call him “Bowman” and “Hamel”, Deadname the fucker until he respects Transpeople. If he doesn’t honor us, we cannot honor him.

          I’m in. From now on JD Vance will be known as “James Bowman” as far as I’m concerned. Would love to see this gain enough steam for him to actually see it
