I don't have to remember.

I live in a little dot of slight majority Democrats in one of the, if not the, most conservative state(s) in the country. The litter box bullshit gets brought up almost every single time I have a conversation with someone about trans issues. I generally don't bring it up, they do. They are obsessed with it. And it doesn't just happen here, I travel all over the US for work and hear it most places.

I hear the litter box "point" brought up I'd guess at least once a month. I don't talk to that many strangers either.
