Well shit, I keep forgetting and when reminded say "no fuck y'all you can't just change the gulf's name" and I don't appreciate the implications here (fair though they may be, I have ADHD and I'm bad with names, so I don't remember your dead name nor your new name nor your gender if it's a tricky one until like the 5th time we meet... no judgement I'm just bad with names, you don't even need to know mine, just make one up who cares.)

I don't believe Republicans making that argument (or any other argument) in good faith though, I think it's just old fashioned "hate of the other" with the dog whistle of the week.
