It’s clear that if there’s something Americans cherish, liberals are always ready to ruin it. Take mall Santas, for example. An anti-Trump leftist writer has the audacity to claim that letting your child sit on Santa’s lap is creepier than allowing them to share a bathroom with a man who insists he’s a woman.
And supposedly, sharing the bathroom with a woman who claims she’s a man as well. Yet, these so-called men never seem eager to use the men’s room.
Progressive nitwit Joyce Carol Oates got triggered by an article she stumbled upon on the X-Twitters about the wholesomeness of mall Santas.
A normal person would see such a post and think, “Awwwww.” They might even reminisce about when their parents took them to meet Santa Claus at the mall or when they take their own kids every year. I did it over the weekend with my niece and nephew. The smiles on their faces were priceless and heartwarming. But again, I like to consider myself a normal person.
Oates sees the article and thinks about all those poor trans men who are shamed for using the girls’ room. Like those recently in the news having a dance party in toilets or that social media influencer Rep. AOC had a meltdown over. For Oates, men using the girls’ room is just fine:
“Men in women’s restrooms” is a near-obsession on Twitter these days but no one expresses the slightest concern about total strangers (male) disguised in lurid-red Santa Claus suits taking children on their laps in public malls & promising them gifts if they are “good.”

Sure, there’s some blind faith involved in trusting that Santa has been properly vetted. However, maybe it’s just me being Mr. Old Fashioned, but it’s normal for a child to sit on “Santa’s” lap while you or another trusted adult is present.
It is not normal for men to demand access to girls’ safe spaces or for leftist nincompoops like Joyce Carol Oates to be obsessed with allowing men into these spaces. But hey, there’s always another election if progressives want this to be their defining issue. An odd hill to die on, but to each their own.
