A little less than a year ago, celebrated author Stephen King made the bold pronouncement that “If men could have babies, abortion would be a scrament [sic].”

Astute observers couldn’t help but notice the inherent transphobia of King’s tweet. So one might think that in the time since he sent out that tweet, King would’ve dedicated himself to getting educated about the fact that men can indeed have babies. But alas, it would appear that King learned nothing from that whole experience, because yesterday, he doubled down on the TERFitude:

Once again, the tweet on its surface sounds like an icky defense of the right to kill unborn babies, and to be sure, that’s what it is. But it’s also, according to the current rulebook, callously dismissive of all the trans men out there who can and do get pregnant every single day!

How can King be so progressive and yet so backward-thinking at the same time?!
