In June, Ohio mom Abi Bechtel called out Target’s gender designations in its toy aisle.

Just googled the Ohio mom, she happens to run an interesting blog titled "Faith, Feminism, and Fat Acceptance" :) You couldn't make this stuff up.

And so you are sick to death of white, evangelical, cisgender heterosexual American men. Sick of patriarchy and condescension and those narrow gendered boxes. Sick, utterly sick of the evangelical idolatry of gender roles that is carried on the backs of hungry children and hurting children and children caught in the crossfire while the adult world of the culture war rages on around them. Because hell yes, you are angry.

Them Ohio moms!

They seem to have changed some since I knew them, though they were certainly willing to stand up for themselves. I think that when I left Ohio (almost half a century ago), I had heard of "cis" only in reference to Cisalpine Gaul, and of gender only in reference to nouns, pronouns, and adjectives.
