“I’m devastated,” said Joslin, who is trans and uses they/them pronouns. “We don’t take our positions in the park service to make money or to have any kind of huge career gains. We take it because we love the places that we work.

Then do your fucking job instead of stealing time for your political advocacy. When you do the job you are hired to do, your chances of keeping it go way up.

Once again they invert bullying and love. They took the job so they could bully park patrons. They like midwit positions of authority because they can do a huge amount of damage and generally get away with it.

Until the inevitable, when they go too far, and expose themselves.

They share a lot of character traits with serial killers.

The ex-ranger said they plan to fight the decision, citing an executive order issued by President Trump that protects Americans’ free speech rights.

So, it would also be okay for me to drape a Nazi Germany flag up there? Confederate flag? Let me guess in reality it's inappropriate to leave any flag. I often see things about "leave no trace." I guess that excludes sexual fetish propaganda?

According to the article there was no rule until the day after this thing was fired.

Let's be real, they'd be just as mad if someone went up there to hang Old Glory.

Who knew that fatigue comes in all shapes, sizes, colors of the rainbow, and even pastels?

Acting Deputy Superintendent Danika Globokar fired Joslin due to their participation in what leadership described as the “flag demonstration,” Joslin said. ... Joslin said they asked for evidence proving that the flag display was a demonstration but said leadership did not provide any.

The employer didn't need to provide evidence as this jackass already had:

Joslin said they came up with the idea to hang the trans pride flag on El Capitan in the spring after President Donald Trump issued a variety of executive orders targeting trans people, including orders to change the federal definition of sex to exclude trans identities, restrict access to trans health care and prohibit trans women from competing in female sports.

"How do we best fight the government?"

"Drape an ugly ass flag over an obscure monument that is 2,600 miles away from where the President is."

"Perfect!"

El Capitan isn't exactly an obscure monument so much as a well known rock wall in a national park. Not sure how much generic tourism it gets, but it's pretty well known within rock climbing circles, so it's definitely a case of activists attempting to annex territory.

I get what you're saying.. but 99% of people couldn't point to a picture of El Capitan in a line up or probably even tell you where it is.

If I "made a display" on my employer's property to showcase what an asshole I think my company's CEO is I'd be out on my ass as well. I bet everyone here is in the same boat. What makes this faggot so special?

When engaging in this type of "advocacy" it causes far more harm to the cause it purports to support than simply shutting the fuck up and minding it's own business.

But that's not what it wants. What it wants is to metastasize in every way it can. I believe it's inherent to the condition of being a barely sane fucking sex pest.

Fantastic. Stop trying to claim political conquest of nature.

If there was a single penny of taxpayer money spent on it, throw they/them in jail, too.
