Sen. Ted Cruz has introduced a bill that would limit the use of preferred names by trans people.
The irony, critics point out? The senator, whose legal name is Rafael Edward Cruz, uses a preferred name himself: Ted.

Wait until they hear what Nikki Haley's real name is.

Well? Don't leave me hanging.

I'm much too lazy to type her name into Google. But I'm just un-lazy enough to ask you.

Nimrata

Fucking WHAT?! Wow.

Ok. I won't make jokes about someone's name. I'll leave that to Trump and conservatives at large who judge people based on 2nd grader standards.

Nimrata (Gurmukhi: ਨਿਮਰਤਾ nimaratā) is an important virtue that is vigorously promoted by Gurbani and Sikh history. The literal translation of this Punjabi word is "Humility", or "Benevolence".

You can say she's given up pretending to be benevolent.
