Someone with an IP address sourcing to the House of Representatives just edited the Orange Is the New Black Wikipedia page with the telling summary of “not a woman.”
That’s right, this Congressman edited out a sentence hailing the show for including “the first ever women-in-prison narrative to be played by a real transgender woman.” What did he replace it with? Hate speech.
The Congressman called Cox a “man pretending to be a woman,” and linked to an offensive article by National Review Online aptly titled “Laverne Cox Is Not a Woman.”
The change has since been reversed and the IP address has been banned from editing Wikipedia for a month, but you can see the original edit he made in the link above.
The change was spotted by a Twitter bot which tweets out links any time a Congressional IP address edits Wikipedia.
Spread this like wildfire.
I linked it to the post on my tumblr profile because I tried to use the original post on the ****yeahlavernecox.tumblr.com, but ATRL and it's stupid censorship made the link broken
P.S - Don't they have more important things in congress to be doing than watching OITNB and editing Wikipedia?
Of course they don't, let's not even mention that their salary is funded by tax payers who apparently pay for he / she to **** around on the Internet instead of actually getting things done

I guess editing wiki articles is more important than actually doing the **** you're supposed to do
