[I was privileged enough to have easy access to any book I wanted without needing to rely on the school library so it won't be a problem for people like me. It only prevents poor students and students with controlling parents from obtaining the books excluded from the school library so I don't care.]

[Also, the literal laws making it a crime for people to use the bathroom they are comfortable with have never impacted me so I don't care about that either.]

[Why are we wasting time and energy on issues that don't impact me personally?]

An impressive level of narcissism.
