Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail
Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail
The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.
Allowing your kids to die of measles: go right ahead
Allowing your kids to be happy: straight to jail
The question I have is why? Who does this help? What good does it do in the world? All this sort of thing does it hurt people, regardless of whether you agree with their life choices or not.
What religion teaches people to behave this way?
Trumpism.
All republican talking points are grievance politics scapegoated onto undesirables. Any legitimate issue is the fault of immigrants, trans people, gay people, etc. Therefore when trump hurts these people, he is fixing the problem.
Now, you'll notice that the average republican suffers more under republican rule, but they don't notice because people that make them feel icky are getting shafted harder and that's the important part.

Small safety net.
Large authoritarianism.
When they say "small government", what they mean is "consolidated power".
small enough to inject into your blood!
nanogovernment! utility clouds of government! grey government goo!
Given they don’t understand what pronouns are, I’m pretty sure there’s recursion in this bill and a future where all Texans have to send themselves to jail. Silver linings.
As long as children keep dying from measles, this is a wonderful distraction!
The slow removal of my basic human rights and criminalization of my very existence feels like a little more than just a distraction. I'm not upset at you I just really hate these things that in fact are greatly affecting my mental health and overall well-being. I'm afraid to even leave my house presenting as my true self.
I don't know how helpful this is, but we'd welcome you with open arms in most of europe on a social level, especially west and northern europe. On a institutional level there are requirements that vary from country to country about work and skills etc.
Since things are getting really bad over there, it might be worth properly researching.
Texas has already been making lists of trans people.
Fun fact - “detransition activist” Chloe Cole (a seriously mentally ill woman who detransitioned after several bad LSD trips as a teenager, who’s mostly being puppeted around by Do No Harm, an extremely shady anti trans organization) - well, her lawyers want data on all trans people and their care covered by Kaiser.
I think Vanderbilt also outed a bunch of its trans patients to several state’s attorney generals.
HIPPA is toothless right now.
Easy loophole: Just identify as your gender. Trans women are just women now. Trans men are just men now.
What will stop them if everyone, literally everyone just said they identify as their gender? And if asked if they are trans all say yes? It's easy solidarity and respect for each other
kinnda funny the same rednecks running 'dont tread on me' flags are fucking terrified of trans people. cowards.
It's all about freedom in Texas. Freedom for me and my kind.
I wonder if the most hateful are their women...
Love how they can't mind their own business. Even if you think something is weird as long as it doesn't harm you leave them alone.
To be perfectly honest, I think furries are kinda weird. But hey, they're just doing their thing. Why would I care? Be free, my furry friends.
That's a good value to hold. So thing that a lot of Conservatives can never understand. They then try to make up B.S. reasons about how the groups they don't like are "hurting" them.
This is how they intend to disarm trans people.
Oh no
Also this isn't a boring dystopia thing, it's the regular kind
This shit hasn't been boring for a long time. Unfortunately.
People who support this aren't American anyway. Real Americans believe in human rights
bans identifying as human
The sad thing is that Mango Mussolini would be stupid enough to actually pass something like that.
Sounds like thought crime to me.
A whole gay jail? Sign me up!
nope, a mostly straight jail. they won't put us together. specifically, trans women like me are sent to men's prison and assigned to be the prison wives of violent inmates to pacify them and as a "reward" for good behavior. it's called v-coding.
In reality, I'm guessing they would just lock you away in solitary and forget about you while you absolutely lose your mind.
Naaawwww :( I wanted to be locked up with fellow enbys. Would be a RIOT in prison.
Ugh
*cocks gun*
"WHAT DO YOU IDENTIFY AS?"Fuck this shit
What can we do for trans people that live in Texas and need to get out?
