“The only way anyone is going to realistically try to enforce this is by looking at a person and deciding they don’t look quite ‘feminine’ or ‘masculine’ enough.”
Republicans never, ever stop thinking 24/7/365 thinking about children's genitalia. They tied the bathroom ban to relief legislation, then called a special session for it, ignoring the folks homeless from the floods, then had the nerve to ban Democrats for it!
But no one will hold them accountable, so it will continue to worsen.
Will anyone notice when red states make it legal to lynch and murder us?
And kids go to school, some are transgender -- this is a law to mandate child abuse.
Social Conservatives/gender critical ideologues are people who want to abut some children with the child's own sex. They are the child abusers they claim they fight!
I don’t see how it can be enforceable. People can’t (or shouldn’t) be forced to show their private parts to anyone. And it’s discriminatory because it only focuses on who pees in women’s restrooms as far as I can tell. No random stranger should have the right to ask anyone to prove their gender.
The silver lining of this bill is that it ensnares cisgender women who don't pass as cisgender. The only way all this madness stops is when it starts negatively impacting straight people's lives. I figure that just by sheer numbers, the phobes are going to get 10 false positives for every trans person they successfully clock.
We have a tournament scheduled for Fort Worth this season. Fuck Texas, fuck Hotwheels, fuck Paxton, I'll pee where I want. They need to start thinking about dealing with actual pedophiles, like the Orange Turd.
Republicans don't want to protect women. Republicans want to CONTROL women. And trans people upsets their precious dominance over women so therefore must be punished.
The ignorance of phobes knows no bounds. Despite the research the supports the self-evident nature of trans identity as a phenomenon, people say "God doesn't make mistakes", essentially. Well, they're almost right, he doesn't, he made trans people as part of the diverse world we live in, what is so impossible to understand? I prefer women to have male genitals, as a cisgender man, I also prefer the unique feminine nature of trans women, am I just a freak, should I be crucified? Are we that primitive? Fuck all this noise - revolution now, trans rights are human rights, women's rights are human rights (i.e. Dobbs defying the constitution). The system has utterly failed.
Republican Texans definition of a Woman acc to SB 8:
""Female" means an individual who naturally has or will have, or had or would have but for a congenital anomaly or an intentional or unintentional disruption, a reproductive system designed to produce, transport, and provide eggs for fertilization."
Irony: every fetus starts out potentially female and but for a “disruption” (the fetus being exposed to testosterone) would result in a reproductive system with eggs. So a strict reading of this definition does seem to say that literally everyone is female.
What is really so sad about so called Red states, is that I am sure many of them aren't really Red as per the registered voters. For example, in Texas, 46% of registered voters are Democrats, 37.75 are Republicans and 15% are unaffiliated. Gerrymandering has a hold on the state to block Democratic power. It will be even worse after this new round of Gerrymandering. I finally got my adult transdaughter out of Texas in May. I feel so bad for the people who can't afford to get out. I lived in Texas my whole life until 2021 when I just couldn't take it anymore. I was going to pride events before I had children. It is frightening how much the Republicans have rolled back rights over my lifetime of living there. I don't know if it has been posted here yet, but HB3817 was a bill to make gender expression other than what you were born as would be a felony in Texas. Thankfully it didn't pass.
The harsh reality is that there is no longer any reliable law or justice in this country. It is for all practical purposes a white christian police state. There will be no going back, only through it. Prepare for the worst. Expect it.

They do want to abuse some children with the child's own sex.

Backwards and insane.

And then they'll get sued by that person. Which absolutely needs to happen.
Unfortunately you are probably right.
We have a tournament scheduled for Fort Worth this season. Fuck Texas, fuck Hotwheels, fuck Paxton, I'll pee where I want. They need to start thinking about dealing with actual pedophiles, like the Orange Turd.
So Texans now have the right to question the gender of anyone in MAGA gear who heads in the direction of a bathroom...
🤬
Thank you for this piece 💕
My cis gendered daughter will be clocked way more often than my trans daughter. This is not protecting women at all
Republicans don't want to protect women. Republicans want to CONTROL women. And trans people upsets their precious dominance over women so therefore must be punished.
Jesus, we just want to pee in peace.
This is what happens when pedos are running government. Do not comply and remove these assholes any way possible.

This is far from a surprise Texas has to be one of the worst states in this country
These republicans have no moral compass, I’ll bet there many secret trans and gays that are members of the state officials
